Monster Hunter Rise is starting to roll out Event Quests, giving players new rewards and encounters if they take one.

I’ve delved into the Skullgirls saga many a time before, and how the game and its community just won’t stay down. Now its latest DLC character has been announced, and she’s perhaps the poster girl for long-term tenacity herself. A story NPC since the game’s original release, allegedly crucial to…

Very Very Valet, the upcoming chaotic co-op puzzler from Toyful Games was announced late last year as a timed Nintendo Switch exclusive. With the game’s release date approaching faster than a puppet valet with a lead foot behind the wheel of a sports car, the game’s developers have decided to…

The new game from the minds behind Danganronpa and the Zero Escape trilogy is nearly upon us, but I don’t know if there’s ever a way to be fully ready. I’m anticipating plenty of twists, turns, and surprises from World End’s Club once it arrives on Nintendo Switch. If you…
