Back whenPowerWash Simulatorfirst launched in 2022, I sat in front of my PC for a whole month in the summer, spraying down an array of objects and locations while catching up onCritical Roleon my other monitor. It was a good time that I’m incredibly nostalgic for. Since then, I’ve continued to return to PowerWash Simulator, spending plenty of time in both multiplayer andthe many DLC packs that have been releasedover the years....

Both theSilent HillandResident Evilseries have played a key role in establishing the foundation that supports the survival horror genre. They’re both survival horror games; however, their approaches to the concept are distinctly different. Resident Evil often features trained soldiers fighting monstrous mutations, where running is a viable option, but so is combat. Silent Hill typically traps everyday people in a supernatural nightmare world, where fighting should only be a last resort....

Last month,TheGamerreported how,despite its massive controversyamong hardcoreNintendofans and physical game collectors, some people were already gettingNintendo Switch 2game key cardsgraded by authentication services in the hopes of cashing in years down the line for an enormous haul. That’s important context, because one Nintendo fan is hoping to cash in on a rare collection piece — the legendary and extremely rare 1990 Nintendo World Championship competition cartridge. This Not-For-Retail Game Can Be Yours For Just $70,000 In a new story from The Telegram, it was revealed that Brad Mouland, a long-time video game fanatic and retro game collector, managed to get his hands on the ultra-rare gray competition cartridge of the 1990 Nintendo World Championship game for the NES....

We haven’t received a proper Wolfenstein game since 2019’sWolfenstein: Youngbloodand its VR accompaniment Wolfenstein: Cyberpilot, with developer MachineGames moving on to other projects and seemingly leaving the property behind. And yet, a Wolfenstein adaptation has perhaps never beensotimely. That’s why it’s good news that Amazon has greenlit yet another video game adaptation, which will be joiningFallout,God of War, andMass Effecton the streaming platform.Wolfensteinisgetting a TV show produced by Kilter Films, the same studio behind the critically acclaimed and much beloved Fallout series, which may bode well for its eventual success....

Franchises with some of the most famous characters in the world have worked with Jazwares to turn those characters intoSquishmallows.Marvelhasn’t really been one of them, though. It would appear that’s all about to change, asSpider-ManandVenomSquishmallows have just appeared unannounced on Amazon. Marvel fans spotted the new Squishmallows late on Friday night. Despite the lack of an official announcement from Marvel or Squishmallows, both Spider-Man and Venom’s squishy new plushes are already available to buy....

Summary By this point, it’s no secret thatStellar Bladeis one raunchy game, and that’s with the gamenot even making its debut on PC just yet. It’s arguably the only game of its kind tohave its main character judge you for staring too much, and certainly one of the few topush an update to make the physics even more raunchy than they were already. That’s not even consideringthe Nier update, and its upskirt feature....

The launch of theNintendo Switch 2has been a resounding success.It quickly becamethe fastest-selling console of all time, leading many retailers to sell out (and some totry to sell long-discontinued consoles in its place), and the momentum has continued post-launch.Nintendo’s pre-launch handling was questioned by fans, though, with players unhappy with certain aspects of the new console,namely Game-Key Cards, but that didn’t stop it from selling like hotcakes. One of the biggest quandaries for Nintendo, given its hugely successful back catalog of Nintendo Switch titles and the new power of the Switch 2, was compatibility....

Quick Links It takes a lot of equipment to maintain a giant mobile base on an exoplanet that’s hostile to human life. InThe Alters, you have to keep all of that gear in good working order by yourself (and yourself, and yourself, and yourself). When resources get tight, you may find that you have to go without some items to make sure that other, mission-critical materiel is always available. The game offers a lot of different things to craft, and you need to be smart about what you build....

Last year,Balatrocompletely took over the world, introducing many players to the roguelike deckbuilding genre with its flashy animations, extremely satisfying gameplay loop, and catchy music. If you were one such player, you may be intrigued to know that there is a whole world of options within the roguelike deckbuilding genre, and some that you may like even more than Balatro. While Balatro is incredible in its own right, other games like Slay the Spire or Monster Train require a bit more strategy and actual deckbuilding to succeed, making for a more mentally satisfying experience....

We’ve been getting a lot of remasters and remakes lately, to the point where it’s getting hard to differentiate the two. Typically, a remaster is when the game is functionally the same, but has updated graphics or audio, while a remake fully rebuilds the game from the ground up, using a modern engine, and often with new content or mechanics. That said, some remasters use a new engine, while some remakes work exactly like the original game, so you’re forgiven if you’re able to’t tell the difference....

It is officially summer, which meansblockbuster movies, massivegame releases, and, uh, themed skins inMarvel Rivals. Because nothing quite says “Welcome to Summer” like seeingThe Punisher wearing a speedo that has a Punisher skull logo covering up his, um, little punisher. While the arrival of the skins has caused quite a stir in the Rivals community, specifically due to its pricing strategy, there’s another stir ongoing, and it has everything to do with theOne Pieceanime and manga....

Pokemonis massively popular around the world, so you can expect to see Pokemon plushes almost everywhere! From life-size plushies to pocket-sized buddies, there is a plush for pretty much every Pokemon out there. Which plushes are the rarest though? Here, we are going to take a look at some of the rarest and most expensive Pokemon plushes out there. For the most part, these are pretty unobtainable; some were limited for a certain period of time, making them impossible to buy directly from the official source....

Pokemon fans love to speculate about what’s next for their favorite pocket monsters. We’ve seen hundreds of new Pokemon introduced and old classics get new forms, evolutions, and regional variants. From Gigantamax forms that turn a Pokemon into a titan to Mega Evolutions that grant them incredible power, it seems like everyone is getting an upgrade. Yet, among the original 151, a surprising number of classics have been left behind. While they might be overlooked for now, the potential for them to get a new look is as exciting as ever, and I’ve brewed up some thoughts on what I’d like to see for every left-behind family....
