I’m an unashamed fan of collecting physical games — there’s something appealing about holding a case in my hands, reading the back, and admiring the cover art. In eras past, I got a kick out of reading manuals or marketing materials, but that seems to be a relic of a bygone age....

Keeping in touch with your parents in Starfield is really wholesome

Video games and parents often do not go hand in hand. They are often put on the back burner, if their existence is acknowledged at all. Sure, sad-dad games likeThe Last of UsorGod of War (2018)received acclaim, but they’re the exception. Parents who aren’t the protagonists of a contemplative journey with a younger person get an even more raw deal. Protagonists often have seemingly absent parents who are likely to leave them orphaned....

Max for Netflix on PS3 gives you someone to talk to

Siri, call me ‘Space Jam’ The PlayStation 3 Netflix app is getting a Siri-like chatterbox you can talk to on lonely nights and feel less divorced from the rest of humanity. The “personalized conversation experience,” Max, can help you find things to watch based on genre or actor, or it can deliver a random movie it thinks you’ll like based on your browsing history. I feel like, even if I wanted to use it, Max’s “amusing” personality and delivery would wear thin quickly....

Mega Man Arena promises Super Smash-esque combat

Four players, nine characters My first real web project (that wasn’t a DBZ fansite I coded with rudimentary HTML) was aMega Manhub I started with a good friend of mine as kids. I provided most of the content (guides, news) with some coding support and he did the heavy code lifting, and it all went pretty swimmingly until our host decided to go out of business. All along the way, we kept dreaming up ideas for aMega Manfighting game that expanded uponthe minigame concept in7, and the end result nearly two decades later looks a little something likeMega Man Arena....

Phantasy Star Online 2 is doing pretty well

Phantasy Star Online 2is doing pretty well in Japan, as Sega has announced that there are now one million registered users. To celebrate, Sega is giving out in-game prizes, t-shirts, general swag and two laptops to a select number of players who log in between October 17th and November 7th. While it’s easy to remain skeptical and say “well, it’s free, so one million isn’t impressive,” just think about how that number will grow when it’s released overseas officially, and how much money Sega is making from micro-transactions....

When I think of classic films of triumph, the Jean-Claude Van Damme classic filmBloodsportcomes to mind. It’s this spirit thatSupremacy MMAconjures up with a passion.

Kung Fu Factory has chosen not to compete with the giants of Electronic Arts and THQ, but rather create a different game altogether....
