I am a bit of a curmudgeon when it comes to the Star Wars franchise, but not in the way that a lot of people are. There’s a certain curmudgeonly streak of people that have existed more or less since 1983 with a very specific idea in their minds about what the films, books, games,
The 2023 convention season is starting up all around the globe again. After several years of digital events, organizers are slowly opening their convention doors again.

I can’t express how excited I was when I was told I would get to preview Don’t Nod’s new narrative adventure game. Life is Strange is one of my favorite series and, given my affinity for visual novels and the like, this sounded like an amazing opportunity. However, I have to admit that Harmony: The
HoYoverse, the publisher of Genshin Impact, has dropped its first lore trailer for Honkai Star Rail. Outside of a link to the YouTube video of the lore trailer, the official page simply had this following text: “Countless shooting stars streak across the night sky… If you can pick the right one, it will carry your
Every live service game needs them: seasonal events. In the case of Destiny 2, these events happen each calendar and in-game season with the Spring event starting on May 2.

I’ve always been a fan of the occult. Fortune telling, folk magic, fell creatures from beyond, a world lurking just beyond our own. So when I saw Devolver was publishing a new game all about these themes, of course I was interested. The developers, Destructeam, are no newcomers either, having made Gods Will Be Watching
Megan Everett is a cheerful, knowledgeable breath of fresh air, who also happens to be the Community Director over at Digital Extremes, the developer and publisher for Warframe.

10 Years of the Tenno The game Warframe has a rags-to-riches story. After Dark Sector was released, developer Digital Extremes wanted to use the ideas that publishers had removed from Dark Sector and craft a game that was truly theirs.
