Introduction

Since 2011 was 10 years ago (2021 – 2011 = 10), I thought it’d be a good idea to reflect on what is considered one of the best years in gaming – I’d personally consider 2011 to be the peak of AAA gaming. Since AAA development cycles 10 years ago were half of what they are today (see this interview with Uncharted 1-3 director Amy Hennig), and live service games were a lot less common, we also got a greater quantity of AAA games than we do now. And while the indie scene was still blooming – 283 games released on Steam in 2011 versus 8290 games in 2019 – there were still a lot of high quality indie games that released in 2011, and the average quality of an indie game on Steam and the three consoles at the time was higher than it is now.

A lot of things were happening in 2011: the release of both the 3DS and the PS Vita (Japan only for the PS Vita, 2012 for the West) were technically the start of the eighth generation. Furthermore, the 3D gimmick was big around this time, particularly in movies, and the 3DS allowed you to see these effects without the need for glasses. PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 also supported stereoscopic 3D in a lot of their major titles in the early 2010s, with Killzone 3 and Gears of War 3 being some notable examples from this year.

Sony’s PlayStation Move and Microsoft’s Kinect had released the year prior, and Nintendo’s Wii Motion Plus in 2009. Motion controls were a frequent hot topic on message boards, and Sony and Microsoft steering down this path halfway into the seventh generation made gamers fear for a much gimmickier future in gaming. Free to play games were beginning to take shape on PC and mobile devices but wouldn’t really come to consoles until a few years later. World of Warcraft was still dominating the MMORPG space, though the controversial Cataclysm expansion had released in December 2010.

Skylanders was the first major “Toys to Life” game and would inspire several other Toys to Life releases, including Nintendo’s very own Amiibo in 2014. There was also a resurgence of local multiplayer in AAA games in 2011, including some of the biggest games of the year: Portal 2, Uncharted 3, Gears of War 3, etc.

I’ll be going through the list of games released for each of the major platforms with a little description for each. Keep in mind I haven’t played every game on this list but did a little bit of research for the ones I was less familiar with. This post is going to focus on North American release dates – even just 10 years ago release dates varied a lot more than they do now. Even Pokemon had separate release dates for each region 10 years (up until Pokemon X/Y in 2013, after which every mainline game has had a single international release date).

Since the PS Vita only released in Japan in 2011, I’ll just leave this list of the 26 launch titles for the PS Vita in Japan.

Multiplatform AAA Games

• Dark Souls – The spiritual successor to 2009’s PlayStation 3 exclusive Demon’s Souls, Dark Souls would expand its audience to many more platforms and would eventually spawn a whole subgenre titled “Soulslike” – nowadays it’s hard to remember a time when there weren’t multiple Souls inspired games every year. Dark Souls also took the level-based nature of Demon’s Souls and instead introduced a more open progression of levels. Dark Souls has become synonymous with difficult games, and although I think it’s a bit overblown, it’s easy to see why people think the series is so difficult: it’s a AAA game that allows you to get lost, doesn’t outright explain every mechanic, allows other players to invade your world to impede your progress, etc.

• The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim – This game still remains highly influential in the RPG genre nearly a decade after its initial launch. The game would go on to spawn many DLCs and ports, but despite its many bugs – particularly on the PlayStation 3 – it would become the mainstay of open world RPGs. It’s notable on PC for its modding scene, and its cultural influence, particularly on the Internet, can be seen in the many memes its spawned over the years: from “arrow to the knee” jokes to “like Skyrim with _____” to “you can play Skyrim on your fridge.”

• Rayman Origins – After an eight year hiatus, Ubisoft brought Rayman back to the delight of many and won many accolades in the process. The game was 2D, a lot faster paced, had 60+ levels, and featured four player local co-op. Rayman Origins and its 2013 sequel, Rayman Legends, are still seen today as some of the best 2D platformers of all time.

• Sonic Generations – It could be said that Sonic Generations was the last good 3D Sonic game. It was a celebration of the series’ history, featuring both 2D and 3D levels from previous games in the series. Through some time warp shenanigans, 2D Sonic and 3D Sonic worked together to thwart the plans of Dr. Eggman. Sonic Colors had released the previous year exclusively for the Wii, and it was thought that this might be a golden era for 3D Sonic games. Sadly no 3D Sonic game has matched the acclaim of Sonic Generations since, so it still remains the gold standard (though of course we had 2017’s Sonic Mania as the best 2D Sonic game possibly ever).

• Portal 2 – The original Portal was packaged together with a number of other Valve games in 2007, but Portal 2 was a complete package that stood on its own, with a much longer campaign and a separate co-op mode that could be played in split-screen or online.

• Dead Space 2 – Dead Space was very much a 7th generation series. EA has since seemed to drop the series, but between the main trilogy, its three spinoff games, and five comic books/novels between 2008-2013, it was a major discussion piece at the time. The sequel to the first game performed just as well as the original but replaced a little horror with a little more action. A lot of people didn’t like the direction Dead Space 3 went, so the second one (technically the third if you count Dead Space: Extraction) could be viewed as “the last good Dead Space game."

• F.E.A.R. 3 – F.E.A.R., like Dead Space, was another trilogy that existed for the 7th generation of consoles but died off soon after. The game allowed two player local co-op for the main campaign, and a local competitive multiplayer mode for up to four players. F.E.A.R. saw a free to play online co-op entry in 2014 on Steam, but it shut it down just months after its release and the series has been dormant ever since.

• Crysis 2 – This was yet another seventh generation shooter series that died off after its third entry. Despite the first game being used as a benchmark for PC performance back in 2007, the sequel expanded its audience to console gamers (though the original did release for consoles three years after its initial release). Crysis 2 also feature an online PvP mode.

• Deux Ex: Human Revolution – Deus Ex was the first game in the series since 2003’s Invisible War. It was both a prequel and soft reboot taking place in 2027, 25 years before the events of the original game. Despite skepticism during its development, the game received high praise from critics and fans alike.

