Editor’s Note: Today, September 27th, would have marked the 6th anniversary of Dragalia Lost. To celebrate, we are re-publishing a piece we created for its 5th anniversary. Enjoy, and thank you, Mr. Lost! With the recent announcement that Mario Kart Tour will no longer be getting new content, I’ve been…
Back in the ’90s, Nintendo, Sega, and Sony were locked in what is now commonly referred to as “The Console Wars”—a fierce rivalry between gaming giants that played out through advertisements, lawsuits, and even, in one instance, a public feud in front of Congress over video game violence.

Hades continues to be my current Switch obsession, and while I’ve had no issues diving (or ascending?) through Supergiant Games’ Greek underworld rouge-like, some players have reported issues with their save files. Unfortunately, in some cases, it was previously possible to not have your file load. Thankfully though a patch…
“If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.” So goes one of the most well-known aphorisms in the English language, and one that the developers at Moon Studios appear to have taken to heart, because their luscious follow-up to the beautiful Ori and the Blind Forest, a painterly Metroidvania with an…
Resident Evil Village got lots of attention during this past weekend’s Tokyo Game Show, but for those not planning on indulging on a PlayStation 5 and/or an Xbox Series X anytime soon, Capcom had some more exciting news for fans of the horror series. Resident Evil: Infinite Darkness is a…
Mario Kart Tour likely saw a whole slew of new racers this last month thanks to being part of the Super Mario 35th Anniversary celebration. I hadn’t played since launch myself, but dammit, I wanted pins. Yet here we are pulling up into October and it’s the mobile game’s turn…
