If the PlayStation 2’s library of games wasn’t the greatest ever assembled for a single console, it was certainly one of the most diverse. While many of the PS2’s best games have thankfully gone on to enjoy numerous sequels, remakes, and/or remasters, some of the projects that helped make the PS2’s library as diverse as

When The Force Unleashed was first announced at E3 2006, it looked poised to be the most ambitious Star Wars game ever made, and 16 years later it is an underrated classic, but it also marked the beginning of the end for Lucasfilm’s legendary game development division, LucasArts.

FromSoftware games tend to feature deep and intentionally confusing lore. Gamers and theorists are still trying to piece together the story and backstory of Dark Souls and Bloodborne, and Elden Ring continues that proud tradition by offering a narrative full of fascinating facts that are surprisingly easy to miss. Elden Ring‘s basic story is surprisingly

I don’t remember the first time I heard someone joke about Mario getting high in Super Mario Bros. by eating all the mushrooms he finds, but it certainly feels like that joke is old as Super Mario Bros. itself. If you hear that joke when you’re 12 or 22, you’ll likely treat it like some

“Did you catch that easter egg?” “No, but I read about all these in an easter egg guide.” “Have you heard? Morbius has the greatest easter egg of all-time!” These are (mostly) things you’ll hear in everyday life when folks discuss their favorite movies, TV shows, or video games. Once a jargon-y phrase used almost
