In games, monsters tend to function as disposable roadblocks. Goblins and zombies get slaughtered with impunity just because they stand in the hero’s way. But maybe there’s more to the monsters’ story. Maybe monsters have feelings too. Maybe monsters are just like us; insecure, conflicted, just trying to make sense of the world they’re stuck with....

Corrupted saves are starting to pop up So it’s finally come to this. Animal Crossing: New Horizonsis out, and at this point folks have spent over a month with it. That’s potentially 100+ hours all told with friends, family and loved ones. But lest we forget, Nintendoisn’t allowing direct cloud save backups forNew Horizons.

FAA relaxes electronics use rules I fly at least 120,000 miles a year, every year (this year I’m at almost 170,000!) and I’m playing games on every flight. My 3DS looks like tornado debris from heavy use! A little secret? INEVERshut my games off. When the flight attendants tell us to power down our devices for takeoff, I leave mine on, putting them in standby mode instead. I did this yesterday while playingPokemon Y....

It earned it I don’t really like the phrase “winning E3.” We all win every year, right? With more competition from all corners of the industry, developers and publishers alike thrive, creating new ideas and concepts for us to enjoy. Unless you’ve become completely jaded with video games in general, it is impossible to come away from E3 without a smile on your face. That all said, Platinum Games really rocked it this year....

‘Many people are worried about Bayonetta 3’ One of the things I look forward to the most during each holiday season isFamitsu’s massive “end of year interview” initiative. Typically, Famitsu taps nearly every major Japanese publisher for brief comments on their 2021 goals; some of which dish up huge direct or indirect teases. This year, we got a ton of that. Platinum Games is checking in to tell us a bunch of stuff we already know, but it’s generally good news nonetheless....
