Xbox has graciously alleviated some of the mounting pressure as we head into the final months of 2024, delaying Avowed until early next year. Avowed is now set to launch on February 18, 2025. Though it’s a shame that we’ll have to wait a bit longer to play Obsidian Entertainment’s …

On August 20, actor and author Anjali Bhimani will be the Game Master for a TTRPG stream called The Puppy Roll that will be raising money for Petco Love, a charity that supports shelters and reuniting animals with their humans. The cast of players is stacked, featuring the likes of …

I’ll always have a soft spot for the games I’d play with my friends for hours at a time while we jostled each other on the couch and screamed at each other for any perceived betrayal. You know the ones: your Mario Karts and Mario Parties. Games where forging flimsy …

I’m more shocked than anyone that Star Wars Outlaws didn’t resonate with me. I love Star Wars, and have been hoping to get a new game in which we don’t play as yet another Force-sensitive person. But after playing through three different sections of Outlaws at Summer Game Fest–each of …
