by

The coin, which recently hit rock bottom-the kind that makes you question your investments and your life choices-has apparently rebounded by more than half since the October crash that made everyone wish they’d become bakers instead.

Gaming’s most addictive duo just launched a collaboration. Balatro-themed Vampire Survivors update is out now for free

by

The games Balatro and Vampire Survivors have had a huge impact on game development recently. Both were initially created by single developers and became surprisingly popular. Balatro even received a Game of the Year nomination in 2024, competing with major titles like Final Fantasy VII Rebirth and Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree. Now, we’re seeing a lot of new games that borrow ideas from these titles – either roguelikes inspired by Balatro, or ‘survivors-like’ games. This new style of game is quickly becoming a genre of its own, and people are already referring to it with terms similar to ‘Metroidvania’ or ‘souls-like’.

I Learned How M3GAN 2.0’s Eerily Convincing AMELIA Came To Life On Set, And It Gave Me A New Appreciation For The Sequel

by

I really enjoyed the new Blumhouse film, as I mentioned in my review of M3GAN 2.0, and it seems many others did too, judging by what my colleague wrote and its 83% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes. A standout part of the movie for me was the character of Amelia, played with a wonderfully creepy performance by Ivanna Sakhno. Here’s what director Gerard Johnstone had to say:
