Ghost of Tsushima is a decent game. It looks spectacular, it has rewarding combat that’s as simple or as complex as you want it to be, and it has that ‘just one more thing’ factor that pushed me towards the Platinum long after my interest had faded. However, it also features a bland protagonist, swirls […]
Disney Still Insists Black Widow Is Coming On May 7
It’s been a long time coming, but the much anticipated and delayed Black Widow film is still coming to theaters. During the latest Disney annual shareholder meeting, it was confirmed yet again that the May 7 release date is not going to change.

Why you should still give Google Stadia a try – Reader’s Feature
A reader who admits to having terrible luck buying failed consoles describes what he thinks is the future of Stadia and why you should care. Let me preface this with a confession. I’m a serial bad console buyer. I owned an N-Gage, I had OnLive, and now I am in the middle of a troublesome […]
Why Pokemon Stadium 2 Is Still The Hardest Pokemon Game (If You Don’t Use A Transfer Pak)
Ever since Gen V, Pokemon has grown to be notorious for having games that are extremely easy to beat. Given that Nintendo in general is more kid-focused, it’s not terribly surprising that this is the case for Pokemon—especially considering that it was marketed towards children upon its release in 1998. Given that there aren’t any […]
2K Is Still The Publisher Of Borderlands, Despite The Gearbox Acquisition
Embracer Group, the Swedish holding company that’s the parent of THQ Nordic, has just purchased Gearbox Entertainment for a cool $1.3 billion. Not exactly ZeniMax money, but not an insubstantial sum either. With Embracer now at the helm, you’d think that would mean the Borderlands franchise would fall to one of its many publishers in […]

Pokemon Emerald Is Still The Best Game In The Series For One Very Specific Reason

Red Dead Redemption 2 Is Still The Most Next-Gen Game I Have Ever Played
Red Dead Redemption 2 came out in 2018, two years before the launch of next-gen consoles. To this day, it is still the closest thing to a next-gen experience I have ever seen, despite being built for older, less powerful hardware. I think it’s the benchmark that engineers had in mind when implementing and iterating […]

With 2020 finally drawing to an end, it is nice to end this garbage-fire of a year with some truly “feel good” content. Some such content comes in a video on Reddit showing a streamer’s reaction to coming across a shiny Tyrunt in Pokemon Sword and Shield for what appears to be the first time! The […]
