Certainly,the Steam Deck has largely dominated my handheld gaming timeafter it came out. Yet, that’s not to say a few other devices haven’t made me peek, and Playdate has made me peek the hardest. Now, with Season 2 games on the horizon, I’m properly intrigued. The thing about Playdate, specifically, is that it stands out in a world where almost any modern device can play almost any video game. It’s a fairly premium micro-handheld that comes with its unique suite of games that are (usually) controlled using the crank found on the rightmost side of the device....

When I met with Telltale Games to take a first look at their upcoming series ofMonkey Islandepisodic games, I was pleasantly surprised to have the opportunity to meet Dave Grossman, writer/programmer ofThe Secret of Monkey IslandandMonkey Island 2: LeChuck’s Revenge. In our conversation, he revealed a highly exciting bit of information about the team working on the new series. The Telltale offices are chock full of LucasArts talent who participated in the development of the series, which should give any fan more than enough hope for its continuation....

In fact, you won’t find any promo items, Icons, or anything of much value in the grand context. But things are very different when it’s the start of a year, and your club is empty....

I’m lucky to have parents that didn’t have a problem with any videogames. Of course, I grew up at a time where there were no first-person shooters and fighting games weren’t bloody and/or sexy yet. These days kids have it hard as just about every hit game features at least one aspect that would have moms and dads switching it out for something tame and lame. Scott Steinberg has just launcheda new series of bookscalled “The Modern Parents’s Guide....

All that spiked hair, oh my! Square Enix polled 800+ JapaneseFinal Fantasyfans on which male characters really beef their cakes. Unsurprisingly, beefcake supremos known for making happy pants tents across the globe Squall and Cloud placed high at 2 and 5.

In the West we look atFinal Fantasy‘s male characters as strange, androgynous heroes, but, in Japan,Final Fantasy‘s lovely batch of beefcakes practically paved the way for style and fashion....

It’s short, but sweet Ultros is the ultimate asshole of theFinal Fantasyfranchise — he puts any given crotchety Cid to shame, and could troll anyone in theFFuniverse. But in any given game you usually get the chance to kick his ass, or in this case, watch him get pummeled into submission. For the presumably thousands of you out there who haven’t watched theKingsglaivefilm to accompany yourFinal Fantasy XVplaythrough (itreallyshould have been included on-disc), Square Enix has given us this small bonus scene on YouTube for free....

While we’d seen Jodie Whittaker’s Doctor in action at the end of the last season’s finale andin her announcement trailerthe first teaser for the next season gives us a look at the newcompanionsfriends she’ll be traveling with… and some weird ghost shimmery stuff.

Ars Technica, brings uswordofa studyconducted by the British Board of Film Classification that comes to the conclusion that watching violence on television or in films has a much greater effect on people than playing a violent game, at least in the realm of flipping the hell out and murdering innocent people.
