2023 was a year packed with absolute bangers, and 2024 looks to be on the same course. Almost everybody’s backlog is filled with critically acclaimed games that we just haven’t been able to get to thanks to the cluttered release schedule. If you’re someone who plays on multiple platforms, then you’re bound to be juggling between a bunch of games. So, we’ve decided to help you decide which games you should play next....
The developer behind The Last Hope made no attempt to conceal the game it took, uh, inspiration from when it was released onNintendo Switch. Because that’s the point, it seems. It’s almost definitely there to dupe someone who thought they were getting the non-existent Switch port ofThe Last of Us. One of the characters even looks exactly like Ellie and everything.Finally, weeks after The Last Hope first attracted attention online, its (not entirely successful) deception is at an end....
Skill Based Matchmaking has beena contentious issue in games for years. Simply put, it ranks you with players of a similar skill level, which means you’ll face good players if you’re good at the game. If you’re bad at the game, you’ll face bad players. Sounds fair, right? Not to the community, who are again outraged at the newestCall of Dutyfor implementing SBMM. Fans decry that it has “killed” the series, making it “sweatier” than ever....
While there areplenty of gameplay elements you might want to prepare forbefore journeying into the Dark Place, you may also want to find out who’s voicing the compelling characters within these terrifying worlds.

After winning his first two matches of the day at the Pokemon World Championship Series last weekend, professional Pokemon player Brady Smith, three-time regional champ and founder of VGC Corner, revealed that he had been disqualified from the competition. On the website formerly known as Twitter, Smith wrote, “DQ’d at 2-0. Should have gotten my mons myself! Half my team was modified/genned. I didn’t have Legends of Arceus to get the Lando....
The most scared I’ve ever been playing a board game was the time in middle school when my friend knocked a glass of root beer onto our six-hour game of Risk. I still sometimes wake up in a cold sweat thinking about that moment. All those plastic soldiers, washed away in a river of sticky brown. Board games aren’t what I would consider a medium for telling scary stories. Don’t get me wrong, there’s plenty of horror-themed board games that are exceptional....
Quick Links There are dozens of opportunities to earn Inspiration inBaldur’s Gate 3, from helping people to hurting them. While many Background Goals offer you an even blend of both good and evil choices, the Haunted One is a unique background that will have you skirting the line of morally gray at best. The ability to chart your own course and decide your fate leaves many choices on the table. While many will choose to save the day as a hero, the Dark Urge struggles with their violent past....
Summary I am not very good at strategy or tactical games. It’s for the same reason I’m bad at chess – my brain can’t visualise my opponent’s possible responses, which means I’m basically winging all my moves, all the time. I fly very much by the seat of my pants, which is why it took me a while to figure out how to play Demonschool. The developer had to do everything just short of moving the mouse for me through my first two battles, but once I got the hang of it, it was surprisingly fun – it might even have turned me around on tactical games....
I have been screaming about wanting a goodDisneyvideo game for a decade. The last good one was Brave in 2012, and even then, it was only kinda good. You’d have to go back to Tarzan in 1999 to find the last Disney game that I would push forward as a bona fide ‘good Disney game’. I’ve never vibed withKingdom Hearts(andeven die-hard would agree that the characterisation of Disney stars like Mickey is its weakest part), Epic Mickey felt empty, movie-ties got worse and then died out, and while Infinity had potential,I am sick of nonsense like Twisted Wonderland and Speedstorm....
Quick Links Nintendo’s been hiding secret exits in Super Mario stages since Microsoft Windows was still a few months from launch. It would be disappointing to learn thatSuper Mario Bros. Wonderlacks in this lovely tradition. Crisis averted, then, as there are at least seven secret exits to be found. Seven might not sound like a ton, but Wonder is flush with variety - a little of this, a little of that, a little of everything that’s made past Mario games so good....

Quick Links How many actors have played The Doctor inDoctor Who? It seems like a simple enough question - 14. We have that many numbered time-travelling sweettalkers, so there must be that many actors. If you want to include The War Doctor and Jo Martin, it only goes up by two. Oh, if only it were that simple. RELATED:Magic: The Gathering – Everything We Know About The Doctor Who Commander Decks...
