FM26: 14 Leagues of Women’s Football

“No one wanted this!” I did, and according to Miles Jacobson (the head guy at Sports Interactive), so did the Lionesses. “It’s a waste of development resources,” to do what? Model a couple of figures to be smaller, more agile, and have…

FM 26 releases November and reimagined UI first look

Right, now that I’ve finished writing up a match report for a European game, I can fill my shorts with excitement over FM26. I thought when I did the news about the match engine and specs earlier this week, we wouldn’t get more…

FM26 Match Engine Trailer and System Requirements Revealed

Praise be, Hallelujah, and all that comes before it, we’ve finally got an eyes-on look at FM26, it is real! Given the hell that Miles Jacobson described in several recent interviews, I can understand why we didn’t see anything last time out…

Shinobi: Art of Vengeance Gets Launch Trailer

The Shinobi franchise has always been a “fun, but hard” thing for me. I’m not great at it, but I enjoy the ride anyway. Now, with Shinobi: Art of Vengeance on the horizon, I’m more excited than ever to play Joe Musashi’s…

Shinobi: Art of Vengeance releases BTS video

No, I’m not talking about your cousin’s favorite K-pop group. With Shinobi: Art of Vengeance releasing on August 29th, we’re getting more and more details about the return of the classic franchise. Today, we got two trailers detailing a bit more about…

Humankind (PC) Review

Leading up to its release in August of 2021, Humankind was hyped up to be the downfall of the Sid Meier’s Civilization franchise. As a fairly devoted fan of the Civ series, I dare say I’m decently qualified to judge how well…

Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii (PS5) Review

At this point, if Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio tossed Like a Dragon (Yakuza) characters into a puzzle game or a hidden object game, I’d probably play it. While Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii is neither of those genres, it does…

Two Point Museum (Xbox Series X) Review

The Two Point games speak to me on a level above many other management sims. With equal parts zany characters and a detailed building planning simulator, you’re managing everything from hauntings to a monthly ledger. Two Point Studios’ first two games, Two Point…
