The line between an amazing video game name and a terrible one is nebulous. Some game names try so hard that they loop back around and become good, despite being objectively bad. Some game names are good only in that they use cool words, but the vibe screams, “I was created in a vat overseen by...

14.11.2022
Geoff Keighley just unveiled the categories and nominees for The Game Awards 2022. Like any other year, one of those categories is “Games for Impact.” I don’t have anything against the “impactful” games that were selected this year, like I Was a Teenage Exocolonist (which I reviewed favorably)....
