However, one thing that could make this experience even better is being able to play a multiplayer version with my wife. WhileCyberpunk 2077was initially going to have a multiplayer component, it vanished like a fart in the wind. However, that hasn’t stopped me from fantasizing about what could have been....

Level-5’s big post-Yokai cross-media project, Snack World, might finally be coming west

Toys, TV, games You probably haven’t heard ofSnack Worldyet unless you follow the Japanese game industry closely, but given how hard Level-5 pushes their wares, you will, if it comes west.

Rated by way of the Australian Classification Board, this is the first evidence of a westwardSnack Worldlocalization....

M. Bison and Chun-Li rise to the top as Street Fighter V tiers congeal

Have you latched onto a loser? I take my fighting game tier lists with a grain of salt, and not the upset/bitter/meme kind. This is not any sort of distrust in the peer-developed meta, though it can be “wrong,” or at least narrow-minded, with alleged balance issues sometimes working themselves out with new counter strategies and so on. No, my grain stems from the fact that my fighting game character choices are always aesthetic....

Mario & Luigi: Dream Team is full of horrible Luigi puns

They’re just so charming, and it’s looking likeDream Teamis no different, based on my recent hands-on time. The premise is that the brothers along with Princess Peach are on vacation in Pi’illo Island.

Mass Effect metaporn: Strip clubs in the future will still be poorly lit

The above clip demonstratesMass Effect’sstunning slutty-aliens-designed-to-pander-to-teens rendering system. Then again, maybe we’re being too cynical. After all, it would be unrealistic to think the future wouldn’t also have strip clubs, and that those strip clubs wouldn’t also still use that crappy blue and red stage lighting designed to hide trackmarks and facial twitches brought on by mainlining cocktails of Red Bull and cocaine.Then again, as isour wont, I’m going to have to knockMass Effectdown a few pegs for assuming strippers would still be downing Red Bull and blow and gyrating in lackadaisical patterns that seem to repeat indefinitely....

Play digital board games with physical DICE+

Roll those micro USB-charged LED-faced bones I love rolling dice. Gathering up a hoard of plastic polyhedra, rattling them around in my hands, spilling them on a table, and subsequently sorting through and interpreting the results is one of more satisfying aspects of tabletop gaming that isn’t often replicated when board games make the switch to digital. Sure, virtual dice rollers are faster and less messy, but they lack the immediate physicality of real dice....