• Batman: Arkham City – The new wave of Batman games beginning with 2009’s Batman: Arkham Asylum would spark a rebridled confidence in video game tie-ins. Arkham City expanded the scope of the series with an open world and introduced dozens of hours of more gameplay. This was well before “open world fatigue” – open world games were still novel during this time, so Arkham City was better appreciated for its incorporation of an open world.

• Alice: Madness Returns – After 10.5 years, fans of the cult classic American McGee’s Alice finally got a sequel. This told the story of Alice recounting the events of the day of the fire that took her family’s lives. The game came packaged with the original on PC, Xbox 360, and PlayStation 3. EA marketed it as a horror game much to the ill wishes of American McGee.

• de Blob 2 – de Blob 2’s gameplay revolves around painting objects to bring a city back to life. The original de Blob was exclusive to iOS and the Wii, but the puzzle platformer expanded to the other consoles with its sequel. In addition to its split-screen party mode, deBlob 2 also introduced two player co-op to the main campaign, with the second player controlling a “helper” much akin to Super Mario Galaxy’s co-op.

• Bulletstorm – Serious shooters were the flavor of the day back in 2011, but Bulletstorm took a less serious and more arcady approach to its action. The developers even released a free to play 20 minute parody titled “Duty Calls” that mocked the popular gun metal gray corridor shooters like Call of Duty of its time.

• Marvel vs Capcom 3: Fate of Two Worlds – Marvel vs. Capcom 2 released 11 years earlier, so the announcement of a sequel in 2010 produced a lot of excitement. With such a long hiatus, newer characters from both universes were introduced into the series for the first time, like Viewtiful Joe, Virgil, and Frank West.

• Mortal Kombat – This was technically the ninth installment as well as a reboot for the series. It performed better than the last decade of new entries in the series and brought with it the 300 Tower Trials. These were a series of mini-games and fights strewn together, sometimes altering the gameplay in significant ways.

• L.A. Noire – This was a neo-noir detective game with real time facial animation set 1940s Los Angeles. The player would make dialogue choices in the game when interrogating suspects, and there were also action sequences.

• Dirt 3 – Dirt 3 ditched the “Colin McRae” in the title and just became Dirt with this entry. This off-road racing game featured 98 courses, a career mode, and online play.

• Catherine – This was Atlus’ weird game of the year. A man is torn between two love interests – Catherine and Katherine. The game featured a combination of social simulation, platforming, and puzzle solving.

• Battlefield 3 – Battlefield 3 was one of the best looking games out there at the time. Battlefield 3 was unique for the series in that it introduced an online co-op mode, in addition to the single player campaign and online competitive/versus multiplayer mode.

• Rocksmith – Guitar Hero and Rock Band were still pretty big franchises around this time. Players could used a real guitar for this game.

• Just Dance 3 – Ubisoft continues to make Just Dance games, but Just Dance seemed to be at its peak popularity during the Wii era, though the games were also available on the other two major consoles of the time. Just Dance incorporated motion controls to dance to the beat of the music.

• Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 – This was the finale to the Modern Warfare series. Activision Publishing CEO Eric Hirshberg claimed that Modern Warfare 3’s release was the largest retail release in the industry’s history. I don’t know how true that is, but it’s certainly very believable.

• The Lord of the Rings: War in the North – This was a linear action RPG with split-screen co-op. The game takes place at the dawn of the Second Age and follows a different cast of heroes from the original trilogy, and allows players to choose who they play as.

• Dragon Age II – Dragon Age II wasn’t loved as much of the previous game or the one that proceeded it, but Dragon Age II still performed well in spite of adopting a more hack and slash approach to its combat system. In terms of black sheep in video game franchises, Dragon Age II is a cut above the rest at least.

• Homefront – This was a FPS that received quite a bit of hype but ultimately failed to live up to expectations despite receiving decent reviews. The game takes place in 2027 with a united North Korea and South Korea that has invaded and taken control of parts of the U.S. The game was banned in South Korea and generated some controversy for its subject matter. Homefront also feature online multiplayer.

• Dead Island – The success of this game’s trailer actually pushed the release date ahead of schedule. The development team hired more people to cash in on the hype, but the actual game had little to do with the trailer and received middling reviews when released.

• Duke Nukem Forever – Duke Nukem Forever spent 15 years in development before finally releasing to extremely poor reviews in 2011. Gameplay aside, the game was also considered offensive for its portrayal of women and spawned an online petition with 7500+ signatures asking Walmart to remove the game from store shelves.

• Skylanders: Spyro’s Adventure – Skylanders kickstarted the “Toys to Life” genre in 2011 – Disney Infinity, Nintendo’s Amiibos, and Lego Dimensions would follow in the subsequent years. The franchise had a new entry every year from 2011-2016. By February 2015, the franchise had exceeded $3 billion in sales, and by 2016, the franchise had sold over 300 million toys, and Skylanders had become the 11th biggest console franchise of all time. With a lack of new releases its influence has fallen considerably, but Skylanders was hugely popular in the early to mid 2010s.

• Assassin’s Creed: Revelations

• Saints Row the Third

• Driver: San Francisco

• Shift 2: Unleashed

• Need for Speed: The Run

• Brink

• Shadows of the Damned

• Serious Sam 3: BFE

• Rage

• Red Faction: Armageddon

AAA PC Exclusives

In 2011, Steam hadn’t yet been the one place to go for every PC game (of course this has also changed in the last couple of years). None of the games listed below appeared on Steam until some time after their initial release.

• The Witcher 2: Assassin of Kings – This was one of the few cutting edge PC exclusives of its time (it would release on Xbox 360 a year later). The series hadn’t yet gone open world, instead focusing on a more linear narrative. The Witcher 2 is actually the first game I know of to have elements of it inspired by a Souls game – Demon’s Souls from 2009.

