I am prepared to break my own rules and impulse buy the Oddworld bundle that has just popped up on Fanatical. It includes every single Oddworld game—a series of lavishly animated 2D puzzle platformers starring a weird-looking green guy—for just one dollar, a price that compares extremely favourably to its usual $84.92.That dollar gets you six games (though one of them, New 'n' Tasty, is a remake of another, Abe's...
More than two weeks after launch, Schedule 1 is still the top-selling paid Steam game. That means that the open world drug-dealing RPG is raking in more dough than Assassin's Creed Shadows on Steam, which released only five days earlier.

No stupid questions: If Nintendo wanted to avoid any hefty tariffs imposed by President Donald Trump, how quickly could it move Switch 2 production to the U.S.? Trump has done a partial walkback on the tariffs already, but let’s get hypothetical here.

Blue Prince releases on April 10, and will immediately be available on Xbox Game Pass, Microsoft announced last week. The PlayStation Blog announced today that it will be available the same day on PlayStation Plus, as well. Between a nomination for “Best Gameplay” at Gamescom 2024 and a more recent deluge of positive reviews, the puzzle game — whose name I just recently realized is a play on “blueprints” —...
