Put down the frog: There's no need to do anything rash.That'll apply to you, reader of a very specific age, if you were thinking of throwing out your old Webkinz—the toys-to-life plushie that was springing into browsers circa 2005—because the classic version of the game hasn't been playable on browsers in ages. Last week, Webkinz developer and toy company Ganz announced that the game is slated for a return to...
It sure looks like one of the biggest games of 2025 is one of the biggest games of 2006, as industry analyst Mat Piscatella says Oblivion Remastered is already the third-best-selling game of the year in the US.I maintain that Oblivion is the third or maybe fourth-best game in The Elder Scrolls series, and there is no force in the universe that will move me off that point (except, I...
The base-building, horde vaporizing Diplomacy is Not an Option left early access last year to a pretty warm reception by those who'd followed its development. In it you build up little medieval town-fortresses and use that economic engine to defend them from copious hordes of attacking fantasy invaders.You also vaporize the invaders with laser beam magic from the sky, if that's your thing.Now, to celebrate the release and success, developer...

As World of Warcraft preps for patch 11.1.7, Wowhead has spotted an interesting feature on the public test servers: a new spell in the general tab for all characters, called recuperate, that lets you light a little campfire, cook, and get your health (but not mana) back over 30 seconds. It costs you nothing.For me, someone who was playing World of Warcraft during beta back in 2004, this is a...
Are you stressed? I am a little stressed. Woo… things are a little stressful. But when life serves me a week where I feel like I’m on The Pitt, the last thing I personally want to do is vibe. Which means I rarely turn to cozy games for cozy comfort; in times of chaos, I require a challenge to offset the challenges of life. Most of the genre often feels...

Back in January of this year, a third-party accessory manufacturer was showing off a bunch of accessories for the forthcoming Switch 2 at CES 2025. The problem? No one had officially seen a Switch 2 in the wild. Despite plenty of leaks, Nintendo wouldn’t unveil the console until about a week after CES. Genki would later clarify that all of its designs were based on the leaked specifications of the...
