Ah, love. It’s complicated, intense, and it makes people do crazy things. Sometimes it can be a beautiful joy, sometimes it can absolutely heart-wrenching.

Kirby and the Forgotten Land may not be a fully open-world game, but it’s undoubtedly the biggest Kirby game yet in many of the ways that matter most. Of course, that just means that you’ll want to start exploring the game as soon as it is unlocked on March 25th. Anyone familiar with the release strategy for most major Nintendo Switch games should have some idea of when they can expect to start playing Kirby and the Forgotten Land, but everyone else may be a little confused by the somewhat…odd way that first-party Switch games are typically released....

Larian Studios’ long-anticipated role-playing title Baldur’s Gate 3 has experienced an insane number of sales in just the first week of its launch in early access. This is not entirely surprising, considering the original two Baldur’s Gate titles are considered by many to be among the best D&D-based video games to date, and it’s been exactly 20 years since the release of Baldur’s Gate 2: Shadows of Amn. The early access version of Baldur’s Gate 3, set in the Forgotten Realms, uses the Dungeons and Dragons Fifth Edition ruleset and allows gamers to customize their player character by choosing from 16 races, 13 classes and subclasses, and a robust selection of physical attributes....

Dragon Ball is releasing a new horror-based video game that looks like the anime version of Dead by Daylight. “Dragon Ball villains Cell, Buu, and Frieza might not be much of a threat to Super Saiyan God Goku With Cheese, but to normal, non-fighting characters they’re downright terrifying. Bandai Namco harnesses that terror in Dragon Ball: The Breakers, an asymmetrical survival game that pits seven non-powered players against one all-powerful anime bad guy....

Check out these 11 films from the 2000s that are better than their Rotten Tomatoes scores made them out to be. “There is perhaps no decade in history with pop culture as trashy as the 2000s. The aughts were infamouslytrashy! Part of what contributed to that, aside from people ravenously consuming tabloids about heiresses and young starlets in outfits of questionable taste, was the lot of outrageous, cringe-worthy, and typically befallen to the category of good-bad-movie-that’s-fun-to-watch that came out at the time....

We already knew that the game would be receiving a major visual upgrade and, in a new interview, Hangar 13’s president and chief creative officer, Haden Blackman, has explained that the team is actually making improvements with the lessons it learned from developing the two sequels....

Magic: The Gathering’s Commander format allows players to build decks around legendary creatures that are selected as a deck’s given commander. While there are hundreds of commander options to choose from, they range greatly in their strength and flexibility. While some popular commanders such as Edgar Markov demand steep price tags, plenty of great commander options are perfect for those on a budget.
