Bethesdahas never been the best at developing satisfying gunplay.

If Miles Morales was a real-life flesh person without all of those fancy web-slinging powers, he would undoubtedly be a bit of a gamer.

My first Metroidvania was Super Metroid, and incidentally, it’s also still my favorite. As a seven year old, I had never known true terror before being trapped in Kraid’s lair as the massive beast emerged from the floor beneath me. The tone and atmosphere influenced so much of my taste, and the music is seared into my memory. I learned so many fundamentals from Super Metroid that I’ve been able to build upon throughout my game-playing career, and I don’t know if I would have developed such a passion for games had I not had such a formative experience playing Super Metroid....

At most, they would provide upgrades toalready existing builds. However, some of these new minions were so strong that Naga playstyles actually saw a dramatic shift with Season 4’s arrival.

FIFA 23 is the last entry of the series before its rebrand toEA Sports FClater this year, but the system looks set to stay exactly the same so the developer can rinse its players for as much money as possible....

They should fall right into the sweet spot - video games and trading card games have a lot of crossover in audience and subculture, I like rules and collecting things, I’m a big fan ofPokemon, and I love both traditional board games and more complex tabletop adventures. But cards have always eluded me. Part of it is the cost and commitment - with a video or board game, once you buy it, you own it....
