You wouldn’t know it watching Ryota “Kazunoko” Inoue play him in Dragon Ball FighterZ, though. During a match at this weekend’s Summit of Power, Kazunoko was reduced…

The Sims 3 Sucks

One of the favorite pastimes of The Sims’ community is to talk about how good the older games are. While there are things about The Sims 4 that I don’t love, I’m not as nostalgic as other fans. Every time I think about The Sims 3, for instance, all I can remember is how much…

Sushi Striker: The Way of Sushido, a new Nintendo puzzle game, is an excellent, challenging adventure set in a silly anime world where sushi is illegal.

On the eve of a new Super Smash Bros. game, it’s time to reflect on the sins of past Smashes. We can quibble over whether Bayonetta should have been in Smash 4. We can beef about Super Smash Bros.
