Unfortunately, this results in certain characters, hero and villain alike, being relegated to the sideline in recreations of the story even if they played a major role originally. Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot has rectified this mistake for one character, the first major threat to the safety of Earth, the full-blooded Saiyan, Raditz....

I’m not going to lie: the PC announcement of Dragon Quest XI S: Echoes of a Fallen Age — Definitive Edition (which I will never again refer to by its full name, because come on) caught me by surprise.

The Ereban: Shadow Legacy trailer was among that flood, but you might not want to let this upcoming stealth game drown in the sea of announcements.

The Evolution Championship Series was set for July 31 to August 2. Thousands of fighting game fans from all over the world would have crammed themselves into a Las Vegas arena to scream along with Cell’s intro animation from Dragon Ball FighterZ. Nine different fighting games were going to be streamed for an online audience over the course of three days in what my wife calls “the most trying weekend of our relationship” because she can’t for the life of her understand why someone would dedicate their weekend to watching strangers play video games....

There’s something rare about an unknown experience. Exo One takes players on a journey to unknown worlds by unknown means, putting its focus on traversal above all else.

Whenever I hear the words Take Me Home in the context of a song, I immediately think of the Phil Collins tune of the same name. You know, the one from No Jacket Required where he visits all those places around the world and still makes it home in time for dinner. Still, there’s obviously another song that employs those lyrics, namely John Denver’s Take Me Home, Country Roads. It’s not bad, but Phil’s is obviously better....
