That episode reimagined Pac-Man not as a happy arcade hero, but as something darker and stranger. So when I saw that Shadow Labyrinth was actually turning that idea into a full game, I knew … Read More

Before i’d had the chance to get hand’s on, I never thought I’d be able to say that Cyberpunk 2077 runs great on a Nintendo handheld. In fact, it doesn’t just run—it shines. After … Read More

Back in the anime’s heyday, I spent countless hours battling it out in the Bleach DS games, and for years, I kept hoping we’d see the series return to the world of video games.

Everyone knows that the franchise is huge, but we’re entering one of those Dragon Ball resurgences right now that I haven’t experienced since 2015 when Dragon Ball Super began and the production of Dragon Ball games started to ramp up again.
