It’s funny, I fundamentally dislike the way Kirby Air Riders controls, and yet I don’t respect anyone who dislikes Smash Bros.

Forget GTA VIβ€”The Best Open-World Games Are Boring on Purpose Boring isn't a bugβ€”it's the secret weapon behind the best open-world experiences. Who needs explosions and side quests when leisurely walking or driving feels this good?

Anyway here's some other cool open-world games to enjoy in the meantime www.pcmag.com/opinions/for...

A Female Protagonist Is Exactly What Grand Theft Auto VI Needs The introduction of Lucia Caminos presents an exciting opportunity for Rockstar Games to approach the Grand Theft Auto series from a fresh perspective.

GTA 6 is genuinely an economic load-bearing pillar of reality at this point

Elected Democrats spending more time today praising Dick Cheney than Zohran Mamdani is a great case study in abject fucking moral failure.

Schumer had a chance to repudiate the gutter racism and Islamophobia of Cuomo's campaign and he just fucking didn't. And that is disqualifying. He should be ashamed and we the voters should make sure he feels that shame.

I Just Sunk Dozens of Hours Into This Fantastic Hack-and-Slash Zelda Game While Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment seems familiar on the surface, it builds upon Age of Calamity's foundation, improving it in just about every way.

We strongly condemn @CondΓ©Nast’s consolidation plans for Teen Vogue, a move that is clearly designed to blunt the award-winning magazine’s insightful journalism at a time when it is needed the most. More from our statement:

My Dream PokΓ©mon Game Is Almost Here. Please, Just Make It Already Unfortunately, this evolution is still incomplete. Modern PokΓ©mon games contain some of the franchise’s most ambitious highs and its most baffling lows. But over the past few entries, beleaguered developer Game Freak has shown that it at least knows what individual innovations are required to make the epic and immersive PokΓ©mon game I’ve always dreamed of. With the tenth generation presumably coming to Nintendo Switch 2, perhaps to celebrate PokΓ©mon's 30th anniversary in 2026, the time has come to bring all those innovations together and execute at last.

Unfortunately, this evolution is still incomplete.

PokΓ©mon Legends: ZA has my favorite PokΓ©mon gameplay to date, it's the most PokΓ©mon has ever felt "real" and I love it for that. But this new PokΓ©mon era has still yet to achieve its full potential, even as it gets achingly close
