I sit down at my Summer Game Fest Fae Farm hands-on expecting just another Stardew Valley clone, another cozy game that will temporarily capture the attention of Disney adults and children. But within minutes, I realize I am very wrong. Sure, Fae Farm has crops you can farm, and cutesy little NPCs you can romance,…

Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse came out on June 2 to rave reviews and a box office weekend that trailed only The Super Mario Bros. Movie to become the second-largest of 2023 so far. There's only one thing holding the movie back apparently: people can't hear what the hell characters are saying sometimes.

This really shouldn't be news and it certainly shouldn't be surprising to anyone, but yes, new data from Circana shows that—as we told you in 2017—women play video games. In fact, more than half of all Switch owners are women. And a very vocal bunch of idiots are reacting about as well as you'd expect to this…

If you thought Control was a mindfuck, you're not ready for Alan Wake 2. Remedy says the sequel that's been 13 years in the making is the most expansive game the studio has ever done, and that's saying a lot if you consider its impressive oeuvre.

     Best Diablo 4 Barbarian build

What is the best Diablo 4 Barbarian build? You won't be able to go far without hearing about the Whirlwind Barbarian. It's the best Diablo 4 Barbarian build right now, and there's little reason to believe it'll be trumped by another anytime soon. In fact, despite getting a timely nerf just a few days into early access, it still ended up being the setup to carry the first player to level 100 in Hardcore.

While that player did lose their character a few dozen hours later, it wasn't through any fault of this exceptional Barbarian build. It's still the best of the best, but even it can't save you from the woes of a shoddy internet connection. So if spinning like a Beyblade isn't for you, consider rerolling with the best Diablo 4 Necromancer build, Sorcerer build, Druid build, or Rogue build instead. Be sure to check out our ultimate guides to every Diablo 4 class and the best Diablo 4 builds, too.

     We need one Lord of the Rings game to rule them all

In the land of Mordor where the shadows lie, that is where I wish I could be. I would still suffer less there than I have been while playing some of the recent games inspired by Lord of the Rings, like Gollum. As a devoted fan of Tolkien's universe and (almost) everything to come from it, I am beside myself with frustration at how underwhelmed I've been by recent LotR games. There is perhaps no better set of fantasy tales to choose from than Tolkien's for a rich story game, yet so few have taken full advantage of the source material. From LEGO games to technical messes, the history of Lord of the Rings' relationship with videogames is turbulent, to say the least.
