The pitch “Pokemon with guns” may be the worst idea I’ve ever heard. No, I don’t want to give Grookey an AK-47. ButPalworld’sembarrassing marketing is the least of its worries. It tries to be Zelda without understanding what madeBreath of the Wildwork. It tries to bePokemonwhile removing the tactical trainer battles. The creature designs are cute but, at best, completely uninspired and, at worst,complete Pokemon ripoffs. The survival mechanics are overly simple and allegations of AI art are rife....

Pizza Towerfans are “fuming” and “f**king done” after seeing the game lose toThe Last of Us Part 1for “Best Soundtrack” at The Steam Awards. As you’re all no-doubt aware of by now, 2023 was chock-full of bangers, from big releases likeSpider-Man 2,Alan Wake 2, andBaldur’s Gate 3, to smaller titles likeCocoon,Dredge, andVenba. One of the most overlooked games of the year, though, was Pizza Tower, an excellent Wario Land-esque title that quickly garnered a huge fanbase for its speedy platforming, heart-pumping soundtrack, and unlimited meme potential....

Escape From Tarkov: Arenais a game of inches and milliseconds. With a time-to-kill quite a bit lower than the average for the competitive shooter genre, a wrong step or a poorly-timed turn can mean instant death. But there’s a lot you can do to turn the tides in your favor. Arena might be overwhelming at first, especially if you’ve never played Tarkov previously, but once you get the hang of it, you’ll be in for a treat....

Nintendodidn’t do much right with theWii U, but it is the console on whichamiibosmade their debut. As much as theSwitchwill forever overshadow the failure that came before it, the Wii U will always have that, at least. Sticking with amiibos on the3DSand the Switch, those of us who collect and use them are now waiting with bated breath to find out if whatever comes next will have amiibo compatibility too. If it doesn’t, Sora’sSmash Ultimateamiibo might be the last one we ever get....

I consider myself a zillennial, but most of my friends in the same age range identify as millennials because they’re normal people who don’t define what generation they’re in by which chronically-online memes they understand. I was born early enough to post the words ‘epic fail’ on Facebook, late enough to understand how TikTok and the various trends that proliferate on it, and I am far too old to understand what Skibidi Toilet is or have any impulse to find out....

Venom’s voice actor, Tony Todd, has revealed thatSpider-Man 2was originally going to include scenes where Miles Morales was wearing a Symbiote suit, but that they got cut from the final game. Although Spider-Man 2 mostly focuses on Peter and Harry’s experiences with the Symbiote suit, they aren’t the only characters in the game that end up being taken over by the gooey alien.Not only does MJ wear a Symbiote and get turned into Scream, but half of the citizens of New York City also end up becoming vessels in the final hours of the adventure....

Like its titular heroes swinging in to save the day,Marvel’s Spider-Man 2showed up at exactly the right time. I’ve had a hard time finishing games this year. I startedMarvel’s Midnight Sunsback in February, but didn’t roll credits until last month. I started theMass Effecttrilogy in January, finished the first game, then got distracted in the middle of Mass Effect 2, and haven’t gone back since. Now I feel stranded, and unsure whether I should pick up where I left off, start 2 all over again with a recap of the first, or just drop the games all together and come back for a full trilogy playthrough in a few years....

Faheem Rashad Najm, also known by his songwriter name T-Pain, has seemingly confirmed that he has some kind of role inGrand Theft Auto 6and that his involvement in the game is the reason why he doesn’t play on GTA RP servers anymore. As anyone who has seen Ned Luke dodge questions about Micheal de Santa returning in GTA 6 will know, getting anyone to admit that they’re working on the game and potentially break Rockstar’s infamously ironclad embargoes is like getting blood out of a stone....
