Yesterday afternoon we witnessed a devastating loss to the video games industry. In another round of layoffs that seems to happen every week, WB Games announced it would be closing three studios. These were Player First Games (Multiversus), WB San Diego (which had not yet announced its game), and Monolith…
Raid Hour (also referred to as Legendary Raid Hour) started as an experiment in March 2019. Initially called Legendary Lunch Hour, Niantic set aside an hour on Wednesdays for Pokémon GO Trainers to find 5-Star (Legendary) Raids easier by increasing the appearance rates. After further testing, Raid Hour was renamed…
It’s very bizarre to hear executives from Microsoft talking about the Nintendo Switch 2, but ever since the company’s pivot to multi-platform development took hold, we’ve been hearing more and more from Team Green about games on other platforms. During the Official Xbox Podcast yesterday, Xbox Games Studio head Craig…
It’s easy to call Team Sonic Racing just another kart racer starring the blue hedgehog, and for some people that might be enough. But thanks to the “Team” in the title there’re a host of other features and possibilities that warrants just a bit more attention and explanation. Thankfully, Sega’s…
Time to stock up on ammo and ready your tank, a Valkyria Chronicles 4 demo is now available in the Nintendo Switch eShop. By downloading and playing through the game’s prologue and first two chapters and a demo-exclusive mission, you’ll gain access to a unique accessory for the main game….
Monopoly and Mario Party are some of the most frustratingly fun games I’ve ever had the (dis)pleasure of playing. To this day my family can’t finish a round of either without rage quits, hissyfits, and idle threats to the winner’s physical and mental wellbeing. To an outsider we look crazy,…
Ever since its reveal earlier this year I’ve been waiting and waiting to dive back into The World Ends With You on my Switch. With Japan’s release in about a month it was only a matter of time until we got news of the game making its way to the…
Nothing about Eevee says Last Resort to me. This cutie’s been one of the most popular Pokemon for years, to the point of headlining a big title this fall. But when it comes to Normal power and showing what it’s got, there’s no better move for this little guy. …

This one’s just dangerous by existing. 【きょうのアイテム】ボンバーＡボタンを押すとボンバーを掲げ、1.5秒後ぐらいで大爆発を起こします。爆発の中心から離れると威力が下がるため、近くで爆発に巻き込まれそうになった場合でも、あきらめずに距離を取るのをオススメします。#スマブラSP pic.twitter.com/2sdwYAH3Ts — 大乱闘スマッシュブラザーズ【スマブラ公式】 (@SmashBrosJP) August 7, 2018 Meet Bomber, a familiar Kirby enemy known for strolling around on…
I’ve been having a lot of fun with Sonic Mania Plus since its release, giving me an excuse to run through one of my favorite games from last year all over again. That blue hedgehog’s been on a roll when it comes to the old school throwbacks, and to keep…
If you’re ready to yell at your friends for standing in the way of picking up some produce, it’s time to grab Overcooked 2. This kitchen calamity that’s all about time and body management is some gourmet fun gone absurd, and if it’s just as fun as the first installment…
Almost everyone likes chocolate — and if you don’t, then leave. Go on. I’ll wait. Splatoon 2 knows what’s up, setting the stage for a sweet new sweet debate. Unlike the classic cake and ice cream scuffle of 2017 (where cake was robbed and all your precious ice cream has…
The only thing more Legendary than the Zelda series itself is just how much it invites discussion, debate, and borderline academic research. It took years and years before we had any kind of official breakdown of how the series progresses from game to game, with only hints and direct sequels…
Are you a fan of 3DS JRPGs and/or hefty displays of art you can flaunt at high-society parties? Well, you’re in luck, because Dark Horse Books is publishing The Art of Bravely Default in the West, according to an Amazon listing. The book contains 256 pages of concept art and…
