I lovedRugratsas a kid. To be fair, I liked most of theNicktoonsthat were on when I was growing up in the late ‘90s and early ‘00s — shows like Doug,SpongeBob SquarePants, Rocket Power, and Hey Arnold — but Rugrats was nearest and dearest to my heart. As a kid, there was something special about seeing kids even younger than I was getting up to all sorts of mischief. It was inspirational — these babies can have cool adventures, so why can’t I?...

I’m in my full-blown Marvel Snap era right now, which seems pretty ill-advised considering how many incredible new games are coming out. But with the one year anniversary underway, it felt like the right time to check back in on the game that stole my entire summer last year.So much has changed, and it’s been a lot of fun getting caught up on all the new cards, gameplay modes, and systems for acquiring new cards and other rewards....

In just a few weeks, it will have been a year and a half sinceKingdom Hearts 4and Missing Link were announced. Since then, there’s been a Missing Link closed beta for Japan, and… nothing else. I had my hopes pinned on at least a mention at the Tokyo Game Show but, alas, radio silence continued. Square Enixis going full steam ahead with marketing forFinal Fantasy 7 Rebirthin the meantime, which makes sense, considering its launch is mere months away....

When it comes to influential long-running manga series,JoJo’s Bizarre Adventureis at the top of the list. New chapters of this series have been getting published since the late ’80s, and the author Hirohiko Araki is showing no signs of slowing down, with the series gaining more international attention thanks to the 2012 anime adaptation of the series.

Like A Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Nameis scheduled to release later this year, bringing series legend Kazuma Kiryu back into the fold after a brief absence, albeit under a different name. Kiryu coming back will no doubt bring joy to many fans, but while one series icon has made his triumphant return, another has been unceremoniously replaced - the iconic Yakuza font that has been a staple of the franchise since its conception....

Mortal Kombat 1players aren’t happy with the new selection of Halloween-themed skins that just hit the Premium Store, as the ones added so far are just reskinned versions of the default outfits. To say that Mortal Kombat 1’s launch has been a bit of a rocky ride would be an understatement. Although most fans are happy about the game’s roster, story mode, and gameplay, there are a lot of things about MK1 that have upset fans....

Mortal Kombat 1has just given us our first look at Sindel during Gamescom Opening Night Live, as well as gameplay featuring Shao Kahn. The two will be joining the main fighter’s roster. If you don’t know Sindel, the original timeline depicted her as Edenian, while the second timeline made her an Outworlder and eventually a Revenant. More importantly, she’s Kitana’s mother, ruling as queen of Edenia. And in the newest, third timeline, she is the “empress”....

Quan Chi is part ofthe first Kombat Pack’s line-up, which many took to mean he won’t be a part ofMortal Kombat 1’sstory. However, eagle-eyed fans have spotted him slumped over and knocked out in the new Banished trailer.He’s wearing what looks to be a spin on his classic red and green outfit from his debut game Mortal Kombat Mythologies: Sub-Zero. you may also make out his distinct tattoos and ashy white skin, even sharing the same pauldrons as his Kombat Pack look which is more in line with his appearance in MKX....

I’ve had a complicated relationship with Naruto x Boruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm Connectionsever since it was first announced. After years of waiting for the next mainline game in the series (or anything other than Shinobi Striker), the initial reveal decided to present it like some sort of HD remaster of the original four games, which were already widely available on most consoles. Thankfully, that rough first showing didn’t stick with Connections for too long as, since that nightmare reveal,more highly-requested characters were confirmed to be joining the battle....

No game does discourse quite like theInsomniacSpider-Manseries. So it’s no surprise that the sequel to a game that gave us “puddlegate” is back at it again, giving us another daft, inconsequential drama to laugh about before launch. Because - and strap yourselves in for this - Spidey’s suit looks kinda different. You heard me, there was a slight change to an asset during development. Someone get the class action lawsuit filed....

Peter Molyneux says he has “enormous regret” for how he promoted his older work, such as theFableseries, after details he brought up in interviews failed to appear in the games. This includes the infamous claim that the first Fable would let you plant an acorn and see it grow into a tree as the game progressed. These comments were made during a rare interview on theMy Perfect Consolepodcast (as spotted byEurogamer), where Molyneux addresses his past controversies....

Squishmallows are incredibly popular right now, andthe officially licensed Pokemon squishmallowsare the most popular of all. There aren’t all that manyPokemonsquishmallows available so far. The collection launched with four Pokemon to choose from, andtwo more went up for pre-order, and likely sold out almost immediately, not too long ago. Pokemon isn’t hanging around though and has already announced which two ‘mons will be getting the squishmallow treatment next. The official squishmallow Twitter account had the honor of revealing which two Pokemon will be ‘mallowed next, and this time, it isn’t just one that already has a squishmallow with a slightly different facial expression....

I’m rubbish atPokemon Sleep. How can I be rubbish at a game where you play by sleeping? By having a toddler who joins us in bed every night, that’s how. I don’t blame her – I can’t stress enough how little I care about this game – but it means that I wake up to scores of around 250,000 compared to my colleagues’ 2 million plus hauls. Four hours of sleep disturbed by intermittent screams does not a high score make....
