Despite the game already being around for a while in some circles, Puyo Puyo Tetris still turned quite a few heads when it officially released in the West in 2017. Tetris has been in the mainstream social consciousness for almost forty years now, so both puzzle fans and non-puzzle fans were pretty certain that there was nothing more that could be done with it. The same could probably be said of Puyo Puyo too....

Rune II: Decapitation Edition Brings the 2019 Title Closer to Valhalla

Rune II is one of the more interesting tales regarding video game sequels. Originally released in 2000, Rune was given generally favorable but not exceptional reviews on PC with the following PlayStation 2 port generally getting panned. There was talk of a sequel since 2001, but no such sequel ever actually emerged until November of 2019 which was met with shall we say less-than-favorable reviews. This led to its own little set of disasters, as the released product was quickly abandoned and accused of being sabotaged by the original dev team....

Skyward Blade – How to get, Ascension, stats, and who can use it in Genshin Impact

The Skyward Blade is a five-star sword that’s suitable for sub-DPS units who rely on their Elemental Burst to dish out damage. While it’s an underwhelming weapon compared to Genshin Impact’s array of better sword options (including four-star picks), it still offers a decent stat boost. I find it useful to throw the Skyward Blade into an alternative Abyss team member that requires Energy Recharge. How to get Skyward Blade in Genshin Impact Skyward Blade is a standard banner weapon, which means that you can pull for it from the permanent Wanderlust Invocation banner, as well as all limited weapon banners....
