  New Earthworm Jim Game Announced Exclusively for Intellivision Amico

  
  Where do I even begin with this one?
  
  There once existed a game console called the Intellivision. It was released first in 1979 and ran through until about 1990. Its controller consisted of some side buttons, a disc-based d-pad, and a 12 digit keypad that accepted plastic overlays for every game so that you knew what the buttons did.
  
  For whatever reason, Intellivision is coming back as Intellivision Amico. It's slated to be released in late 2020. It still features...

  Anthem's Dwindling Playerbase is Causing Issues with Matchmaking

  
  Less than a week after BioWare announced an indefinite delay of most of their Anthem roadmap comes word that its dwindling player base is having some issues with proper matchmaking.

  According to a new report from Forbes, players are finding that they are unable to consistently...
