Get ready for the video game battle of the century!Super Mario Bros. Wonderlaunched for Nintendo Switch on July 31, 2025, with the remake ofSuper Mario RPGhitting shelves just four weeks later. No other time period has simultaneously touched the hearts (and emptied the wallets) of Mario fans worldwide. With two phenomenal Mario games launching so close to each other, it begs the question: which is better? One is a legendary RPG that helped shape the genre into what it is today....

We’re just two days into 2024 and already gaming history is being made. A 13-year-old has beaten the original NESTetris, previously thought to be an impossible task, after 34 years. The assumption I always had was that Tetris goes on forever and ever until you finally run out of space. While that’s mostly true, as the game has no story, levels, or any form of progress beyond high scores and increasing speed, you ‘beat’ the game by crashing it, AKA reaching the “True Killscreen”....

Sometimes, you need a little boost. Items inSteamWorld Buildallow you to equip buildings and miner quarters with different perks that help your city run that bit smoother. Some items give you more resources, some items speed up important processes, and some items allow you to scorch subterranean enemies with a flamethrower. Every item in SteamWorld Build will benefit your city in some shape or form–but some are certainly more useful (or simply cooler) than others....

Mario games are not typically known for their hair-raising difficulty. Being aimed at general audiences and families who might be settling down with a controller for the first time ever, sadism and cruelty don’t tend to be on their agenda.Super Mario Wonderis no different; it’s a lightweight affair, with more helping hands available than a wiggler family reunion. Regardless, Nintendo always likes to tip its hand on occasion and deliver some unexpectedly grueling trials....

Baldur’s Gate 3has an unforgivably hard mode for you to venture through, Honour Mode, which mimics the most notorious part of D&D or any tabletop RPG game: if the whole party dies, it’s over. Most bosses were also altered with new mechanics, more powers, or extra muscle helping them out, making the game more difficult than Tactician Mode. You have one chance, so you have to powerbuild (optimize them for combat) your characters as much as possible....

We’re almost at the halfway point of the current Disney Lorcana season, which is the point when you would expect things to start getting a little stale.

If you’re playing weekly at your LGS, online using Pixelborn, or at any other local events, you’re probably getting a little sick of seeing the same decks over and over again....

What better way to spend the holidays than inTerraria, one of the best 2D sandbox games of all time?Terraria’s many eventsare a fun way to farm unique items, giving you a reason to come back to an existing world or start a new playthrough. If you’ve ever played during October, you likely came across numerous Goodie Bags dropped by enemies, and if you were exceptionally lucky, got the Bloody Machete or Bladed Glove....

Built properly, the KVD Enforcer can dominate Multiplayer lobbies in the hands of a skilled player, although it falls behind the MTZ Interceptor when used in Warzone. Fortunately, making a good build for the KVD Enforcer is fairly easy to do....

Summary In recent decades, superhero movies have been a blessing and a blight on cinema. The two titans of the genre,MarvelandDC, have both had soaring highs and fathomless lows and released movies ranging from best-of-the-year picks to some of the worst films ever produced. While superhero movies will always be synonymous with Marvel and DC, they are hardly the only filmmakers dipping their toes into the genre. Some of the most outstanding ‘superhero’ movies have nothing to do with either comic powerhouse....

Summary InPalworld, there is a lot of base management. As you capture new pals, you can check out what skills they have and decide if they will go to your party or stay back at your base. Your party essentially goes out exploring with you, while the pals at your base continue the machine-like operations that you need to have to gain more resources and run things smoothly. With that said, your base can also be attacked, so you will want strong but useful pals to spend time back at home....
