It doesn’t help that the name is fairly ho hum, and it’s been ages since developer Slightly Mad Studios worked onNeed for Speed: Shift. But once I took notice of whatCARSactually stood for (Community Assisted Racing Simulator) and realized that it was slowly becoming more of a simulator enthusiast’s dream, it flew onto my radar....

The Paris Caper vs. The Emperor’s Treasure As you may have noticed,Rhythm Thiefhit the iOS marketplacelast week, but it’s not the same game as the 3DS version. Even though I knew they’d be different, after some extended testing, I discovered for myself thatThe Paris Caper(iOS) is basically an abridged version ofThe Emperor’s Treasure, which hit the 3DS in 2012.

Meditative gaming On the game shelf in my room, there exist some of the greatest video games of this generation. Titles likeNioh,Shadow of the Colossus,Gravity Rush 2,Uncharted 4,The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrimfor Switch, andXenoblade Chronicles 2. They sit largely unplayed, maybe a couple dozen minutes spent with each title here and there. It’s not because I don’t want to play them or that I don’t have the time. In fact, despite working a full-time job and doing all the preview and interviews I do for this site, I have more time than ever before....

Oopsie, doopsie I muffed it up again It’s been a while since we’ve had a nice, long discussion about Apple Arcade. I remember having high hopes for the service when it launched in 2019, and while enthusiasm around the service died down in the weeks following its debut, it actually maintained a steady stream of quality releases throughout 2020. A couple of them were covered, likeNecrobarista,Crossy Castle Castle, andThe Pathless. That’s a great trio of games, but there are several other notable titles that launched on the service last year that you should probably give a try if you haven’t already....
