The sixth Grand Theft Auto game has been highly anticipated ever since it was announced in 2023, even winning the Most Anticipated Game at The Game Awards in 2025. It’s set to be published by Rockstar Games on Nov. 19, 2026 and is projected to earn hundreds of millions of dollars. It will undoubtedly be the most anticipated game release of the year. You shouldn’t buy it. The projected $80 price tag is egregious enough, with some rumors claiming that it will even be $100. More importantly, you

Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream is the third entry in the franchise, following Tomodachi Collection (2009) and Tomodachi Life (2013). (Image: Nintendo) Tomodachi Life was released in Japan in 2013. A year later, it hit Western markets a month a

In 2005, the first Ace Attorney game reached Western audiences on the Nintendo DS. Despite Capcom’s hesitation to release it globally, it was a success. The visual novel franchise grew beyond simple courtroom drama into a phenomenon. The story centers on new defense attorney Phoenix Wright and his countless wrongfully accused clients. As he navigates a cast of wacky and often suspicious characters, it becomes clear that the combination of complicated murders and unique personalities has given

In 2005, the first “Ace Attorney” game reached Western audiences on the Nintendo DS. Despite Capcom’s hesitation to release it globally, it was a success.

Devil May Cry 3: Dante’s Awakening was first released in 2005 for the Playstation 2. I bought the game in 2024 for the Nintendo Switch. Still, I feel that I can give an accurate enough critique despite not playing on the intended hardware. Overall, Devil May Cry 3 is a good game. However, I would say it is not an easily approachable game. This is a game for gamers. It’s a game for people who are looking for a challenge and a detailed combat system. It’s a game for people who are looking to fe

When suggesting games to friends, I’ll often get a response along the lines of “Oh, I’m not good at games.” This statement can be a bit confusing in that it is so general. What does it mean to be “good at games?” There are definitely types of games one might not be good at, for example I suck at shooters, but I find it hard to believe that one can be bad at all games. I think it comes from a common misconception of video games among non-gamers that all video games are based around combat or some

By the time this comes out it will almost certainly be outdated, but here is the list and my initial impressions. Mortal Shell II (2026) — 6/10 Very cool trailer. While it seems like a Dark Souls game in terms of aesthetic, with grotesque and twisted beings in a dark world, it is not a FromSoftware title. The monster and character designs truly speak to something sinister in the world, but the included combat clips are much more gorey than you would see in Soulslike gameplay. Whi

Once again this will most likely be somewhat outdated, as Day of the Devs takes place immediately after the live Summer Games Fest presentation. However, I enjoy it a lot more than the live presentation as it gives a deeper look into the games, and it specifically focuses on games made by indie studios. I’ve rated them mostly on how likely I am to buy them when they come out. Snap and Grab (2026) – 8/10 Amazing 80s aesthetics with high fashion and high class capers. The game centers around t

Dragon Quest I & II HD 2D Remake – 3/10 Remakes don’t usually excite me as the core mechanics and plot are usually the same as the original, just with better graphics. Unless a remake is practically an entirely new game—think Final Fantasy VII remake I don’t have any interest in buying it as it’s incredibly likely that one could emulate the original Dragon Quest I and II with little issue. That seems to be the case here and with other remakes announced. It looks pretty, though. *

In the midst of procrastinating yet another set, I am seized by my obsession with the godforsaken company Nintendo. Ever since the official announcement of the Nintendo Switch 2 (yes that is actually its name), I have not known a day of peace. I seem to be physically incapable of lasting 24 hours without thinking about this new console. With a supposed price of around $400-449, it is important to see if it will match up to the high price point. ![](https://xguzskbxiptvhbyggkpl.supabase.co/stora

Nintendo is arguably the largest gaming company in the world. From the Legend of Zelda to Mario, it’s amassed an impressive repertoire of successful franchises. Even more so, the success of these franchises becomes even more impressive considering how they are only available on a Nintendo console. With the Switch turning 8 years old in March, it’s high time that Ni
