1999 saw the significant debut of “Survival Kids” for the Game Boy Color, as it introduced fundamental survival mechanics to handheld gaming. In this game, players adopted the character of either a boy or girl stranded on an uninhabited island following a storm, tasked with managing essential needs like hunger, thirst, fatigue, and health. The game offered engaging features such as item crafting, a changing environment, and non-linear progression. A sequel followed, and the franchise eventually expanded into the “Lost in Blue” series on Nintendo DS and Wii, maintaining the survival theme. Recently, during the April Nintendo Direct, a trailer for “Survival Kids” was unveiled among the Nintendo Switch 2 launch titles. Now, a major new feature has been disclosed.

10 years have now passed since the debut of “Heroes of the Storm”. Although Blizzard’s renowned crossover MOBA has been in maintenance for a while, it still gets occasional tweaks to its balance and bug fixes, ensuring that it stays active even without new content being added.

With the unveiling of the Extradimensional Crisis expansion for Pokemon TCG Pocket, the existing meta underwent significant changes. Cards such as Buzzwole Ex and Silvally demonstrated exceptional power and consistency throughout gameplay. Meanwhile, decks utilizing cards from previous sets, like Charizard Ex with Incineroar Ex, continue to show strength. Interestingly, Solgaleo Ex found a formidable ally in Shiinotic from the Extradimensional Crisis set. Since its debut alongside Shining Revelry, Giratina Ex has been one of the strongest cards, particularly when paired with Darkrai Ex. This duo has earned notoriety for its passive, stall-focused playstyle, and while it received a boost with the new expansion, this improvement comes at a steep price.

After their release in November 2022, the video games Pokemon Scarlet and Violet were swiftly criticized for issues like frame rate drops, graphics quality, crashes, and corrupted save file data during regular gameplay. These performance problems led to several apologies from The Pokemon Company, who have also been working on updates to address these persistent issues. Despite the ninth generation of mainline Pokemon games surpassing 26 million units sold so far, the performance problems with the original Switch version of Pokemon Scarlet and Violet continue to be a subject of debate.

Although the recent additions were limited in number, Xbox’s “Stream Your Own Game” library is already packed with blockbuster titles like both versions of Kingdom Come: Deliverance and Mortal Kombat 1, as well as popular releases such as Cyberpunk 2077 and various Ubisoft titles.

As the release of Death Stranding 2 approaches within a few weeks, the Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB) has unveiled its official rating: “M for Mature.” This implies the game includes mature content, such as Sam engaging in fights with humans, robots, and spectral entities using hand-to-hand combat, firearms, and stealth strategies. Interestingly, Hideo Kojima previously hinted at a more pronounced emphasis on combats in Death Stranding 2, but there’s a slight detail in the ESRB description that may intrigue some fans: the mention of spectral entities.
