2016’s This is the Police was a bit of a mess, but its upcoming sequel—due later this year—looks interesting, if only for the drastic genre switch: instead of remotely sending cops out to incidents and having them return automatically, you now control them on a tactical “battlefield”.

Tokaido is six years old, and I am kicking myself I haven’t played it sooner. My crew tends to drift towards games about war, killing, conquest, destruction and murder. We’re not bad people, it’s just that a lot of the bigger board games we end up playing are just about that kind of stuff. I…
Terraria spin-off Otherworld, which was announced back in 2015, has been cancelled.
The most nightmarish moment of anyone’s Xbox Live session happened to Tyler “Spartan” Ganza during a world championship match. While he and his team were battling for a top three spot in the $1,000,000 tournament, his controller disconnected. Ganza and his team Reciprocity were on a decisive map 7 against Team Envy. He was on…
Controversial arcade game player Billy Mitchell released a statementtoday, responding to the recent disqualification of his records from both the Twin Galaxies leaderboards and Guinness World Records. Several of Mitchell’s high scores were disputed earlier this year by a forum poster claiming he used an emulator to record his scores, rather than a standard arcade…
Magic: The Gathering has been running for as long as I can remember. Even when I was young, going to the games store to pick out new Game Boy games, I could see the packs and decks hovering over me. It’s always seemed interesting but daunting. Arena makes those apprehensive first toes in the water…

Marie’s Room is set mostly in one room. It goes along like a stage play. Through objects and memories, you slowly unravel the story of two girls and a friendship gone wrong. And you have to do it all in one sitting. I was taking a look at the new releases on Steam yesterday, and…

FIFA is a series of soccer games that does its best to emulate professional football in the virtual realm. A bit of tomfoolery in a live pro match really drives home that sense of realism. During today’s matches at the FUT Champions Cup Manchester, the in-game ref called a penalty on a defender that would…
Last night’s game between the Cleveland Indians and Toronto Blue Jays had some weather delays. So while the tarps were laid out across Progressive Field, some staff decided to make use of one of the otherwise-idling jumbotrons. Cleveland social media wasn’t clear on who exactly was playing Fortnite at the field, and no word yet…

There’s no shortage of battle royale-style games to sate my need to drop onto an island and fight to be last man standing. Yet I can’t help think about the one thing so many are lacking: an arena that wants to kill me as bad as the other players do. I re-watched the first couple…
It can be difficult to know when to activate that hard-earned ultimate, especially when you’re playing a lower-health hero like Genji. Luckily, the Los Angeles Gladiators’ own João Pedro “Hydration” Goes Telles has you covered. In an all-access Q&A last night, the Overwatch League pro was asked, “How do you manage Genji’s ultimate? What’s the…

Standing for “multiplayer online battle arena,” the vague term became a catch-all for anything involving heroes, levels, and lanes. From the…

There are a lot of ways to create a spiritual successor to Nintendo’s classic boxing game Punch-Out!! But Pato Box, with its black-and-white noir look, mechanic-laden bosses, and half-mallard protagonist might be one of the more unique ones out there. I’ve been really enjoying my time with Pato Box, gradually chipping away at its roster…
