Read excerpt
Square Enix has always had something interesting to show at Tokyo Game Show, with one example from last year being Dragon Quest I & II HD-2D Remake.

The 10 Gaming Moves That Made Players Question Everything (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Being a video game enthusiast isn’t always an easy thing. For every golden year like 2015, there are several bad ones, like 2021.
