There are many Mario Kart tracks. But one of them, Piranha Plant Pipeline, is only available in Nintendo’s mobile phone game Mario Kart Tour. However, it’s only ever made playable for a limited time. This makes it arguably the rarest and hardest-to-play Mario Kart track in the franchise. And this rare track is…
It’s taken a couple of weeks for the full extent of KPop Demon Hunters to enter my field of view. For a while, all I’d seen of the Netflix animated phenomenon was the extremely…uh, exuberant early scene of its main cast of KPop idols getting real excited about their dinner, and the gifs from it being used in some…
Destiny 2's next expansion, The Edge of Fate, goes live later this month. It will provide the foundation for the struggling live-service shooter for the foreseeable future, and Bungie is making everything currently in the game free for all players on every platform. It’s a pitch to get lapsed fans back into the fold…
It’s official: Iron Man loves Ironheart. While we didn’t get a crossover with the two heroes in the first season of the Disney+ limited series, we did recently get a nearly 14-minute conversation between Robert Downey Jr. and the show’s star, Dominique Thorne, in which the former gushed over how the show’s first…
If you’re like me, you might have booted up Mario Kart World and immediately started spamming Charge Jumps as soon as you learned how to do them. After all, they seem like a Drift that lets you keep moving straight, and Drifts are awesome! Charge Jumps generate Mini-Turbos just like drifting does too, and Mario Kart…
Did you know there are currently 74 playable operators (75 if you count Recruit) available in Rainbow Six Siege X? Back when I used to play daily on PS4, there were, like, twelve. It was manageable. Nowadays? Not so much. How is a new player supposed to sift through thIS broad assortment of characters, find one that…
PlayStation Plus just got a big boost: Cyberpunk 2077 is joining Sony’s subscription service and will be free for all paying members to play starting today, July 9. It feels like the 2020 sci-fi RPG is on its fourth or fifth wind right now, with new content on the way, a great Switch 2 port, and more Edgerunners in…
Lies of P impressed us in 2023 with its fun and innovative weapon assembly system, which resulted in some of the most bizarre weapon creations in the Soulslike genre. With Lies of P: Overture, the game’s first and only major DLC, that trend continues with even weirder weapons than ever before. However, not every…
The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered, one of 2025's biggest games, is getting a significant new update that is set to improve the game’s performance, fix a ton of bugs, and add more difficulty options, too.
I love when things start going off the rails in an MMO, and while Dune: Awakening’s ongoing Deep Desert troubles are frustrating for fans, they’re also a fascinating experiment in balancing competing player incentives. Developer Funcom recently nerfed the endgame area’s PVP potential, turning almost half of it into…
Star Wars Battlefront 2, released in 2017, sparked controversy at launch due to its use of loot boxes and allegations of a pay-to-win system. But that hasn’t stopped the aging shooter from becoming one of the biggest games this Summer.
On Tuesday July 8, X (néeTwitter) was forced to switch off the social media platform’s in-built AI, Grok, after it declared itself to be a robot version of Hitler, spewing antisemitic hate and racist conspiracy theories. This followed X owner Elon Musk’s declaration over the weekend that he was insisting Grok be less…
The only thing Wednesday Addams (Jenna Ortega) probably detests more than attention is bright colors. She’s about to be flooded with both in the new season of Wednesday. In the second season’s first official trailer, the reluctant hero of Nevermore Academy returns as a reluctant celebrity, battling her newfound…
Persona 5: The Phantom X has been out in the West for only a week and a half, but in China, the gacha game has been out for over a year. As a result, most of the world is far behind the Chinese audience on story and character updates. Rather than letting most players lag behind, Atlus and developer Black Wings Game…
Call Of Duty: WW2 joined Game Pass on June 30, including for PC subscribers who could now access the game through the Microsoft Store. Days later, that version of the game had to be taken offline amid reports of players getting hacked and trolled with pop up messages on their PC, which seems very, very bad. Players…
Stalker 2 originally launched last November just in time for long-standing post-apocalyptic survival sickos to feast on its eerie, emergent sandbox, and for most other people to bounce off its buggy gameplay in favor of Indiana Jones and the Great Circle or their massive backlogs. It’s getting a second chance to…
Live-service game development has become the ultimate gamble for any publisher. If you get a hit, you’re set—money will pour in for as long as you can surf the wave. If you miss, countless millions are lost forever. Most of them miss. The latest game to spectacularly fail to be a long-running cash cow is Steel Hunters,…
After nearly three years of fan theories, trailer breakdowns, and unjustified hate, James Gunn’s Superman film is almost here. While the general public will get to gander at the latest attempt at telling Clark Kent’s story on July 11, film critics and content creators have already shared their opinions. The verdict: a…
If, like me, you’ve noticed an uptick in anime girls with horse ears running around your social media timeline, you might be confused as to what the hell is going on. The game causing all this commotion, my friends, is Umamusume: Pretty Derby, a gacha game that has finally made its way to the West after originally…
Mario Kart World is overflowing with charm and whimsy, thanks to its colorful tracks and adorable cast of characters.
