If you fancy getting traumatized this morning, watch the above video. It’s the opening moments ofFinal Fantasy: Type 0and it will tear away everything that you’ve ever held as good because a Chocobo gets totally f*cked up in it. It’s been a while since I’ve seen such a bloody and dismal scene inFinal Fantasy, but the fact that it goes so far as to kill a Chocobo is bound to ruin a few mornings....
Mine is EarthBound and I can’t believe it There are21 gamesincluded on the SNES Classic — which one are you most into right now? My playing habits have been all over the placesince the mini console launched. I beatMega Man X‘s iconic intro after booting up the system. (Ahh, it’s so good!) I meticulously cleared the expectation-setting opening level inSuper Ghouls ‘n Ghostswith much-needed assistance from the rewind feature. I finished all ofDonkey Kong Countrybecause, dang, that game is way shorter than I remember....
I wouldn’t say I’m necessarily “out of shape” as much as I’m not “in shape.” There was a time when I’d hit the gym, lifting things up and putting them back down in an effort to make myself look as much like mySmackdown vs. Rawcreated wrestler as possible. Now married with a family and a full-time videogame writer, I’ve since (mostly) given up that dream. But I did buyWii Fit, and from what I understand, it’s going to tell me whether or not I’m fat (note: I’m totally not)....

Ziggurat Interactive and Limited Run Games have announced that their two-for-one classic pack,A Boy and His Blob Retro Collectionwill release on Switch, PS4, and PS5 on July 29, 2025. A PC version is in the works for a later date. A Boy and His Blob: Trouble on Bloboloniawas released on the NES in 1990, and it’s an odd one for the time period. In a lot of ways, it feels more like an early home computer game than a late NES title....
No teammate screwing it up, either What do you do if this goal gets scored on you right off the bat? Do you just rage quit? Is there even any rage, knowing that this opponent clearly has you bested? Do you just hang your head and walk home? Really, its upside-down, flying awesomeness reminds me of this recent soccer goal. (Okay, this whole post was actually just an excuse to link the soccer video on a gaming site....
Grand Theft Auto(the game) is fun as is, but a series about breaking the law naturally only gets better when you also break its own rules. The developers probably knew about this, and that’s why they’ve always filled everyGrand Theft Autowith some of the best cheats in the history of video games. Cheat codes in video games feel almost like a product of a bygone era, but that was one hell of an era, so let’s reminisce about some of the most hilarious cheats in this cheat-prone franchise....
Stay out of Davey Jones’ locker Get ready to moisten your diving gear, asCamel 101has given us a peak at their upcoming FPS horror title,Beneath.Beneathbills itself as an “action-horror adventure” and is coming to PC, followed by Xbox Series X|S and PS5. Playing as deep-sea diver Noah Quinn, you stumble across an underwater research facility in the ocean’s murky depths. I’d really be interested in seeing a game about a research facility that is just operating without issue and maybe just developing flavors of drink mix, but of course, this one is infested with monsters....
Look at that skinny little thang Time for a newTitanfallmech reveal. This time it’s the Stryder,another one “designed” byHammond Robotics. The Stryder is said to outperform all other Titans in speed, acceleration, and agility. Plus it can secure rapid deployment objectives faster than other Titans. The skinny frame makes me think it’s going to have some pretty weak defenses, which balances out how fast this giant future robot will be....
