A mere four days after release, the official trailer forGrand Theft Auto6had already amassed over 130 million views. For comparison’s sake, the trailer forGTA5 took 12 years to clear the 100 million mark. Please don’t feel too sad forGTA 5, though; it’s already sold over 190 million copies across what also feels like millions of different platforms. You’d be hard-pressed to find a series that has been so consistently popular for so long, butGTAhas also enjoyed a near-exponential level of growth....

Comparing generally incomparable games has, somehow, gotten to be my jam. This time around, though, the comparison makeswaymore sense. You see, I got a bit of whiplash playingKingdom Come: Deliverance 2back-to-back withAvowed, and the respective successes of both of these games made me think. No, really, bear with me: this isn’t likethat one time I threwStarfieldandDestinyinto the mixer, I promise. The fact of the matter is thatKingdom Come: Deliverance 2andAvowedsit at almost entirely different ends of the role-playing spectrum....

It seems Kmart wants to get us game-playing individuals back. And believe it or not, they’ve come up with a smart way to do it: “qualifying” videogame reviews on MyKmart.com will be turned into snippets and placed on actual store shelves, as seen in the photo above. My original reaction to this idea was positive. It seemed like a neat way for some passionate folks to get the word out about rad games....

It’s free to claim until December 3 if you own the Switch edition I spent a surprising amount of time withBorderlands 2on Nintendo Switch this year, and while I’ve had my fill – enough to the point where I might not ever revisit this game – sure, I’ll take a moment to claim theCommander Lilith & the Fight for SanctuaryDLC while Take-Two isstill giving it out. Just in case. You can do the same if you ownBorderlands: The Handsome Collection(that’s the two-game bundle) orBorderlands: Legendary Collection(the compilation with three games)....

It took a while, but the hype machine forAtlus‘ sexy new action-puzzlerCatherinehad recently (and finally) shifted into “providing actual gameplay details” mode.

Great games have been made from simpler premises, after all.And if these new screenshots, nearly all taken from the main “Nightmare” mode, are any indication, my hopes may well be borne out....
