I’ve long been of the opinion graphics don’t really matter, certainly not of much as they used to. You could have the most realistic or high fidelity game ever made and it’d still be garbage if the gameplay is no good (see: The Callisto Protocol). However, this isn’t to say that visuals don’t matter at…

Pokken Tournament DX: Demo Review
I don’t think I’ve played a Pokemon game since the Nintendo 64 and GameBoy Color era. That finally changed when I tried the demo for Pokken Tournament DX, a Tekken-inspired Pokemon fighting game originally released on the Wii U and later re-released on the Switch.
There May Be Such a Thing as “Too Much Pokemon”
You know, Pokemon is kind of amazing. Despite all predictions for multiple decades now, the franchise remains the single most popular and profitable entertainment property in the world. Seriously. The pokemon craze that started all the way back in the mid-90s is still going strong almost 30 years later! Wow! What’s even more amazing is…
Mod Removes Ed Sheeran from Pokemon Scarlet/Violet Credits
Pokemon Scarlet and Violet is has been having issues across the board since its recent launch, and quite a few fans are upset with it. Funny enough though, the most annoying thing in the game isn’t some glitch, but an Ed Sheeran song selected for the game’s credits. And what’s even more funny than that:…
Pokemon Scarlet, Violet Breeding Mechanics Detailed
Pokemon breeding has been a mechanic in the series since the days of Gold and Silver on the Game Boy Color, so you’d think the rules and mechanics would be pretty well established by now. Typically, players would find the Pokemon Daycare Center, drop-off the two pokemon they’d like to breed and then go run…

2021’s Most Played Switch Game Was…Fortnite. Wow.
As is typical of the New Year’s season, there’s really not all that much to talk about in terms of gaming news. I mean sure, Square Enix really stepped in it with that NFT nonsense, but I don’t really want to talk about NFts at them moment (who does? they’re so stupid!) So, how about…
Listmas 2021: Four Mascots Who Add a Bit More Cheer to Their Games
After talking about all the unfairly delicious-looking foods in games last week, it’s probably best to step away from things like treats and items for a bit. Instead, how about something both gamers and in-game characters can enjoy? Something like say, cute mascot characters? There’s a reason mascots are still around in both the real…
