Jim Norman, staff writer After last week’s sale, I think I’m going to be big and bold and try to play some of the games I actually own this weekend. I really want to get some more time with Pokémon X on the 3DS after it’s taken a bit of a back seat recently, and ...
Ollie Reynolds, staff writer I’m still playing my wonderful Metroidvanias, and I actually picked up Blasphemous 2 last weekend, so I’m working on that right now. By the way, I have a few things to do this weekend (building a new bed for starters), so I’m not really sure how much gaming I’ll get done. ...

Birdie! The weekend is here, which means it’s time to dive into what we have planned for our Switches (and other consoles, we assume). Before that, though, let’s take a look at what’s happening this week. First, the Switch has received its latest firmware update, and while it’s not the most exciting thing in the ...
