I’ve spent easily a 100 or more hours playing Minecraft on PC (not to mention on mobile) and I’ve got an active Realms subscription to play with my brothers and cousins AND I’ve got a bunch of games I’ve been meaning to play (including the great ARMS on the Switch)... and yet every night over the past few days I’ve… Read more

The Switch has made me realize how many times I’ve decided against playing a game on the TV because it felt like too much of a hassle. The actual amount of effort involved is negligible but it doesn’t feel that way when the mood strikes me. Read more

I second Disgaea 5 on the Switch being the definitive version. It’s every bit as good as the PS4 with all the DLC and it’s portable. They even kept the trophies. I had a blast replaying it. Read more

Since they created the ‘Classics’ logo branding on the SNES Classic edition, my basic thoughts are they will release a “mini” console annually (NES/SNES/N64/GC) with multiple games contained therein. And that will be how they approach the Virtual Console product line, while the consoles themselves will move more… Read more

It’d be foolish of Nintendo to not make their VC stuff compatible with the system. Just straight up foolish. Read more

Believe in Belushi and Aykroy of course.

I think the best thing about this game is that it was TOUGH. Like Doom the game made you work to beat the levels. Its a great feeling fighting off 3 of those walking nazi tank guys with only a sliver of health left Read more

One of the best episodes in all tv shows ever.

The angels are wonderful villains at first but they get horribly overused later on. Read more

Nope. I’m still on 1080p, both with my TV and my PC monitor. I’m really not fussed about 4K, to be honest—I find the colour saturation/dynamic range offered by HDR much more compelling than the extra pixels. Read more

I keep telling people looking for new TVs to get one with good HDR instead of just focusing on the 4K feature. Seeing things in 4k vs 1080p can be a marginal improvement, HDR vs standard is often night and day. Read more

Surprised by the early numbers even though only 225 reporting. Got the Samsung KS8000 the week of Super Bowl this year. It’s so choice. Read more

You will need a screwdriver, a pair of tweezers, a magnifying glass (optional), some salt (~1tbsp), and a bag of chicken feed, preferably corn-based.

Best Kotaku article I’ve ever read, along with a valuable life lesson. Read more

Yup, we do. My gf and I just finished our time with Destiny.. The Last of Us is this week (she’s never finished it), then on to Uncharted 1-3 before 4's DLC comes out.

Wait, the internet told me that women ruin video games. I don’t know what to believe anymore! Read more

Women play video games? Why that’s a notion so preposterous that I shall need to fetch my fainting couch and smelling salts! Read more

I felt a bit underwhelmed overall, but maybe that’s because we’re kind of in the middle of the current console generation, and it seems like publishers aren’t waiting till E3 to announce stuff (at least not like they used to). Read more

Anthem looks like a Destiny retread and the forced multiplayer makes it a no-buy for me. First Bioware game I will not get since the Sonic RPG. But even if I were into multiplayer games, I don’t get why everyone in the games media is losing their minds over it. Read more

Nintendo really saved this years E3 for me. Read more
