Kole, Ben, Dennis, and David talk about NieR Replicant, Yakuza: Like a Dragon, and we ask you what you want to see in the next generation of console games.
The Grind:
This month, we settle in for a light topic... how food is depicted in games. We talk about how it can convey the story of a location, or augment a game's mechanics. We also answer your questions and read your responses to April's games.

Michael wants his estranged friend to quit drugs, and the only way he can think to accomplish this is to chain him to a pipe for seven days and make him quit cold turkey. Chris obviously hates this. And over ...

You ever looked at an owl and thought, "Gee, I wonder what kind of kingdom and warriors that owl belongs to?" The truth is that it's a very dumb creature which we've anthropomorphized, and all it cares about is where and when it will find its next vole.

To celebrate episode 400 of Abject Suffering, we dip into some Steam crapware, based entirely on its funny name. Last of Ass has nothing to do with The Last of Us, instead being a low-effort take on Slender: The Pages meets Texas Chainsaw Massacre. You're trapped on the land of some goddamn canni...

What do you do when you've told the story of the cabin twice? You tell it a third time! Ash goes back to the cabin for basically no reason, and gets into bad Resident Evil clone hijinks that are pretty much devoid of the humor from the movies.

Hello and welcome to a new mini-series we're doing called Ducktionary.

We believe that Guilty Gear is a good series that just isn't for us. We don't really go in for hyper-stylized, chaotic fighting games like this. What everyone can agree on, we think, is that Guilty Gear Isuka is a very bad entry in that series. In an attempt to add some gimmicks to the series, th...

You know, there's nothing wrong with an above average fastfood sandwich. Sometimes, your body just craves a pretty good game that does everything decently, while not doing anything exceptionally well, and is over in 5 or 6 hours. That game is Ratchet and Clank, which is a total snack game with so...

The odds are always stacked against a sophomore effort. The original Myst was a gigantic success and had a huge cultural impact, finding fans in unlikely places due to its advanced graphics and leisurely pace. Cyan knocked it out of the park when it came to Riven, though, improving on every aspec...
