Got me on my hands and knees This is a review forCrawl. Yes, thatCrawl. The one with all the gorgeous pixel art and GIFs you’ve been seeing on Twitter since God knows when. The one you might remember having played a few years ago, maybe with friends, hanging out on some random night. That’s how I remember it, at a New Years party two years ago along withSamurai GunnandNidhogg. A dim, distant night that comes back to me as a blur of swords and frantic screams....
It’s free Tera Shards If there’s one thingPokemon Scarlet & Violethave done well, it’s introducing surprising Tera Raids.Even though the 7-Star Decidueye event returns for round two this weekend, we simultaneously have 5-Star Blissey populating our raid crystals through Sunday.Similar to previous 5-Star events, Blissey can appear with any Tera Type. If you’re afraid this might make Blissey hard to counter, trust me, you havenothingto worry about. Blissey is less a challenge and more a loot piñata full of Tera Shards....
The 1.4 update also lets you split up your funds in co-op Stardew Valleyis calling my name. In a preview on Twitter, game creator Eric Barone offered a glimpse of the 1.4 update which, among other things, will bring new features for multiplayer sessions. As it currently stands, money is shared between players inStardew Valley‘s co-op mode–a decision that can lead to selfishness, tension, and passive-aggressive notes. But with the 1....

The company has been forced to push back the launch of theSteam Deckuntil February 2022 due to “material shortages.” In a statement today, Valve said that customers who already have an order lined up for December can now expect their Steam Deck to ship in February....
That’s four better thanAction 52 There’s a bigWarioWare-shaped hole in my heart. Mostly because I forgot thatWarioware: Get it Togetherlaunched in 2021, and I skipped over it due to a lack of wealth. Nonetheless, I’m always interested in alternate takes to the Microgame formula, and my attention has been brought toSuper 56from Onion Soup Interactive. This is what I’m talking about. This is the good stuff. There’s a naked guy with a pompadour on the main menu doing a cobra pose, and the menu items both go into and come out of his butt....

‘Maidy’ inspired both a TV series and a film adaptation In case you haven’t heard the story of“Dad of Light,”stop what you’re doing and listen in for a moment. Back in 2017, Square Enix worked with a production company to adapt the “Dad[dy] of Light” blogs into a live-action drama, based on the experiences of a player named “Maidy.” In short, they were able to use the power ofFinal Fantasy XIVto heal a strained relationship with their father in secret; all while playing as the aforementioned avatar....
It’s all but confirmed at this point Weeks ago,we learnedthat there is aTeenage Mutant Ninja Turtlesgame in the works from Platinum Games by way of Activision, in the same vein asThe Legend of KorraandTransformers: Devastation. It made perfect sense, but we didn’t have actual confirmation — though, the info keeps rolling in. Since then, we’ve seen leaks forofficial artwork, as well asan achievement list. Now, from Pure Xbox, we have screenshots....
In the last ten-to-fifteen years of innovation on Twitch, content creators have been trying to perfect the art of cooking up pure, unbridled chaos. FromTwitch Plays PokemontoTwitch Plays Halo, the concept of allowing a Twitch chat to control a game or an experience all from the comfort of their chat window has made asignificantimpact on the internet at-large. I built a robot that lets twitch chat fry rice and they broke my fucking stovepic....
There has never been a videogame likeSpyParty. Most videogames deal in the epic, the explosive, and the impersonal.SpyPartydeals in subtlety, misdirection, and observation. Many multiplayer games ask the player to expend thousands of rounds of ammunition toward the destruction of the player’s enemies;SpyPartygives you only one shot, and you’d better damn well make it count. On the surface level,SpyPartyis a two-player game about a sniper and a spy. The spy’s job is to walk around a party, completing missions without breaking cover....
Back at E3 2006, I waited in the now infamous Wii Line of Death to play the new console for the first time. Somehow I was magically whisked out of line by a Nintendo rep (lucky me!) to the front entrance, and the first thing I saw was an earlyWii Music. I was so moved by the very idea of a music game you control with your hands, and ever since then, I’ve been dying to hear Music....
Glitchy code and stuttering music make for a surprisingly fun time I’m pretty sure I’ve lamented in the past that I don’t know what the kids are into with the music anymore. So, understand that I have no idea who this “Skrillex” person is, but I’m getting the idea that he’s kind of becoming a thing. Skrillex Questis an advergame created by design firm Joda (who also did thisamazingPerfect Strangers game) set in an NES cartridge which is experiencing glitches due to a piece of dust....
