Scanning the OpenCritic reviews, I'm really intrigued by how wildly different the takes are. You have a 58/100 from PC Gamer, a 6/10 from Gamespot, an 8/10 from IGN, a 9/10 from Game Informer, and a 5...

This fucking sucks. Further cements the brain drain of games media, where people laid off will just never re-enter the ecosystem and public voices are irrevocably lost. Ziff Davis is a blight on the w...

I'm only a short time into this game because I only play it in front of both of my kids, but we really like it. Most critically, our two cats are completely enthralled with it. My partner did finish i...

As always, thank you for your service. This is going to end with you being the CEO and/or owner of Intellivision somehow.It's cliche to say everything in American life is now sports fandom, but at fir...

For a company that at one point was committed to creating a dozen live service games, Sony sure doesn't seem to have the ability to manage a single successful one. The absolutely most generous read is...

@ben_h: This is the biggest reason why I think this effort is destined for failure. Better studios than whatever Hasbro has access to are already grappling with the brain drain from their stupid pleas...

Echoing what people have said, the Brotherhood of Steel stuff is the weakest part of an otherwise surprisingly very good show. If I weren't already super familiar with the BoS, I would be confused why...

I read this feature every week and am glad it's part of the site! I wish work wasn't so hellaciously busy so I had more brain energy to say something insightful or interesting. Also to like, experienc...

The "and Friends" moniker is incredibly bizarre. At least it'll help me remember which companies are still owned by king dumbass Lars Wingefors.As you said, I wish any sort of change to Embracer was b...

Yeah, the Hawaiian city in Infinite Wealth is a specific area of Honolulu, but I forget the name of it. I showed the map to a coworker from Honolulu, and he immediately identified it as a real place.(...

Big Fish Theory was my 2017 Album of the Year, and it feels like that has only held up better with time. His track on Gorillaz' Humanz made me seek him out, and I immediately fell in love with his lyr...
