Summary Monster Hunter Wildshad a pretty successful beta period recently,racking up a ridiculous number of players, who got to test out the game properly andput the character creator though its paces. It was a grand old time,and while there were a few complaints here and there, it was a display of confidence from Capcom, which knows full well it has another banger.

I have the game for you. The Thaumaturgehas everything a good RPG should: compelling characters, the seeds of revolution, turn-based battles, andRasputin.

Summary PlayStationreleased a collection celebrating 30 years since the launch of its original console last month, but getting a hold of anything from that collection has been a low-key nightmare.

I’ve been very lucky withPokemon TCG Pocketso far. Well, at least, judging by the expressions of a few friends and colleagues, they are definitely jealous of my majestic pulling power. Just this morning, I pulled a Mewtwo ex and a Cubone full art, while yesterday saw me open a booster pack containing both a Venusaur ex and a full art Giovanni trainer card. I have what it takes to be the very best, and I want to share that talent with everyone I can....

It’s time for the most depressing list of the year - all the games we’ve heard nothing about in 2024. Games take a long time to develop, and this often happens while shrouded in secrecy, so several months or even years slip by without a peep. In fact,some of the games here were also here last year. It’s tough out there, gamers. Some games from last year’s hall of shame have since revealed themselves to the world though, so all hope is not lost - at least for most of these....

This is especially true ofyour incredible companions. Their life-threatening and world-saving adventures with Shepard change some of them, whether it’s their personality or overall outlook on the world....
