Pokemon Unite is way better than it has any right being

July 25, 2021VG247

Pokemon Unite is a barnstormer right out of the gate. Watch on YouTubeThe world of Pokemon has been applied to many genres of video game, but I think it’s pretty fair to say that only a handful of them have been runaway successes. There’s the original turn-based RPGs, of course. There’s the photography simulation of Snap, and the augmented reality adventures of Pokemon Go. These aren’t just successes, but in most cases are also milestone titles – but for every game like this, there’s something that’s just sorta fine – puzzlers, fighting, and a slew of mobile money-spinners. To be…

In The Legend of Zelda Skyward Sword, most of these key items are found in Beedle’s Airshop. Here’s a few of the key items you’ll be able to get from Beedle,…

Skyward Sword HD is giving me a newfound appreciation for what was previously one of my least-favorite Zelda titles

July 14, 2021VG247

Skyward Sword is actually a little better than I remember it – but it’s no all-timer. Watch on YouTubeLet’s rip the band-aid off. I’ve been on the record saying it a lot, even on the recent editions of the VG247 podcast-that’s-not-a-podcast: I don’t think The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword is a truly great game. In the past, I’ve said that in much stronger and less friendly terms, too – but the new HD Remaster on Switch has me reconsidering my stance somewhat.I’m not going to do a complete u-turn, though. I’ve said in the past that I think people…