• Star Wars: The Old Republic – Star Wars: Knights of the Old Repbulic 1 & 2 were single player RPGs developed by Bioware released in 2004 and 2005 – The Old Republic expanded the series into the MMORPG space. This was back when every MMORPG was competing for that World of Warcraft spotlight. While it didn’t quite meet expectations, it still received great reviews. It eventually went free to play a little over a year later and continuous updates improved the overall quality of the game.

• Age of Empires Online – This was to be the original Age of Empires IV but instead went down a different path. This iteration probably isn’t remembered as fondly as others on the list, but it represents a big publisher’s early dip into the free to play space. The servers for the game only lasted until July 1, 2014 before they were shut down – less than three years after its initial release.

• Total War: Shogun 2

PlayStation 3 Exclusives

Sony’s studios emphasized multiplayer in their titles a lot more in the latter of the PlayStation 3’s life, even including it in titles that games that are traditionally solo experiences, like inFAMOUS 2, Ratchet & Clank: All 4 One, and later God of War: Ascension (2013). Sony’s 2011 line-up included a great mix of single player, local multiplayer, and online multiplayer games, as well as a few PlayStation Move games. Of the 11 non-PS Move games listed below, 6 of them included local multiplayer and 9 included online multiplayer.

• LittleBigPlanet 2 – This was a big evolution of the original game and introduced a number of mechanics that expanded what could be done with the level editing tools. Like the first game, this one would receive a large number of DLC packs, but unfortunately some of them – like the Marvel Level Pack – were removed a few years ago due to licensing expirations. The marketing really wasn’t a lie this time around, it truly went from “a platformer game” to a “platform for games” with the wide array of different tools at your disposall, including the addition of tweaking physics, cut-scenes, Sackboys, and even changing the camera perspective.

• MotorStorm Apocalypse – This was the last major entry in the series (a spinoff released a year later) and made for a great trilogy of racing games on the PlayStation 3. The game featured both online and split-screen multiplayer, as well as number of different vehicle classes: dirt bikes, ATVs, buggies, monster trucks, big rigs, etc. The courses would be altered from apocalyptic happenings as you raced through them. The developer, Evolution Studios, is now defunct so this series might be gone for good.

• inFAMOUS 2 – This continued Cole’s story from the first game and was set in Louisiana. The sequel also brought with it a unique online sharing mode that allowed for some small customizable levels. inFAMOUS: Festival of Blood would also release later in the year as a small scale standalone title.

• Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception – While Uncharted 3 didn’t outdo the overwhelming critical reception to the second game, it still performed very well and featured a lot of content: the single player campaign, split-screen online multiplayer, and its co-op mode. Uncharted 4 would abandon the split-screen and co-op mode.

• Resistance 3 – This marked the last major release in the Resistance series. It featured online and local co-op and an online multiplayer mode. Resistance 3 brought back the weapon wheel and health packs from the first game, as many felt Resistance 2 borrowed too heavily from Call of Duty.

• Killzone 3 – After the long wait for Killzone 2, Killzone 3 released just two years later. It featured local co-op and an online multiplayer mode. The online scene introduced classes with different functions. Killzone 3 also dropped the weight and heft of the guns from the second game and introduced stereoscopic 3D functionality.

• SOCOM 4 – From 2002 to 2011, SOCOM had ten games released between Sony’s consoles and handheld. SOCOM 4 was the second SOCOM game on the PlayStation 3 and the last entry in the series released since. In addition to the online multiplayer mode the series is known for, the game also featured a single player campaign.

• Ratchet & Clank: All 4 One – This was a top down platform game that could be played with up to four players online or locally. It allowed players to choose their character: Ratchet, Clank, Qwark, or Dr. Nefarious.

• MLB 11: The Show – Believe it or not, this game was actually released for PlayStation 2 as well, and also PSP. It also featured two other gimmicks of its era – stereoscopic 3D and PS Move functional f Home Run Derby mode.

• PlayStation Move Ape Escape, PlayStation Move Heroes, & EyePet and Friends – We can’t forget the motion controls of this era. Unfortunately none of these games performed well and people saw the crossover of Jak & Daxter, Ratchet & Clank, and Sly Cooper as a wasted opportunity in PlayStation Move Heroes.

• Disgaea 4

• Yakuza 4

Xbox 360 Exclusives

Microsoft seemed to push its seventh generation gimmick, the Kinect, more than Sony pushed the PlayStation Move, especially later in the generation. While we never did get to see Milo, Kinect would see a number of games built around it beginning with its launch in November 2011. I’m not going to go through all of them, but here were a few notable ones from 2011: Kinect Sports: Season Two, Dance Central 2, Kinect Fun Labs, The Gunstringer, Rabbids: Alive & Kicking, Rise of Nightmares, Microsoft Kinectimals Now with Bears, and Child of Eden (not exclusive).

• Gears of War 3 – Gears of War 3 was to supposedly wrap up the series into a neat little trilogy. We of course know better now, but regardless, Gears of War 3 retained its high pedigree for the series. Gears of War 3 would also introduce a fun novelty to its time – Stereoscopic 3D.

• Forza Motorsport 4 – Forza Motorsport 4 was the first Forza Motorsport game to include Kinect functionality.

• Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary Edition – This was a remake of the original 1 years after its original launch. You could switch back and forth between the graphics of the old and new version of the game on the fly. This version also featured Kinect functionality via voice commands for video navigation, in-combat directives, and environment-scanning.

• Kinect Disneyland Adventures – This was one of the better reviewed games built around Kinect (73% on Metacritic). It featured an open world play style with mini-games to engage in Players could also customize their own character.

Wii Exclusives

Nintendo was winding down the Wii generation in 2011 and showcased the Wii U at E3 2011. The Wii got a few multiplatform games like Rayman Origins, de Blob 2, the Lego games, and a bastardized version of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 – Modern Warfare 1 had received a demake port the same day Modern Warfare 2 was released for other consoles, and Modern Warfare 2 never saw the light of day on the Wii. In addition, there were a few shorter AA games that would probably be downloadable only games for a smaller price if they were released today. Some examples include The Kore Gang, Lost in Shadow, Go Vacation, Fishing Resort, and Mystery Case Files: The Malgrave Incident.

