Balatro Deserves the Hype
You saw it when the Game Awards announced its top nominees for 2024. There, hidden amongst AAA games from big name publishers. You saw the comments. “Balatro? Haven’t heard of it. Why the hell are they including a card game?” And frankly, it’s lucky for all involved that the Elden Ring DLC became a lighting rod for the really negative conversation this year. People got to take out their frustration on something not directly related to the games for the…

Are We Really Doing Handhelds Again?
Remember the PlayStation Vita? That was an awesome little device. Nobody bought it. Sony didn’t support it. Now Sony and Microsoft are working on new handhelds. We’re supposed to be excited. This time it’ll be different, we’re told. There won’t be any dedicated software. It’ll all be stuff you can play just fine from the comfort of your home. Hell, most of it will be on the Switch 2, if that isn’t just a myth at this point. But THESE…

Dynasty Warriors Could Be a 2025 GOTY Hit
In a year that’s offering up Grand Theft Auto 6, Death Stranding 2, Avowed, Assassin’s Creed and a new Monster Hunter, Koei’s hack and slash series may not be an obvious GOTY contender. But the Dynasty Warriors: Origins demo paints a picture of a game hitting way above its budget roots. Listen, I know how it sounds. I’ve been playing the Dynasty Warriors games since I got the second one with my PS2. I love it, but it’s never pushed…

Farming Simulator 25 – Flawed, Fun?
I’ve been dabbling in Farming Simulator for over a week now and while the game has a bunch of problems both on console and PC, I cannot help but continue to pick up the controller and maneuver my tractors around the map. I invest so much into Farming Simulator games because I know Giants Software will continue to work on the game for years to come. But I would be considered a super fan – should you invest? Listen, right…

Is Dragon Age’s Lack of DLC a Good Thing?
Bioware’s latest Dragon Age is out, and it’s good. Critics have called it a return to form for a series that’s lacked form for a long time. It won’t be getting DLC. Is this a good thing? I’ve seen all the celebrating that The Veilguard won’t get DLC. I’ve seen the five word paragraphs that celebrate the return to a day where a good game could exist in isolation.

There are some new bits, some re-recorded lines of dialogue. New things can be found. Places that had slowdown, even on a fairly beefy PC, don’t have slowdown in the newly released version of the game. All of these are pretty…
