Jim Norman, staff writer I really, really want to finish Astro Bot this weekend! I’m so close to that 100% mark that I can almost taste it (gross) and have to move it out of the way to make room for the big plate of Switch goodness currently staring at me from the home screen. ...
Image: PlayStack A new summer offering of Balatro merchandise has been revealed (which, bizarrely, comes a little less than a month after fall, but never mind) and includes a rather likable Abstract Joker shirt based on a design by developer LocalThunk. Every shirt is now available for £24.99 (plus shipping), with the complete collection consisting ...
Image: Nintendo Life There was a time earlier this year when we had two states: playing Balatro or thinking about playing Balatro. Our daily gaming hours may have started to drop in the months since, but there’s no denying that it’s been permanently cemented in our minds. And guess what, now it can do the ...
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. ...
The surprise hit has more on the way by Liam Doolan 26m ago One of the most popular releases of the year so far is the roguelike card game Balatro. Although it had some issues on Switch with it being temporarily removed from the eShop, it has since been brought back and has sold over ...
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 ...

Publisher Playstack released a statement via Twitter saying the publisher was “particularly disappointed with the actions of the ratings board” after being ...
Jim Norman, staff writer I wish I could say I’ll be playing something other than Balatra, really. Unfortunately, that would be a lie. Who would have thought that after a week of playing Pocket Card Jockey, what would distract me would be… more cards? Who cares! The numbers are beautiful and I can’t get enough ...