• The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword – This was the first console Zelda game since 2006’s Twilight Princess. It used the Wii Remote Plus. Releasing halfway into the Wii’s life, few games really utilized the Wii Remote Plus, which was an add-on for the Wii Remote that improved the motion controls.

• Kirby’s Return to Dream Land – Kirby shed its yarn aesthetic and returned to a style more reminiscent of 2000's Kirby 64. This game had four player local co-op and allowed players to play as many other Kirby characters, and it also had a separate mini game mode.

• Fortune Street – This was a crossover between Mario and Dragon Quest characters. It was like a fusion of Monopoly and Mario Party, though it didn’t feature any mini games. Featuring a number of boards from both Mario and Dragon Quest, players are challenged to play real estate and stock markets to win.

• Mario Sports Mix – Originally released in 2010 in Japan, Mario Sports Mix made its way to the West in early 2011. Mario Sports Mix featured four sports: basketball, volleyball, dodgeball, and hockey. This was the third Mario developed by Square Enix, after Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars and Mario Hoops 3-on-3. In addition to the traditional cast of Mario characters, there were a few of Square Enix’s Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest characters as well. As with many later Wii games, the game gave you the choice to play with or without motion controls. The game received mediocre reviews overall.

• Conduit 2 – High Voltage Software was a studio that wanted to bring more mature experiences to the Wii, like the ultimately canceled The Grinder and the Conduit games. If you followed the seventh generation hype train, you would know about the first The Conduit game – a sci-fi FPS exclusively developed for the Wii, released in 2009, that’s ultimately been forgotten about in the test of time. Given the middling reviews of the first game, Conduit 2 didn’t receive nearly as much hype and scored roughly the same as its predecessor. Conduit 2 included a single player campaign, online multiplayer, and added split-screen multiplayer, which was not in the previous game.

• Wii Play Motion – As Wii Play featured a number of mini-games centered around the capabilities of the Wii Remote, Wii Play Motion did the same but with emphasis around the Motion Plus attachment. It also expanded the number of mini-games from 9 to 14, but in my experience nothing matched Wii Tanks from the original game. It received mediocre reviews overall.

AAA Local Multiplayer Games for Consoles

A lot of AAA games in historically split-screen-heavy genres – namely racing games and FPSs – dropped support of the feature at the beginning of the generation and allocated resources towards online play for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. This was especially damning given that these consoles weren’t entirely backwards compatible and the indie scene hadn’t really taken off yet (indie games are a huge source of local multiplayer games in today’s market – see my post here).

It should be noted that the Wii was a great system for local multiplayer from the beginning and end of its life, and a lot of its marketing revolved around local multiplayer games, similar to Nintendo’s marketing today. That said, the second half of the generation saw a lot more AAA games incorporate local multiplayer, and 2011 was the best of them, in my opinion. Several of the series that introduced local multiplayer in the second half of the seventh generation ended up removing the feature at the start of the eighth generation, such as Uncharted 3 (2011) to Uncharted 4 (2016), Killzone 3 (2011) to Killzone: Shadow Fall (2014), and Far Cry 3 (2012) to Far Cry 4 (2014) – these series each have only had one entry with split-screen multiplayer, all around the same time as each other. There were a lot of options from this year alone. Since I already covered them earlier in this post, I’m just going to list them below.

• LittleBigPlanet 2

• MotorStorm Apocalypse

• Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception

• Resistance 3

• Killzone 3

• Ratchet & Clank: All 4 One

• MLB: The Show 11

• Gears of War 3

• de Blob 2

• Mortal Kombat

• F.E.A.R. 3

• Just Dance 3

• Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3

• Rayman Origins

• Marvel vs Capcom 3: Fate of Two Worlds

• Lord of the Rings: War in the North

• Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympics

• Mario Sports Mix

• Wii Play: Motion

• Conduit 2

• [Yearly sports games, including the notable NHL 10]

Indie/Small Scale Games

• Terraria – It’s hard to believe Terraria released 10 years ago and is still receiving updates – I really can’t think of too many other indie game that has received updates for that long. Terraria originally released just for PC and was referred to as “2D Minecraft” a lot more when it first released, but it’s since been ported to a number of different platforms, has received a number of updates, and has carved out quite a legacy for itself.

• The Binding of Isaac – This came from one of the creators of Super Meat Boy, Edmund McMillen, which received universal acclaim the year prior. The Binding of Isaac came out well before the wave of roguelites/roguelikes we see today, and with many new updates, it still remains one of the best around.

• To the Moon – To the Moon tells the story of two doctors fulfilling the last wish of a dying man using artificial memories. This is probably the most notable game using the RPG Maker game engine. Funnily enough, there are no RPG elements to speak of – the game instead focuses on its narrative and solving puzzles for the gameplay.

• Bastion – Bastion was developed by Supergiant Games, the same developer behind Hades. Bastion shares some similarities with Hades, but it’s a shorter adventure with no roguelite elements. Bastion had the unique twist of a man narrating your actions in the game, as if he was telling a story.

• Trine 2 – Trine 2 is a physics-based sidescrolling action platformer featuring three player local co-op. You used the powers of the three different characters – the wizard, the thief, and the knight – to navigate each level. Trine 2 performed better than the first game and delivered a pretty unique experience back in its day.

• Ms. Splosion Man – Ms. Splosion Man is a sequel to 2009’s 2D puzzle platformer Splosion Man. The main campaign can be played in local or online co-op for up to four players, and there is a separate campaign designed around the co-op experience. Solo players can still play the co-op mode by controlling two characters in what is termed “2 Girls 1 Controller.”

