How do over 1,000 free-to-play games sound? Well, not many social casinos in the US or Canada can boast such a range, but Fortune Coins does. The platform doesn’t just excel in terms of quantity. You’ll also enjoy games of different varieties and high quality. Now, having many titles to choose from is an advantage. But it may make it challenging to select which to play, especially when you’re n...

The Switch launched in March 2017, which seems like a different world at this point, severely underpowered compared to its home console competition. Of course it wasn't just a home console, but while it definitely got some wiggle room because of its portability, as a unified platform it has been the most powerful device Nintendo and its third party support have had access to for close to a deca...

Hey. Look. I promise this will be the last explormer review for 2024. Not that I'm practicing any self-restraint; I'm genuinely running out of the things. Maybe that's something to ask from Santa. This week's subliminal cry for help is Sheepo , the first (Steam-published) game from Kyle Thompson . He was the one behind semi-recent IGotW subject Islets ( #373 )... and will probably appear here a...

The world of video games has been evolving at an astonishing pace, and one of the most visually impactful developments is the range of 3D art styles that bring these games to life. From photorealism to stylized art, 3D game art styles are not only visually stunning but also play a crucial role in how players connect with a game. Each style offers something unique, making it possible to create w...

Four years after launch the PS5 stands alone atop the traditional console market. Ever since Sega’s exit in 2001 there have been three major players in the game console market. Sony, Nintendo, and Microsoft. During these last 23 or so years Sony has had the most success, but it hasn’t always been consistent and there was a period during the mid to late 2000s where it was running in third place...

It gives me no pleasure to bury an Xbox console. I have a long history with the brand and even told my friend to get an Xbox One 10 years ago , after the botched launch and when PS4 was ascendant. I don't really regret that; we had lot of good times playing multiplayer games before he had a family and dropped gaming, and even after the Xbox served as a solid media center for his wife and him. I...

Later this month, I intend to finally get started on my GOTY list by playing my first (serious) game from 2024: The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom . However, that doesn't mean I'll be putting away the many Zeldersatzes I still have in my Indie backlog out of concerns for repetition (I think I've played thirteen explormer s so far this year?) so here we are with an interesting little game cal...

To give you some perspective on how this year has gone, not just for the games industry but for me as well, my original version of this post was dated June. As you may have guessed, the wild spree of bizarre and terrible news kept pushing my plans further and further, and being busy at work sure didn’t help me finish the draft. As I typed this intro, I refreshed Twitter to see which of the Game...

On Tuesday, November 5, 2024, Donald Trump was elected president of the United States of America for a second, non-consecutive, term. His first term was a bonafide disaster, in ways that people seem to hardly remember, ranging from his Covid response to his destruction of international institutions to family separation at the border and, of course, his appointment of judges who would dismantle...

Well, here we are, the final Sega CD games of 1993 and the very last Mega Archive to cover that same year—something I started on back in 2021 . Preliminary plans to cover 1994 are... well, demoralizing is probably the way I'd put it. My favorite part of exploring the libraries of older systems is seeing the way trends shift based on trailblazing headliners like Sonic the Hedgehog and how there'...

Schlocktober '24: When spooky season comes around I start looking for (mostly) mediocre games to satisfy my urge for gore and chills. Some are horror, some are just horror influenced, most are deeply flawed and a little obscure, but as long as they've got spooks and shivers, games of all shapes and sizes can be part of Schlocktober. Games were played, or at least started in October. What’s this...

It's November 1st, y'all, which means the Christmas season is upon us. That's right, I'm one of those crazies that starts celebrating the moment the Halloween decorations go down, and by "celebrate" I mean "dread with every fiber of my being" as seasonal affective disorder descends upon us like a tidal wave of anti-depressant pill bottles. That's why Cthulhu Saves Christmas 's idea of linking C...
