Overnight, Retroachievements launched its Gamecube support.

I would expect those records to be broken again this evening, as more people get involved and the temporary teething issues of last night…

Thankfully, Let’s School treks out on its…

At the start of the year, I did a list of ten games I couldn’t wait to play in 2024. Some of those games have come out and some of them haven’t.

I really enjoyed this handheld game, but would it be just as much fun…
