As a critic, I’ve been following Bandai Namco’s global expansion closely, and it’s fascinating to see how they’ve structured their development teams. Back in 2013, they smartly set up a studio in Singapore to focus on games for the Asian market, and another in Vancouver to handle the West. While they work on a lot of titles, their biggest hit so far has undoubtedly been Splatoon 3, a fantastic collaboration with Nintendo EPD that launched on the Switch in September 2022. The Singapore team has also been taking the lead on some later installments in well-known franchises – I’ve seen their work on Soul Calibur 6, Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown, and the fun VR rhythm game, Taiko no Tatsujin: VR Festival. They’re clearly becoming a key player in the industry.

Originally, the developers at Embark Studios planned for ARC Raiders to be a cooperative game where players worked together against the environment. However, they later decided to include player-versus-player (PvP) combat. This addition adds a layer of risk and excitement, as encountering another player could lead to either helpful assistance or a quick defeat. It’s difficult to picture ARC Raiders without PvP now, but Embark Studios likely didn’t anticipate it would spark such a competitive reaction among streamers.

Hollow Knight succeeded because it revitalized a popular game style with innovative ideas. It features a huge, seamlessly connected world that changes as you play, a unique and intriguing story based on original mythology, and a cast of wonderfully strange characters.

To celebrate five years of Ubisoft Connect, Ubisoft recently offered a free game: Immortals Fenyx Rising. The game, normally priced at $39.99, was given away as part of a celebration of the platform’s improvements, including features like cross-progression, cross-play, and cross-platform achievements. It was a great opportunity to get the game at no cost!

Throughout the series, characters have experienced both triumphs and setbacks, with some becoming incredibly powerful while others have faded into the background. The future of the series is unclear, but the latest events have resulted in a surprising shift in power dynamics. Here’s a look at the strongest characters in Dragon Ball, based on the current storyline.

So, Battlefield 6 has been out for a couple of months now, and I already saw it on sale for Black Friday – a pretty big discount! It’s good to see the developers are still working hard on the game, and right now they’re tackling the audio issues. Hopefully, that’ll make the experience even better!

Honestly, I’m not worried about whether Hellcase itself is legit – the bigger issue is figuring out how to avoid all the scam sites pretending to be Hellcase. That’s what I’m really trying to learn.

So, I was checking out the Game of the Year nominees for The Game Awards 2025, and it looks like you can actually play four of them on my PS5! Even better, Hideo Kojima’s Death Stranding 2: On the Beach is a PS5 exclusive, which is awesome. I was also really into Ghost of Yotei this year – it’s a beautiful open-world samurai game that got some great reviews, though it didn’t quite make the GOTY cut.
