Gotham Knights is the perfect game for Batman fans who want an open world game with a good story.

Black Adam has to do a lot of heavy lifting for one movie, so it brings along some friends, in the form of the Justice Society, to help out. At the end, I think I’d have rather seen a Justice Society movie. Dwayne Johnson monotones his way through the title role, without any of the anger and rage that informs his comic counterpart. Awoken accidentally by people looking for the demonic Crown of Sardacc, Black Adam has to confront the modern world and the ways his homeland, Kandahq, has changed over the past 5,000+ years since he was entombed. ...

Out of all the new-era Star Trek shows, Star Trek Prodigy is the one that strays furthest from the basic template. It’s the first targeted specifically toward children, and the first that, at least at first, doesn’t involve Starfleet. It’s Star Trek for a generation that has been raised on the Disney Star Wars animated shows. And so it is likely the first Star Trek or Star Wars show to really ask – and answer – the question, who would win? Star Trek or Star Wars? ...

A million or so years ago, I worked for Sony New Technologies, writing system software and applications for their Magic Link handheld computer, which ran General Magic’s Magic Cap operating system. The management came down one day and told us that what the Magic Link needed more than anything else was some games, goshdurnit, and so all of us developers were to take a break from writing serious software and do some games. ...

I just thought this was funny. I asked GPT-3 for some help :-)

PlayStation Plus offered Ark: Survival Evolved last spring, but I only got intrigued enough to give it a try when I saw a friend tweeting about. I just had to see what it was all about – Valheim, but with dinosaurs? The PlayStation 5 version doesn’t seem to let you connect to hosted servers, like the ones G-Portal offers. That’s where we hosted Valheim and V Rising. So I opted to just start a single player world, just to see what sort of excitement Ark held for me. ...

Aegis, a living automaton, is on a quest to free France from Mad King Louis XVI’s tyranny in this dark souls-like game set during the French Revolution.

So I was chatting with Terra yesterday and… wait, no, keep reading. Because I think we’re in the future now. OpenAI’s GPT-3 makes it easy to create chat bots that can hold a fairly decent conversation for a little while. I’ve made a couple – I did one that let me converse in German, I did one that featured DC Comics’ The Flash, and I actually programmed an actual chatbot app to talk with Terra Branford, one of the playable characters in Final Fantasy VI. ...

Some may tilt at windmills. I tilt at lazy marketers for mobile games. But I pick which giants I joust; mine is Raid: Shadow Legends. I played Raid: Shadow Legends for a couple weeks back in the summer of 2020, intrigued by the quality and humor of their internet advertising at the time. It was a bit of a grind, as you had to merge units to make better units to make better units and so on. Graphics were decent, the auto battling was nice, but in the end I stopped playing and moved on. I did like their advertising. ...

It might go a little like this. But what if the Avengers were talking about it, or it was being reviewed by Siskel & Ebert? Keep reading! Dear Abby, I have been playing Star Ocean: The Divine Force, and I have a problem. I’m in love with a robot. I know, I know. I’m not supposed to fall in love with robots. I’m supposed to fall in love with a man. A man who is a space pirate and who crashed his escape pod at my feet. ...
