Sony celebrated the 30th anniversary of PlayStation with PS1-style special edition consoles and accessories that looked great and almost nobody could get. Everything sold out almost immediately, leaving some fans wondering why the company was depriving itself of the opportunity to sell stuff to its most loyal customers
Today, July 14, I bought Magic: The Gathering cards for the very first time. Wizards of the Coast and Sega’s new Sonic collaboration set went up for pre-order on Magic’s “Secret Lair” site and it seems like, somehow, I may have cut the line. My brother was also in the queue and was willing to ship me the cards I…
A card shop in Massachusetts was robbed last week by a single burglar who used a hammer to smash their way into the place and leave with over $100,000 worth of rare Pokémon cards and packs.
Look, I don’t condone cheating on your significant other or swindling folks out of money. But as long as you’re not online hurting someone else’s gameplay experience, I say cheating in a video game ain’t so bad. Life’s short, after all. And for those diving into the Nintendo Switch 2's hybrid puzzler Puyo Puyo Tetris…
Mario Kart World’s open world is filled with fun activities to find and do, including driving over question mark panels scattered around each track. These can be a lot of fun to track down, and they’ll reward you with stickers for finding them, so completionists won’t want to skip them.
2017’s Star Wars: The Last Jedi made a lot of money and reviewed very well. But it also created a firestorm online, one which still rages to this day, over some of its choices. So when The Rise of Skywalker came out and seemingly reversed some of The Last Jedi’s creative decisions, it was a whole new mess. However, Las…
Mario Kart World’s free-roam feature has plenty to do, but finding the question mark panels located around each track is one that stands out the most. These are fun to find and they’ll even reward you with stickers, so you won’t want to miss them if you’re aiming to fully complete the game. And if you’re stuck on…
The Switch 2 has been out for over a month. Hype levels are starting to run dangerously low. While Donkey Kong Bananza is shaping up to be a big shot in the console’s launch window arm later this week, the rest of the Switch 2's first year is filled with question marks right now. Fans desperate for new shiny objects…
Developer Iron Galaxy is “investigating” an Easter egg fans spotted involving a trash can and a Guitar Hero clone in the recently released Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4.
James Gunn’s Superman has officially had the best opening weekend of the Man of Steel’s film career, and with millions of people seeing David Corenswet don the red cape, there’s a lot of debate surrounding the movie. Are DC Comics movies back after floundering for a decade? Can you kickstart a new shared cinematic…
The era of Pokémon Scarlet & Violet is about to draw to a close. While the mainline video game series may have broken from its traditional three-year cycle, the trading card game has not, and the run of Gen-IX-led packs comes to an end with this month’s release of Black Bolt and White Flare. Oddly, it’s a celebration…
The new Superman movie has two post-credits sequences. The first shows Superman and Krypto sitting on the moon looking down at Earth. The second is a goof between Superman and Mister Terrific about trying to patch up Metropolis after the third-act catastrophe. There are no surprising reveals. No teases for new…
The mysterious firing of Subnautica 2 studio Unknown Worlds’ founders earlier this month keeps taking unexpected turns, and the latest is that the veteran game developers are now suing publisher Krafton over the dismissals, which occurred with a $250 million payout on the line. Caught in the apparent crossfire is the…
James Gunn’s reboot of the DC Cinematic Universe is off to an appropriately flying start. Superman has had a stellar opening weekend, hitting $122 million in the U.S. alone, making it the third-biggest box office launch of the year.
Nintendo’s move into movies has certainly been a cautious one. So far, it’s amounted to a single released film, 2023's astoundingly successfulThe Super Mario Bros. Movie. Where some would have then rushed to ride that success, pumping out releases based on its vast range of characters, Nintendo is taking a calmer…
After yet another week of just the most ridiculous temperatures and humidity levels (particularly here in New York City), we arrive at, well, probably another two days of ridiculous temperatures. But who knows? Right now there’s a nice breeze drifting in; it says 80 on my phone, a full 15 degrees cooler than some…
Since the first Jurassic Park movie, we’ve received many video games inspired by the original film and its sequels. Most were bad. Some were fine. And a few were really good. And the best of them all, the excellent dinosaur park builder Jurassic World Evolution 2, is only $3 on Steam right now.
Before Too Kyo Games released The Hundred Line: Last Defense Academy, the tactical RPG/visual novel hybrid that is, in my opinion, secretly one of the dark horses for 2025 Game of the Year, co-creative director Kazutaka Kodaka had been pretty candid in saying that the studio needed the game to be successful, lest it…
Mario Kart World may boast a bunch of character costumes to race around in or explore the free roam mode with, but it does forgo the vehicle customization from the previous game. Thankfully, some vehicles still have different color variations depending on who’s driving. Let’s break down every kart color available in Ma…
2020’s Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1+2 didn’t include a photo mode. Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4 fixes this mistake and includes the popular option, and as you’d expect, it’s great for taking photos of your skater doing cool stuff. But it’s also a very powerful tool that you should use to find goals, collectibles, and new…
