I Wish The Wheelchair-Using Inhuman In Marvel’s Avengers Did More

As a wheelchair user I applaud Crystal Dynamics for going out of its way to include a wheelchair-using character in Marvel’s Avengers.

Upcoming Indie Game Nour: Play With Your Food Wants To Make You Hungry

At the elementary school lunch table, after I was finished with my chicken nuggets or whatever else the cafeteria had served up for the day, my friends and I would mix all our leftovers together.

Here’s How Microtransactions Work In Marvel’s Avengers

More Games Could Use Invincibility Modes Like Control’s

Control’s latest update added an assist mode that makes protagonist Jesse into a paranormal killing machine with the click of a button. It’s an option I wish more games had.

How’s It Going? New Edition

I’ve been wanting to do this since I took over this post. Welcome back to our daily open thread. The only question about the New Edition edition of How’s It Going? was which song to use. “Candy Girl” is too obvious. “Mr. Telephone Man” hasn’t aged well. So I went with the most modest of…

In years past, Microsoft had massive Xbox booths at the Tokyo Game Show, going head to head with the likes of Sony. But, as it turns out, Japanese gamers aren’t really into Xbox!
