While Pokemon GO Spotlight Hours are normally looked upon favorably by players, Trubbish Spotlight Hour was particularly well received. Trubbish and its evolved form Garbador aren’t anything too remarkable, but the Spotlight Hour was a hit thanks to the Pokemon’s bugged shiny rates.

For hockey fans, the NHL playoffs are the best time of year. Over the course of two months, sixteen teams compete for the Stanley Cup in a tournament that’s one of the most dramatic in sports. We used NHL 24 to predict the winners of each series, and there were some surprises.
Round One
The favorites largely prevailed in the first round. Edmonton, Vancouver, and Florida were all particularly dominant, each winning in 5 games. The President’s Trophy winning New York Rangers needed 7 games to get past the Washington Capitals, and the Jets defeated the Avalanche in 7 games in what would be consid ..read more

Many titles love to put their own spins on traditional formulas by bringing them to unusual settings. Sometimes they mix it with other genres for varying results. Another Crab’s Treasure goes for both approaches at once and succeeds at hooking you with its quirky features. But the line, unfortunately, breaks apart while trying to sink you under its deep waters.
Twenty Thousand Crabs Under the Seas
The adventure begins when Kril, a hermit crab living peacefully on the shores, gets his shell… sorry, I mean his home, taken by a loan shark. Yup, a literal loan shark. Apparently, there’s a new duch ..read more

Set in a post-apocalyptic world, Stellar Blade is a gorgeous, challenging action-adventure game from Shift Up that blends Dark Souls and Devil May Cry, while boasting an intriguing plot. Overall, and despite the controversy leading up to its release, the new title from Shift Up is truly stellar.

To say the Pokemon GO Rediscover Yourself Avatar update wasn’t well received by players would be an understatement. When the new avatar models and customization system were revealed, online forums were flooded with critical feedback, with the overwhelming majority of vocal players expressing their distaste for the new avatars.
While many players may think their efforts are in vain, the uproar has caught Niantic’s attention.

It has not been a good launch week for Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes, the Kickstarter project and spiritual successor to classic JRPG series Suikoden. Not only has it been largely panned for its bland narrative and characters, it’s also one of the buggiest launches we’ve seen in a while.
More specifically, there’s a character named Lan that you can recruit partway through the game, but if you progress too far, you’ll be locked out of getting her for the rest of the playthrough. This isn’t going to stop you from seeing the rest of the game of course, but it will prevent you from getting 100 ..read more

If you hate disruption cards like Debrii, Black Widow, and Green Goblin, you’ll want to stay away from Marvel Snap, as another disruption card is here in White Widow. But is she worth your resources? Let’s find out.
How White Widow Works in Marvel Snap
White Widow is one of the more complicated cards in Marvel Snap due to its wording and the fact that it is technically two cards that combine the abilities of Debrii, Black Widow, and Green Goblin. Her ability reads: “On Reveal: Add a Widow’s Kiss to your opponent’s side of this location.”
The Widow’s Kiss itself reads: Ongoing: This has -4 Powe ..read more

If you didn’t look extra closely at the details for the Rediscover Kanto event in Pokemon GO, you might miss it: buried at the bottom of the Biome feature, there’s a quick note about the Pokemon GO debut of Wiglett. This Paldean Pokemon looks like Kanto’s Diglett, but the Pokedex entry is clear that they’re not related. So why is this Pokemon making its first GO appearance during a Kanto event?
Whether or not it makes sense, Wiglett is here, and players are thrilled about it. Well, mostly thrilled, and maybe a little bit confused. After all, what’s this elongated Diglett clone doing popping up ..read more
