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…
http://www.thejimquisition.com https://www.thejimporium.com You have to give credit where credit’s due, and in terms of commercial videogame success, Mediatonic’s Fall Guys deserves a nod. 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. The glitz, the glamor, the overwhelmingly cynical branding of it all! What fun. Hot off the news that Spider-Man will be a PlayStation exclusive, Square Enix’s pathetic…
The Last of Us Part 2 is a neverending nightmare of discourse, and the outrage hasn’t stopped. By far the most absurdly controversial aspect remains Abby, a character whose existence has been offered up for debate by weirdos. Abby’s swole build has been called into question by a bunch of…
Fall Guys is an entertaining game that shines a grimly colorful light on just how self-destructive our self-service can be. Crabs in a bucket, people! While it has some issues – mainly from a monetary perspective – Fall Guys is a great blend of battle royale and silly physicality evocative…
Activision Blizzard employees recently shared details of their pay to find out just how bad the economic disparity at the company is – and it is bad, folks. The company only recently boasted of yet more record-shattering success even while its own workers struggle to make rent. At the same…
I could just do the traditional thing and say “Spider-Man is a PlayStation exclusive” but I don’t think that angle accurately describes what a platform exclusive really is. It’s not one platform getting extra – it’s other platforms getting less. That’s what’s happening with Marvel’s The Avengers, Square Enix’s upcoming…
For years, Ubisoft performed a progressive lie, broadcasting its “wokeness” while abusive predatory executives claimed women can’t sell. Today’s video looks at that hypocrisy, the hypocrisy that Ubisoft has indulged in for perhaps its entire existence. A public pantomime of inclusivity, and a private culture of hate, harassment, and outright…
Grounded is yet another survival game, but the shrunken conceit it hangs itself on carries the otherwise generic formula surprisingly well. At least when there aren’t any spiders around. Seriously, forget about arachnophobia. Scary or not, these spiders might be some of the worst things to be found in a…
