Let's keep the hype train going!

Things get grizzly as we discuss a beary good game.

Mario's first foray into role-playing that doesn't involve Tanooki suits. I mean, what?

Who could say no to more Pokemon?

The three day delay is over.

Its going to be a crazy month for JRPGs.

Yarr.

It's not quite a review... but it's close!

Surprise, *expletive deleted*!

Paging Scott and Mike!

I just want to vacation in Alola already.

More story, new playable character, and more.

Letting you know what's good.

We must go deeper.

Every night from tomorrow until it's finished!

A game that is sort of released tomorrow, but also last Tuesday.

Can't wait for those pirate costumes!

Welcome Rob Rogan, a new member of our reviewing team!

Awards, a podcast, show floor gallery, and a consolidated list of our updates.

Spend your Sunday with Death.

Now no one can miss out on it!

More alchemy fun for everyone.

Still Japan-only though.

Can you ever be not creepy in a bird mask though?

A day one review for the newest Wii U RPG!

The PC's fantastic lineup might get even better.

E3 was fun, but I guess it's time to get back to real life.

A chat with Naoki Yoshida.

We seem to be experimenting some techmological differences...

I summon the unstoppable Exvius!

I promise not to make an Objection joke.

Oh great, now they'll all want one.

Not the shopping Black Friday - one with political significance.

In which Rob gives a depressingly good example of typical moral choices in games.

Can more games release this kind of artwork please?

Not necessarily Derek's favorite game of the show.

Happy Trails to you...

Don't worry, no banjos here.

The guildening.

We talked to the series creator!

Bask in the glory.

Keep it up, Square Enix.

I mean, who doesn't need more fleshy souls in their life? Oh and there's new media too.

I once caught a nasty case of Scarlet Curiosity. Not fun.

Yes, we will continue to mock that outfit.

And I thought all the cool stuff was at E3....

I, for one, welcome our new vampire-crystal overlords.

A game about the virtual world arrives exclusively in the virtual world.

Not a song by Alicia Keys, Clint Black or Billy Joel.

Loot? You just said the magic word.

They mostly come at night... mostly.

Look at that, an E3 announcement that we actually didn't see coming.

Truly a massive update!

Captain Janeway: The Game.

Not a remake of I am Legend.

Klaatu barada roguelike.

The content blitz continues!

The question is, will it be titled "The Urge" in Norway?

Speaking of creepy imagery...

Betcha didn't think this game's art would be the one to incite nightmares, didja?

Shades of .hack?

One for each magazine editor.

Only Xenophobes can pass up this deal.

"Stylish" only begins to describe this one.

If you're a sucker for space exploration, it's a must-see.

A Souls-and-roguelike that looks to be as difficult as it is foreboding.

The apocalypse continues to loom.

A new game from legends in the point & click biz.

Revisiting a game we checked on a few months ago.

Dance, magic dance.

Movies based on books aren't always good. But what about games?

Fear not, there's still more E3 to come.

That outfit though...

One more for the evening.

Find out about a new mode in Deus Ex: Mankind Divided.

Surprise, expletive deleted!