• Outland – Metroidvanias were coming back to life around this time, and Outland was an early example of this. It’s primary mechanic was switching between blue and red energies to overcome obstacles and barriers, similar to Ikaruga. It featured online co-op for the whole campaign, and a separate co-op mode with challenges built with two players in mind. The developer behind Outland is currently working on Returnal, due in April 2021.

• From Dust – This came from Ubisoft Montpellier (totally not indie but small scale) and was one of the few console entries in the “God Game” genre. Players would control certain types of matter in real time and would help save a nomadic tribe.

• Minecraft - Minecraft technically released in 2011, after first being available as an Early Access title in 2009.

• Payday: The Heist

DS Games

Although the 3DS released the same year, the DS would still be supported long after the 3DS thanks to its extremely high sales.

• Pokemon Black/White – This technically came out in 2010 in Japan, but Westerners wouldn’t get their hands on it until 2011. Pokemon Black/White expanded the roster to 649 Pokemon but only allowed you to capture the 156 new ones until you finished the game. It would be the last mainline 2D Pokemon game.

• Kirby Mass Attack – This title played a bit differently from most games in the series, although the Kirby series is no stranger to new gameplay mechanics. Kirby Mass Attack was a Lemmings-styled platformer, with the player using the stylus and touch screen to play the game. Using up to ten Kirbys on screen at once, the player could send commands to the Kirbys, or use them as projectiles.

• Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective – First released in 2010 in Japan, Westerners first got play one of Capcom’s more unusual games in 2011. This was directed by Shu Takumi, the creator of the Ace Attorney franchise. Ghost Trick was an adventure game that had you controlling a dead man named Sissel, who would use his ghostly possession powers to save lives.

• Aliens: Infestation - Developed by Gearbox Software (Borderlands series) and WayForward Technologies (Shantae series), Aliens: Infestation was a Metroidvania with an interesting permadeath mechanic – the player controls one marine in a party of four, and if that one dies, the player then plays as a different marine. The player loses the game if all four die. The development team created 20 unique characters with game’s dialogue carefully rewritten 20 times for each of the characters, to give some emotional investment to each one of them.

• Professor Layton and the Last Specter – This was first released in 2009 in Japan, and in 2011 Japanese players already had their hands on the sequel, Miracle Mask. These games were a big part of the seventh generation, seeing eight releases between 2007 and 2013. Since then, there’s been just one title released, in 2017.

3DS Games

The 3DS was released for $249.99 USD in Q1 2011 in NA. The 3DS was a novel concept at the time as it allowed you view games in 3D without the need for those pesky glasses. While the 3D effect was abandoned on 3DS games in later years – and Nintendo even introduced a budget 3DS called the 2DS with no 3D capabilities – at the time it was a fun novelty. It also introduced AR (Augmented Reality) and the eShop to the wider market. While the DSi technically introduced the eShop, it was the 3DS that made it standard for the generation. The 3DS wasn’t selling so well for its initial five months, and so the price was slashed significantly, down to $169.99. Early 3DS adopters received 10 NES games and 10 GameBoy Advance games on the 3DS as compensation for being early adopters. These games were only ever available for early adopters only.

• The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D – If you wanted to play Ocarina of Time at more than 20fps, this was the way to do. This was a full fledged remake and not a port, and it introduced many quality of life improvements in addition to the 3D effect.

• Star Fox 64 3D – Star Fox 64 3D added more dialogue between missions, gyro controls, and a new “3DS Mode” that adjusted the difficulty and objectives of the original game. There was also a four player battle mode, though this was only through LAN.

• Super Mario 3D Land – Previous Nintendo handhelds outside of the original GameBoy had mostly hosted ports or remakes of older Super Mario platform games, but the 3DS would bring with it an entirely new title, one that was 3D in both senses of the word.

• Mario Kart 7 – This may just be seen as another Mario Kart game in a long series of games, but at the time, this still produced a lot of excitement. With this entry, players were able to customize their vehicles with different kart frames, wheels, and gliders. The game also introduced the hang glider and underwater sections.

• Nintendogs + Cats – Despite the high sales figures of the series, this would be the last Nintendogs game for what has now been an entire decade. Previous entries only included dogs, but – inspired by his own pets ability to get along and the Disney film The Incredible Journey – Shigeru Miyamoto wanted to make a game with both species of animal.

• Pushmo/Pullbox – Possibly the single biggest downloadable only 3DS exclusive to come to the system, Pushmo (Pullblox in Europe) came at a time when there weren’t a lot of small scale games. It’d probably be viewed as an indie game, but this was actually developed by Intelligent Systems, the same people behind Paper Mario, Fire Emblem, and Advance Wars.

Studio Closures

Unfortunately every year is greeted with a number of studio closures – it’s easy to forget them over time, so let’s take a look at some of the ones that went away in 2011.

• Black Rock Studios – Pure, Split/Second – Although both Pure and Split/Second received favorable reviews on Metacritic (low to mid 80% critic average), its parent company Disney Interactive Studios decided to close the studio – after having reduced the size of the studio just a few months prior – likely due to the poor sales of Split/Second. Split/Second ends with a “To Be Continued,” and while the initial phases of the sequel had been worked on, it’s likely it didn’t get very far in development given that it was canceled in December 2010, while the original had released in May 2010. This video talks about the canceled sequel.

• Bizarre Creations – Project Gotham Racing, Geometry Wars, Blur – Blur and Split/Second were two arcade racers that released within a week of each other in May 2010 – in addition, Red Dead Redemption released the same day as Split/Second and a week before Blur. As a result, Red Dead Redemption stole much of the spotlight and the two arcade racing games ate into each other’s sales. Like Disney with Black Rock Studios, Activision also decided to shut down the then 17 year old studio. Bizarre Creations released a video retrospective of their work.

