Control looks like a perfect $20 Black Friday pickup.

Astral Chain is a super Japanese anime-esque action game made by Platinum Games exclusive to the Switch.

Is it Nintendo’s version of Bayonetta?

I don't think so? Just somewhat similar gameplay mechanics. After all, isn't Bayonetta pretty much a Nintendo franchise now?

Since Bayo 2 was exclusive to the WiiU and 3 is exclusive to the Switch...isn't Bayonetta Nintendo's version of Bayonetta?

Playing while holding an infant is 100% possible. Put a bunch of pillows under your arm. Viola. Game all night long.

The game's always been about punishing the player. I tried playing some of the GC game the other day and I just don't have the reflexes that I used to.

2k20's gameplay continues to be king. The new dribbling mechanics are going to be fun to figure out.

The VC/microtransactions bullshit is still there, but no worse than the previous few years. There are actually more opportunities to earn in game cash for repeat players.

Replaying The Last of Us Remastered currently! The story/voice acting has held up extremely well, better than most big film releases these days. Really can't wait until Part II, sounds like we'll be hearing more from a Sony event scheduled for early next week

It's my favorite game of the past decade. Still holds up so well, especially on the higher difficulty levels.
