Listmas 2024: Even Scrooges Need Christmas Cheer

We’ve already covered our favorite allies and most memorable gaming friendships and family relationships.  So now let’s look at the other end of the moral spectrum.  Because you can’t really have a good adventure without some villains causing the main conflict.  These guys might be on Santa’s naughty list, but that doesn’t mean they can’t…

Listmas 2024 – Villain Teams That Just Work

Good friendships and camaraderie among good-aligned characters are pretty common in gaming.

Recently, Microsoft announced several editions for Avowed, the newest game being made by Obsidian. While they all had goodies that people are sure to like, none actually included the game on an actual disc, and that’s got fans of physical media upset.
