There was I time when I was a big fan of Dragon Ball Z fighting games, the Budokai series in particular. Maybe it was the wonderfully simple controls that won me over. Maybe it the punchiness of the combat. Or, maybe it was just the sheer hype that Dragon Ball just cannot seem to help…

Wait…That’s It?!
I don’t know about you all, but I feel like there’s are few things more frustrating in games than a wholly unsatisfying ending. Well, in games that are otherwise functional, I mean. Gameplay certainly and often does have its frustrations can be sure, but those frustrations can either be compounded or entirely mitigated by how…
Palworld Takes #2 Spot For Concurrent Players on Steam
I would seem that Palworld is officially a hit. Not only has he game, which is still in early access, already sold over 5 million units, but it has apparantly taken the all-time number two spot for concurrent players. As of this writing, Palworld hit an all-time high of 1,121,226 simultaneous playes as reported by…
Winter Game Wandering
One of the great things about the winter season are the big sales that almost all of the major platforms put on during the New Year’s period. If you were able to resist things when they first released, then you’ll more than likely be able to get them for a song here at the beginning/end…
Final Fantasy VII Rebirth Adds Fast Travel
In case there was any doubt, Square Enix has more or less confirmed now that the next chapter in the Final Fantasy VII Remake series will have absolutely massive map for players to explore. Indeed, it looks like the whole planet from the original game has been included here, but at a much greater scale….
Evil West is Fun Throwback to the Xbox 360 Era
While I am not generally in favor of subscription services like Xbox Game Pass anymore, I’d be lying if I said that I haven’t gotten some good experiences out of them. The most recent of these is Evil West, which is one of the games included in PSN’s Games With Gold program this month (January…
Xbox Capture Deletions Start This Month
Microsoft’s policy regarding in-game captures goes into effect this month, meaning that users need to hurry up and make sure that they’ve backed-up all of their favorite videos and screenshots. As reported by ComicBook.com, it seems that users risk losing that data if they don’t get it offloaded to an external location before the mass deletion…
Hatmonster’s Most Anticapted Games for 2024 and Beyond
You know, there was once a time when you could make a list like this for just the coming year. There were enough games confirmed for it that you could confidently talk about what you were looking forward to playing within the next few months or so. Now though? Now release dates tend to be…
Revisted: Fixing Donkey Kong 64
Hey all, I hope you enjoyed the holiday break (or perhaps are still enjoying it)! I know I sure did…or at least I’m assuming I did. In the interest of clearing the way for the new year (and because the first week of the new year is pretty dead news-wise), I’m writing this a couple…
Hatmonster’s 2023 GotY: BG3 and…
I’ve been hearing a lot of talk recently calling 2023 one of the best years in gaming. To be completely honest, I don’t see it. I mean, yeah, a lot of pretty good stuff came out this year, but I feel as though very little of it was actually memorable or impactful. In my case,…
