The Worst Kept Secret in Conker’s Bad Fur Day

In the pantheon of 3D platformers, Rare’s Conker’s Bad Fur Day is a bit of an outlier. It has the bones of an exploration game with the muscle of a puzzle-platformer and the brains of an action-platformer. But its most noticeable departure from tradition has to do with collecting.

Costco Removes Xbox Products After Latest Price Increase

“Unprecedented” is a really good word to describe the current console generation.

The Many Secrets of Hollow Knight

Now that Hollow Knight: Silksong is out and has made me eat a very big sandwich stuffed with my own words, my thoughts have turned once more to its predecessor and the qualities that made it such a special experience. There’s no one thing that makes Hollow Knight great, but, since we’re in the midst…
