The fine folks at Nicalis are bringing the definitive edition of indie darling Cave Story to the Nintendo Switch on June 20th in both physical and digital formats.

The Binding of Isaac: Afterbirth+ Has Some Neat Extras and Nods to Zelda

Twin-stick roguelike The Binding of Isaac: Afterbirth+ is one of the few physically released Nintendo Switch titles currently available at retail, and it's the one I recommend picking up alongside The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.  Not only is the game incredibly dark and an absolute blast to play, but the physical release …

Playstation VR Priced at $399.99, Will Release in October. Let’s Talk Pros and Cons.

When Oculus Rift was priced at $599.99, followed by HTC Vive's $799.99 announcement, we knew one thing was certain: virtual reality is going to be expensive.
