    Megabonk Developer Pulls Nomination for The Game Awards

    Not his first rodeo.

    Megabonk was quite the sleeper hit this year. For a little while, you really couldn't escape the action-roguelike's pull on Steam or streaming platforms like Twitch. It saw an all-time player peak of over 117,000 and pulled in over 48,000 positive reviews on Steam.

    It probably wasn't too surprising to players then when Megabonk was included as one of the nominees for Best Debut Indie for The Game Awards 2025. The problem here is that the game's developer,...

    Ubisoft Blames Lack of Interest in Traditional Full-Priced Games for Falling Sales

    It's all about the F2P and live-service games.

Specifically, Ubisoft claims that "many new games are struggling to stand out" and they cannot "achieve the sales they may once had had."

    Ubisoft is saying that a one-time purchase of a "full game" that costs between...

It’s not a game about winning, or skill, or reflexes. It’s a game about empathy, and it delivers one of the most powerful, moving experiences of th...

  • How Many Games Did You Complete in 2025?
    by Shawn Zipay
    Make up your own definition of "complete."

    Was 2025 a big year for game completions for you, or were you more of a "stick to one never-ending, live-service game for the entire year" sort of player?

    For this, you can take whatever definition you want as a game "completion." Beat the main story? Earned 100% of the game's achievements? Or simply played enough that you're satisfied with what you accomplished and have no plans to return any time...
    I did not complete any game in 2025
