[PAX East 2026] Hands-On: “Grave Seasons” has Cultivated a New and Fascinating Type of Farming Sim

by Michael Fertitta | PAX East PC PlayStation 5 Previews Xbox Series X | 0 Comments | 02 Apr 2026

During PAX East, I was given the opportunity to sit down and play through a demo of Grave Seasons and talk with Emmett Nahil, the game’s Narrative Director. While the demo was a bit shorter than I would have liked, I absolutely came away with positive impressions of this title ahead of its August release. Grave Seasons takes the tried and true relationship building and farming elements of the genre and adds a new layer of narrative-driven complexity to keep players invested in the world around them.

[PAX East 2026] Hands-On: “High Times” brings the vibes one donut at a time

by Danreb Victorio | PAX East Previews | 0 Comments | 01 Apr 2026

At its core, High Times is a visual novel where all you really have to do is make donuts for your customers. It definitely has vibes similar to Coffee Talk, but the main difference is Coffee Talk is really all about you playing your role as a café barista while listening to everything your clientele has to tell you. In High Times, your customers expect you to make them feel better with the donuts you serve them.

REVIEW – Get “Super Mario Bros. Wonder – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Meetup in Bellabel Park” if you have people to enjoy it with

While I would stop short of saying you should go out and buy the $80 physical release for the Switch 2 right now if you don’t already own the game, there’s enough here to recommend paying $20 to get the DLC.

[PAX East 2026] Hands-On: “GNAW” packs a prehistoric punch!

by Michael Fertitta | PAX East PC Previews | 0 Comments | 31 Mar 2026

PAX East never ceases to impress me with the sheer amount of indie titles on the show floor, and one of those that caught my attention was a dinosaur-themed Metroidvania called GNAW from Redstart Interactive. I was fortunate enough to play the demo for a half hour and talk with the developers about what compelled them to create this prehistoric adventure, and in the process, I was quickly taught how rusty I am with the genre.

Backyard Baseball was easily one of the standouts at the PAX East 2026 convention floor.

REVIEW – “Fishbowl” is a cozy story of grief and growth during the pandemic

by Danreb Victorio | PC PlayStation 5 Reviews | 0 Comments | 30 Mar 2026

Fishbowl is a story about grief during a big life transition, and it just so happens to take place at a time when almost everybody was hoping things would go back to the way they were.

REVIEW – “Homura Hime” may soothe your desire to play a new NieR

by Chris Penwell | Articles PC Reviews | 0 Comments | 27 Mar 2026

Homura Hime is a great detour as we wait for bigger and better character action games to release. It’s refreshing to play an action title that isn’t a Soulslike yet still offers stunning, visually impressive boss battles. While the lack of English voice acting is disappointing, the characters are likeable despite a weird storyline that goes too crazy for its own good.

REVIEW – “MLB The Show 26” hits it out of the park with inclusivity

by Chris Selogy | Nintendo Switch PlayStation 5 Reviews Xbox Series X | 0 Comments | 27 Mar 2026

I’ve been playing the MLB The Show series for nearly 20 years at this point–since they rebranded their MLB series to MLB The Show on the PS2. It’s been impressive to watch the series evolve into a top-tier licensed sports…

INTERVIEW – “Mega Man Star Force Legacy Collection” devs talk about who the collection is for in addition to other gaming influences

by Danreb Victorio | Features | 0 Comments | 26 Mar 2026

A quick Q&A with Game Director Koji Oda and Producer Shingo Izumi about Mega Man Star Force Legacy Collection, and it was great hearing about what why the Star Force games got the Legacy Collection treatment, along with who its for, how it’s been improved, and what kind of nuances we might expect to see in the upcoming Mega Man: Dual Override.

Hands-On: “Tomodachi Life: Living The Dream – Welcome Version”

by Kayla Merritt | Nintendo Switch Previews | 0 Comments | 25 Mar 2026

omodachi Life: Living the Dream Welcome Version is a demo of the upcoming Nintendo Switch life simulator that gives you a little sample of what the game is like. It’s about an hour long and starts you out with creating your Mii, getting your island set up, and starting relationships with other Miis on your island. It doesn’t get too in-depth into what makes this game special, but it gives audiences a little taste of what’s to come.

REVIEW – “Mega Man Star Force Legacy Collection” won’t change OG Mega Man fans’ minds, but it’s a shining example of how to preserve DS games

by Kayla Merritt | Nintendo Switch PC PlayStation 4 PlayStation 5 Reviews Xbox One Xbox Series X | 0 Comments | 25 Mar 2026

Mega Man Star Force Legacy Collection serves as a blueprint for how developers can bring DS titles to modern systems. The collection, which comprises multiple versions of the three Mega Man Star Force games, is a unique time capsule of a very different type of Mega Man game that’s a bit of a continuation of the Battle Network series while also changing things up for the DS. It’s definitely a mixed bag and not for everyone, but there’s directions here that developers can take when rescuing their lost DS libraries and bringing them to current audiences.

REVIEW – “Virtua Fighter 5 REVO: World Stage” rises to the occasion

by Patrick Mifflin | Nintendo Switch 2 PC PlayStation 5 Reviews Steam Xbox Series X | 0 Comments | 25 Mar 2026

Virtua Fighter 5: Final Showdown will go down as a “forever game” and a true icon of the end of the arcade era, but perhaps due to said end of the arcade era, Sega didn’t seem to care to follow up on it, leaving it as the main Virtua Fighter title throughout the entirety of the 2010s.
