Oh boy.

Agefield High: Rock the School is now available through Steam. This game has consistently promoted itself as being inspired by the "raunchy" coming of age teen comedies from the early 2000s. It's also taken heavy inspiration from Bully, the 2008 Rockstar Games title that everybody keeps wanting to see a sequel for.

Critic reviews for Agefield High are few and far between at present. Of the four professional reviews that have gone live, the high score...

The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered was just released on the Nintendo Switch 2 today. The game has been available on other platforms since April 2025 but the patches have been severely lacking. The game released with rather significant performance issues on nearly all platforms, perhaps due to the fact that it's an Unreal Engine 5 coat of paint on top of Gamebryo for game logic. That's a real one-two punch of performance issues working...
