Japan is allegedly ready…again It’s crazy to think that Super Nintendo World “isn’t open yet,” because there are hundreds upon hundreds of videos of people crowding into the park and doing vlogs of every single facet of it; but alas, it’s not “officially open.” That allegedly changes on March 18. If you recall, the latest delay snatched away the prior launch date of February 4, due to a state of emergency that was declared in the Osaka prefecture....

No Man’s SkyExpedition 15: Aquarius is the first Expedition in the game’s history based around fishing.

TheAquarius update forNo Man’s Skywas released on June 28, 2025, and the Expedition hit the game on the same day. While there’s no need to speedrun it, Expeditions are only ever live for a limited amount of time, so it’s worth completing every Milestone and Phase while you have the chance and without rushing....

The object here is to upload the virus that would steal those pennies into the different floors of Initech, from Milton’s desk in the basement all the way up to the boardroom. The building is quite small, only 10 floors tall and you unlock all of them quickly....

Xbox Live parties that stretched ’til 4am. Your third red ring of death. Wait. But one that keeps coming up, probably because it was criminally cut short long before people were tired of it, is1 vs 100. The twice-weekly community-driven interactive trivia show was beloved by most all who played it....

The sequel to the original that arrived in 2016 on Oculus As the saying goes: shake it once that’s fine, shake it twice that’s okay, shake it three times, you’re playing with yourself (today). Lucky’s Talehas gone from two games to three, which makes it a full-on franchise if it wasn’t already. It began life as “Lucky’s Tale” on the Oculus Rift, then pivoted outside of the purview of VR with “Super Lucky’s Tale,” the sequel....

Project CARSmade its name as a crowdfunded hardcore racing sim for the masses, and this first look doesn’t really convey that intent. In a lot of ways, it’s moreNeed for SpeedthanProject CARS, what with all the neon-lit nighttime racing and all....

Most sane people now admit that the PSPgo was a stupid idea, not least for the fact that it cost more than a regular PSP, but could play less games. If a certain PSP game, likeLumines, isn’t on the PlayStation Network, then the PSPgo can’t run it … until now. The PSPgo has finally been hacked, allowing it to load game ISOs and thus welcome UMD-only games that never went digital....
