It would be a gross understatement to say that I do not enjoy Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid. The viral winter anime turns my stomach with its nauseating mix of saccharine anime tropes and raunchy fan service. And, on top of that, somebody who is both dear to me and on my apartment's lease will not shut up about it. So, to really level with him, I took my housemate to a Dragon Maid-themed maid cafe in New Jersey.

You've probably never given any of the SpongeBob games a second thought, but one speedrunner is playing thousands of hours of SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom in order to change that.

This past weekend, BitSummit got underway in Kyoto. Each year, the event gets bigger and bigger, and this year's appeared to be the biggest yet!

There have been a lot of 4X games set in space lately, from Stellaris to the Master of Orion reboot. Some of them have been good! None, however, have been as good as Endless Space 2.

Bungie is constantly changing and improving Destiny, though rarely in the precise ways players have requested. That seems like it will hold true for Destiny 2.

DC's next big event, Dark Nights: Metal, is promising to head to some strange places. How strange? "The Justice League clad in '90s action figure armour plating fighting in an alien combat arena" strange. And honestly, it sounds kind of great.

Fifth grader Hibiki Sakai sent Nintendo a letter, thanking the company for its Rhythm Heaven games. Hibiki is blind, and these music titles are the only games he's really able to play. Nintendo replied to his letter in a most thoughtful way.

If you had "autumn 2018" in the Red Dead Redemption 2 delay pool, congratulations. Rockstar announced today that the highly anticipated Western game will not make it this year after all.

Injustice 2 has just dropped in Australia! To celebrate, we've teamed up with Warner Bros. to give away 5 x Xbox One and 5 x PS4 copies of the game!

Toby Ott is 27 years old. He's been playing video games since he was five, when he first tried out Mortal Kombat in an arcade. Which sounds like a fairly common gaming past, until you learn that Toby has bilateral anophthalmia, a rare condition which means he was born without eyeballs.

If you visited the Twitch home page over the last couple of weeks you probably saw the usual suspects: League of Legends, Hearthstone, Counter-Strike. In a twist, GTA Online has joined that list thanks to a former officer of the law, Eli Thompson. People love him so much, he's already become one of Twitch's hottest channels. On his first day alone, he had around 43,000 concurrent viewers.

I am standing at the foot of an enormous mountain, barely clad. Rain lashes me, and in the distance there is lightning and thunder. I am shivering, but I know – at least I think I know – that atop this mountain shelter awaits. The promise of a warming meal and a warmer bed. Perhaps companionship. But first, this mountain. One step at a time. One aching, tired, lonely step at a time.

I was so proud on Friday evening, walking out of the Microsoft Store. I'd just bought three wireless Xbox One receivers. "Finally," I thought, "those bloody cords will be gone."

May hasn't been as hectic as the last couple of months when it comes to releases, but it's certainly not for lack of trying.

But the one that will probably catch most people's eyes is the return of an underrated gem: the remaster of Vanquish hits PC this week, complete with an unlocked framerate and 4K support.

A prominent World of Tanks YouTuber who is a member of a promotional program for the game had to remove a critical video after developer Wargaming threatened a copyright strike against it.

Not heroine. Hero, period.

Injustice 2 has only been available since Wednesday, but players think they have already found its strongest — or possibly cheapest — character. Deadshot, a frequent Batman villain whose sole power is that he can shoot well, brings a wide variety of firearms to NetherRealm Studios' latest DC Comics fighter. Some players are already frustrated with his ability to win matches without landing a single close-range attack.
