Vampire Crawlers is unusual; it’s simultaneously just like Vampire Survivors and completely different from it. It’s similar because it’s effortlessly compelling to play, time evaporates while you do, and it shares many items, characters, and presentational cues. It’s different because, well, it’s a whole other genre. The magic is in marrying the two together, resulting in a spinoff that applies much of the original’s excitement and satisfaction to a wholly unique take on the dungeon-crawling deckbuilder. The character you choose is your Crawler, deciding the cards with which you begin your adventure. You move about grid-based maps, one square at…

Microsoft announced some reductions to PC and Xbox Game Pass subscription fees overnight, following hints last week that changes were afoot. The prices—which have already taken effect in Australia—are still higher than they were before the last increases in October, but those increases were massive.There’s one significant caveat on these reductions. From now on, new Call of Duty games will not launch on any of the tiers. Instead, you can expect them to come, via Microsoft, “during the following holiday season (about a year later)”.In other words, if you’ve been using Game Pass to play the latest COD game, it’s…

Did you know that in the first Minions spin-off film released back in 2015, the movie explained why the loud and obnoxious characters who love to help evil people didn’t lend a hand to any leaders during World War I or World War 2? It’s true. But the latest entry in the franchise, Minions & Monsters, is apparently retconning all of this, and now I have questions. This isn’t breaking news. Instead, it’s sort of been known for a bit now and was fully confirmed by Universal and Illumination during last week’s CinemaCon. But I missed that, so when I…
