To outsiders, Only Connect can be a punchline. They see it as the impossible quiz show – tough, smug and incomprehensible to anybody whose photo wasn’t in the local paper for passing A-level maths aged nine.

On the surface, the Saints Row franchise might come across as a Grand Theft Auto clone, but the series typically sets itself apart with an irreverent sense of humor that has historically shined brightest in the series’ minigames.

If there’s one thing that 60 years of Doctor Who has taught us, it’s that the show likes to keep us guessing, and its unique brand of fans really, really like to guess what might happen in the show’s future. Or the past. Or in a parallel universe. You know, timey wimey… stuff. We’ve still
Super Mario Kart didn’t invent racing games, but the changes it made to the usual genre formula (like adding Nintendo’s most popular characters, weapons that could be used to slow down opponents, and the multiplayer battle mode) made it feel like a revolution.

While the reveal of AEW: Fight Forever‘s gameplay wasn’t the biggest thing to come from Gamecom 2022 (that was obviously the Killer Klowns from Outer Space reveal), wrestling fans are buzzing about what they’ve seen.

When we see these objects pop up throughout the story at important times, or they recur constantly, it’s safe to
The Saints Row games have primarily been single-player experiences. After all, the franchise started during the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 era, when developers hadn’t quite gotten the hang of drop-in/drop-out co-op much less open-world online multiplayer. Now that the Saints Row reboot is giving the series a fresh start, players can join their comrades
