So, I think it’s safe to say that Nintendo had the most exciting showcase during Summer Game Fest, yeah? Sure, there was the usual crop of smaller announcements that aren’t that big of a deal, but then they came out with punch after punch! DKC Returns HD! Mario and Luigi: Brothership! The Legend of Zelda:…

Palworld Could Be Hitting the PS5 Before Too Long
Palworld was perhaps the first big hit of 2024, with the game more or less taking over the internet for a good three weeks or so. The hype has died down quite a bit since developer Pocket Pair is still working on the game’s next installment of DLC, but it’s still a game worth following…
You Know What? The Console Wars are Pretty Dumb
Isn’t it kind of silly that this is still going on? Heck, it was silly all the way back in the 90’s when many of us were still just dumb kids. Yet, somehow it’s endured and it still inspires feelings strong enough to manifest outside of the internet. I actually had a brush with it…
Embracer Group Shuts Down Pieces Interactive
Another AA developer joins the ever-growing pile of husks being left in the wake of major publishers. This time it’s Pieces Interactive, the studio behind the recent Alone in the Dark remake. The reasons for the studio’s shuttering aren’t clear yet, but speculation has it that it has do to with Alone in the Dark’s…
Summer Game Fest – Focusing on the Positive
The first time I attempted to write this piece, I wound up with what amounted to an ex-tended rant about how utterly pointless events like Summer Game Fest have become. I went on and on about AAA publishers showing the same old stuff and using the same old tricks to try and drive preorder sales…
Nomada Studios Announces NEVA
The studio behind GRIS is finally coming out with a new game! The trailer debuted during Devolver Digital’s showcase during Summer Game Fest, and I have to say that it’s looking like it’s going to be at least as emotionally hard-hitting as its predecessor.
Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door is Back!
I’d say that Nintendo surprised just about everyone when it announced a remake for Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door last year. I mean, the company had spent the better part of 15 years trying to pretend that it wasn’t fans’ most beloved entry in the series and insisted on taking said series further and further…
Silent Hill 2 Remake is Getting Some Backlash
A new trailer came out for Bloober Team’s Silent Hill 2 Remake, and it’s gotten a few people upset. It’s not so much that the gameplay looks bad or anything, it seems. But rather, it’s that a couple of the game’s major characters look more than a little…off in this upcoming version.
Crow Country Doesn’t Quite Make it Back to Old School Horror
After playing through Crow Country’s brief demo a couple of months ago, I was eagerly looking forward to playing the full version. Classically-styled survival-horror is some thing of a rarity these days, so I’ll pursue it anywhere I can find it. So far, Resident Evil 7, Tormented Souls and Signalis have all provided great experiences…
Warhammer 40k: Inquisitor – Martyr Adds Offline Mode
Fans of the Warhammer 40k-themed RPG: Warhammer 40k: Inquisitor – Martyr (man that’s a long name!) got a great piece of news from developer NeocoreGames recently. Not only will the game be getting a new class, the “Hierophant,” this October, but starting last week, the game is now playable offline!
