Ranking Blizzard’s Proposed Overwatch 2 Collabs By How Much I Do Or Don't Want Them
29.7.2025
Overwatch 2 loves a collaboration. Blizzard has spent more time dressing up its heroes like characters from other worlds than nurturing its own lore, and that means fans can expect more themed skins in the future. If there’s one thing Overwatch fans can count on, it’s that Blizzard will find a...
Call Of Duty Finally Admits What We've Been Saying All Along: The Install Size Is Too Damn High
29.7.2025
In theory, an all-in-one launcher to manage a massive franchise like Call of Duty probably makes sense. When you have multiple campaigns, multiplayer modes, and regular updates to live-service games like Warzone to manage, sure, you could convince me that a one-stop shop where I can find...

Don't Like Your New Armor In Wuchang? Transmog It!
29.7.2025
One thing almost every soulslike fan can agree on is that fashion is often more important to us than stats. It’s true! Most of us will rock some pretty terrible armor as long as we look cool doing it. But that’s why it’s so awesome when a game offers transmog with no downsides, letting us wear...

Watch A Beyblade Perform A Smash Bros.-Style Save After Getting Knocked Out Of The Ring
29.7.2025
This week, a video of a Beyblade match came across my Twitter timeline that was so sick, it made me think that maybe the anime from the early 2000s that dramatized the spinning tops wasn’t as exaggerated as I once believed. When you think about it, there’s drama to pitting two spinning tops against...

How much grease and salt can you stand on your video game controllers? Everyone who’s ever played a video game has, at some point, eaten while gaming, and usually it requires you to either put a controller down or hold it in one hand while quickly horking something down between respawns. Well,...

There's Finally A Nintendo Game That Uses The Switch 2's Mouse Controls, And It's 33 Years Old
29.7.2025
During the marketing for the Switch 2, one of the most talked about aspects (perhaps because there was so little else to talk about) was the potential that the new Joy-Con 2s could be used as mice. Post-launch, there’s been almost no reason to bother. It hasn’t featured as a necessary control...

Donkey Kong Bananza's Ending Is Phenomenal
28.7.2025
Endings can do a lot to color how we remember something. The right song just as the credits roll can help an unwieldy story click into place (Star Ocean: Second Story). Dozens of hours spent pleasantly trekking through a satisfying adventure can be soured in the final moments thanks to a terrible...
