Ubisoft Wants You Playing New Assassin’s Creed Games For Six Months Or More

Back when last year’s Assassin’s Creed Origins was still a fairly new game, Ubisoft found an unusual way to brag about it. In a press release three and a half months after it launched, the company noted: “Average playtime per player expected to almost double.” The claim had some odd caveats. First, it was a…

World Of Warcraft‘s New Warfronts Aren’t Great, But The Loot Is Nice

Introduced in last week’s update, Warfronts are a new feature in World of Warcraft’s Battle for Azeroth expansion. They’re large-scale battles reminiscent of the original Warcraft series’ real-time strategy battles. They’re only exciting for about an hour, but look at my new horse and armor. So good. Warfronts—or should I say Warfront as there is…

GTA Online‘s Biggest Problem Is Other Players

GTA Online has a problem. Not with shark cards or servers, though many players aren’t happy about those things, but with other players.

Neo Geo Mini Is Cute, But An Imperfect Nostalgia Trip

Neo Geo, as a brand, has always seemed to be about extravagant, weird ideas. First it was an arcade machine that used cartridges, then a wildly expensive home machine released in 1990, now a mini-console with its own screen and a tiny joystick for a controller. As a novelty item, Neo Geo Mini has an…

The Sims 100 Baby Challenge Is My New Birth Control

PS4 Owners Feel Trolled By The New 6.0 Update

Sony released a new firmware update for the PlayStation 4 today—a nice round number, 6.0. Such point-zero updates often mean big new changes for a platform, which is what fans were hoping for.

Just saying a little prayer before today’s Nintendo Direct.

Call of Duty‘s Frantic Battle Royale Takes Some Adjustment

Playing Call of Duty: Black Ops 4’s new battle royale mode Blackout is both familiar and strange for anyone into the genre. The game is split between frantic gunplay and methodical movement. I’ve had a lot of fun with it, but its fast pace doesn’t match the battle royale experience I’m used to. There’s two…

Think Conveyer Belt Sushi, But With Cake

This past July, Cafe Ron Ron opened in Tokyo’s Harajuku. Little plates circle around the restaurant, but instead of raw fish, they serve up sweets. The restaurant has an all-you-can-eat deal. For 1,800 yen ($16), you can stuff your face with as many desserts as possible over the course of forty minutes. A drink is…
