Earlier this week, I shared a story about my favorite Christmas gift. It was an Xbox 360 I had begged my late grandma for, which she bought alongside a copy of Gears of War and a second controller for my bestie and I. This gift would set the course for...
The Switch is going out with a bang. Ahead of the likely reveal of the Nintendo handheld hybrid’s successor next year, the aging hardware continued receiving an amazing slate of new games in 2023, including The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, on...
To some, 2023 was one of the best years for video games in a long time. It didn’t quite land that way for me, but that’s okay. Even if I don’t rank the likes of Super Mario Bros. Wonder and Baldur’s Gate 3 among the year’s best, I still admire the impu...

Nearly every conversation I’ve had about Baldur’s Gate 3 this year has started with a series of questions: “Can I see your character? And who are you romancing?” More often than not, I’m more interested in hearing how the characters people make and mee...
The series is called The Legend of Zelda, but unless you’ve played something like Hyrule Warriors or Super Smash Bros., it’s rare that you get to control the Hylian princess herself. That doesn’t mean it might not happen someday in the main franchise, ...
Ever since it was announced, it’s been hard to fathom what a live action Zelda movie might look like or what it will be about. Will it follow the archetypal events of the games or chart a completely new story? Will Link still have pointy ears and a gre...
