Alright, alright, put down your pitchforks: it happened.Dune: Awakeninghas killed me. I can’t stand the sight of all that sand; it’s coarse and rough and, well, you get the picture.

Nothing is off limits. I’m an impulsive buyer, and the bigger and shinier things are, the better. When it comes to games, this often means the most popular titles from the most well-known studios, presuming it falls into a category I like. Sorry, sportsball games, you’re not for me....

Big-budget strategy games can feel like they’re made by committee: safe and a little too predictable. Butindie strategy games? They take risks. They break the rules. And more often than not, they surprise you in ways the big guys won’t. After sinking hundreds of hours into both sides of the spectrum, I’ve found that the most memorable strategy moments often come from smaller studios willing to get weird, bold, or deeply personal....

I’ve bought sevenNintendo Switchconsoles. This is not a flex, it’s a cry for help. That’s almost a Switch per year since 2017. I was 19 when the first Switch was released, living at home with a job and a lot of disposable income, so buying the console at launch wasn’t a huge stretch. In fact, it was the first console I’d ever bought with my own money, and on launch day, so it was particularly special to me....

Summary Marvel RivalsSeason 2.5 is finally here, and NetEase has addressed some of the key concerns that were an issue in Season 2. For starters,pretty much every dive character has had their kneecaps broken, and moreoppressive, unkillable characters like Iron Fist and Captain Americaare a lot more manageable. Sounds pretty good, but the arrival of Ultron may have replaced dive with something a lot worse. Despite being less than a couple of days into the new season, a new meta seems to be emerging that has rendered almost half of the game’s roster essentially useless....
