I should hate it, but I can’t stop “playing” Nonstop Chuck Norrisis not a game you should download. It’s really not a game I should be writing about. In my quest to tell people about good mobile titles they should try, it’s the type of game I would play for five minutes before deleting and never picking up again, likePower Rangers: Legacy WarsorTransformers: Forged to Fight, both equally uninteresting apps that briefly graced my Android home screen earlier this month....

Super Mario Odyssey’s amiibo content will be unlockable without the amiibo

What a novel concept… Lootboxes and microtransactions and all sorts of chicanery have been invading video games for the last few years, locking out content that used to be unlockable through in-game achievements. What happened to the days where getting hard mode meant you simply had to beat the game instead of shelling out an additional $10? WhileSuper Mario Odysseywill be launching alongside a trio of amiibo that unlock things, you won’t be required to buy those figurines to get that content....

The Forspoken “Talking to a cuff!” trailer, Solid Snake edition

‘Forced Poking’ some fun at video game marketing I have nothing but respect and empathy for the poor souls who were tasked with creatingthe now infamousForspoken“Talking to a cuff!” trailer. The whole thing stinks of producer tampering.

But then the “Business Strategy and Branding Lead” came in and said “Oh no you can’t say ‘my’ because those magic talking sleeves are going to be sold as NFTs to players across the world in 2024....

You would think with all thestraight cashthat 2K collects from this franchise it would mean that each year we get a premium product built on the backs of previous generations of success....
