He’s heating up! While I’ve known aboutPyrefor roughly a year now (having seen it twice at PAX East), I never got the chance to sit down and play the game. Since I’m a fan of Supergiant’s previous works, I just kind of figured it would be the same high-quality adventure-style game we’ve previously gotten from the studio.Transistorplayed like a more strategy-driven take onBastion, but it shared a lot of the same gameplay quirks, for instance....

This could take a while… I’m pretty sure I’m not alone when I say thatRick and Mortyis one of the best shows that is currently airing on Adult Swim. Between its pitch black sense of humor and its wild adventures, the show hit a sweet spot for a lot of people and it’s developed a pretty ravenous fanbase. Granted, this fanbase is pretty extreme and will be quick to kill a man over dipping sauce, but at least the show is good!...

Yeah I love this I’m enjoying the painstakingAnimal Crossing: New Horizonsfan creations far more than I amAnimal Crossingproper right now. We already hadthe amazingZelda: Link to the Pastislandthat took three straight days of terraforming to make, and now we have this: a wonderfully cute rendition of Pallet Town from the first generation ofPokemon(or the anime, if you prefer). Twitter user Migue posted this lovely little video of them walking through Pallet Town, which has been re-created in a near 1:1 format from the original Game Boy entry....

Hiro Nakamura from Heroes is producing it I wouldn’t blame you if you forgot that there’s aMega Manmovie in the works. After all, any and allMega Mannews is pretty scarce these days given Capcom’s stance on it, and pretty much everything in the past few years has been re-release or merchandise related. Producer Masayori Oka (Hiro fromHeroes, who also produced the AmericanDeath Noteremake), however, is here to remind us that it’s still happening....

Living in New York is expensive as hell, no matter where in the state you are, but being in proximity to Manhattan has its perks, like being able to visit theMetal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eaterpop-up in Midtown today.

10 million sold to date Taiko no Tatsujinkicked off in 2001 and it’s been going strong ever since, especially in Japan. Although the west doesn’t always get some of the more esoteric games (like the 3DS RPG) odds are you’ve seen it in arcades and are at least aware of Bandai Namco’s adorable littleTaikomascot. It’s not just anecdotal success either, as Bandai Namco reports that they’ve pushed 10 million copies of the series on consoles, Partly due to the release ofDrum Session(PS4) andDrum ‘n’ Fun(Switch) worldwide this past year....

Clearly the superior goose simulator on the market Untitled Goose Gamedebuted last year and it seemed to make a huge dent as everyone couldn’t get enough of the exploits of the Asshole Goose. House House went silent after the footage premiered and the game slowly faded from memory.
