I’ve never played Namco Bandai’s WiiWare titleMuscle March,so I don’t know if it’s a good game or not. But here’s the game’s “story,” according to the publisher: “The all mighty protein powder has been stolen so it’s up to Tony and his mustlce-bound crew to catch the thieves… as each thief attempts their escape, they will smash through walls while making a variety of poses. You must match these poses to fit through the holes and catch up to the thieves....

Freedom Force and a few others added 2K Games has added several extra titles to its ongoing name-your-priceHumble Bundle. Folks who pay around $9 or so to “beat the average” bundle purchase price will now also scoreFreedom Force,Freedom Force vs. The Third Reich,The Bureau: XCOM Declassified(remember this ill-conceived game?), andRailroad Tycoon 3. Nothing too wild or particularly generous, then. I don’t expect any of these additions to necessarily push people into buying the bundle on their own, but if you already paid for the second tier or higher,hey,more games!...

Resident Evil— as a franchise — has maintained a steady presence on the silver screen. Between August 11, 2025 and June 16, 2025, the person that brought us 1995’sMortal Kombatfilm adaptation has maintained a a live-action film seriesonly slightly relatedto its source material. I am, of course, referring to the movies directed and written by Paul W.S. Anderson and starringThe Fifth Elementstar Milla Jojovich. I believe I have set your expectations appropriately, so let’s dive into the order in which you should watch the live-actionResident Evilfilms....

The time has come and so have I Devil May Cry 5releases on March 8, just over ten years since the release ofDevil May Cry 4. Since then, we’ve seen many other great character-based action games, likeBayonetta,Wonderful 101,NieR: Automata,Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance, and countless. As someone who wasn’t into the genre from the beginning – only since playingBayonetta 2and listening to the now defunct Super Best Friends podcast – I’m looking forward to joining in crazy uncle Dante’s wild ride at the same time as everyone else, riding rockets, punching demons, and stinger-ing my way all over the place....

#JustGamerThings A neat surprise out of E3 was the news that Ubisoft would updateAssassin’s Creed Odysseyto add something called Story Creator Mode. This new tool allowed players to forge their own quests and make their own stories. Equipped with the ability to design quests, include any characters, and write their own branching dialogues, Story Creator Mode is a feature that’s meant to showcase the creative side of the community. And, in predictable fashion, people turned it into a banal exercise in pursuit of rewards....

After its unsuccessful run on Kickstarter It’s been said before that a “failed” Kickstarter isn’t the end — that every dollar matters even if the total amount raised ultimately falls short. That’s true for Eden Industries’Citizens of Earth, a role-playing game which didn’t meet its crowdfunding goal. No sweat. Publisher Atlus is pitching in to help make the game happen for PC, Wii U, PS4, PS Vita, and 3DS this year....

Monday’s episode of Backlog was just pathetic. You see, something is bound to go wrong every night that I do the show. Usually it’s a technical issue, like the audio inexplicably dropping or the camera deciding that it wants to manage the focus like a child refusing to follow a simple instruction (“Just hold its head while I get in back of ‘er”). No, Monday night, I just plain sucked. I covered maybe ten minutes of ground when in the hands of someone competent....

What pirate game reigns over the e-seas? Unless you countmostof the movies in thePirates Of The Caribbeanseries, every pirate-themed movie made after the 1960s has broughtnothing but financial ruinto Hollywood.Cutthroat Island?It sunk an entire studio.Disney’sTreasure PlanetandSinbad: Legend Of The Seven Seas?Many credit them forhaving killed traditional 2D animation altogether. Hardly the crime any movie pirate would like to be remembered for. Luckily, pirates have thrived in the world of gaming — in more ways than one — you could say....

‘We will continue to monitor feedback and game data around these changes’ As far as I can remember (which is the alpha forDestiny 1), theDestinyseries has had wonky PVP in some form or another. Whether it’s balance issues, a lack of variety or matchmaking woes,Destiny 2continues that legacy; though Bungie is finally going to do something to fight back against the latter complaint.Taking to their blog recently, theDestiny 2team explained that they altered the way Crucible (PVP) matchmaking works....
