This week, an official X-Files Lego set was revealed, the Xbox 360 got an update almost 20 years after its release, and players thrashed the latest Elden Ring Nightreign boss with the help of an overpowered relic. Also, Steam’s big summer sale arrived with some incredible deals, and Mario Kart 64 got a very impressive…
Wow. Where did June go? Well, it’s nearly over. Still, happy Pride to all of my comrades in the acronym. It sucks out there right now for us for sure. Perhaps you find yourself with a heavy and worried heart at the end of this historic month? I know I do.
Hideo Kojima’s highly anticipated sequel to 2019’s Death Stranding, Death Stranding 2: On the Beach, is out now.

If you’re like me and haven’t played the original Mass Effect trilogy in some time, then boy do I have some good news for you if you have the game on PC or are thinking of grabbing a copy on Steam. A pair of wildly impressive mods for the Legendary Edition remaster of everyone’s favorite Xbox 360-era space opera…
Ever since we learned the Switch 2 would have an LCD screen instead of a fancier OLED panel, discourse around Nintendo’s latest console has often turned sour when it comes to its display. Of course, once folks were able to get the new hardware in their hands, the Switch 2 revealed itself to be packing an impressively…
After three seasons and a little under four years of making us question what we would do for millions of dollars, Squid Game has come to an end. The final season debuted earlier today, and in a disturbing way I’ll address with my therapist in the future, I want more of those twisted mind games. And I know a lot of you…
Death Stranding 2: One the Beach is a single-player affair, but it has some online elements that let you interact with other players, albeit not directly. This comes in the form of the Chiral Network, the universe’s in-game explanation of connecting the world, as well as different multiverses.
It’s been roughly five months since Monster Hunter Wilds launched and things are rougher than ever on PC. The loot-based boss rush adventure never ran particularly great there but managed to break franchise records on Steam despite the terrible user reviews. But issues have persisted, and alongside complaints about an…
You hear that? The heavy thudding sound of someone running for their lives? Running around at the speed of sound, perhaps? Maybe this person, sprinting as far as their body can carry them, has places to go and has to follow his rainbow? That person is me, running as far away from Magic: The Gathering’s latest…
Who wants to deal with a ghost? Raise your hand! No, we’re not talking about Casper or Patrick Swayze, but rather the Forlorn Watchman in Oblivion Remastered. How ominous. They say there’s a ghost walking the Niben Bay beneath the moonlight, and if you’re willing to help this undying entity pass on into the next…
In Death Stranding 2: On the Beach, you’ll be connecting all of Australia to the Chiral Network. Along the way, you’ll find a few optional facilities. One of them belongs to someone called the Ghost Hunter. If you come across this one early, you won’t be able to do anything until you reach the Chronobiologist as part…
In Death Stranding 2, Sam is tasked with delivering cargo and connecting all of Australia together, just like he did in the first game with the United Cities of America. During one of Sam’s missions, he’ll have to go to a facility called Motherhood, but he needs a passcode to get in.
Untitled Paper RPG has been floating around for years now. Adam Robinson-Yu, who developed the critically-acclaimed exploration walking sim A Short Hike, started the project shortly after Paper Mario Color Splash was announced for the Wii U. Robinson-Yu wanted to make a turn-based tribute that stayed a bit more true…
Less than 24 hours ago, we ran a story on the bonkers cast for the upcoming live-action Street Fighter movie. It’s full of the weirdest motley crew of actors I’ve seen in a big-budget film as of late, with rapper 50 Cent, masked country singer Orville Peck, and Mr. Minecraft himself, Jason Momoa, all set to star. It…
Crafting is one of the marquee features of the latest World of Warcraft. It isn’t a quick or easy process, but players in War Within can make weapons that, at their top end, are on par with the best gear in the game. Here’s a step-by-step guide to crafting the most powerful weapons in season two of World of Warcraft:…
Save for Stone Cold Steve Austin and The Rock, no two wrestlers bring out the best in each other quite like John Cena and CM Punk.
Anime North is an annual event in Toronto, Canada, that celebrates much of Japanese art, television, manga, music and games. This year, the intrepid team at Mineralblu were there to snap some of the best cosplay on display at the convention.
Just under a month since it launched, the Switch 2 is getting its first new GameCube game as part of its Switch Online + Expansion Pack library. Is it Luigi’s Mansion? Super Mario Sunshine?? Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance??? No, it’s Super Mario Strikers, the inaugural entry in Nintendo’s soccer franchise, arriving…
Capcom’s Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess was one of the couple dozen games that hit the Nintendo Switch 2 when it launched. At first glance, Path of the Goddess can be a little confusing. This bold genre mashup of action and tower defense synergizes way better than you might think. It’s a unique experience,…
Pre-ordering a Switch 2 was a horrible, terrible experience. And on top of all the bullshit involved in just securing one in the first place, if you were able to snag one through Target, you might not have gotten your Switch until a few days after it launched on June 5. To make up for these late deliveries, Target is…
