If you had any doubt that the cult of Helix fossil, one of the “religions” formed around Twitch Plays Pokémon, is a serious thing, here’s proof.

Puyo Puyo Tetris Blends Two Classics into One Awesome Game

I love Tetris. It’s one of the rare games I have played off and on for the past 20 years. But, I’d be lying if I said I didn’t think it could use a little extra something to mix it up from time to time. And sure enough, mixing it with fellow puzzle classic Puyo…

Godzilla Had the Best Summer Vacation Ever

Non Non Biyori is a Lighthearted Romp in the Japanese Countryside

When most people think of anime, they think of intense action or perhaps a moé love story.

A Game Where You Don’t Play As Someone. You Play As Everyone.

sonder is a sci-fi third-person action adventure game. So far so expected, but it has a neat twist: you’re not playing as a single character. Instead, while the narrative plays out, you’re free – and encouraged – to switch between characters and play the role of anyone in the game. The idea being that while…
