Quick Links There are a lot of satirical games out there. There are a lot of sci-fi games, too. Plenty of survival-crafting games as well. Something akin to political commentary, too. Combine all of them and what do you get? Quite a few games too, actually. ButRevenge of the Savage Planetat least has quite a bit of fun with it. It’s a silly game, one that puts more emphasis on moment-to-moment gameplay presented in a satirical wrapper....

Quick Links Fatal Fury: City of the Wolvesis out at last, bringing us the first follow-up to Mark of the Wolves in 26 years. Still, even after all that time away, this series is one of the best at providing character and player expression, as well as defensive options that help keep the game feeling balanced and exhilarating from encounter to encounter. There are also a bunch of new additions to the series here as well, with one of the coolest being the Color Edit mode, allowing you to manually edit each character’s appearance to apply unique Design Patterns, colors, and more to them, adding even more personality to your gameplay than ever before!...

I’ve never understood why gamers get so up in arms about all the different PC storefronts. It takes two seconds to click an icon on your desktop and load up another platform. There’s an ease-of-access to having your entire library in one place, I get that — it’s why I primarily use Steam — butthe vitriol towards even just downloading Epic Game Store anti-cheat to play a gameon Steamgoes to show how ingrained this hatred has become....

Magic: The Gatheringhas changed a lot since I was a kid. I remember getting a deck or two for my tenth birthday because my parents thought it was the same thing asYu-Gi-Oh. A+ for effort, but I was definitely too young to figure out the rules and spent most of my time playing a PC game that came with it. Fast-forward almost two decades, and I’ve never returned to the TCG....

Summary Long-running game series can’t stay the same forever. They need to change a bit over time, or else they will grow stale. Developers realize this and regularly mix things up with their most popular series. Unfortunately, though, change isn’t always a good thing. Many times, a beloved series has been altered in some way, and neither critics nor fans have been happy about it. However, this isn’t always the way it goes down....

However, each of these series would continue to grow during the 2000s. Plus, several new series would arrive on the scene as the world was treated to the debuts of Fable, Mass Effect, Dragon Age, and more. The genre arguably became more cinematic during the decade asreally long cutscenesbecame a more common sight....

Summary Maliss isYu-Gi-Oh’svery own Alice in Wonderland archetype. The cards feature their own interpretations of many of the iconic characters from the story, such as the White Rabbit, the Queen of Hearts, and the Cheshire Cat with a malware twist.

I see theSwitch 2everywhere I go. When I put off going to the doctor due to cost, it reminds me ofSwitch 2 Welcome Tour, something else which should absolutely be free. When I consider buying expensive concert tickets, I have to remind myself: Andrew, you could break the bank to see The Weeknd live… or, for roughly the same price, you could buy a couple Switch 2 games. And when I return to old Nintendo games, I now find myself wondering how much better they would play on the Switch 2....
