After four agonizing weeks of waiting, Dina and Ellie finally consummated their relationship in The Last of Us during this week’s episode. The live-action adaptation has taken a few creative liberties with the girl’s love story, and that meant rather than starting the game out in a relationship, it baited the audience…

A very strange thing happened earlier this year, prior to Nintendo officially revealing the Switch 2: A small accessory maker, Genki, brought a mockup of the mysterious new console to CES 2025 and flaunted it on the show floor, suggesting to press that the 3D printed replica was accurate and based on early access to…

Well, y’all, this week I decided to give The Last of Us showrunner Craig Mazin a break. I’ve been pretty harsh toward the show’s second season for fundamentally misunderstanding so many of the bold creative decisions of the game on which it’s based. This week’s episode, however, was the best—or at least the least…

It’s been a week, huh? It looks like we’ll be paying a whole lot more for consoles and games as well as reading and watching a whole lot less great gaming journalism, and on top of all that, GTA 6 isn’t even coming out this year!

Across all of the Star Wars saga we’ve seen a whole lot of Stormtroopers. These armored soldiers are the Empire’s main fighting force and show up in just about every piece of Star Wars media out there, including games, books, comics, and of course movies. But they aren’t all the same. There are many variants of these…

Somehow, with all the other wild shit happening in the early going in Clair Obscur, a golem made of bits of wood and burlap sacks who beats people to death with his dead partner who’s a living paintbrush comes off as just another day at the office. Problem is, getting caught underestimating that thing is a quick and…

At the start of this week you could snag a used Xbox Series S in the U.S. for around $250. Just days later, Microsoft hiked the price of new Series S units to $380, and the Series X all the way to $600. The tech giant blamed “market conditions,” AKA President Trump’s trade war with China. But tariffs will come for all…

Have you heard the news? Grant Theft Auto 6, which was announced with a 2025 release window, has been delayed until May 2026. A year away. Yikes! But actually, that’s okay, because 2025 has been so jam-packed with good games (and more are coming) that we didn’t really need GTA 6 anyway.

There are plenty of side quests in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. One very early on in the game can have big ramifications later on depending on what you decide to do.

Whelp, Grand Theft Auto VI isn’t coming out in 2025 after all. Many are shocked but not surprised. Big games often get delayed, though GTA VI is the biggest of them all and had executives promising it wouldn’t slip its fall launch as recently as February. It’s a terrible bait and switch for fans, but potentially a…

The Marvel Cinematic Universe is now 17 years old and boasts a catalog of 36 movies and counting.

Last week, Xbox and Bethesda shadow-dropped a fancy remaster of 2006 open-world RPG The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion and it promptly took over the world.

If you ever needed proof that all things feed into one another, look no further than somebody making Marvel Rivals kits in Overwatch 2.

Overwatch 2’s new season is one of its most robust.

If you ask random folks what their favorite class is in Oblivion—classic or Remastered—they’ll all proclaim something different as the absolute best. We all have favorite playstyles, after all.
