I get headaches. These changes mean some games I used to love are completely inaccessible for me. I have so much respect for development studios and publishers who put…

Gameloft and Disney seem to have found a groove: release free-to-play games in paid Early Access. I mean, why not? Disney Dreamlight Valley sold like hotcakes when it was first launched the same way, and months later is still finding new players while in paid Early Access (in part due…

Loop8: Summer of Gods is a narrative-driven, time-traveling RPG that I’ve had my eye on since its Japanese announcement and expected 2022 launch date; it was later announced for a western release, though no date was attached. Until now! It’s set to be released this June, but the Japanese launch…

What can I say about GoldenEye 007? It’s more than a cult classic – a cult obsession maybe? Either way, since it was released in 1997 it’s been a beloved game for literally millions of people. Back in September, it was announced that the game would be coming to Nintendo…
