Sometimes, April Fool’s jokes are just boring. Other times, they’re potentially disastrous. Most videogame companies’ jokes are also a little sad—wouldn’t it be great if games were actually as...
At this year’s GDC, the strangest thing I saw that wasn’t in a VR headset was definitely GoNNER.
Admit it, we love pastoral fantasy games. From Animal Crossing‘s small town mayoral life to Minecraft‘s ‘punch trees, kill a skeleton’ philosophy, there’s just something special abou...
This year, the powers that be at Disney Interactive made the wise decision to continue supporting their flagship. Disney Infinity 3.0 is last year’s edition of the number one toys-to-life pla...
For all its faults, Destiny has rhythm. When people — like me, for instance — pick up the torch to defend Bungie’s infamously repetitive loot shooter, you can be sure we’ll mention just how “...
Rare Replay was announced at E3 last year: a collection of 30 games that spans Rare’s entire game-development history. Many of Rare’s games — including some in the Replay collection — were originally...
The Witch and the Hundred Knight: Revival Edition is a mixed bag of a port for the PlayStation 4. The original game, without “Revival Edition” on the end, came to the PlayStation 3 with relat...

Several hours into my time with Jurassic World: Evolution, I stumbled upon a tiny detail that changed the way I thought about the game.

Sleep Tight is a game about fighting the monsters which spring from childhood’s undiluted imagination. At its heart, it’s a tower defense game with an adorable theme that it completely leans into. Eac...
