Spring is almost here. I can practically feel it quietly blossoming between the 25-degree overnight lows and the desperate last flurry of snowflakes coating my driveway this week. Until then, we’re feasting on 2025's early bounty of games ahead of some heavy hitters that will be rounding out the winter. Today, we got a better look at what people were playing last month. As has been something of a running theme, it was mostly old stuff, though it was also the season for it.

Nov 5, 2024 | yahoo.com | John Walker

John WalkerNovember 5, 2024 at 7:45 AM·3 min readPokémon TCG Pocket is proving to be rather successful. App Magic, a website that estimates mobile app earnings (via Mobilegamer.biz), claims the “free” card game has made over $20 million in its first week on sale from over five million downloads. The app has just launched its second in-game event, and likely the first one any players will have actually noticed: a series of battles that could win you coveted Lapras ex cards for your decks.

Eternal Strands is a game that says yes more than it says no

Oct 14, 2024 | store.epicgames.com | John Walker

10.14.2024By John Walker, ContributorA curse befalls all games that try to answer the question, “What if players can do anything they want?” This massive overreach inevitably allows players to do very little of anything at all.

We are but mere days away from October, and that’s when the video game industry is going to start dropping some big games. Metaphor: ReFantazio, Dragon Age: The Veilguard, Diablo IV: Vessel of Hatred, and Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 are just a few of the big releases coming out next month. Luckily, things are a little less crowded now that Assassin’s Creed Shadows has been pushed to February, but odds are you’re looking forward to at least some things coming out in the next few weeks.

RPG meets intriguing puzzle game in the deeply lovely Arranger

Aug 2, 2024 | store.epicgames.com | John Walker

Arranger is a prime example of this: What at first appears to be a heavily gimmicked puzzle game very quickly proves to be something far deeper, far smarter, and much more wonderful than you expected. That gimmick is a significant one. You play as Jemma, a young girl who moves through the tiled world by sliding the rows or columns around her.
Peggle remains every bit as brilliant even 17 years after its release

Jul 30, 2024 | store.epicgames.com | John Walker

7.10.2024By John Walker, ContributorWe are all extraordinarily good at Peggle—apart from when it’s unfair. When it’s unfair, when the ball somehow bounces on a route that impossibly takes it between 13 pegs without ever touching any of them, it’s an outrage. It’s something governments should be looking into. Certainly, somebody somewhere should be facing consequences.

July is here and so are its wonderfully (or not so wonderful) high temperatures. Here in the States, we just wrapped a holiday that feels…well, do I need to spell out how discordant and weird things are here right now? Probably not. Oh, hey, that’s right: Video games!
