I have been thinking about the same thing and I have no answers. My immediate reaction was that these games are Game Pass bait, hoping to get picked up on a subscription service and they get paid that...

Nice write-up as always. I played through this a few years ago on Switch, mostly because I wanted to play Super Metroid but this needed to be played before it, even though the story is mostly non-exi...

Tango Gameworks has put out 4 games in 10 years (and, according to Wikipedia, one mobile game in addition to that). That is excellent output in these times where it seems that for most studios it tak...

@bigsocrates: They're small markets but not that small. Games and software obviously don't need to be translated so if something is needed regulation-wise it's probably just a few legal documents that...

I was quite flabbergasted to learn that there are EU countries where PSN is not available. Is that even legal under EU laws? I suspect that at least these countries will be soon fixed by Sony as there...

Passionate people don't work for Microsoft. They can buy teams that sued to be passionate, but that is a company where people go to make money for as long they keep getting paid. I don't know if it's...

I've got nothing to add except that screw everybody who's been defending consolidation under Microsoft, usually with the argument that it's good for developers who get to take more risks, and good fo...

Maybe if they get to Season 3 and people still say that it's good, I'll see if I can squeeze all of it into one month of Prime. I'm really not a fan of this modern trend where a season is 6-8 episode...

@bigsocrates: PUBG was a game that barely worked at all. Same goes for DayZ, there's a ton of these games on Steam from no-name publishers that have more players that they can support. Meanwhile what ...

Gaming is bigger than it's ever been. If you take 8% out of a very big number, you might still have more than you need. I think the reality is that you have these types of players who play literally o...

Once again a fantastic write-up, one that is nevertheless hard to read. I loved that game, but in all honestly I remember almost nothing of it. I remember that in the first dungeon, there is sort of ...

I have been thinking about this too and I have three reasons, none of them particularly good. First off, I'm very poor at estimating how I spend my time. Many games are above 20 hours these days and t...

@av_gamer: @ben_h: Sorry I misread the situation then. I'm seeing a lot of people on social media blaming Nintendo for the whole thing and framing the Yuzu people as some kids that don't deserve to be...

Sounds like there is nothing terribly wrong with the game which means that it's better than expected for me. Looking forward to picking it up from a sale or some subscription service. If it has a lon...

I don't get how Nintendo suing pirates would be in any way a hot mess, unless you were implying that the pirates are the ones that messed up. When you are emulating games that are currently available...

There's no doubt SEO value in being at the "how to do X in popular video game" search results but it feels that IGN and Youtube already have that thing covered. I've been using the IGN guides a few t...

Damn this was sad to read. In my mind MDK2 is maybe the best game that I never played. That's not entirely true as I played it for maybe 30 minutes when I had been drinking some years ago, but it was...

With releases like Mario vs Donkey Kong, Super Mario RPG and Luigi's Mansion 2, I get the impression that Nintendo has been scraping at the bottom of the barrel for release for a while already. Not s...

The past week must have been their worst one yet in terms of hardware sales as they let speculation run wild, I agree with the previous poster that this could have basically been a Twitter update. Fee...

Great write-up again. I feel the same way that while Pikmin 3 is still a fun game, it's a little too smooth for my taste, except that the final boss is some nightmare fuel that I really was not expect...
