Nintendo Switch 2 Rumors have been circulating for some time, but I'm much more excited about the rumors that Mario Kart 9 will be released alongside the new console. So far, nothing has been confirmed about the Switch 2. In fact, we don't even know if Nintendo will actually call it that (although if I had to guess based on the names of previous consoles, they wouldn't). That said, a potential Mario Kart 9 the launch is not the most far-fetched idea. Even if this doesn't happen at launch, a new Mario Kart seems likely. It's been a while since…

Maybe one of Marvel Rivals'best features is the ability to create or import custom reticles for aiming. For certain heroes, the game's default reticle may not be as ideal as you can design yourself. Alternatively, you can change the color or size of the reticle for accessibility reasons. This could make it easier for a wider range of players to enjoy Marvel Rivals. Marvel's Rivals A large roster of heroes can make it difficult to find the right custom reticle for them all. Happily, Rivals allows you to set different custom reticles for different heroes. This means you can use…
Red Dead Redemption 2 It has a huge map, so it's easy miss some of the coolest parts of the game's various locations the first time. Whether taking a second or even third pass through the game, it's worth revisiting these locations again and again. Some are rewarding for their beautiful landscapes, others for their in-game benefits, and some for the hidden secrets they hide. Another reason why some of these locations can get lost in the shuffle is that they are largely ignored by history. On the other hand, sometimes the story can be happening at such a fast…
College Football 25 was a breath of fresh air for fans of sports games, which likely helped it earn its place as one of the best-selling sports games of all time. It can be hard to get excited about new sports games, but College Football 25 seems to have had the perfect combination of elements to make it broadly attractive. EA also seems to have put a lot of effort into making College Football 25something that can't always be said about an EA Sports title. Looking at the success of College Football 25It's hard to say whether its success is…
Pokémon TCG Pocket has just released its first expansion, Mythical Island, and some new secret missions along with it. As players may know, there are more missions in Pokémon TCG Pocket than they initially appear in the missions tab. When players collect themed groups of certain Pokémon, they sometimes complete a surprise secret mission that gives them rewards like hourglass packs or store tickets. Genetic Apex – Pokémon TCG Pocket'The first set – had seven secret missions to complete. Mythical Island I just added four morean understandably smaller number for a much smaller set. Like this Genetic Apexsecret missions, the…
When I first played the closed alpha of Marvel RivalsI was thrilled to have a new hero shooter, but now that it's out, I'm getting tired of it quickly. Honestly, I should have seen this coming. Surveillance It was released in 2016 and I played it a lot for years. When Marvel Rivals was released, I was excited for a new game to reinvigorate my interest in the genre, But that's not what I got. Instead of getting a replacement for Surveillance, Marvel Rivals it feels a lot more like I just bought some new skins for Surveillance. Although it…
Many players like The Legend of Zelda: a link with the pastbut I think many of us don't give it the credit it deserves for shaping the entire series. Similar to how a modern viewer might watch John Carpenter's film Halloween and I think it's cliché, players who come back to check A link to the past You can see this as just another Zelda game because they don't understand This is where many of the series' tropes began. Even though he is someone whose first Zelda the game was A link to the pastI didn't fully realize the game's…
Marvel Rivals is kicking off its first seasonal event, and thanks to a certain land shark, it's likely to make some noise. Marvel's winter celebration is themed around everyone's favorite (or possibly least favorite) strategist hero, Jeff the Land Shark. Jeff has been making waves in Rivals thanks to its impactful final capacity. It could be his notoriety that earned him the spot as mascot for this first event, or he could have been chosen simply because he's one of the cutest heroes in the cast. THE Marvel Rivals Winter Celebration brings with it a new game mode as well…
Having recently played The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time on Nintendo Switch Online, I realized that my impressions of Water Temple had changed since I first played it. In elementary school, when my friends and I were trying to beat the Water Temple for the first time, it was notorious for being a very difficult dungeon. At the time, it even made me quit the game for a while because I just couldn't figure it out. For years, I didn't really question my assumption that the Water Temple was a difficult dungeon. For me and others my age, it…
Batman: Shadow of Arkham I just released a new update which is adding some cool features to the VR Batman adventure. This latest update adds some new features to the game, as well as features that will make it more accessible to a wider audience. Now is a good time to check Shadow of Arkam if players are still debating whether it's for them. There will be even more updates later that will also add some cool features and potentially a tease at future installments in the franchise. Shadow of Arkham is the second VR Batman: Arkham game and is…
