Earlier this month, an anonymous Reddit user popped up with claims of having seen a Switch 2 model firsthand.

My life changed when I first played Final Fantasy VII in the late ‘90s. The narrative-focused RPG chronicling the struggle of misfit adventurers on a quest to save the world held my attention like little else. Its slow-burn story told through text boxes on pre-rendered backgrounds, all backed by a soaring melodic…
After more than three years of waiting, today the new season of Squid Game is finally on Netflix for our masochistic viewing pleasure.

Teamwork in Marvel Rivals is essential. Coordinating with your teammates to devise a strategy for the perfect Ace kill is a great way to play, and both voice and text chat make that easier. Of course, sometimes you don’t want to listen to the occasional toxic jerk or someone unaware their microphone is on. Muting…
The LittleBigPlanet franchise effectively died earlier this year when Sony took down the servers for and later delisted LBP3. But a group of self-described “hobbyists” are working on Restitched, a game that will likely be just what some sad LBP fans are missing. And a new trailer for it arrived as a last-minute…
