Blatant The Last Of Us Rip Off Finally Copyright Claimed, Removed From eShop

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....

Call Of Duty Players Are Mad About SBMM Again

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....

Compound 49 Is Proof That Even A Board Game Can Be Terrifying

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....

Demonschool Turned Me Around On Tactical RPGs

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....

Every Disney Fan Needs To Check Out Bye Sweet Carole

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....

Every Secret Exit In Super Mario Wonder

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....

How Many Doctors Are There In Doctor Who?
