Box Art Brawl: Duel – Galactic Pinball

North America Image: Nintendo / Launchbox It’s colourful, it’s bright, it’s… pinball? Honestly, while there’s certainly some pinball paraphernalia on display here, it’s not quite as flipper-filled as we’d expect. A bumper and a rail can only do so much heavy lifting when the most iconic part is obscured by the VB logo. Still, it’s…

Horizon Forbidden West Composer Blasts Generative AI

A video game composer has harsh words for genAI. 2K Games is already delisting its surprisingly decent Lego racer from 2023. And Arc Raiders is moving to fewer, bigger updates each year. It’s the latest edition of Checkpoint for May 15, 2026, where I wish I was living my best life like Food4Dogs. We are…

MemoryCore combines the best PS1 games in one stylish new TTRPG

The thing that Vileborn designer Claudio Pustorino admires the most about ‘90s video games is their limitations. Genre-defining 32-bit classics like Final Fantasy 7, Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, and Metal Gear Solid made the most of the PlayStation‘s capabilities by cramming as much content as they could into CD jewel cases.
