I first encountered the Taiko no Tatsujin series in an arcade in Tokyo, but now it’s even less accessible: it’s out on PC but only via the Microsoft store. If you’re willing to make that journey, you’ll also be greeted by two new DLCs which adds Studio Ghibli tracks and music from classic Bandai Namco

So, James’ Steam Deck review suggests the new handheld PC is pretty good. Good news for Valve, bad news for my wallet. I’ve apparently got a month before I need to commit to buying one, however, according to details laid out by Valve of when emails will go out to those who were first in-line

Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous is an animated series on Netflix that ties into the Jurassic theatrical releases, much like The Clone Wars connects to the Star Wars movies.

Lots of games purport to feel like playable cartoons, but I really do mean it when I say that Happy Juice Games’ delightful point and click adventure Lost In Play feels like a playable cartoon. While the full game isn’t due out until the summer, I can confirm that its 30-minute Steam Next Fest demo

It is important to keep in mind what is going on within Activision Blizzard at this time regarding ongoing allegations about the work culture.

I go long stretches where I forget Starfield exists, but I’m excited everytime I remember. Bethesda games are big, in all dimensions, and I want to see what happens when their new scifi RPG debuts later this year. The thing to remind me this time: an extremely brief video showing the creation of some key

Nate and Chloe each come in two flavors sporting looks representative of

It’s neat that Brothers: A Tale Of Two Sons is free to keep from the Epic Games Store right now. It’s a fun, heartfelt adventure in which you control two characters simultaneously to complete a dangerous journey. You’ve got until February 24th to grab it.

Final Fantasy VI is getting

Each new Disgaea game is a new opportunity to finally get into the strange, brash and thousand-layers deep JRPG series. I’ve yet to manage it, but now Disgaea 6 is making its way to PC.

Wordle is a puzzle game in which your vocabulary and ability to spell allow you to drill towards the solution. It’s surprising how well the same design still works when the letters are replaced by numbers, and you’re instead relying on your ability to add, subtract, multiply and divide.
