Sometimes, it can be tough to recommend the weekly Arcade Archive release. For every re-run on Sunset Riders, or Garou: Mark of the Wolves, Hamster gives us a truly antiquated title such as Front Line or, in this week's case, Vs. Soccer, no...

I know some of you are still subscribed to Apple Arcade (hopefully not unintentionally!), but for me, the subscription service feels like a fever dream in 2020. Did I really play What the Golf? over a year ago? I did. I loved it, and I thin...

Tony Hawk's Pro Skater left its mark on history...I want to say...within minutes of its release in 1999. It didn't matter if you skated or not, it was a cultural touchstone, a sign that skating had arrived. While it's faltered through the y...

If there's one thing that anime has proven most adept at, it's gathering together a gaggle of doe-eyed, sexually-charged women and tossing them into a mixer with a random sport, occupation, or hobby, usually creating a successful multi-medi...

Madden has taken itself too seriously for decades as the realistic-as-it-gets facsimile of NFL football. The next game is flipping its hat around and sitting backward on its chair, all to let you know that it has a cool side too....

I'm back on my stupid-games-involving-animals bullshit, y'all. As a note to game developers, if you put alpacas, llamas, or pretty much any animal into a game with little rhyme or reason, there's at least a 60% chance I'm going to cover it....

It's been a few years since EA Sports dropped a new UFC fighter on fans, but Saturday morning, the publisher revealed EA Sports UFC 4 is on its way to PS4 and Xbox One consoles soon. Like, really soon. In fact, it's launchin...
