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…
Fighting game adaptations are some of the campiest, most absurd films in the already generally pretty absurd game-to-movie oeuvre. Films like the Mortal Kombat series, Dead or Alive, and the 1994 Street Fighter all possess a kind of so-bad-they’re-good ridiculousness that has made them cult classic guilty pleasures.…
Steam’s annual and massive summer sale is live! If you’ve been waiting to buy a copy of Schedule I, RoboCop: Rogue City, Borderlands 3, Anno 1800, Metro Exodus, or Dead By Daylight, this sale is for you. And if you wanted some other games instead, well, odds are they are on sale as well. It’s a pretty big sale.
The first time I heard RuPaul’s voice introduce the Tiny Chef cooking show, starring a Gumbi-like green fur-ball that slobbers over his words like a St. Bernard chewing baseballs, I knew it was going to be something special. Less than three years and 41 episodes later it’s been unexpectedly canceled by Nickelodeon,…
There are hundreds of equipment materials to gather in Monster Hunter Wilds, all of which can be used towards forging new armor and weapons. Whether you need a common ore or a unique item, it can be tough to keep track of everything. The best way to mitigate that issue is by using the Wishlist.
My friends and I spent 10 hours dying to last week’s Everdark Sovereign overhaul of the Gaping Jaw before finally killing the lightning bird late one night, long past the point when we should have all gone to bed. Now Elden Ring Nightreign is back with a new boss for players to take on, but thankfully this one is a…
At the beginning of every run in Monster Train 2, you have to choose the two best clans to take with you. But with such a wide variety of them, and the ability to mix and match, it’s hard to decide on which ones to bring with you. For our money, these two are the best clans to bring with you on your journey to heaven.
The post-Super-Earth invasion reprieve for Helldivers 2 players appears to be over as a new threat emerges: jetpack Hulks. A new Major Order contained a stealth update to the heavily armored Automatons that makes them more lethal than ever. Players aren’t sure whether to cheer or cry. Mostly they’re pointing…
For several decades, Pixar was the king of animated filmmaking. Its run from the ‘90s to the mid-2010s was marked by the kind of dazzling creative output that makes you believe art isn’t dead and was so inspiring, it no doubt made many consider pivoting careers into animation. The decade that’s followed has been…
Everyone’s favorite blue, furry alien is coming back for more shenanigans in Hawaii. Lilo and Stitch 2 is officially in the works at Disney.
In the last couple of weeks, Adventure Gamers—a beloved game site dedicated to point-and-click adventure gaming since 1998—has become a cruel pastiche of its former self. The site, primarily run by volunteers and enthusiasts, has fought for the much-maligned adventure gaming genre through thick and thin for almost…
Bundled in with the likes of The Shivering Isles and the Fighters’ Stronghold, Knights of the Nine is an expansion featuring a Cyrodiil-spanning questline following an order of heavenly knights. Though it’s somewhat short, as a quest it’s heavy on walking. Seriously, if you don’t use any fast-travel points across the…
Just like its predecessors, Monster Hunter Wilds is supported by huge updates, seasonal events, and collaborations with other franchises. The first series to crossover into the Forbidden Lands is Capcom’s own Street Fighter 6. In addition to being able to dress your hunter up as the Raging Demon-user Akuma, more…
Mario Kart World’s big open map is one of the major things that sets it apart from the rest of the franchise, but it’s also become a real drag for fans who just want to have traditional three-lap races around their favorite tracks online. A workaround was soon discovered, a sneaky way that let people always guarantee…
I’ve played over 12 hours of MindsEye, the new semi-open-world action game from former longtime Grand Theft Auto producer Leslie Benzies. I finished it. I reached its terrible ending after pushing through countless bugs, horrible performance issues, and so many boring phone calls. And yet, after all that, if you were…
Fifteen years after Jesse Eisenberg made Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg look like the socially awkward tech genius he is in director David Fincher’s The Social Network, the film’s writer, Aaron Sorkin, is back at it again. Deadline reports that Sorkin will write and direct The Social Network Part II, a follow-up to…
