Mussolini. Koopa. For far too long have these three names been thought nearly synonymous within the pantheon of historical villainy; for far too long has the name “Bowser” been equated with evil, malevolence, and selfishness. No longer. Today, we celebrate all those things good and righteous in the personality of King Bowser Koopa, ruler of the Mushroom Kingdom and caretaker of its denizens. In what may be considered a year-late companion piece toSix Sinister Things About Super Mario, it’s time to examine what makes Bowser not only a morally laudable character, but also a wholly sympathetic one....

Washington D.C. still needs your help As previously reported, strategic shooterTom Clancy’s The Division 2is not quite readyto hang up its holsters just yet. While many thought the team at Massive Entertainment was getting ready to sunset the team-based merc shooter, the developer announced that 2021 would see a fresh run of content for the title’s dedicated playerbase.

Who wants some moreZeldamusical tribute-ygoodness? Trick question! Youalldo! Let’s get pumped up with “I Fight Ganon” by I Fight Dragons. I don’t know whether it’s that lead-in that sounds like John Williams’Supermantheme or the minute-long a cappella with just drums in the background, but once the guitars kick in, you feel like leaping off the ground and flying to the stars. Come back down to earth soon so you’re able to check out aZelda I&IImedley as well as a little something we in the biz like to call the MUTHAFKIN’ SONG OF MUTHAFKIN’ STORMS!...

‘The land of Valisthea is studded with Mothercrystals’ Final Fantasy XVIis on my radar in a big way. I think people are sleeping on it for now, as a lot of non-Final Fantasy XIVplayers aren’t aware of the raw talent that Naoki “Yoshi-P” Yoshida possesses. And that’s fine!XVIwill probably have its day soon enough as we pry more actual info out of Square Enix. It seems like that era is dawning today, asthe official website forXVIhas opened up....

Coming soon to Steam Powerpuff Girls: Defenders of Townsvilleis heading to Steam for Windows, Mac, and Linux on Jun 17, 2025. Huh? Where did this come from? Radiangames, a developer known for its line of Xbox Live indie games, was in need of contract work last summer and pitched ideas to various companies, including Cartoon Network. “It turned out that Cartoon Network would have aPowerpuff Girlsspecial TV episode coming out in January, and [one of the pitches, a “Metroidvania+Defendergame”] would be a great fit,” wrote Radiangames....

Whoa, who’s that giant guy? The Seven Deadly Sinswas one of the more entertaining anime releases of the past couple of years, so to see it’s already got a good looking game coming out is just fantastic news. What’s even more fantastic, however, is how soon we’ll be getting it. Cramming yet another release into early 2018,The Seven Deadly Sins: Knights of Britanniawill hit the Americas and Europe February 9. The plot features the new sin of Pride, Escanor, a giant man (who apparently will be introduced in the upcoming season) who gains more strength during the day, but weakens at night....

Or, this week with the Insider program The Xbox One built-in GameDVR function has been lagging behind for a while — quite literally so, with its limitation of 720p. It was a sore spot for Microsoft given that Sony had already surpassed them on the PS4, but now they’ll be brought up to their competitor’s level with a new update. Out now by way of the Xbox Insider’s Program, you’re able to upgrade your Xbox One firmware to reach 1080p30 capture capabilities (and opt to have capture footage save on an external drive for a massive session)....

Borderlandsis a fascinating series. It does so much right, and it revels in excess: often to its detriment. But withTiny Tina’s Wonderlands, it tells you what it is upfront: an over-the-top zany role-playing parody that could go anywhere, untethered to continuity. And that’s what drew me to it in the first place. Here’s aTiny Tina’s Wonderlandshands-on preview based on our brief slice of it! After accepting 10,000 EULA/privacy policy notices from 2K/Gearbox/SHIFT, I was on my way....

It was brought to my attention that many readers would be unable to enjoy the article thanks to spoilers. As such, I have added a link to the spoiler-freecheesecake gallery. Please think of this as a consolation for when you finish. Some background: Fellow Dtoider Scary Womanizing Pig Mask put up a post recently aboutwhy he thought the ending ofPersona 4was poorly told and unoriginal. While he did make a lot of good points, I disagreed with the notion of the ending being a mere copy ofPersona 3’s....

A word from our sponsor The MMORPG genre stands far apart from other game types in many ways, but perhaps the biggest difference is in the longevity expected by its most ardent fans. While you may pick up the average shooter, adventure game or single-player RPG with the expectation that the majority of meaningful content is packed into the original release (yes, even with publishers’ modern obsessions with DLC and season passes), MMOs are expected to grow and expand for years after they debut....
