Many games have come and gone, likeBattleborn andLawBreakers, while some likeValorantandApex Legends still have their fans among gamers, streamers and eSports competitors.

Credit Card Drama Continues at Niconico
With the recent spate of Japanese websites that happen to sell hentai and eroge bowing down to credit card companies and either censoring what users can and can't buy, sell or display on their sites, or removing their ability to purchase anything with a credit card outright, I've been wondering whether it would have a knock-on effect for other lewd sites. First it was DLsite and now Getchu, but the latest one to be hit with restrictions isn't even ...

Metaphor: ReFantazio Sadly Won't Have Romance Options
It may have had some time to sink in at this point, butMetaphor: ReFantazio, the new JRPG from Catherine: Full Bodydevelopers Studio Zero, still has one of the most nonsensical names I've ever heard for a game. Even though there are plenty of cases where Japanese companies name a game or anime etc. after some bizarre combination of English words, this one truly takes the cake. It sounds like a forgotten 70s prog rock concept album, and not one of ...
Tomb Raider Remaster Quietly Deletes Lewd Posters, But...
With all the talk aboutStellar Blade's Eve being the newest, hottest waifu in gaming, it's easy to forget about one of the OG gaming waifus, Lara Croft. Both Lara and theTomb Raider franchise have changed a lot in the last 18 years, but the recentTomb Raider I–III Remasteredfrom Aspyr brought back the original trilogy, back when the series didn't hesitate to place Lara's big pyramid tiddy sex appeal front and center, along with some quality of life ...
