So you’ve just been appointed the very top job of the gaming company you worshiped as a kid. What do you do? Gush? Gloat?

Today, June 12, Ubisoft became the latest big game publisher to hop on stage and announce new games as part of Geoff Keighley’s big, not-E3 Summer Game Fest 2023 extravaganza. In the last year or so, Ubisoft has struggled to consistently release games and has continued to delay and push back big titles, like Skull…

With Starfield, Bethesda’s next big mega-RPG on the near horizon, and the hotly anticipated sequel to Skyrim expected at some, likely distant, point after that, the studio sure has its hands full with crafting enormous worlds.

Honestly, the most extraordinary thing about this 16-year-old breaking the record for typing by hitting over 300 words per minute is that he’s ever heard of a keyboard. Shouldn’t he be tapping at a phone screen so fast that his thumbs are a fleshy blur? Either way, I bet you didn’t know speed-typing YouTube was a…

Crash Team Rumble is probably not the Crash game you want. It’s not a platformer, it’s not even a kart racing game, it’s a team-based multiplayer game that’s structurally comparable to a MOBA. That label may scare some people off, but after playing a few rounds of it at Summer Game Fest, it’s clear to me that Crash…

If you’re anything like me, your favorite part about RPGs is the relationships you can make with characters along the way. This includes Cyberpunk 2077, because my favorite thing about doing crimes in CD Projekt Red’s open-world action RPG is knowing my trash boyfriend Kerry Eurodyne is waiting for me in his big…
