Before Telltale hit the jackpot with The Walking Dead, it had Poker Night At The Inventory. Ostensibly a poker game, it was instead more of a stage for its various crossover characters to perform; seeing the Heavy from TF2 bounce off Max from Sam & Max, Strong Bad, and Tycho from the Penny Arcade webcomic was awesome. I’ve always been surprised that, other than a single sequel a few years later, Poker Night At The Inventory didn’t cast a larger shadow....

I’m not so good with money. There’s a world in which I’ve saved my paychecks and felt safe with my future, but it ain’t this world. If you sold a literal piece of shit and put aNintendologo on it, there’s a 50-50 chance I’d buy it. I’m a mark. I’m a sucker. And that’s why I own so many uselessAmiibos. I can’t imagine anybody ever thinking good things when they see that I own two identical Samus Amiibos....

I’m trying to love mySteam Deck. The bulky handheld is a great idea, but with only middling execution. Games, especially more graphically intensive affairs, need lots of tweaking before they run well, and the top end triple-A types sometimes need serious work before they run at all. My biggest gripe has always been with thebattery life. Mine lasts for four or five hours after an overnight charge, which is hardly enough to be considered portable....

Sonic Superstars, the new 2D gameSegaannounced atSummer Game Festlast week, is set to retail for $59.99. Given that it’s a full triple-A game, that seems reasonable. But some gamers are balking at the price point, saying that the game looks ‘indie’, and should be priced accordingly. Setting aside that this isn’t really true — games with polygonal graphics made by small teams rarely look as polished as Sonic Superstars does — the approach to gaming that this sentiment reveals is bizarre....

Earlier this week, IGN posted a TikTok video featuring a discussion about why so many games reviewed at the site end up scoring a seven. If seven means good, shouldn’t most games clock in below that? If most games are good, doesn’t “good” stop having any meaning? It’s a worthwhile topic, and it’s good for sites to provide a clear metric for what certain scores mean. A reader may interpret a five as “awful,” so it’s helpful to have a resource you’re able to point to that states, “No, a five is just mediocre....
