'The Final Exam' is a PC survival horror game made by the nonprofit, Change the Ref, in collaboration with a game developer, Webcore Games, about surviving a school shooting.

Mario and Luigi are back in another role-playing adventure, but this time, they’re bro-ing it up with some unique moves, including holding hands and spinning around until they resemble a flying saucer. These actions are literally called “bro moves.” They help add a little spice to Mario & Luigi: Brothership and offer a return to form for Mario both for better (it’s some lighthearted fun) and worse (for our poor Princess).

Fifteen years after Riot Games released League, a little upstart that resembled Dota 2, launched on October 27, 2009, millions of people still play the game every day.

Eight years ago, on Halloween, people around the world helped a magical cat named Momo defeat ghosts and save a school from being destroyed by a ghost named Marshmallow.

Minutes into my playthrough, I’m handed a Death Note and told to do my worst before I get caught. I whip out the notebook and start taking names, but another player sees me and I’m already getting flack.

Arrest her!” My second-in-command woefully stands by me. “Pass me the Death Note,” he whispers. “I don’t know how to do that yet!” I say.

Fallout has such a wealth of lore that it is downright impossible to fully explore it all on the small screen. But some questions are more pressing than others. For example, we all want — need! — to know more about how Walter Goggins’ character, The Ghoul, got the way he is. Once a heroic family man, now hardened outlaw, the Ghoul is a menace you can’t help but root for. Turns out, we may be in luck.

Andre Rebelo, better known as “Typical Gamer” to his millions of followers on YouTube and Fortnite, was one of several creators paid to promote PlayStation’s now-failed live shooter. “I was actually sponsored by Concord. I actually enjoyed the game,” Rebelo said. “It was lacking in some parts, for sure, but I enjoyed the game at the core.”

The cat adventure Stray (finally!) lands on the Nintendo Switch today. The adorable 2022 game was originally available on just PlayStation and PC.