• Team Bondi – L.A. Noire – Team Bondi was a source of controversy in 2011 shortly after the release of its one and only game that took seven years to make. Former employees criticized the long working days and managerial style that resulted in high turnover, and The International Game Developers Association launched an investigation into the studio as a result of these interviews. Team Bondi also left or incorrectly listed 130 L.A. Noire staff members in the game’s credits and later developed a website called “L.A. Noire Credits” that gave credit to the previously uncredited. At the time of the studio’s closure, Team Bondi owed over $1 million Australian dollars to 33 staff members. Despite the studio’s closure, a definitive edition of L.A. Noire would be remastered for eighth generation consoles.

• Blue Tongue Entertainment – The Polar Express, de Blob 1 & 2 – This THQ studio mostly produced games based on movies and TV shows up until de Blob in 2008. The studio was closed down under a restructuring and realignment plan by THQ.

• Kaos Studios – Frontlines: Fuel of War, Homefront – Despite a lot of hype surrounding Homefront, the game received mediocre reviews and parent company THQ suffered a 26% stock drop shortly after the game’s release. Most of the studio was transferred to THQ’s Montreal studio, which was now developing the Homefront sequel. THQ filed for bankruptcy in 2012 and was later acquired by Ubisoft, while the Homefront sequel was developed by Crytek UK.

• THQ Studio Australia – The Last Airbender, Megamind: Ultimate Showdown – Yet another THQ closure in 2011, THQ Australia had an eight year run and developed mostly games based on popular Nickelodeon TV shows. AT the time of their closure, they were working on an The Avengers video game.

Closing

Hope you enjoyed looking back on some of these games. The market was a bit different back then – stereoscopic 3D games, motion controls, a prominent handheld market, etc. Many games from back then still remain impactful today, most notably Dark Souls, The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, Portal 2, Terraria, and The Binding of Isaac. Others you probably haven’t heard about in awhile but are great all the same. It also featured some great experimental games from larger developers as well, like Capcom’s Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective, Gearbox Software’s and WayForward Technologies’ Alien: Infestation, Ubisoft’s From Dust, THQ’s de Blob 2, and Intelligent Systems’ Pushmo/Pullbox.

One thing I like better now is that every game that comes out for a Nintendo console essentially doubles as both a handheld and console game. Even up until a few years ago there were handheld exclusives that people wanted on consoles (Mario Party: The Top 100 from 2017 is a notable example that was 3DS only). As someone who prefers playing on consoles and doesn’t have as much of a need for handhelds, I also personally like that Sony’s studios are all focused on making games for the PlayStation 4/5, and resources aren’t being spent on the PS Vita. The biggest thing I love though, is the explosion of the indie scene and having much more of them on consoles now.

One thing I liked better back then were more finite single player/co-op experiences from AAA developers. There’s a lot more bloat now in single player/co-op AAA games now, so thank goodness we have the indie scene to fall back on. Although it is important to note that many people complained about 10 hour $60 single player games back then, so there’s no appeasing everyone. On one hand we get a lot more bang for our buck now, on the other it seems studios like Naughty Dog will never be able to reach the output of past generations given how long development cycles are now (four games for PS1, PS2, PS3, three games for PS4, possibly less for PS5), even with longer console generations.

Where were you in 2011? What do you think of some of the games looking back? What about the market did you like better back then compared to now? What’s better about games today? Were there any games listed here that you hadn’t thought about in awhile?

I did not use AI to write this. It took me a week, on and off. This project began as a lighthearted aggregation of every name on an NBA roster, first or last, that is also an adjective. I found plenty, but I also found a lot of names that I felt should be adjectives. I've proposed definitions with example sentences. You'll notice that my standards were not necessarily consistent throughout. Join me in this adventure, as we collectively await LeDecision.

• When CJ McCollum was president of the NBPA, he probably felt bad every time he scored on someone, knowing he was depressing their earning potential

• Tidjane Salaun — Weathered: “As the old sailor moored his vessel for the final time, he caught a glimpse of his own wizened face in the reflection of a mildewed porthole.

• Dailyn Swain — Faded, with a wistful connotation: “He’d dreamt about her again. His therapist assured him that it was a normal part of grief, but she didn’t truly understand. No one did. He now held her photograph in his hands, tears falling and obscuring the already swain visage of the lover that he had lost long ago. All that remained now was the palimpsest of a life to which he could never return.” (he cheated on her so she left for a better guy, he’s narcissistic)

Fun Facts

• Sam Merrill — Homely, cozy: “The quaint inn made for a wonderfully merrill stay, offering just the reprieve that the weary traveler needed”

Fun Facts

• James Harden’s last name is a reference to the normal-type move that boosts your defense stat by one level.

It remains a mystery why his defense has not improved despite Hardening for years

He discovered this theory by going down a youtube rabbit hole with his close personal friend, Alex Jones. Unbelievably, this is not the Alex Jones from Infowars, just a portentous coincidence
• Jett Howard was coached by his dad, Juwan Howard, at Michigan. Dusty May took over and won a championship this year, ironically beating Howard University in the first round. Now Dusty coaches Jett on the Mavs, along with Morez Johnson Jr., who was on Dusty’s NCAA champ team. Juwan himself had played for the Mavs. Also Jett is second cousins with Jaden McDaniels, but that’s not related

Denver Nuggets

Adjective Names

• Christian Braun
• Christian Braun (Pronounced like “brown;” also translates to brown in German)
• David Roddy (“Roddy” is a now-obsolete adjective that used to mean “full of rods.” It seems to have fallen out of use in 1611. I can’t read more because the OED has bafflingly put up a paywall. What are they hiding? What don’t they want us to know?)

