Back in the golden age of gaming, before hand-holding tutorials, online wikis and internet forums reigned supreme, beating games was hard work. Players were largely at the mercy of their own wits when it came to exploring the labyrinths of Zebes or unearthing each legendary piece of the Triforce. It…

Released last year for a variety of devices, the atmospheric and moody Darkest Dungeon was a hit with critics thanks to its mix of role playing and procedural exploration. Now, it looks like the game is heading to Switch, thanks to a pretty blatant tease from the developers at Red…
Well, this is a little unexpected. Nintendo of Europe has confirmed the region’s next Splatfest will ask players to choose between how they prefer their toilet roll positioning.

Bethesda Softworks in recent years seems to have one goal in mind above all else: port and re-release The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim as many times as possible on as many platforms as possible. Only Minecraft has been more prevalent in the gaming sphere. Which is why, upon Bethesda tweeting…
Teased last night on the Japanese Twitter account for ARMS, Biff mentioned that an update would be available for the game very soon and that it would include a “new” stage. Less than 24 hours later, the update is now live, along with the ability to duke it out in…
Mighty Gunvolt Burst was a pleasant surprise for me on Nintendo Switch. While it doesn’t reach the gameplay heights of the Azure Striker games (also available and incredible on Switch), it’s a serviceable retro inspired platformer with loads of customization options. I enjoyed it enough to play through it as…
Ah, Golf Story. A game that seemed to spring up out of nowhere earlier this year, yet somehow it instantly had us interested. The mixture of golfing and RPG isn’t new to gaming, but it’s definitely been a while since we’ve seen it offered in a game. More…
