It’s been roughly 15 years since I last played Madden, about the same amount of time since I last played football in real life, actually. I played football for a big chunk of my youth, and even declined an opportunity to play junior college football to focus on my grades….
In a new interview posted by Bloomberg’s Jason Schreier today, the noted industry pundit had a chance to talk with Team Cherry ahead of the announcement of Hollow Knight: Silksong’s release date. As many have been wondering for the better part of a decade, why did Silksong take seven years…
Another Hisuian Pokémon is joining the Pokédex in Pokémon GO! This time it’s Hisuian Avalugg and it’s mimicking the debut of Hisuian Braviary. That’s right, it’s a Raid Day event. Thankfully, the Raid Day bonus staple of getting five additional free, in-person daily Raid Passes will be active. That means…
Pokémon GO’s Winter Holiday Part 2 event is still going strong, but for two days, Trainers can get a few extra bonuses. Coinciding with Hanukkah, Christmas Eve, and Christmas Day, Trainers can try their luck with getting Lucky Pokémon thanks to some new Lucky Trading rules. Plus, there will also…

Raid Battles made the jump from Pokémon’s Generation VIII (Sword and Shield) to Generation IX (Scarlet and Violet). While similar, the big difference this time around is the Terastal phenomenon, where a Pokémon’s type can change to one of the 18 different types available in-game. Not to mention, Pokémon will…

Ready to face the fury? Megaera from Hades is the latest to get the Nendoroid treatment, her stark features and harsh glare minimized to an endearing chibi form. (Don’t tell her I said that, though Zagreus would probably quip something worse.) She comes equipped with her whip, the Skull Earring…