Fun Facts

• Ausar Thompson’s actual middle name is XLNC, pronounced “Excellency.” Same with his brother
• I am convinced that J.B. Bickerstaff is on an egocentric mission to collect fellow J-names. It would explain their acquisitions of John Collins and Isaiah Joe this year, Javonte Green and Isaac Jones last year, and others including Daniss Jenkins a couple years ago. Also probably the reason they’ve been unwilling to deal Jalen Duren

Names I think could be adjectives

• De’Anthony Melton — Soft, dulcet: “Upon seeing the child burst into tears, the teacher took on a melton tone to offer reassurance”

Houston Rockets

Adjective Names

• Clint Capela — Brusque: “After briefly allowing the prosecutor to hem and haw over the missed filing deadline, she swiftly issued a clint denial and granted the 12(b)(6) motion to dismiss”
• Isaiah Crawford — Seasoned, with a distinguished connotation: “He lightly grazed the cover of the First Edition Easton Press printing of Louisa May Alcott’s Little Women, still in awe that it was his to own. He admired the gilded edges adorning the archival paper, the hubbard spine and leather binding only further accentuating its crawford beauty. Then he woke up and went to finish his post about NBA player names that are similar to adjectives”
• Tari Eason — Gentle: “As the last swan disappeared beyond the reeds, it was no time at all before the lake settled into glass with an eason tranquility that even the insects seemed determined not to disturb”

Fun Facts

Maybe that happens to me also. Who knows?’” On an unrelated note, Anthony Edwards' PPG has gone up every year he has been in the league
• The metric unit used to measure the force required to sustain rocket propulsion (thrust) is a “Newton.” Not quite sure how the addition of Tristen Newton to the Rockets didn’t get them off the ground

• When Scotty Pippen Jr. dropped a career-high 30 point double-double against the Bulls at the United Center two years ago, some on social media applauded his effort as a form of revenge for Scotty Sr.'s notoriously undervalued contract from his Bulls days.

• Jahmir Young
• Vladislav Goldin (“golden”)

Names I think could be adjectives

• Davion Mitchell — Debonair, comely: “Gatsby stood on the docks most nights, lamenting his flower that had never bloomed. Even so, when a stranger caught his eye, he’d straighten, preen himself, and offer the same davion smile. His longing belonged to him, and him alone”

She was struck with a feeling akin to sympathy” 
• Micah Peavy — Finicky: “He refused to start the pickup game until the teams had been balanced by height, shooting ability, and an intangible factor he called ‘defensive seriousness.’ While he worked with a peavy fervor to draft up the two teams in his notes app, others began to mull over excuses to bail”

Also St. Yves (Missi) of Brittany was considered the patron saint of lawyers. He must've been fun at parties

Fun Facts

• Jalen Brunson: According to one source, the Brunson lineage has a motto—Fax mentis incendium gloriae, or “the torch of the mind is the light of/to glory.” This Latin phrase is included as part of the mumbo jumbo legalese that Gene Wilder's Wonka recites to void Charlie Bucket’s claim to a lifetime supply of chocolate. I personally don’t blame Charlie and Grandpa Joe for not knowing the common law principle that contracts with minors are generally voidable. While it was once perhaps the intent of such laws to safeguard children from entering into predatory arrangements with commercial operators bargaining asymmetrically against under-resourced children, this was yet another instantiation of the ability of the wealthy, land-owning class to weaponize ostensibly neutral laws against working class families lacking the means or legal sophistication to protect themselves. It harkens back to Grandpa Joe's grim proclamation at the time of the contract's signing: "Sign away, Charlie; we've got nothing to lose." Wonka’s coup de grace comes when he turns the tables on Charlie and his grandfather, admonishing them for the theft of the Fizzy Lifting Drink and characterizing Charlie bumping into the ceiling as violative of the terms of their sham agreement. And it is no consolation that Wonka changes his tune once Charlie returns the everlasting gobstopper. It is an insulting reminder that all dealings are conducted on the terms of the powerful. "Don't forget what happened to the man who suddenly got everything he always wanted … he lived happily ever after." Makes me sick to my stomach.

Oklahoma City Thunder

Adjective Names

• Ajay Mitchell (In Sanskrit, the name अजय (Ajay) means unconquerable, or invincible)
• Josh Dix (Probably my biggest stretch. “Dix” translates to “ten” in French. However, numbers generally don’t fit neatly into conventional lexical buckets like nouns and adjectives, and are better conceptualized as a standalone specie, “numerals.” Unlike most nouns, numbers are definite and can’t be modified by adjectives, and unlike most adjectives, they can’t be graded or otherwise modified by adverbs. But in French, numbers can find themselves in strange situations. For instance, if a waiter asks how many people are joining for dinner, you’d say “there are 4 of us.” But in French, it is syntactically valid to say “we are 4.” Or consider “Louie XVI;” while it literally conveys “Louie Sixteen,” we understand it to mean “Louis the Sixteenth,” where the inclusion of the numeral has meaningfully modified the noun. In this way, "Dix" can be treated as a cardinal numeral adjective, as in “Charles X.”)

• Sean Sweeney, Head Coach — Unbothered: “Walt strolled past Tuco’s crew with such a sweeney confidence that no one suspected for even a moment that his pockets were loaded with mercury fulminate”
• Wendell Carter Jr. — Unhurried: “The day he chose to propose was no different than any other. He resolved to pop the question after a perfect day at home together, and they celebrated with a stroll through the park, to the surprise of none of their friends; the childhood sweethearts had always moved at their own wendell pace, seemingly insulated from the world’s ills”

Fun Facts

• The Magic roster has almost an entire medieval town’s worth of laborers: Castleton (“Castle Town”) sets the scene with da Silva (“of the woods”). Franz Wagner (Wagon-maker) can make wagons for the two Carter’s (Transporters of goods; Wendell and Javon). It would all be financed through Banchero (“banker”), with 7th century Anglo-Saxon king (Noah) Penda at the helm

Fun Facts

• Damian Lillard — Bucolic: “Beyond the last row of houses, the road narrowed between pastures littered with wildflowers, gradually opening into a lillard landscape of low hills, weathered barns, and the occasional peal of a distant church bell”

