Phoenix is in Marvel Rivals, which means I might finally put Overwatch 2 on the shelf for a bit and get back into NetEase’s hero shooter game. Not out of some deep admiration for Phoenix, mind you. The only things I know about her are what I gleaned from Wikipedia after NetEase announced her for Marvel Rivals season 3 and one important fact from her character trailer: She actually moves...
As the shroom-hopping race begins, the starter's pistol backfires, delivering a bullet straight through his foot. He hoots and curses, and the racers stall in the blocks, waiting for confirmation that the contest has really begun. I take the opportunity to grab an early lead, sprinting ahead into a field of oversized fungi. "It was a public service," Fallen London's silent narrator assures me. "One official's podiatric misfortune can't be...
LEGO has released some amazing video game collaborations in the past, from Nintendo to Horizon: Zero Dawn, but fans are already making the one I want to see next: Monster Hunter.The release of Monster Hunter Wilds earlier this year is inspiring some crafty LEGO fans to bring the game's monsters and weapons to life. User StillAd9325 shared some small, but impressive examples on the Monster Hunter subreddit last week with...
All due respect to developer Rare — I really enjoyed my time with Diddy Kong Racing, team! — I’m choosing to willfully ignore almost the entirety of its work on the Donkey Kong franchise, because there’s a bunch of very confusing ape lore I’d prefer not to think about while I play Donkey Kong Bananza next week. And, yeah, Candy Kong is a big part of that. I never want to...

Now seven years in the making, GTA 1991 is gunning for...
Superman is the most powerful superhero in DC Comics, able to go toe to toe with its most powerful villains, like Darkseid and Brainiac. That’s why it’s surprising that his nemesis is Lex Luthor, a man without any superpowers. The best versions of Luthor across comics, television, and movies make him a threat precisely because of that disparity. He fights Superman with wealth and connections rather than with fists or...
It's a sad truth of this industry that some games simply get lost to time. Servers get shut down, listings get removed from storefronts, and releases we were once excited for get forgotten. That's if they even made it to launch in the first place.So, this is a quiz, but it's also a bit of a memorial. Let's test how short our memories truly are. All you have to do...
Fair play to Norland's developer Long Jaunt, it doesn't do patches by halves. Back in March, the medieval colony sim's "damn big update" overhauled several of its most fundamental systems, stripping out character needs, reworking crime and punishment, and radically changing how your colony's horny lords give orders to peasants. Now, Long Jaunt is rolling out an even bigger patch that leaves virtually no part of the game untouched.Appropriately named...
I’ve played 500 hours of Elden Ring. I’ve beaten every boss, explored every invisible door, collected every rare armament. If I had to pick one favorite, generation-defining game above all others it would definitely be the base game and its Shadow of the Erdtree expansion. But 160 hours into Nightreign, FromSoftware’s multiplayer spinoff that launched at the end of May, I know that there’s no way I could ever go...
