Quick Links Super Mario Bros. Wonderintroduces many new concepts to the franchise, from new enemies to new systems like badges. No less among them is the new Kingdom, apparently neighboring the hometown of Peach and company. The Flower Kingdom is as expansive, if not more so, than what we know the Mushroom Kingdom to be. That does beg the question, which Kingdom is stronger? Clearly, they’ll never engage in military conflict (unless we get a Mario + Fire Emblem crossover, which sounds amazing), but it’s hard not to compare....

Indiana Jones and the Great Circleis one of the more original blockbuster games I’ve seen emerge in the past few years. That’s a funny thing to admit, given it is based on one of the biggest media properties of all time and will no doubt trade on familiarity and nostalgia with its grand adventure. But I’m okay with that, because everything we’ve seen from theMachineGames’ effort points to a fun, nuanced take on Harrison Ford’s hero with a willingness to experiment with an otherwise sacred formula....

Palworldhas completely exploded in popularity over the past few days, becoming one of Steam’s most played games and overtaking the likes of 2023 behemoths such asStarfieldandBaldur’s Gate 3. Not only did it manage to amassa whopping 200,000 players just a few hours after its early access release, but it recently announced it already has over one million players across all platforms. That’s a lot of attention, probably a lot more than developer Pocketpair was expecting....

A developer onPrince of Persia: The Lost Crownhas revealed that they want to make aLegend of Zeldaspin-off, which doesn’t seem too far-fetched considering Nintendo and Ubisoft’s previous collaborations. Prince of Persiafans have been beggingUbisoftfor a new game for a long time now and, while weseemingly won’t be seeing the Sands of Time remake for quite a while, The Lost Crown has already managed to reinvigorate the series in a big way....

Look, I’m just going to say it clearly for everyone:Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Nameis theworstgame to start your Yakuza journey with. It’s not because it’s a bad game —I absolutely raved about it in my review. However, if you play Gaiden first, then enjoy it so much you want to check out the rest of the series, you’ve already done yourself the disservice of ruining the last two games in a big, big way....

From the get-go, the PlayStation Portable was marketed by Sony as having console-quality experiences in the palm of your hands. A big factor that played into this narrative was how the games looked—as the PSP was touted as having graphics that compared to, and even exceeded, those on the PS2. Did it live up to that promise? These games would certainly prove that to be the case. From stunning cinematic adventures to stylised artistic statements, these PSP games have remained pleasing to the eyes after all these years, and here we’ll talk about them....

Three years into the current generation ofPlayStationandXboxconsoles, a clear path when it comes to exclusives is more important to each platform than ever before.

Quick Links The Goblin Camp is an area inBaldur’s Gate 3wherein you’ll be able to have a lot of interactions with different goblins. One goblin you might come across is an arrogant loud-mouth named Crusher. You’ll find him bragging about his recent exploits to his fellow goblins at X:-72, Y:438. If you walk up to him, he’ll tell you that he’s got the Absolute on his side, and this makes him cocky....

PlayStation’s latest State of Playfinally gave us a good look at Silent Hill 2 Remake, showing off a variety of different puzzles and monsters that players will encounter in the titular town. Surprisingly, quite a lot of the game’s latest trailer was focused on combat, something that probably needed a bit of an overhaul due to how clunky it is in the original, but not exactly something that many fans would claim is an important part of the original experience....

It’s almost the end of 2023, which means developers across Japan with upcoming games are releasing end-of-year statements to provide updates on their myriad of projects. Konami is no exception, a publisher which is currently working on a bunch ofSilent Hilltitles, including the highly-anticipated remake of Silent Hill 2. In Konami’s statement to Japanese outlet4Gamer, Silent Hill producer Hajime Okamoto asked fans to “wait a little longer” for news regarding the other Silent Hill games currently in development, including Silent Hill 2 Remake....

With how unique of an experienceJusantis, you could easily assume that it would be hard to recommend games to those who enjoyed it. However, when looking at the individual elements of Jusant separately, it is easier to identify similar aspects in other games and see the parallels they have to Jusant. Jusant is a perfectly paced but decidedly short experience. If you still want more by the end, there are still other amazing games available that can satiate this craving....

Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League’searly access launch hasn’t gone to plan for the most part, as players in Australia and New Zealand that booted up the game upon release werebeing greeted with automatically completed games. It was a pretty bizarre glitch, and one that forced developer Rocksteady to take the game offline mere hours after it had been released. Since it’s an online-only game, players were essentially locked out of their new games for almost six hours....
