The original GreedFall was not a game I expected to love. It was one of those titles I skipped at launch, having not liked a previous title from Spiders, eventually playing it two years later or so. Sure, there was a little jank there. Ok, a lot of jank. They aren’t a top-tier developer. But there was something there, winning me over every step of the way. Eventually, I would own the game on about three systems, and it is in there with Cyberpunk 2077 and Kingdom Come: Deliverance as an RPG I could pick up at any point in…

Last year, when I was scrolling through Netflix, I stumbled upon the most recent City Hunter film. It looked stupid as hell, but Masanobu Ando was up in there, and lord knows I haven’t seen him since he was doing Takashi Miike westerns with Quentin Tarantino and his classic crazy hair, so I figured, why not? He was killed off about 10 minutes in, which I would have remembered. If I had any recollection of the source material, Ryohei Suzuki did such a good job as Ryo Saeba that the film was actually a pleasant watch. I’m not really sure…

Publisher GungHo Online Entertainment, in conjunction with developer Supertrick Games, has announced that live service action title LET IT DIE will be ending its online service on September 1, 2026.

LET It DIE was originally released for the PlayStation 4 in December of 2016, with a PC release following in 2018. It had started life as a completely different concept under…

A new report has stated that both Ghost of Yotei and the upcoming roguelike Saros will remain as PlayStation 5 exclusives as the company moves away from porting titles to PC, as was done with the previous games in both series. Bloomberg has stated that while Sony plans to continue releasing online games, such as the upcoming Marathon on PC, single-player titles will now remain exclusive to their console. Sony had previously had a policy of releasing these games on PC only after a period of time had passed. This policy would see a shift back for the studio, something…

I remember there being a fervent excitement for the Scott Pilgrim movie around the tail end of my high school career. Having not read the comics, this wasn’t such a big deal to me. Unfortunately, two of the people telling me how exciting this was did the movie reviews for the school paper, and once stated The Queen was a horrible movie because it was about an old lady. Needless to say, that means nothing. I would eventually see the movie, but I remembered being too distracted by whatever happened to Michael Cera and his face to truly enjoy it,…

Nintendo has announced that it will be holding an Indie World Showcase tomorrow, March 3rd. The showcase will air at 6 AM PT / 9 AM EST and will feature 15 minutes of news and updates on indie titles set to release across the Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2.

At the last event, which was held…
