Remember earlier this week when The Pokemon Company put out a teaser image for Pokemon Legends: Z-A that looked like it could legitimately be from something like the Blair Witch Project? Well, the full trailer is out now, and unsurprisingly it isn't actually all that scary--apart from that one bit with the Espurr. That thing still is terrifying. Still, the trailer is a fun riff on the found-footage genre, and it even revealed a completely new Mega Evolution Pokemon.
Titled The Case of the...
This week Steam made a small change to how it displays reviews and will now show a score for reviews in your language instead of an "all reviews" score. One game that has benefited from the change is Palworld, which now shows Overwhelmingly Positive for all English reviews.

Look: Like many of you, I have suffered from Lego fatigue. No matter how much I might care about Avengers or Lord of the Rings or Indiana Jones or any of the other properties Lego has adapted over the years, there have been so many Lego games, each of them with so much to do. It was impossible to keep up or sustain my interest.
But Lego franchise games seem to have turned a corner now, as Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga was a nicely refreshed take on the entire series, even as it...

"As we wrap up this journey with the Xbox Series X and Series S, the mission behind these consoles echoes everything I’ve learned...
A cursory Google search of the term "job simulator" would show the 2016 VR game Job Simulator as the top result. But it is not representative of the plethora of simulation games answering the question: Can a job be fun?
From Microsoft Flight Simulator to Overcooked, the workplace has been a subject by game developers for a long time. Yet in the last few years, there has been a considerable explosion in their exposure. Likely in part from marketing strategies using Tiktok or Twitch, it has...

In an interview with GameSpot ahead of the reveal of Path of Exile 2's huge The Third Edict update, which adds the ARPG's fourth campaign act, new temporary interlude acts, its first seasonal league, and more, Rogers said that despite his hopes earlier in the year, Path of Exile 2 won't fully release in 2025.

Gearbox boss Randy Pitchford has once again commented on the price of Borderlands 4, saying the game would be "worth it" even if 2K Games opted to charge as much as five times more than the actual price of $70.
Pitchford previously stirred things up by saying "real fans" would find a way to come up with the money to buy the game if 2K opted to charge more than the current going-rate for AAA games. He addressed this later, saying he did not intend to "trigger" people.
Speaking to IGN at...
I don't know that we've ever seen a year quite like this one when it comes to new co-op experiences. From major-publisher-backed hits like Split Fiction and Grounded 2, to indie darlings like REPO and Peak, there hasn't just been a significant quantity of games meant for co-op play, but they've gone in so many different, yet similarly exciting, directions.
Still, I've been left wanting for one specific reason, and I imagine other parents can relate: It's hard to find games to play with my...
