A lifeless, colorless, utterly humorless take on the Marvel universe, Avengers’ overall sloppiness and visually horrendous presentation doesn’t help. And on top…
We’re fast approaching a new generation of consoles, and we don’t even know what they’ll cost or when they’ll come out. But we DO know that Sony might allow you to preorder one from them if you’re very good. As we hurtle toward next-gen in a year where people literally…
Marvel’s Avengers is only looking worse and worse as we hurtle toward its release date. It’s beyond clear that Square Enix and associates are looking to turn this thing into a corporate gravy train. Also, it’s got lots of battle passes! Every single post-launch hero will get their own $10…
Activision is the latest publisher to aid in normalizing a new price point for so-called “AAA” videogames going forward. Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War will cost $69.99 on PS5 and Xbox Series X. Because of course. While some will be quick to point out how publishers “need” to…
Who is HYPED for Suicide Squad Kill the Justice League? Who is STOKED for Gotham Knights? I’m sure we ALL are, and I’m sure none of us have something to say about anything shady, suspect, or harmful that Rocksteady has done. Let’s watch these great trailers! #SuicideSquad #GothamKnights #Batman #Rocksteady…
Incredibly brave and heroic, Epic Games continues its fight to #FreeFornite against Apple’s oppressive tyranny. That is definitely the whole story. The corporate scrap between Epic and Apple is a story of freedom and sacrifice. That is, the freedom of Epic and Apple to sacrifice every innocent bystander caught in…
Battletoads is a game with a very small attention span. One moment it’s a brawler, the next it’s a bullet hell shooter. When you finally get a handle on it, the thing becomes a rhythmic runner game. Those hoping for a brawler will be disappointed. There’s plenty of combat, but…

It helps that I’m really enjoying the game, but I’m also genuinely quite fascinated at what a perfect storm of marketability Fall Guys is. There’s a reason…
505 Games would like you to know that you’re a total chump if you bought Control less than a year ago. The game is getting an ultimate edition for twenty bucks cheaper AND it’ll be the only way to upgrade the game for PS5 and Xbox Series X. Most companies…
Screw the lot of them. Yes, Apple and Google need taking down from their high towers. Yes, Epic Games has a point as it sues to keep Fortnite on mobile devices. But absolutely all of them are as bad as each other. Epic Games is currently trying to mobilize fans…
Electronic Arts is the latest company to be questioned by investors over plans to enrich its corporate leadership for no justifiable reason. EA recently tried to award executives millions in bonuses, but were voted down. As they should be. The news follows Activision being questioned over plans to give CEO…
A corporate buffet table for the ages, Marvel’s The Avengers is set to be perhaps THE textbook definition of a so-called “AAA” videogame.
