It’s a technical reason When my positive review ofMega Man 11dropped, there were sighs of relief, gasps of disbelief, and memes. The most prevalent in the latter category was definitely the fixation on Mega Man’s new boss door animation.

The game will reportedly take place across a number of real-world environments, including Tokyo, Venice, and Times Square in New York City....

Hot dog torso I really don’t know how you become the sort of person who would use the fantastic 1982Popeyearcade gamefor evil. If someone told me they were remakingPopeyein 3D, I would think it was a strange concept, but I would never assume ill-intentions. Yet, somehow, Sabec got the license. It’s strange to say they “got the license.”Popeyeis technically in the public domain in Europe and will be in the U....
