Unseen Forces isone of the best vintage setsin thePokemon TCGboasting a strong roster of popular Pokemon to chase. This set of Pokemon follows Unseen Forces' theme perfectly, as each artwork depicts the Pokemon in a low-light scene, cloaked in shadows. This theme works exceptionally well for most Pokemon in the set, though a select few buck the trend with shining backgrounds. Whilesome of the most valuable Eeveelutions of all timestand out among the variety of Pokemon in Unseen Forces, plenty of other Pokemon offer more vibrant art to enjoy in the set....

They don’t make toys like they used to. Maybe it’s because toys these days are aimed at children and I’m a grown man, but I feel like the toys that were beamed into my eyeballs via TV advertising back in the day were simply better. Maybe it was plain old nostalgia, but toys just seemed to be more exciting, more robust, and morefunwhen I was a kid. Funny that. Despite my allergic reaction to modern merchandise – I went to thePokemonCentre in Tokyo a few years ago and didn’t buyanything!...

Summary Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2is a pretty fantastic game for the most part, but we’ve seen this year that even the most beloved and renowned games can become public enemy number one if developers decide to nerf popular strategies into the ground. Helldivers 2 has only just managed to recover from thehorrendous criticism and review bombingsit suffered due to unpopular nerfs earlier this year, and it looks like Space Marine 2 is on the same trajectory....

Shimmering Skies’ set championships kicked off this weekend at your local game stores. On every Saturday and Sunday throughout October, participating LGS’ will be hosting tournaments for Lorcana players with a chance to win playmats and Enchanted promo cards featuring Encanto’s Mirabel.

Summary Classic horror movies have been around for quite some time now. Quite a few of them still have quite an active or even a growing following. Some of them still have a growing series with new movies being pumped out or games being made directly inspired by the film. While movies are terrific, horror games allow you to absolutely immerse yourself into the world of horror. If you are in search of a video game to play that has a similar vibe or situation experienced in a horror film, look no further....

Quick Links The Lord of the Rings: Rings of Powerhas constantly introduced us to new characters from Tolkien’s universe, including the Silmarillion, and has adapted the story with some creative liberty. Some changes are good, some changes are necessary, but the quality of the show is largely consistent. One of the legendary characters introduced is Círdan the Shipwright, played by Ben Daniels, one of the oldest and wisest elves in Middle-earth....

Assassin’s Creed Shadowshas beendelayed by five months to February 2025, which I assume you already knew. If not, sorry for breaking the news so bluntly. Themain thing this delay buys it is time for the PC version to be readyfor launch at the same time, but it also allows for some other tweaks to be made to the game’s presentation and gameplay. However, one thing that will absolutely not happen is for Yasuke to be written out of the story....

Summary The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdomwas released last Friday, meaning it’s been on store shelves for just four days. It’s obviously much shorter than more recent Zelda games -and pretty good too- and you can probably expect people to be rolling credits pretty soon if they’ve been mainlining it over the weekend. You probably wouldn’t expect fans to be beating it in less than an hour. That’s exactly what’s happening though, as the game’s speedrunning community has been systematically reducing the amount of time it takes to beat the game following the discovery of a Wrong Warp glitch that is teleporting players to the game’s final dungeon....

TheGamer’s Game of the Year lists are coming up soon. If you aren’t aware, each of us gets to do our own special little list ranking our faves from the past 12 months and writing precious little blurbs about how much the Alone in the Dark remake healed our inner child and why the TMNT Hades clone is a love letter to turtle fans. If you can’t tell by my tone, it’s basically my favorite thing to do and I look forward to it all year long....

When Iinterviewed developer Emiliano Pastorellifour months ago, his passion for brewing beer shone through his every word. From his own escapades in homebrewing, to the home library of books on the subject and frequent visits to breweries both local and abroad, this was clearly a man who really loves beer. Therefore, I was worried that I wouldn’t quite get his game,Ale Abbey. I like a pint as much as the next bloke, whether that be a warm IPA in a corner of a dim pub or a crisp Guinness in a beer garden on a summer’s day, but I’ve never been interested in making the stuff myself....
