Is there really a Cuphead easy mode? The legendary game Cuphead, as we know it, harks back to a potent generation of ambitious indie breakthroughs. Yes, back in good old 2017, it was released on Steam and Xbox with others after for our joy--and perhaps torment. Incidentally, this is the main, if not the only, game to ever really nail down the vintage hand-drawn style with such success. The first time I'd ever seen it, I imagined it not just as maybe being one of the greatest games ever made, but also as a fulfillment I'd desired for years of…

So, it's finally here: Hogwarts Legacy. It's been an emotional rollercoaster for Potterheads since, well, pretty much always honestly. But it's finally here, isn't it? Something that once we ruminated on as a possibility actually exists now. I grabbed a little bit of gameplay way back in February, wondering if the storytelling was going to be up to par. Since then, I've picked it up again on console and I played it for several hours--and got into some of the real fiber of the game. I have to say that it is quite good honestly. If you ever dreamed of…

Ah, yes, a glorious sunrise in Minecraft valley amongst the idling cattle, rolling waters, and orange pattern of rain among my hermit-bound existence in the randomly generated terrain. For the record, I don't totally remember exactly what it was that I set out to do to do with all this stuff. There is definitely stuff in this game though--glorious stuff! First off, relax. Also, if you need to relax you might want to try creative mode when you first start the game. There are two modes, survival, and creativity. Survival includes fleeing and thumping creatures with sticks of all sorts,…
