It’s a point of pride for the developer The flashy sword-slashing action game 34Everlast has an eye-catching look and an even more interesting conceit. According to developer Ogami, players will be able to “complete the game in as little as 10 minutes, so you can finish it before you go to bed.” In other words, 34Everlast is “super-concentrated action entertainment for the gamers of the past who are exhausted from work.” You’ve gotta see the trailer (via Gemtasu). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=818538ZvTdk The game’s…

Every generation has their Disney, and just as I grew up singing along to Ariel in The Little Mermaid and Mrs Potts (so superior to Belle) in Beauty and the Beast, so my children are regularly babysat by Frozen and Encanto. I watched the films on a VHS, my children stream them,…

Plenty of games have launched in an unfinished state, but it's rare to see a port of a game first released in 2004 be so buggy that people who buy it can’t actually finish it. On Twitter game developer Aspyr admitted it was aware that Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II was currently impossible to finish when played on the Switch. Aspyr’s bread and butter is porting beloved games so you would think it would know better than to ship something so busted. KOTOR II launched on the Nintendo Switch June 8, 2022, and as…

I hope it stays interesting that whole time The jury is still out on Sonic Frontiers, as an array of takes are swirling from folks who have played it. For now, we can look at some facts. The Sonic Frontiers length is looking like “20-30 hours” according to director Morio Kishimoto (who spoke to IGN). Naturally, that length is variable.

A Food and Drug Administration committee will meet in mid-June to review data on COVID-19 vaccines for children six months through five years old, the agency announced Monday. If all goes as expected, it could sign off on the shots for that age group within days of that meeting.
