Which version of Pokemon Let’s Go are you getting?

Eevee deserves a shot at the top Pokemon: Let’s Go PikachuandLet’s Go Eeveeare both set to debut this Friday. Arguably one of the last big games of 2019 (outside ofFallout 76andSuper Smash Bros. Ultimate), it’s poised to potentially dominate the holiday charts, especially with the Poke Ball Plus accessory that interfaces directly withPokemon Go— which just netted a cool 70 million bucks last month. It could be a big deal but under the surface, there’s an even bigger deal: who’s side are you taking?...

Will you buy a game if it doesn’t have a single-player campaign?

Zoids! Zoids! Zoids! Watch some Zoids Switch gameplay

That theme song never gets old Zoids Wildis an enigma to some, and that’s assuming you even know what the heck “Zoids” even is. Created in the ’80s by Tomy (now Takara Tomy), this lesser known toy line eventually became a full-on property with multiple TV shows, games and even an overarching meta-narrative to go with the figures. It reached peak fame after airing the first anime series,Chaotic Century, in the west, which was a “before school” cartoon in many markets (including mine)....
