Battlefield 6 Multiplayer Review in Progress – Beta Impressions – IGN
I know a multiplayer shooter is really clicking when my buddies and I are all swapping stories at the end of the night. There was the time my Banshee was skyjacked over a pit in Halo Infinite, and I used my Grappleshot to quickly re-skyjack it, sending the would-be thief to their grave. Or when…
Chrono Trigger’s Story Is Simpler Than You Remember, But That’s What Makes It Great
Chrono Trigger celebrated the 30-year anniversary of its US release this week. Below, we look back at how it continues to endure and what continues to make it a powerful, relevant classic. After 30 years, I still often find myself thinking about Fiona’s Forest in Chrono Trigger, and one of the scenes that captures what…
10 Best PS1 Games From Every Year Of Its Lifespan
The Playstation. A magical time in my life in many ways to be honest. It was the first time I understood what gaming was really capable of. While the Nintendo and the N64 had huge moments as well, it was the Playstation that unlocked another door for me. The door to a more mature style…
Somehow, this horror-lite Angel Studios release is the summer’s best family film
There’s a particular type of scene that’s familiar from any number of movies about haunted houses, haunted kids, or anything else supernaturally amiss involving a family.

Hell Clock Review – The Grind, the Glory, and the Grim Reaper’s Clock
Hell Clock draws its inspiration from many sources, then blends them to create a mixture of AARPG and rogue-lite. A little like Diablo, a bit like Hades, a smidgen like Path of Exile. Playing it feels familiar, a warm blanket of stacking upgrades and finding that perfect mix of abilities so that the screen is…
It’s Time Paper Mario Got A Remake
Paper Mario was released in Japan 25 years ago today, August 11, 2025. Below, we look back at how the dynamic battle system and an unusual approach to Mario lore influenced the series for years to come. I would wager that when GameSpot posted its first preview of the original Paper Mario–then known as “Super…
Hades 2: How To Beat Prometheus, Titan Of Foresight
As you make your way to Mount Olympus from the surface in Hades 2, there is one enemy that you will encounter for whom you will almost feel sorry and wouldn’t want to fight. This foe is none other than Prometheus, the Titan of Foresight. Going back to the roots of Greek Mythology, Prometheus has…
A new Wii replacement saved my family’s rain days
Unless Nintendo delivers on a Switch 2 sequel to Ring Fit, the days of bouncing around the living room in order to play a major console game seem pretty much over. The Switch Joy-Cons possess the motion-control abilities of the Wiimote without the zeitgeisty software to match. (Sorry, Switch Sports.) We are now 15 years…
The 10 Best Video Game Prequels – IGN
In the world of movies, prequels have a somewhat mixed reputation. There’s the ones that enrich their existing worlds and stories, like X-Men: First Class. There’s the ones that ruin the mystery, like the heinous Hannibal Rising. And then there’s the ones no one can actually agree on, like the Star Wars prequel trilogy. Over…
