Are you fed up with playing manly dudes all the time? Yes, you know what I’m talking about; videogames can be quite testosterone-heavy sometimes. Fortunately, the game landscape is not what it used to be in terms of gender representation, and there are a lot of games led by interesting female characters. As March is the month in which International Women’s Day takes place, it is fitting that Humble Bundle has just launched its new Heroines bundle, giving you six games, including The Medium, which star female protagonists at a fraction of the usual cost (no Lara Croft though – …
Crimson Desert studio CEO Heo Jin-young agrees with shareholders in thinking the open-world game’s narrative needs… help, but developer Pearl Abyss seems to have plans to only improve gameplay issues in future updates.Heo addressed shareholders at a March 27 meeting reported by South Korean news site Yonhap News Agency, and apparently translated into English by a fan. In addition to listing Crimson Desert’s big milestones since launching on March 19 – the open-world game’s sales have already crossed three million copies, and it surpassed 240,000 concurrent players on its best day – Heo is honest about its narrative shortcomings.Crimson Desert…
inZOI has had a bit of a rocky Early Access journey since its March 2025 launch, when PUBG developer Krafton released its ultra-realistic life sim on Steam, from dwindling players to a cozy Stardew Valley-like DLC – and now, a massive new update.The visually impressive competitor to The Sims 4 has been on my mind since director and producer Hyungjun ‘Kjun’ Kim’s confirmation that inZOI is getting multiplayer and some of the most hotly requested features in EA’s own community – like actual, interactive schools. It’s clear Krafton is working hard to implement its promised content now, and its latest…
The Super Mario Galaxy Movie has announced the voice of surprise character inclusion Fox McCloud of the Star Fox video game franchise, and the actor behind the iconic space pilot couldn’t be more perfect. Fox will be voiced by none other than rising superstar Glen Powell of Top Gun: Maverick fame.Powell’s got the presence and the charisma to take on the dashing Fox McCloud, and he’s even got his background as a fighter pilot in Top Gun to bring to the role. In other words, Powell as Fox seems like a slam dunk for the upcoming animated sequel. He announced…
Marvel has confirmed when Daredevil: Born Again season 2 takes place on the MCU timeline – and now we’re even more curious about that “team-up” between Wilson Fisk and Valentina Allegra de Fontaine.So, according to the brand’s official website, the Disney Plus show’s latest batch of episodes, which we’ve already been told plays out around six months after season 1, is set post-Thunderbolts*. Now, Val, as Julia Louis-Dreyfus’s version likes to be called, has always skewed more towards the skeevier side of the morally ambiguous spectrum –pulling strings behind the scenes to ensure personal gain in any scenario.But after the…
I’ve been a Sonic fan since I could walk on two legs and run pretty fast, but showing off my blue-blur fandom on the Nintendo Switch 2 hasn’t really been an option. Besides grabbing the games, the best Nintendo Switch 2 accessories aren’t exactly draped in plenty of imagery of Sonic the Hedgehog and friends like they were with the original Switch.I was about to give up hope, which is when I stumbled on the radically cool Sonic and Shadow Switch 2 Joy-Con kits by CptnAlex Designs. These controllers ingeniously feature Sonic on the left Joy-Con and Shadow on the…
There are plenty of coming-of-age stories, but there’s something especially riveting and oftentimes beautiful about a horror coming-of-age story. In fact, queer horror coming of age stories might just be one of my top five genres. The Serpent’s Skin, the sixth feature film from Australian filmmaker Alice Maio Mackay, is all of that and more, putting a deep, unending love at its very center against a hazy, neon backdrop that feels like early ’90s Greg Araki meets 2016’s Neon Demon.The Serpent’s Skin follows Anna (Alexandra McVicker), as she leaves her transphobic parents behind and goes off to live in the…
The Nintendo 3DS just turned 15, but the anniversary has completely caught me off guard. Yes, it’s technically now what I’d call a best retro handheld contender, and it abdicated its throne back in 2017 to make way for the Switch. However, the fact that mine still lives on my bedside, and companies are now putting out handheld homages, makes the console feel pretty current.I should note that the Nintendo 3DS 15th anniversary marks the gaming handheld’s release in the US, rather than its official Japanese debut. Technically speaking, the dual-screen device arrived on planet Earth on February 26, 2011,…
Formula 1’s next season has officially kicked off, and this weekend the action moves to Japan. Will Ferrari come close to challenging Mercedes or is Oscar Piastri for McLaren the driver to watch after setting a blistering pace in TP2? It’s all very exciting, and I’m showing you how to watch the Japan Grand Prix from anywhere in the world right here.It’s another weekend of high-octane action as the Grand Prix takes place in Japan at the Shanghai International Circuit. Shaped after the Chinese symbol for “shang”, which means upwards, Formula1.com says it’s just as pleasing for the drivers to…
Video games, or more so the people who play them, I suppose, have this annoying thing where they assign a genre name as an insult. I don’t want to reignite the discourse around JRPG as a term, but it certainly was used in quite a derisive and othering manner in its earlier years. The term walking sim was used more as a point of ironic degradation, even though it was perfectly apt in many ways. Then there’s Eurojank, a sort of real but not technically real genre that describes ambitious but imperfect games made by European developers. And Andrii…
