As frustrating as it can be, Digimon World 's vibes are still unmatched by most of the franchise. There's a true sense of loneliness as your character is isekai'd into the Digital World, aimlessly wandering through this unknowable realm and discovering new friends and enemies as you explore. It also still has that PS1-era grit that has kind of washed away from more modern games, which is especially effective when you're young and these worlds still feel vast and scary.

I know it's cliche to say "this is a dream come true" but in the case of , it really is. My first hobby/love was gaming.

Nintendo says 14 Virtual Boy titles will be made available to Switch Online Expansion Pack subscribers over time. The eventual software list includes cult-classic Nintendo first-party titles like Virtual Boy Wario Land and Mario's Tennis, as well as extremely hard-to-find third-party games like Jack Bros. and Virtual Bowling, which can command hundreds or thousands of dollars for an original cartridge. The fact that Nintendo is officially acknowledging these games at all is a bit surprising after all these years of neglect.

The John Wick actor, who is set to appear in comedy film Good Fortune later this year, told IGN that he would be more than willing to return as Silverhand in Cyberpunk 2. "Absolutely. I'd love to play Johnny Silverhand again," Reeves said. The actor, of course, did not divulge if CD Projekt Red had been in touch with him over the role for the sequel.

Pick up the rope! Take the strain! Steady! Pull! When the referee barks those commands, eight adrenalin-fuelled competitors on each team muster every ounce of strength in their bodies and attempt to haul one another across the crumbling earth. Clutching a rope made of hemp or polypropylene, the first team to tug their opponents four metres from their starting position is the winner.

Change the first letter of the last name to an S. Then move the first, second, and final letters of that last name in front of the first name. The resulting string of letters reading from left to right will name a major American city. What city is it? Challenge answer: Francis Bacon --> San Francisco

I wrote that no one should buy MSI and Intel's original handheld gaming PC. I literally called it an embarrassment, and the company blacklisted me after that. MSI stopped pitching me news, and stopped answering my emails, even after the company began to write off its dud of a handheld. So you can imagine my surprise to find: MSI and Intel have gone from worst to nearly first.

SAN JOSE Michael Misa will headline a group of five first-round draft picks on the San Jose Sharks team that will take part in next week's three-team Rookie Faceoff event in Anaheim.

Nobuo Uematsu's classic score. I'm pleased to report the magic is still there on Switch 2. Digital Foundry said it Final Fantasy VII has one of the best openings of a video game ever. The remake cranks that up even further thanks to the the mash-up of modern graphics and might be the best looking port on the handheld hybrid yet.
