Dbrand’s Killswitch case for the Switch 2 is lightweight, blends in well with the console, and feels good in your hands. There’s just one problem: it interferes with the Joy-**** magnets and can make the portable hardware easy to drop if you’re not holding on correctly, which, to be quite honest, many of us often… Read more...

Microsoft’s gaming business is seemingly in for another round of mass layoffs.

Following the game’s relatively short introduction, in which you create your character and their background, you’re dumped into the desert unceremoniously; the world of Arrakis sprawls as far as the eye can see. It’s daunting. And it feels like everything and everyone you encounter wants to kill or consume you. (They… Read more... View the full article
The limited edition Meta Quest 3S Xbox Edition (yes, that’s what it’s called) looks neat. I’ll give it that. The all-****** model with the green inlays cuts a nice contrast with the normally white-only VR headsets. Everything else about it confuses me, including why it exists. Read more...

Not long ago, I bought a VR headset in anticipation of the then-upcoming Resident Evil 4 port. (I have a problem, I know.) Since then, I’ve played a good amount of VR. Or rather, I was until it got so damn hot out that now I’d rather do anything but put a hot, sweaty VR headset on my face or sit near a large PC or… Read more... View the full article
At the beginning of every run in Monster Train 2, you have to choose the two best clans to take with you. But with such a wide variety of them, and the ability to mix and match, it’s hard to decide on which ones to bring with you. For our money, these two are the best clans to bring with you on your journey to heaven. Read more... View the full article
Last May, CEO Bob Iger told analysts on Disney’s fiscal second-quarter earnings call that the company would move Marvel away from its gluttonous past, opting instead for a significantly reduced output of movies and TV shows.
