Descenders is all about going downhill on a bike as quickly as possible while pulling off cool stunts and not dying. It’s great stuff, and marked out Dutch developer RageSquid thanks to its polish, feel, and general unputdownable nature. Published by No More Robots, it’s a delicious little indie game that can suck hours out of the day. But, that was on consoles. Y’know, those big beefy things that can do the ray tracing....
As a little girl, I couldn’t help but dream of an acceptance letter to Hogwarts, the same as a lot of kids I’m sure. Of course, I had to grow up at some point and face the reality that there’s no such thing as magic (you’re right, Uncle Vernon, I hope you’re happy!), but this year, I finally get to be the student I long to be, my dreams are now a reality thanks to Hogwarts Legacy....
I’m a huge horror fan, and I’ve yet to encounter a sub-genre that I don’t enjoy. However, there are some sub-genres that I tend to gravitate towards more than others, one of which happens to be Japanese horror, and this is for a magnitude of reasons, several of which are on display in Ikai. If you’re unfamiliar with PM Studios’ latest title Ikai, it’s a psychological horror game that derives inspiration from Japanese folklore, which just happens to be some of the most fascinating legends you can come across, to me at least....
It’s fair to say that League of Legends: Wild Rift is a complex game.

Which is why we’ve put together this League of Legends: Wild Rift guide that’s going to explain some of the deeper elements of League of Legends: Wild Rift....

Similar to maths, physics is one of those subjects you either loved or hated at school. A lot of that had to do with the type of physics teacher you had and how your brain reacted to questions about matter and gravity and whatnot. For most of us, physics was just a subject we had to pass to graduate high school, but for some, it’s been a big part of shaping their lives and their careers....
Do you like monsters? Have you ever dreamed of living your best life on a ranch? Great, Monster Rancher 2 is the game for you. It’s full of weird and wonderful creatures, many of which you must breed and raise, though this doesn’t mean it’s not a dangerous occupation, or that these monsters won’t attack you. Some creatures exist solely to be your enemy. We have to admit, this sounds petty, yet we admire the dedication....
Another year is about to come to a close but before then you have to get through the festive season. Christmas is one of the biggest events on the calendar and is often a long day spent traveling between relatives’ homes while overeating, giving gifts, and trying not to be a Grinch. Even if you’re spending the day at home, that means Christmas dinner is on you, which brings with it an entirely different set of challenges....

It’s no surprise that rich people spend their money on ridiculous things and experiences. When you have more money than you know what to do with, splashing the cash on something wildly expensive doesn’t seem like a silly idea. Now we aren’t just talking about a new car or outfit. The things rich people buy include crazy items like tickets to space or a gold toilet and bathroom combo. These excessive presents rich people gift themselves are things most of us regular folk can only dream about....
Celebrities are often heralded for their good looks and talent, but it’s not often people highlight their intelligence. This is especially relevant when it comes to reality TV stars, where smarts aren’t always needed to become famous. As it turns out, there is actually a load of famous celebrities who are not only easy on the eye and great at their profession but have extremely high IQs. These celebrities with high IQs range from actors and actresses to musicians and talk show hosts....
In life there’s a beginning and a finish line, and in between the journey we make around the track. The world of race car driving is one apart from our own, but that doesn’t mean certain symbols don’t carry over in relevance. The checkered racing flag is more than just a “GO!” message, but the mark of the man who moves at a dizzying speed, and doesn’t slow down for anyone....
Ever since Nintendo released the Switch in 2017, it feels like handheld gaming is having a bit of a renaissance. Not only has it blasted past a hundred million units sold, but it’s also come alongside the successful Steam Deck and a handful of other x86 handhelds from smaller companies. One such company is Ayaneo, which has released numerous handhelds since its first in 2021. In that short timeframe, we’ve seen the tiny Ayaneo Air and the powerful Ayaneo Next....
Being a good sensei in Blue Archive isn’t all about beating up the bad guys, solving mysteries, and picking the cutest students to back you up. You also need to craft furniture to increase your student’s comfy level, give them gifts to keep them happy, and gather growth materials to level them up. Who knew high school girls were so high maintenance? If you’re wondering where to start, you’re in the right place....
Frogun is the latest indie platformer to harken back to the games of the ‘90s, and while some cynics might feel like we have enough games in that mould, I’d argue that it’s an aesthetic that can be tapped into for infinite possibilities, and as a unique isometric 3D platforming game, Frogun does something new while paying tribute to the past. The central concept behind Frogun is that you play as a young girl named Renata who heads out to find her two explorer parents, who have gone missing....
October 21, 2020: We’ve updated our Mario Kart Tour challenges guide for the Halloween Tour. Nintendo has done a smashing job of translating Mario Kart’s battle racing experience to the touchscreen. Perhaps the most impressive feature is the ability to play it with a single thumb; albeit rather awkwardly. You accelerate automatically and can tap and swipe on the screen to drift or turn (depending on your chosen control scheme) in either direction....
You don’t have to roll around in the mud like a pig to get a skin infection. In reality, complications are common when you or your artist forget to use your noggins. Most people think that avoiding a tattoo infection during the tattoo healing and aftercare process is as simple as avoiding trashy tattoo parlors, or by declining requests from ink-aspiring artists that go by the name of “friends.” The truth is, it’s just not that simple!...
Anime is an extraordinary art form with its unique storytelling and animation style. With its roots tied to early cartoons, anime gained cult status throughout the 70s, exploding in popularity in the 80s and 90s. There’s often a supernatural or mythical element to each anime series, but they differ in terms of visual style and story. At the same time, they share several similarities in terms of animation. They often feature a flawed hero, a fearless heroine, and a monstrous creature....
