The Unmatched board game series is a smash hit, allowing players to put pop culture icons like Bruce Lee up against mythical heroes like Achilles and Sun Wukong. The franchise’s latest stand-alone expansion, Unmatched: Hell’s Kitchen, explores the grittier side of the Marvel universe — and it may be one of its best releases yet. […]
Who Let eFootball Into The 2022 Commonwealth Games?
I’m not quite sure why everyone thought Konami’s eFootball was going to be a ‘FIFA killer’. Perhaps players were just jaded with year after year of surprise mechanics and annoying updates in the EA title. Perhaps people were hoping for a return to the PES of their childhood, rather than the disappointing titles the series […]
The Owl House Season 2B: All The New Screenshots, Episode Titles, And What To Expect
We’ve got less than a week until The Owl House returns with the premiere of season two’s second half. Fair warning: I will be an insufferable gay disaster for the next several weeks as new episodes drop and narrative revelations emerge. My colleagues love me. [Editor’s Note: No]. I’m crossing my fingers for plenty of […]
Turning Red’s Period Scene Is A Groundbreaking Moment For Animation
Pixar’s Turning Red is bursting with youthful energy, fresh ideas, and a wondrous central narrative about family and acceptance that hits harder than anyone could have expected. It rules, and feels like the start of something new from the animation studio as a storyteller. We need more films like this, partly because it’s so real. […]
Ghostwire Tokyo Preview: It’s Basically Weeaboo Crackdown
Tango Gameworks is keen for Ghostwire Tokyo to abandon the survival horror label the studio has held for so long. The Evil Within and its sequel were clear homages to the likes of Resident Evil and Silent Hill, while this spooky foray into Japan’s capital is unlike anything I’ve ever played before with a nuanced […]
Is Trials Of Orisiris Even Worth It Anymore?
Destiny 2’s pinnacle PvP activity Trials of Osiris returned this weekend for the first time since the launch of The Witch Queen. While it’s been updated for the new weapon system, the rewards don’t quite match what players can earn from other pinnacle activities, namely, the Vow of the Disciple Raid and weapon crafting. The […]
Submerged: Hidden Depths – An Exploration Game With Heart
Stepping into an unfamiliar world to explore and figure things out for yourself, free to slowly uncover the story in teasingly small doses with little to no direction is not something many games do these days. I have fond memories of playing Myst and Riven as a kid and having absolutely no clue what I […]
It Shouldn’t Be This Hard to Make a Final Fantasy Racer
Square Enix, baby, what are you doing? First you announce that you’re into NFTs, and then you kind of shit on your own Guardians of the Galaxy game, despite it being one of the most beloved releases of last year. And now this. Chocobo GP. Making a Final Fantasy racing game shouldn’t be this fucking […]
WWE 2K22’s MyGM Is Incredibly Basic, So Why Can’t I Stop Playing It?
WWE 2K22 is finally here. A more-than-two-year wait for a new game in the series after WWE 2K20 was met with such a negative reaction, the studio promptly canceled WWE 2K21 and gave itself twice as long to make a new game and hopefully save the series. Long story short, WWE 2K probably has been […]
The Brendan Fraser Redemption Arc We’ve Been Waiting For Is Finally Here
On the internet we have a habit of lifting up certain celebrities. Keanu Reeves is beloved for his unrelenting kindness, Paul Rudd is admired for his ageless beauty, while Brendan Fraser has become a symbol of wholesomeness in a world seemingly devoid of it. A generation of people who saw him in The Mummy trilogy […]
