Last week, Nintendo revealed a ton of information about the Switch 2. And while there were some surprises — like a bizarrely destructive Donkey Kong game — the real shock was that of the sticker variety. The prices of both the Switch 2 console ($449.99) and its games (as much as $79.99 for Mario Kart World) indicated that Nintendo’s next generation would not come cheaply. To get a better understanding...

Before the disaster that was Stadia, Google demoed its game streaming tech via a free version of Assassin's Creed: Odyssey you could play in your browser. My fiancée has fond memories of whiling away slow nights at work playing this massive triple-A game on a crummy library OptiPlex.Whatever came after with Stadia and game streaming in general, that demo felt like black magic. If a genuinely impressive tech demo can...

Speaking to Nightdive founder Stephen Kick and VP of business development Larry Kuperman at this year's Game Developers Conference, I was curious about how it felt to be returning to System Shock 2 for the studio's upcoming remaster.

Sega had come and gone; Sony, after two determined attempts with the PlayStation Portable and PlayStation Vita, had just about given up.

Yes, it’s side-splittingly funny. Yes, its “failchildren of a crumbling empire” narrative is surprisingly relevant. Yes, there is a core of sincerity at the center of the madness.
