A brand new set of Disney Lorcana decks have arrived with the Shimmering Skies expansion. Are these worth playing?

Death Stranding 2 has a photo mode that will influence the way the story plays out. It also has in-game concerts. The attention to detail is incredible. But come on Kojima, I have a life. Games are getting too damn big. I’ve been playing Final Fantasy VII Rebirth since March. It’s one of the best games of the generation and I don’t see that changing. But its need to completely dominate my free time is frustrating. I’ve enjoyed every single…

You don’t need an insider knowledge to know Overwatch has been mismanaged. It’s still nice to know it for definite. Jason Schreier’s new book on Blizzard goes into some detail on the inner workings of Overwatch. He shared a shorter version on Reddit. The further abridged version is that the team behind making Overwatch such a success were cautious in hiring new people in case it changed their company culture. They tried to feed the original Overwatch and make an…

This time, I’m going to suggest something a little different. Nothing better this time of year in New England than cracking open the windows for the fresh fall air and curling up with a good book and a coffee. Well that’s exactly what I did!

It would be all too easy to be snarky about this one, and I wouldn’t be alone.

Horizon still plays as…

Square Enix announced is financials this morning and the outlook isn’t so hot. HD Games – including Final Fantasies XIV and 7 Rebirth – underperformed to the tune of ¥8.1 billion ($57m). This is terrible news for a franchise which has finally found its footing. Those two Final Fantasy games are the best the franchise has been in years. Rebirth, although I’m biased, will likely be this generation’s Red Dead Redemption for me. A game so big, so high quality…
