Sure, League of Legends' Shyvana rework is finally here, but did Riot just talk about Twisted Treeline?
I was there the day that Riot removed Twisted Treeline from League of Legends. It’s etched into my soul as a #BadDay: the day, to quote American Pie, that the music (a medley of toxicity) died. “Is Twisted Treeline coming back?” is like “Silksong?” for OG LoL fans: it’s in every AMA, every stream, and every conversation. In its latest devblog showcasing the new Shyvana rework, head of League studio Andrei ‘Meddler’ van Roon and executive producer Paul ‘Pabro’ Bellezza have finally answered the one question we’ve been asking: and the answer isn’t a no. Sure, there’s the Shyvana rework…

I spent the weekend with the gaming keyboard that broke my heart, but it's not just a free copy of Resident Evil Requiem that has me running straight back into its arms
Three years ago I sat in front of the Asus ROG Azoth and knew it was going to be a winner. That mechanical 75%-er so perfectly fused the worlds of custom decks and the best gaming keyboards it seemed like nothing would ever top it. And, for a long time, nothing did.In the years since, Asus has released new versions with ever-increasing price tags, adding white colorways, new switches, wrist rests, and strange space-themed designs. None of them truly captured that hazy summer of love with the original… until I sat across from the latest release this weekend. The Asus…

Sorry Nintendo, I can't get on board with the Game Boy Jukebox while we're still waiting for a proper retro handheld remake
For a second, the new Game Boy Jukebox trailer tricked me into thinking the OG best retro handheld contender was finally getting the remake it deserves. Instead, Nintendo decided to shatter my dreams of a revamp by revealing an elaborate novelty Pokemon music player that adds salt to my wounds by using cartridges. Yes, it’s cute, but I think I can speak for the console’s dedicated fans when I say we’re long overdue for a Game Boy Classic Edition.Okay, here’s my main beef with the Game Boy Jukebox, as it extends beyond me just wanting a tiny remake of the…
Hooded Horse's terrific 4X strategy game Old World is getting another big DLC expansion set in south Asia
Hooded Horse and Mohawk Games have announced a new expansion for their resolutely pre-modern 4X strategy game Old World. It’s called Empires of the Indus, and as you may guess, it concerns the nations and cultures that once flourished along the banks of the river Indus, running through central and south Asia. Nations and cultures like “the mighty Mauryas, who founded one of the greatest Iron Age empires under the rule of Emperor Ashoka” and “the nomadic horse lords of the Yuezhi who transformed the region as the Kushan Empire”.
