It’s an old story but it got popular when the movie came out in 2005

Narnia’s back. Harry potter’s back. The Golden Compass is back. The people yearn for rebooted millennial fantasy series, apparently.

Retroachievements isn’t really the right service for this, it was mostly made for consoles that don’t have achievements having them added with user-made sets. It doesn’t really make sense for them to also be hosting consoles that already come with achievement support.

Very nice that this game is coming back in some capacity but I was really hoping for some kind of remake or real remaster. From what I can tell this is the same game packaged and running on an emulator.

Apotris is a super polished and customizable Tetris clone made for the GBA, though it also has native ports to desktops.

I’m surprised it didn’t happen earlier. Fighting games are such a crowded market these days. Just these last few months you have 2XKO, Invincible VS, Avatar Legends all flopping hard.

The problem isn’t really with the quality of the games, they’re decent additions to Xbox’s offerings.

The problem is the rate at which they make new games, which is a bit of a disaster. They released THREE GAMES since the studio was founded in 2009 (17 years!!!)

• Contrast (2013)
• We Happy Few (2018)
• South of Midnight (2025)

I wish them the best of luck but out of all the studios Xbox threw away/wanted to shut down, this one was the least surprising, and I said the same thing when they announced the studios they were getting rid of.

There is blood and cursing but it’s nothing too extreme to make it R-rated.

Works just fine according to protondb

We’re unlocking all champs. We’re also bundling most cosmetic items, and refunding all money spent in 2XKO on or before August 20.

All things considered, that’s a nice gesture. As unlikely as it is I hope they also add offline & LAN play for when the servers inevitably shut down.

But man, it’s VERY hard to care about anything Riot makes at this point when they make it clear they’ll pull funding and kill a game if it doesn’t meet LoL or Valorant expectations. I was a big fan of their card game but they also stopped development on it which is very disappointing.

Great movie but I’m confused why it was ever rated R in the first place. There were some disturbing scenes but there wasn’t any nudity or that much swearing, or even blood. It’s the most PG-13 R-rated movie I ever watched.

Release must me imminent if the page is being set up. Now, the price…

I love the Go but unless portability is a huge factor for you, I’d keep the 1001 instead. I mainly used the PSP Go because it fit in my pocket.

But I wonder what you mean by “keep for emulation”, because PSP isn’t a very good system to emulate things on. I remember even SNES games having bad slowdowns when emulating on a PSP, you might as well just buy a retro handheld than repair what you have.

Surprised it took this long, honestly.

I don’t know why but this is giving me serious xbox 360 game cover vibes

Ok

Doesn’t it work flawlessly via proton?

Copying my comment from another thread:

Just saw it, I thought it was mediocre and really lacking, it was more like half a movie with lots of unresolved plot lines compared to the last 3 spiderman movies.

Instead my pick is Ori and the Will of the Wisps.

This is definitely the most unpopular opinion in this thread. Story-wise they’re very similar, yeah. Gameplay-wise, I played them back to back and they are extremely different. The second one has a much bigger focus on combat and combat upgrades, and a lot of new fun platforming mechanics like burrowing in the desert. I think it’s what a sequel should be, improving on the issues of the first while not deviating too much from what made it great.
