From the depths of the 90s and early 2000s are several Rugrats games that hold a special place in the hearts of many Nickelodeon fans. Sometimes, games of that era can age well, but the titles in the Rugrats Retro Rewind Collection have spoiled like Tommy’s leftover milk bottle. You may get a kick out of some of the gameplay moments, but it may be best to leave the babies’ adventures in the past.

I don’t really care for coffee. Sorry, I’ve tried. I really have. I can’t stand the taste, nor the texture. I’ve tried it black, I’ve tried it iced, I’ve tried lattes, cappuccinos, mochas, floats, and every other possible way coffee can be consumed… and it just doesn’t do it for me. If I need a caffeine hit, it’s gotta be a soda for me. But you know what I do like? Japan.

It’s been a little over a month since the hype that was Final Fantasy XIV FanFest, and while we definitely felt the FOMO not getting invited, I was living my best life thanks to FFXIV’s out-of-nowhere collaboration with Jollibee. Leading…

As sports games grow ever closer to fully adopting a freemium model, people continue to long for the good old days of arcade sports. I’m a huge NFL fan who got into it by playing countless games of NFL Blitz, then NFL Street a few years after that, and I’m sure there are hardcore NBA fans out there who got their start on NBA Jam and NBA Street. We need those games back, and NBA The Run seems like we’re almost there.

This summer, Square’s H2-2D styles makes its first foray into real-time RPG gameplay with The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales. A mouthful of an endearingly odd title Square’s been known for over recent years, Elliot takes the HD-2D visual style and moves the action from turn-based to reactionary real-time combat. Myles recently had the opportunity to play about an hour of the game during a visit to Square Enix’s offices in Los Angeles and came away excited for the gameplay, but slightly worried about the story.

STARBITES has a lot going for it. The things that bothered me with this game were not fundamental enough to keep me from playing to the very end, and that makes for an overall, convincing win. It has ample charisma, a good message, and plenty of heart.

This is a review that I wasn’t actually expecting to write. I mentioned in passing to our editor that I was interested in Forza Horizon 6, but sort of forgot about it amid a whole lot of other unrelated stuff in my life.

Just take one look at Disgaea Mayhem, and you already know what you’re getting. The game is being marketedlike an action spinoff to their marquee, prinny-filled SRPG, but it’s obviously a musou, and so far, it’s pretty fun.

Our appointment with NIS America during PAX East was one of the opportunities I was most looking forward to, as I got to play Brigandine: Abyss behind closed doors, and it turned out to be quite a humbling experience. Typically, such a punishing demo would make me lose interest, but I can’t shake the feeling that there’s something worthwhile here, especially after the talk I had with the developer after the play session.
