I’ve fallen offPokemon TCG Pocket. It was only natural that the initial hype would die down, but it’s got to the point where I’ve cancelled my premium subscription and I’m lucky if I remember to open my two packs a day any more. Hang on a minute, let me- nope, all commons. Somehow, I’ve still been able to get my hands on theimmersive art Buzzwole ex– it’s almost like the game is tempting me back with big cards....

While theMetal Gearseries may be named after oversized war machines, it’s actually about a group of Snakes. These aren’t actual Snakes, however, they’re human operatives that use the Snake codename. They don’t just give that name to any random scrub. The ones that have held it in the Metal Gear series are incredible warriors that could easily best the average soldier in combat. So, they’re all impressively strong. Yet, how do they all compare to one another?...

Shadow Labyrinthis far fromPac-Man’sfirst reinvention. In the 45 years since his 1980 debut, Pac-Man has starred in both side-scrollers and 3D platformers. He has his own Tetris-style block game, a quiz game, a point-and click-adventure, party game, pinball, kart racing, and three battle royales. We’ve seen multiple redesigns of Pac-Man over the years in his journey from the arcade to 3D (including some I’d like to forget). The original Pac-Man will always be the most iconic, but Bandai Namco has never stopped trying to stretch him in new directions....

Shadow Labyrinth WHERE TO PLAY Shadow Labyrinthis not a game for everyone. I’m mentioning this right at the top, because for the rest of this review, I’m going to be describing things that sound obtuse and frustrating as if they’re feats of genius game design. Both things can be true, after all. The sci-fi horrorMetroidvaniareimagining ofPac-Man, if nothing else, contains multitudes. Spinning off from the Secret Level short Pac-Man: Circle (or vice versa,depending on which interview you believe), Shadow Labyrinth is an ode to Namco’s arcade classics and a surprisingly meaty new entry in Bandai Namco’s obscure UGSF shared universe, presented in the unforgiving and at times hostile format that defined the games of the Namco era....

Mario Kart Worldhas been a hit launch game for theNintendo Switch 2and will undoubtedly be something millions of us are playing for years to come. It’s far from perfect, though, and it sounds like kart racing competitorSonic Racing: CrossWorldswill intentionally try to improve on one of the areas of Mario Kart World players have been complaining about most. Legendary Sonic producer Takashi Iizuka spoke withGamesRadarabout CrossWorlds, going into specific details about item use in the game....

Many fans have noticed stark similarities between theHorizonseries and developer Polaris Quest’s debut title, Light of Motiram, since itsannouncement back in November 2024. It appearsSonyhas now realized and put publisherTencenton notice in a new lawsuit. The lawsuit was filed by Sony (caught byGameSpot) in California, and it sees Sony going after Light of Motiram for copyright and trademark infringement. Sony allegedly doesn’t want Light of Motiram to see the light of day, as it’s actively attempting to prevent the debut title’s launch....

You might think theNintendo Switch 2launch month charts aren’t worth looking at since they’ll all just haveMario Kart Worldat the top of the pile. Despite the console’s first game dominating physical sales throughout June, though, it has had to settle for third place in the eShop chart behindDeltarune, and yes, really,Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour. That’s according toa new report courtesy of Newzoo, which has pulled launch month Switch 2 eShop data from six leading markets, including the US and the UK....

Something amazing is happening with theTeenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. There’s never been a shortage of Ninja Turtle games out there, but for a couple of decades now, the boys have not been at their best. Other than cameo appearances inCall of Dutyand a few fighting games (as well as Smite, for some reason), TMNT has had it pretty rough in the video game world. That changed in 2022 with the back-to-back releases ofShredder’s RevengeandThe Cowabunga Collection, a pair of critically acclaimed titles that celebrated the history of the Ninja Turtles' very best games, and revitalized them for the modern era....

Destined Rivals is probably one of the most excitingPokemon TCGreleases in years, given that Team Rocket appears as the main focus ofthe most beautiful cards in the set.It’s not the first time Team Rocket has featured heavily among the main chase cards in the set, as ex Team Rocket Returns and the original Team Rocket set both gave ussome iconic Rocket cards. Besides the famous references like the return of Team Rocket’s Mewtwo, there are a few cards in Destined Rivals that give a nod to some unusual vintage cards....

Revenge of the Savage Planetis a lighthearted adventure that revels in not taking itself seriously, but it also fits into the rare sub-subgenre of 3D Metroidvanias. While 2D Metroidvanias are hard to miss, the 3D variety is much trickier to track down if you’re a fan. Thanks to this rare subgenre, as well as the unique tone Revenge of the Savage Planet goes for, it’s pretty hard to find games to compare it to....

It’s been a bit since we’ve last hadsome significant newsregardingUbisoft’s planned remake ofPrince of Persia: The Sands of Time. However, that has now changed, as the officialPrince of Persiasocial media account has re-affirmed that the game is still in the works, along with a thank you to the fans who’ve stuck around. It’s not a significant update by any means, but it’s good to know that the game is still in development as planned....

I can’t help but adore the Adoring Fan inOblivion Remastered. He’s intended to be an annoying joke, and someone who intentionally irritates us. There are countless clips and memes about the many ways players can kill the character, and I even remember locking him away in the basement of my Bruma houseback when I played Oblivion as a kidso he could pester me no longer. But since then, I’ve come around....
