Why Everyone Thought Fable was Getting Revealed Today
Social media is difficult. Imagine all the daily misinterpretations you have from just talking to people with the added contexts of vocal intonation, body language, and the ability to quickly clarify what you mean and then strip all those away in favor of a megaphone that reads out statements in…

Apparently There’s a New Ghost Recon Game and It’s Already Delayed
Last week, apropos of nothing, Ubisoft revealed the latest Ghost Recon title in their long line of Tom Clancy-branded military shooters. Unlike previous games, Ghost Recon Frontline did not have a single-player focus, but rather fashions itself as a free-to-play battle royale. Its announcement earlier this month had mixed reactions, but was accompanied…

Riot Patches Out All-Chat From Some League of Legends Matches
It’s no secret that online harassment during competitive games is a fairly pervasive issue. Sometimes people log into a game with every intent and hope of getting better and having fun and find themselves abused out of wanting to ever play again by a rival team. Sometimes there’s no good…

Monster Hunter Rise Cross-Save Not Possible Right Now, Says Capcom
This year’s Switch debut of Monster Hunter Rise is one of the biggest console releases this year, setting sales records for Capcom just one month after release.

Super Monkey Ball: Banana Mania Rolls Along at its Own Pace
I have no idea who the audience for Super Monkey Ball: Banana Mania is. The new Sega release, which brings the seemingly most-beloved Monkey Ball titles from the early 2000s into a remastered modern package, certainly has a lot of eager fans. Those fans have very exacting standards for what a collection and…

Titanfall Developer Respawn Calls Out Titanfall Developer Respawn Over Titanfall Development Possibilities
God, Titanfall 2 was such a good game. It’s almost criminal how much the 2016 first-person shooter, the first in the series to have a single-player narrative campaign, was overlooked by audiences. It makes sense that developer Respawn would shake things up with Apex Legends and Jedi Fallen Order considering, but fans have…

New Kirby Game Leaked from Nintendo’s Website

Deltarune: Chapter 2 is a Declaration for the Future
I don’t think there will one day be such a thing as a new Undertale. That theory’s not literal, of course. Deltarune’s first chapter launched a few years ago and is, by most definitions, the sequel to Undertale. That original 2015 indie RPG was too much of a perfect storm…
