Consoles are consoles and PCs are PCs. I’ve always held this belief steadfastly, which is why the hybridization of the two in the form of theSteam Deckhas always given me,in the common vernacular, the ick. I have a lot of games on theEpic Games Storethanks to its various giveaways, and the idea of effectively jailbreaking my Steam Deck (billed as a PC in your hand) to play them just puts me off....

Having the right miniatures forDungeons & Dragonscan bring encounters to life—but smart Dungeon Masters know they don’t need a miniature for every creature in the Monster Manual.

A few flexible, iconic pieces can cover everything from early-game goblin ambushes to high-level boss battles. Whether you’re building your first collection or streamlining your current one, here are the best monsters and miniatures to invest in for maximum utility and table presence....

However, it seems that the eligibility for pre-ordering the Switch 2 isn’t simply based on who clicks first....

Summary TheNintendo Switch 2’s reveal has been a mixed bag. While fans are pleased to finally have a good idea ofhow the console will playandwhat games we’ll be launching for it, the Direct was immediately followed bya very unpopular price revealfor both the hardware and the games.

DLC is a wonderful thing. Brand new stories and expanded worlds can add incredible new things to an already brilliant game, enhancing it beyond what it was out of the gates, and offering more for loyal fans. Or it could just be horse armour.

Summary PlayStationhas been suspiciously quiet regarding the industry shift to $80 games. It seems inevitable it will joinNintendoandXboxon that new tier eventually though, especially with its player base demonstrating it’s more than willing to pay an extra $10 for its first party exclusives. Death Stranding 2andGhost of Yoteiwill be PlayStation’s full price first party exclusives this year, launching in June and October, respectively. Since pre-orders for those games are already open, and each of their standard editions is priced at $70, that might explain why PlayStation is yet to commit toan $80 future like Xbox did last week....
