Pikmin 4delivers everything that longtime fans of the franchise could want.

For strategic purposes, of course. Related:Every Type Of Pikmin And What They Do Given that players had been waiting over a decade for a fourquel, it’s only natural that it’s stuffed to the gills with callbacks and references to prior adventures to make that patience worthwhile....

You’ll still need to play a lot to get the XP required, but there’s nothing as bad as that 1,000 Jason achievement....

This article contains spoilers for The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar. It’s only 39 minutes long, so I encourage you to go watch it before reading this. The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar will almost certainly receive the usual critique that “it’s the most Wes Anderson movie Wes Anderson has made yet.” I’ve written before about being annoyed by the laziness of discussing his work that way, but if you’re looking for Anderson’s tics, you’ll find many of them here....

Instead of burrowing metallic aliens, Captain Titus and his newly Primarised body is faced with hordes of Tyranid invaders.

We all love a good, meaningful title, but sometimes something simple hits just as hard. In fact, many of gaming’s earliest franchises have fairly simple names—Street Fighter, Super Mario Bros, and so on. But even a fairly basic name can have a lot of history behind it. Let’s takeMortal Kombat. It’s an interesting name and definitely sells the premise pretty well. But why the ‘K’? It’s not exactly a standard spelling, even if it does sound the same, and it even made the series more iconic in the long run....
