Patrick Sounds Off: Fight For Your Digital Rights

A recent, short comment thread on my last video got me to thinking, what would it actually take to bring me around on Switch 2 game-key cards? I was surprisingly able to come up with an honest and feasible answer,…

“despelote” Review

There’ll be plenty of times in life you’ll be chilling with people you don’t know, doing things you don’t care about, but they’ll still be memorable. That’s exactly what despelote is. I don’t like soccer, but I created my own vibe doing idiotic things, and that’s totally okay. I didn’t have the best time, and I didn’t have the worst time, but I’ll remember it.

“Rematch” Hands-On

Rematch takes the kinetic energy and mechanical depth of their past combat-focused games and funnels it into a 5v5 competitive soccer experience.

“The Hundred Line: Last Defense Academy” Review

This isn’t what it looks like. No really, I’m serious. I know what you’re thinking right now, especially with these screenshots and with these character designs. You’re having thoughts of Danganronpa and all the ridiculousness that goes with it. I…

After two months, the conclusion to Don’t Nod’s spiritual successor to Life is Strange is finally here, and it’s a rough misstep for players who think they have a full understanding of the “choose your own adventure” style.

“Assassin’s Creed Shadows” Review

A lot of people in the industry have their eyes on Ubisoft. Since 2023, the company has seen their headcount reduced by over 17,000 workers. It would be irresponsible to say that this is solely due to recent games not…

The Switch 2 Day Cheat Sheet

Nintendo broke the internet this morning with their Switch 2-focused Nintendo Direct. In addition to Switch 2’s launch date of June 5 and lineup of upcoming Switch 2 games, the hour-long presentation included information on the functionality of the highly…

[GDC 2025] “Fresh Tracks” Hands-On

While it was probably the most informal as it took place in a loud hotel lobby near the Moscone Center, our last GDC preview appointment was a great one. We sat down with Karen Mitchell, Senior Producer and Marketing Lead…

[GDC 2025] “The Hundred Line: Last Defense Academy” Hands-On

Let it be known now, The Hundred Line: Last Defense Academy is anything but “Generic JRPG XVI.” During our brief, albeit extended, time with the game, this could very well be a hit for anybody that gives it a chance.

[GDC 2025] “Hela” Hands-On

Featured prominently at both ID@Xbox and Indie Media Connect during GDC, Hela is a game I had no idea about but now will definitely keep a watchful eye on as it continues development.

[GDC 2025] “Baseless” Hands-On

Of three games First Break Labs invited us to try out at GDC, Baseless was easily the most addictive one.
