Devolver Digital and Sectordub's clever little platformer about a kicky little ball of red, Pikuniku, is currently running on sale on Nintendo Switch for the tiny asking price of a buck. Pikuniku is absurd fun for how simplistic it is in its nature. The puzzle platformer from Devlover Digital and French-British indie collective Sectordub is strange little story of a world of silly shapes getting by the best way they know how. And of course, there’s Piku, who is running, rolling, and kicking his way around to make ends meet.

The second golden age of TV is considered to have begun in the late '90s with prestige dramas like The Sopranos, and continued with shows like The Shield, Mad Men, Breaking Bad, and even Boardwalk Empire. These shows have certain things in common, including a morally ambiguous main character that the audience finds sympathetic despite their many acts of cruelty and evil. These antiheroes often hold relatively respectable positions--a teacher, a cop, a politician--but hide darker tendencies that come to the surface over the course of the show.Now that these

A leaked look at Respawn's canceled Star Wars 1313 project shows off the underworld of Coruscant, plus a look at the bounty hunter protagonist that was maybe Boba Fett, but likely at least related. LucasArts’ Star Wars 1313 is often a grieving topic of conversation on what could have been these days. The project was put on the shelf in 2013 by LucasArts and never saw the light of day outside of small leaks and tidbits. That said, a recent screenshot may have showed a glimpse at what could have

Valve Level Designer and veteran developer Dario Casali recently went into detail on what kept the studio from launching Half-Life 2: Episode 3 or working on a new sequel. When Valve began work on Half-Life 2, they simultaneously began work on Source 2. The plan was to produce a new and powerful engine alongside a benchmark of gaming. By this point you know the story. Half-Life 2 is one of the most celebrated games of all time, but the stress of creating Source 2 created issues as the studio tried

Get ready to get your grind on in Legends of Runeterra. The next update is slated to remove several limitations on progression. There are occasional times where artificial limitations on progression, daily or otherwise, are good for keeping the playing field balanced, but too strict a cap can stifle the fun. Legends of Runeterra has several caps of the strict sort, but Riot is ready to do away with them in an upcoming patch. It might be a better time than ever to grab XP and unlock the best parts

Castlevania: Symphony of the Night was a benchmark of both the Castlevania franchise and the metroidvania genre with its free exploration, light RPG mechanics, and action. Meanwhile, Record of Lodoss war is a classic among old-school anime inspired by the rules and lore of tabletop fantasy like Dungeons and Dragons. We might not have expected these two things to come together in a single package in 2020. I certainly didn’t and I’m a big fan of both, but playing through an Early Access build of Record of Lodoss War -
