If they do a sequel to Resident Evil it should start at the "safe room" in the barn house and just go in a completely different direction from there

I feel like being an adult with ADHD that has really productive periods of hyper focus means I feel like the guy on the left 20% of the time and the guy on the right the other 80%

Zach Cregger’s Resident Evil manages to perfectly replicate the feeling of sitting on the couch and watching someone play a video game very poorly 10/10 experience

Wow! If you look closely, you'll notice they've kept and updated the original Mario easter egg in the Ocarina of Time remake

You know how Hollywood keeps making movies of 20-30 year old properties where the main characters have kids that are basically just genderwapped versions of themselves?

Just got back from watching Christopher Nolan's Odyssey, and what the crap was that? Terrible, 0/10 movie that completely ignores the source material! Where's the sleeping T Rex? Where's Cappy? Hell, even though I'm pretty sure Matt Damon is supposed to be Mario, they keep calling him Odysseus!

A little late to the party but finally finished my first playthrough of Metroid Prime 4...it was, ok. Not a bad game but significantly flawed and the open wold bike traversal seemed counter to the entire ethos of Metroid. I give it a very generous 7/10

It's funny that as a kid that grew up in arcades in the 90s in North America, the big dream crossover was Mortal Kombat and Street Fighter, and here, 30 years later, the only thing Street Fighter HASN'T crossed over with is Mortal Kombat

If all these Switch 2 rumors and leaks end up being true, or even mostly true, than I have to wonder when we'll see a tease of the next Smash Bros. Summer 2027 maybe? Later?

Initial leaks from Super Mario Galaxy are INSANE- I can't believe Fox jumps out of his ship, grabs Bowser Jr, proceeds to up throw, back air, jab, then up smashes him before saying "mission complete!" in broken English and then just stands in place for the remainder of the movie.

I fear referencing a 20 year old gamer culture meme might be too niche www.ign.com/articles/200...

899 US dollars is justified for a premium product. Sony wants consumers who think to themselves 'I will work more hours to buy one'. They want people to feel that they want it, irrespective of anything else. If they need to get a second job, they will get one.

A lot of these "Hollywood is cooked" AI fight videos have made me realize that there are a whole lot of people that don't care about things like staging, lighting, choreography, and fight logic when it comes to big CGI spectacle That explains a lot, actually

Displaying Team USA Olympic figure skater Ilia Malnin on a CRT brings out a lot of the artist-intended details that get lost with pure pixels, this is why so many of us retain vintage hardware

With the Disney Afternoon Collection coming to Switch the two big retro omissions on the platform are, in my opinion, Chrono Trigger and Symphony of the Night (with Rondo). There are some GC/PS2 era things missing but from the era before that I think we're almost set. What does everyone else think?

I literally have been asking for this on social media for YEARS

You asked and we delivered... The Disney Afternoon Collection is coming to Switch and Switch 2 with TWO additional SNES games – Goof Troop and Bonkers! Coming February 26th. Pre-order: https://atari.com/products/disney-afternoon-collection

Some people might think Godzilla shooting lasers from his eyes in the Hanna-Barbera cartoon is an error, but remember, they're NOT lasers, they're beams of concussion force from the punch dimension
