I've used and reviewed dozens of e-readers over the years, but the 5-inch Kobo Mini remains my favorite for one simple reason: It was small.

Before Nicolas Fromageau left the band and Anthony […] Read more

As Highguard stumbles out the gate after weeks of criticism, are we being too hard on live service games?

Highguard's launch this week would've probably passed by largely unremarked if it wasn't for its appearance at last year's The Game Awards. Unusually for a game with no prior hype or obvious pedigree, it featured as the show's big "and finally" reveal, immediately subjecting it to intense, and slightly bewildered, scrutiny.
