How Black Myth: Wukong Got Robbed at The Game Awards

The Game Awards Show Their True Colors From the first trailer, Black Myth: Wukong captivated the gaming world with jaw-dropping visuals, stunning combat mechanics, and a narrative rooted in rich Chinese mythology. Game Science delivered something we rarely see in AAA gaming—a unique blend of artistry and action that didn’t feel watered down for mass appeal. Now compare that to Astro Bot, which, sure, was charming and polished, but let’s be real—it’s a platformer that could have come out on the PS4 and no one would have noticed. What Astro Bot lacks is the cultural depth and sheer ambition that Wukong brought to the table. Let’s toss some truth bombs into the ring, eh? Sales Figures: Wukong sold over 10 million copies in its first two months, dwarfing Astro Bot’s mediocre 3 million. Player Engagement: At its peak, Wukong had […]

Path of Exile 2 Servers Down: Let’s Have Some Patience!

PATH OF EXILE 2: EARLY RELEASE WOES Patience is a virtue!Let’s be real for a second: early game launches, especially for titles as ambitious as Path of Exile 2 (PoE2), can feel like you’re riding a rollercoaster that’s still under construction. Grinding Gear Games (GGG) recently graced us with the long-awaited early access to their sequel, but things haven’t been entirely smooth.While the studio is known for its stellar ARPG legacy, PoE2’s early release has been more of a symphony of chaos—and not the poetic kind. A QUICK RECAP: WHAT IS PATH OF EXILE 2? For the uninitiated (or those living under a proverbial gaming rock), Path of Exile 2 is the sequel to GGG’s critically acclaimed PoE, an ARPG that’s basically the free-to-play juggernaut to Diablo’s paid shenanigans.PoE2 promises a fresh campaign, revamped visuals, an updated skill gem system, and […]

Legacy Gaming Media’s Hit Job on Black Myth: Wukong?

GAMING MEDIA WENT BANANAS WHILE GAMERS EMBRACED THE MONKEY KING The world of gaming is no stranger to controversy, but Black Myth: Wukong’s nomination for Game of the Year (GOTY) at The Game Awards has sparked a bizarre media pile-on that’s hard to ignore. If you’ve dared to Google “Black Myth: Wukong nominated for Game of the Year,” you’ve likely noticed something suspicious—almost every major gaming outlet seems to be running with the same angle: Black Myth: Wukong is the “lowest-rated game” to get a GOTY nod. Let’s unpack why this narrative stinks worse than a rotting peach. THE "LOWEST-RATED GOTY NOMINEE SMEAR CAMPAIGN Gaming outlets love to harp on Black Myth: Wukong's Metascore, repeatedly labeling it as undeserving of its nomination. But here’s the kicker: that “low score” wasn’t driven by player reviews—it was driven by the very critics […]

What is the Banana Game? The Peel Back on Steam’s Clicker

What the Hell Even is the Banana Game? If you've been checking the Steam charts to watch the spiraling downfall of Dragon Age: The Veilguard's woke propaganda being flushed down the toilet by gamers worldwide - you might have noticed Banana chillin near the top (#2 at the time of writing with 391,043 concurrent players) and thought to yourself, "What the hell is Banana?".Completely understandable question.So, here we are diving into Banana on Steam, a game that probably started as a fever dream in someone’s fruit bowl one morning that has officially become a Steam sensation...although not without its concerns, controversies, and criticisms.For those of us who remember the sheer click-mania of Cookie Clicker, Banana takes that concept and cranks up the absurdity, adding layers of charm, social features, and a whole barrel of rare bananas to keep us clicking.

Dragon Age The Veilguard Failed

Why the New Dragon Age is Failing with Flying Colors

Image Credit: Dragon Age: The Veilguard | BioWare | Electronic Arts Welcome to Dragon Age: The Veilguard, a title that's been in development for almost 10 years, estimated between $80 million and $200 million to make, and hyped as the next epic chapter in the Dragon Age saga while (twist ending) in reality it might just be the franchise’s very undoing. Because in a world where Baldur’s Gate 3 has already proven that players can have meaningful choices and gritty, raw freedom, The Veilguard only seems interested in talking down to their audience while shoveling their Concord-sized agenda down the unwilling throats of gamers everywhere. While I'm not going to sit and pretend that every single facet of this game was a complete disaster, I can say with unabashed certainty that, in a game that's supposed to be an immersive […]

The Best Upcoming Fall Anime of 2024

Welcome to the wild world of anime in 2024, where titans finally fell, demons continue to be slain, and every other show seems to have someone stuck in a video game or reincarnated into something new. It’s been a year packed with climaxes, cliffhangers, and comebacks—whether we wanted them or not. The anime landscape has never been more chaotic, with long-running series reaching their emotional conclusions, while a flood of cookie-cutter isekai tries to fill the gaps. But hey, who are we to complain when we’re still glued to our screens like it’s day one? If you're the type of fan who's been around long enough to watch Naruto graduate to Boruto and still argue whether Attack on Titan is the best anime of all time, 2024 has given you a lot to chew on. So grab your popcorn (or […]
