Why Final Fantasy 14 is just so hot right now
Final Fantasy 14 has been shattered before, but not by its own players. Droves of new and returning players are flooding the MMO’s servers, resulting in lengthy queue times and even a brief period where the digital version of the game went out of stock. This leap in popularity is both unprecedented and unexpected. It’s […]
After Just Releasing Its Open Beta, Magic Legends Is Shutting Down
Magic: Legends arrived on the Epic Games Store in March courtesy of an open beta test, and things got off to a rough start. Our own Eric Switzer took a peek back then, and he called Magic: Legends "too slow, too demanding, too unfocused, and perhaps even pay-to-win." Not exactly words you want associated with […]
Soul reaping is just a job in Death’s Door, but some crow’s gotta do it
The machinery of death works much like an office, with people hoping for big upcoming quarters and complaining about paperwork. The world of death is black, white, and weirdly relatable. Early on, I lose a soul I was sent to reap, which is a pretty big deal back at HQ. My crow is sent back […]

Necromunda: Hired Gun is just OK, but the setting still rules
I’m a sucker for the setting of Necromunda: Hired Gun. In the Warhammer 40,000 hive-world of Necromunda, gangs struggle for power, the rich wage war, and bounty hunters make names for themselves. Warhammer 40,000 has been a constant in my life since I was roughly fourteen years old. I first fell in love with Necromunda […]

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Just Received Its First Update In Over 2 Years
Mario Kart 8 Deluxe just received its first update in more than two years, but don’t go getting too excited about what it brings to the table. Four years on from its release on Nintendo Switch, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe isn’t the kind of game that gets a lot of updates. Even to begin with, […]
New G4 Isn’t Just About "Games Or Entertainment, It’s About Gamer Culture"
The new G4TV is prime to pick up where the old one left off, and it’s perfect content for today’s gaming scene. That’s what Brian Terwilliger, G4’s VP of Programming & Creative Strategy, believes. While the network’s 2021 revival is advertising the return of old favorites like Attack of the Show!, it will also bring new shows based […]
"Lifeline Was Just Boring" – Respawn Talks About Apex Legends’ Lifeline Tweaks
Lifeline’s abilities are due for an overhaul in Apex Legends Season 9: Legacy, and that’s because she was “just boring,” or at least that’s how Respawn Entertainment’s Daniel Klein felt about the fan-favourite character. Apex Legends’ ninth season launches on May 4, and brings with it a new Legend, Valkyrie, an Olympus overhaul, and a […]
