Pong is over 50. For that matter, Tennis for Two is coming up on 70.
Sorry, but Acclaim really was that wild for a bit there. They also had a promotion where you’d get a free copy of one of the Turok games if you named a newborn child after him. For what it’s worth, I don’t think anyone took them up on either offer, but it certainly brought in the publicity.
Pac-Man on the Atari 2600. I understand the complaints about that port, but I’ll always have a soft spot for it for getting me into the hobby way back when.
I’m confused why Kotaku mentioning next gen in the title when Rockstar only commented on current generation PS5 and Xbox Series X/S.
Because they’re still referring to PS5 and XSX as “next gen”, which is ridiculous this far into a generation. I’m glad even their own commenters are calling that out.
I more meant the narrow intersection of 2 larger genres that rarely cross over, particularly these days.
Though having said that, I do feel like the only person still talking about them anymore. It’s so rare to see them brought up in casual conversations outside their dedicated Steam forums.
Shadow Gambit: The Cursed Crew. From the little-known “stealth tactics” micro-genre. It really felt like the culmination of what the studio learned from their previous few games. It took some familiar abilities from all the way back to the original Desperados 20 years ago, then added several brand new ones that almost feel OP and make each character unique. Plus if you have a checklist-oriented brain, there are so many optional objectives encouraging you to replay missions in different ways.
I understand some fans weren’t huge on the reuse of levels, but the missions either use different parts of them or have you approach familiar guard setups from completely different directions, keeping them feeling fresh (at least to me).
It’s a real shame developer Mimimi is closing down, though I’m glad they get to wind down gradually and on their own terms. I’m so used to companies trying a new project, running out of money, and closing suddenly.

A piece of internet history. So glad it’s been preserved.
Most of the Star Trek shows. Bring back Prodigy, Paramount.
Bethesda put out a long video around Summer Game Fest that spent 45 minutes showing most of the gameplay systems in the game. It was honestly a bit overwhelming.
Reviewers are quiet because the NDA is still active. It should end sometime today (Aug 31).
Before Gmail, my old Hotmail account had a whopping 2MB of storage, and others were similarly small. Gmail was a few GB right from the start, forcing the rest to compete and offer more storage.
I imagine it’d sound like this.
I’m so happy I’m not the only one to think of that scene. “Are you troubled by irregularity…?”
Are they really describing Valhalla as a 100-hour game? I spent that long on Origins, and Valhalla has way more to it.
But overall a shorter AC game sounds great. I miss the days when even going for 100% took 45 hours instead of triple digits.
Check the section labeled “Appointment to CEO and resignation” on Eich’s Wikipedia entry. He also expressed some COVID doubting nonsense during the pandemic. To my knowledge Brave doesn’t have an official stance on any of this, but it’s not a good look when the CEO does (or at least, did in the recent past).
‽
Is the image you’re trying to copy/paste a webp instead of a jpeg or png? I just tested, and it quietly fails to paste a webp for me, but jpeg and png work just fine.
After Sony getting all the concessions they could, the CoD deal’s finally done. No clear news yet on whether it’s the 10 year deal MS has been offering around to everyone else.
Cool. Reminds me of kkrieger from…20 years ago? Where’d that time go.
