Metabombed: NBA 2K19 Is 'Trash And Predatory'
Time for another Metabombed article, because 2K Games is rubbish and deserves it!

It feels a little mean to post this, kicking a studio while it's down, but it's not like it's untrue. So here we go, with your ol' pal Jim Sterling's thoughts on the company Telltale Games became befo...

Underhero is a fun platforming RPG that puts players in the boots of a faceless mook attempting to subvert his evil overlord. It's quite good indeed!

We've somehow made it to 200 episodes of this weekly gibberish! We raise a glass of Fantarito and Cyberpunk beer, we go round the twist, we reminisce, and we talk about some of our favorite games of t...

This came out around the same time Nintendo started charging for online play, and while the blame's on Capcom, the fact this was promoted in a Nintendo Direct makes the timing absolutely awful.

Nintendo is a ridiculous company that cannot simply do something simple. There's always a complication, a caveat, a catch. Even cloud saving, which every other platform has nailed, must be subject to ...

Shadow of the Tomb Raider is fine. It's simply okay, in a mundane way. While the previous games in the "reboot" continuity were great action adventures, this is predominantly a swimming simulator with...

2K Games has called premium currency and microtransactions an "unfortunate reality" in gaming.

Dragon Quest XI: Echoes of an Elusive Age is pretty good. Square Enix have put out a pretty good JRPG that, shockingly, doesn't need to reinvent itself with every sequel.

Perhaps the best Spider-Man game yet made, Marvel's Spider-Man feels terrific to play and has a near-flawless combat system. Just a shame about the open world busywork tasks and lack of villains.

All the hots from Gamescom, including Cyberpunk 2077 and Man of Medan. Plus, more Shenmue, Donut County, and other stuff!

Donut County, a charming little puzzle game with a dorky sense of humor, is a short but sweet little jaunt.

Shenmue was rereleased this week. It should have been remastered because even for its time, this "bold" game takes serious liberties.
