‘Hey folks’ Spotify is currently available onXbox OneandPS4. Why not Switch? Well, it’s complicated. For one, the Switch doesn’t have a lot of apps on it right now. That’s bad! But the Switch would be (wait for it)perfectfor Spotify, given that it’s portable. That’s good! But it looks like Spotify itself has put the kibosh on that whole idea. That’s…you get the picture. Despite it being one of the most upvoted suggestions on the site (11,000 votes!...

It was buried digitally in 2014 Scott Pilgrim vs. The World: The Gameis kind of legendary. Not only was it one of the best beat ’em ups of the past decade (I mean, it evenkicked offthe last decade as it was released in 2010, so that’s saying something), but it was also legendary for being de-listed and lost to the ether of the PSN and Xbox Live Arcade forever. You see,Scott Pilgrim vs....

Like with any board game, adaptingMonopolyto the gaming world is a challenging proposition. You can slavishly stick to the original formula or turn it into a nightmarishly exploitative mobile game—or both. At least that seems to be the trend these days. Well, travel back two decades with me to find a lovely gem for an exception, one that used theMonopolylicense as a springboard to create something unique. Monopolizing my free time While the gameplay and execution are quite imaginative for thisMonopolytycoon game, its titleMonopoly Tycoonmost definitely is not....

It took over a year to count everything Ubisoft has sold 1.6 million copies ofSouth Park: The Stick of Truth. The confirmation comes viaUbisoft’s recent earnings report. Though the developer had previously revealed that sales of 2014’s best RPG (yeah, I think it was the best – wanna fight about it?) had been “stronger than expected”, it’s taken them over a year to confirm the actual figures. No, I don’t know why it’s taken that long, either (although, cynic as I am, I wonder if there’s some sequel-tastic reason why they’re bringing it to our attention now?...
