For years now, I’ve been asked by friends and family how to play PS2 games now that the console is considered “retro.” It’s tempting to simply point towards an original console and give them a big thumbs up, but even if you do have Sony’s 2000s system to hand, replaying PlayStation 2 classics in the […]
2019Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls is an absolute highlight in the tag-team fighting game genre, but good reviews haven’t translated into strong sales in Japan. In fact, it’s reportedly one of developer Arc System Works’ worst performing games on its home turf. Famitsu recently published its estimated sales data for the first two weeks of the […]

2019Alright, that does it; we’re now at the stage where a “Lego” OG Xbox you can’t play games on costs what I’d pay for a real console right now. Yes, somewhere under $400 is what I think is reasonable even for the new 25th anniversary Series X, given that it launched six years ago, but […]
2019If you were worried Anthony and Joe Russo wouldn’t be able to handle the magnitude of Doctor Doom’s universe-shaking arrival in the MCU, think again.
