Late on Sunday, Helldivers 2 players got a big surprise with the sudden addition of mechs into the game. Now mechs were apparently announced a long time ago, so their existence isn’t the surprise. Rather it’s theirs and other vehicle’s sudden surfacing that is. How it’s come about is not yet clear at the time…

When Games Bring Out Your Ugly Side
For the most part, I think games are supposed to be a relaxing thing. Once your day is done and its compliment of tasks are completed, enjoying a game should be a matter of stress-free fun. I think this is mostly the case for single player games, but, for me, multiplayer is a different story….
Yoko Taro Teases Possible Sequel to Nier: Automata
It seems that us Nier: Automata fans might just be getting a follow-up to one of our favorite games. There’s nothing official of course, but even just the hint of a sequel would be notable, and seems we’ve finally gotten one. We mustn’t get our hopes up, of course, but even so this is rather…
Looking Longingly at PC Gaming
There was a time when I thought consoles were (and would always be) the best way to play. They were so much easier and faster than PCs and I’ve always much preferred a gamepad to keyboard controls. Of course, the years have seen most, if not all, the advantages of console gaming slowly get whittled…

In fact, I think I only got into Persona 5 because of the music and my friend’s constant recommendations. Ever since playing Persona 5 though, I’ve considered myself a fan, even though I…
Helldivers 2 Hits One Million Copies Sold

The Pressure to Play
I’m not sure how much this applies to other hobbies, but with gaming it sometimes feels like something that must be done rather than something to enjoy at your leisure. This shouldn’t be the case since video games are inherently a pastime activity, yet it persists all the same and comes from a variety of…
Pocket Pair Says Palworld Servers “Won’t Go Down” Despite Cost

According to The Loadout, the game has seen more than 19 million players (and counting) log onto try the developer’s “ARK meets Pokemon” survival-crafitng game, and that it’s seemingly coming at ridiculous cost….
Game Grind: Fun or Frustrating?
I remember a time when I used to get excited upon hearing a game developer boast about how many hours their game would take to finish. Something like “we’ve crammed over 200 hours into this thing” used to sound awesome! And, rarely, it was. I remember being obsessed with the likes of Skyrim or Dragon…
