During the Pokémon GO’s Season of Max Out (Tuesday, September 3rd, 2024 to Tuesday, December 3rd, 2024), Dynamax and Gigantamax Pokémon were added to the game.

When Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4 was announced a few days ago, fans such as myself were excited. It’s been too long since the THPS series was prominent and while the excellent THPS 1+2 hinted at a bright future, Activision Blizzard put the kibosh on things after the game sold…
Love ‘em or hate ‘em, Battle Royale games are all the rage these days. Typically reserved for first and third-person shooters, many were surprised to learn the beloved classic puzzle game Tetris would be entering the fold. I’ll admit I was the first to give it a passing eye-roll. Yet…

While the original Super Mario World 2: Yoshi’s Island is an unmitigated classic, sequels starring everybody’s favorite tax-evading dinosaur have been of disputed quality. From the very simplistic Yoshi’s Story on N64 to the ear-screeching soundtrack of Yoshi’s New Island on 3DS, it wasn’t really until Yoshi’s Woolly World on…
NOTE: The following piece is a work of satire. Talk about a financial blunder! A first-run, mint-condition sealed copy of the original Super Mario Bros. has gone for a record breaking $100,150 USD at an auction, which is the first six-figure price for a single collectible video game. But the…
