Pokémon Pokopia arrives on March 5th, and it's one of the first Pokémon titles that will debut exclusively on the Nintendo Switch 2.

She is the glue that holds our family together. But right now, I am kicking her ass at video game bowling, and it feels good! In the 00s, my mum was the best Wii Bowling player in the world. She was unbeatable. Strike after strike after strike. The Dudette in our family's Big Lebowski.

Doom: The Dark Ages, which just launched this summer, is down to $50.39 (was $70) as part of Amazon's Black Friday 2025 deals--which is one of the better price drops we've seen this year. The brutal shooter earned high marks from critics, and if you haven't yet checked out the latest entry in the storied franchise, it's an easy recommendation at this new price.

Gearbox's Borderlands 4 officially launches on September 12, but it's already available for PC--and on Steam, it's putting up big numbers.

Wheel World focuses on the essence of biking, emphasizing the thrill, freedom, and nostalgia of cycling through a minimalist, core gameplay experience.

Endless Space 2 is a complex space strategy game where players manage different factions, each with unique strategies for dominance, making gameplay diverse and engaging.

The latest game in the series has its flaws, but ultimately improves upon its predecessor in a multitude of ways, with modes like Dynasty, Road to Glory, and the game's renewed emphasis on rivalries honing in on what makes the college football experience unique.

"The terrain destruction system that most sets Donkey Kong Bananza apart from previous 3D platformers is incredibly cathartic, allowing quick reductions of well-ordered chunks of dirt and rock into collectible golden rubble."

I haven't thought much about Starfield or the massive amount of capture I had until a friend told me he needed to clear space and thus deleted all of the videos.

Cox humorously remarked about feeling like a 'total fraud' for recording only a few hours, despite the game's immense success.

I didn't get to play too much of Time Stranger at Summer Game Fest--about 20 minutes in total. After exploring a hub-like area and seeing various Digimon (including a fun Digimon Adventure 02 easter egg of Veemon, Hawkmon, Armadillomon, and Wormmon hanging out together)...

The writing is very sharp in capturing both the inherent silliness of schoolyard teasing and the way it can have a real impact on your mental health.

It took over 10 years to arrive, but Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 didn't disappoint. Its frantic combat and stunning environments have made it a standout title.

Deliverance II is not a game I had pegged as being one of my favorites of the year. But its early-Bethesda-like approach to the genre has captured me.
