The first thing I see when walking into my local corner shop is a cardboard cutout ofMr Beastand a display featuring all of his Feastable chocolate bars. They’re an excessive £3 and it feels like we’re crossing a bizarre internet threshold as the world’s biggest YouTuber appears in cardboard form before me, ready to flog some mediocre confectionery. Jimmy Donaldson earned his spot as the world’s biggest YouTuber and is now likely one of the richest people in the world, all because he gamed the algorithm and threw so much at the wall until something finally stuck....

It was a rough year for the Xbox home consoles in 2023. Several exclusives did not do as well as initially projected, and a few were lackluster entries into the Xbox Game Pass library. But with surprise hits like Hi-Fi Rush, blockbusters like Starfield, and darling indies like Venba, the Xbox Series X|S consoles were not out for the count, and 2024 clearly looks to continue this positive trend. There is a strong line-up of games barreling toward us in 2024, including but not limited to Senua’s Saga 2, Dungeons of Hinterberg, and Microsoft Flight Simulator....

Naheulbeuk’s Dungeon Master put me into the shoes of a half-goblin with a Bitter Warlock Sidekick Certification. With few options on my plate, apparently, due to goblin discrimination, I was convinced to take a job helping manage an independent dungeon, described as one of the crown jewels of the Lands of Fangh. The ad mentioned wanting to take the dungeon to the next level, and Zangdar, the warlock in charge, spoke highly of his guards, traps, and treasures....

Splatoon and Mario Kart 8’s Wii U servers abruptly went offlineback in March of this year due to a security breach.

However, if they encounter this issue again, Nintendo has warned the servers might be shut down for good....

It feels a little bit like any time anyone dares to suggestNintendowill reveal theSwitch’s successor any day now and confirm it’ll be here sometime in 2024, Nintendo responds by doing something that suggests the Switch still has a lot of life in it yet. Whether it’s announcing a bunch of games all at once,Super Mario Bros. Wonderleading the way, or revealinga brand new special edition OLED Switchlaunching right before Wonder....

Nintendoseems to be all in on the nostalgia at the moment, as it recentlyannounced a remake of Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Doorduring the latest Nintendo Direct, a game that some consider to be the pinnacle of Mario’s RPG outings. The announcement came with a chunky gameplay trailer, in which we see multiple location from across the game gussied up for Nintendo Switch.

I often wonder what would have happened ifPokemonhad picked Rattata or Pidgey as its mascot instead of Pikachu. Pokemon is a megalith of popular culture these days, with the electric rat adorning everything from clothes in Primark to packs of cards stocked in just about every supermarket. You can’t go a few minutes in the modern world without being reminded of the existence of Pikachu, but what if, instead of an adorable yellow guy, it was just a rat or a pigeon?...

Rage is a pretty common word in video games. The root cause of broken controllers and toxic comment sections the world over, of all the modern world’s major art forms, gaming is perhaps the one most familiar with rage. RAGE could also be the key to gaming’s future - you’ll notice the subtle case change there.Rockstarmakes its games on the Rockstar Advanced Game Engine, or as you’ve probably put together, RAGE....

Shadowheart actor Jennifer English ships her character with Lae’zel inBaldur’s Gate 3, and wants to see more fan content of the unlikely pair.

She also opened up about how personally taxing it could be to play Shadowheart, as her own experiences as a queer woman influenced her performance as a character who grappling with their identity....

Arguably two of the most overlooked mainline entries inThe Legend of Zeldaseries are the Oracle duology. These two games originally launched simultaneously in 2001 for the Game Boy Color as some of the few Zelda games not produced directly by Nintendo, since these two were instead worked on by Flagship, a subsidiary of Capcom.

Sonicfans can’t believe how difficult Frontiers' Final Horizon update is, with players particularly struggling with the trial towers and their lack of checkpoints. Nearly a whole year afterSonic Frontiers' initial launch, Sonic Team has been given a second chance at the game’s finale with the Final Horizon, a free update to the game that not only changes the final few hours of the game and gives Sonic a brand-new version of his most powerful form, but also lets you play as Tails, Amy, and Knuckles for the first time in a mainline entry in a very long time....