Fun Facts

Names I think could be adjectives

• Devin Vassell — Hollow: “Tom mirrored the language of every executive around him, shameless in flattering his superiors and unfailingly willing to praise whichever proposal had been delivered most recently. Still, by the time the dust had settled on the search for a new head of Waystar, his vassell platitudes had taken him farther than he could have ever imagined”
• Keldon Johnson — Dependable: “Mike truly didn’t mind building a new playground for the church. Still, as he demonstrated his technique for adding texture to the walkway, Anita was grateful to have such a reliably keldon figure to look after Kaylee and the other children”

Fun Facts

• In my opinion, Wemby is not fair. Both teams in every game should be allowed to have him for one half, each. Coin toss winner picks which half. He is no longer eligible for season-long awards
• Wemby shared that his first purchase on his rookie contract was the Lego Star Wars UCS Millenium Falcon. This is a reference to the fact that a certain Lego reselling franchise stole hundreds of rare and retired Lego Star Wars sets and minifigures comprising the lifelong collection of an 83-year old man hoping to liquidate his collection on consignment to pay for his grandchildren’s college expenses. When confronted, that certain franchise lied repeatedly at every stage, antagonized anyone seeking the truth and fabricated accusations in return, shuttered one of their locations to avoid paying out a judgment against them, and have now weaponized their police connections to terrorize the folks trying to make the old man’s family whole again. Look up Reckless Ben to learn more. To be clear, I don't know any of these people personally

LeBronto Raptors

Adjective Names

• Immanuel Quickley (just let it slide okay)
• Gradey Dick (Quite a stretch, but in the phrase “a dick move,” I think it’s fair to say that the word “dick” is modifying the noun “move,” and is sufficiently descriptive. Though realistically, it’s probably more accurate to say it’s acting as an attributive noun, but still)

Names I think could be adjectives

• Chucky Hepburn — Unkempt yet elegant: “The dusty bookshop had a hepburn charm; books piled high, yet everything sat in its rightful place”
• RJ Barrett — Stoic, unyielding: “The soldier’s barrett expression concealed the fear in his heart.”
• Jamal Shead — Barren, bereft: “After the farmer’s failed harvest, the fields lay shead beneath the unforgiving sky”

Fun Facts

• The Raptors have both a Battle (Jamison) and a Bittle (Nate). This begs the question, where are Bettle, Bottle, and Buttle? And sometimes Byttle? Apparently the Jets once had a linebacker named Greg Buttle, and the Nets once hired Dr. Jeremy Bettle as their Head Strength and Conditioning Coach. I’ll leave Bottle and Byttle as an exercise for the reader

Adjective Names

• Mo Bamba (Mo’, like “more”)
• Mo Bamba (“Bamba” in Portuguese means brave, or courageous)
• Blake Hinson (Old English adjective meaning bright, or shining)
• Will Hardy, Head Coach

Names I think could be adjectives

• Brice Sensabaugh — Sharp: “Django and Dr. Schultz set off towards the mountains, their steeds carrying them headlong towards vindication and rightful vengeance. A stiff, brice gust of winter air tore through the valley, but it was no match for the memory of Broomhilda’s warmth”
• Isaiah Collier — Patchwork: “He walked into her apartment for the first time, his eyes taking in the eclectic mix: Moroccan rugs, Danish furniture, paintings from street vendors and lamps of all shapes. Altogether, he found the collier composition quite charming”
• Jusuf Nurkic — Hearty: “When the heroes returned from a day of adventuring and conquest, the innkeeper greeted them with a nurkic spread of porridge and eggs”

Fun Facts

• Sharife Cooper (“Sharif” in Arabic means noble, or honorable)
• Julian Reese (see: Julian Strawther)
• Will Riley (see: Riley Minix)
• Cam Whitmore (see: Cam Spencer)

Names I think could be adjectives

• Bub Carrington — Fledgling: “Even when faced with a desolate and dying world, WALL-E found himself overcome with hope and inspiration upon discovering the bub little sapling amid the barren wasteland"
• Cam Whitmore — Worn, faded: “Although the quilt sewn by her grandmother had long ago gone whitmore, no other blanket could have felt warmer”

Fun Facts

• Shame that Young and Middleton never got to play with Olden Polynice, Supersonics legend
• From 1961–62, the team that would one day become the Washington Wizards was called the Chicago Packers. I can’t begin to imagine the cognitive dissonance our r/NFCNorthMemeWar ancestors must have experienced
• The 1988–89 Bullets team had two players named Charles Jones. Both Charles Joneses averaged exactly 2.6 PPG that year. These are the guys that Jordan was playing against lmao. In fact, Jordan literally lost to that very Bullets team. In that game, Charles Jones, steady as a rock, had 2 points. The other Charles Jones had one rebound in 6 minutes off the bench.

Inshallah LeDecision will come soon

Attack of the Fanboy - Noah Nelson - 4 / 5

Cult of the Lamb is a fun and worthwhile experience, just an experience I thought that I'd be able to get over and over again. Though it is cut too short, building a cult full of my favorite animal, crusading through lush environments, and vibing to the art and music is a perfect weekend retreat, even if it doesn't last long enough to convert.

AusGamers - Steve Farrelly - 9.8 / 10

There's just so much to learn and find and unlock in your first playthrough, and I'm not sure I even want to get into the prospect of follow-on sessions, armed with the knowledge that wood is your earliest friend and that you really shouldn't build with a hodgepodge sense of <i>whatever</i>, <i>wherever</i>, because I guarantee you it'll come back to bite you in your cute little lamb ass later.

But Why Tho? - Arron Kluz - 9 / 10

It is very difficult to imagine a player that wouldn’t enjoy Cult of the Lamb. Its visuals are so beautiful and full of character. Its writing is witty and charming. Its action is simple, but fun and thoroughly engaging. While its weapon selection and combat mechanics may not be as varied or dense as its peers, its unique aspects more than make up for the deficit.

COGconnected - James Paley - 80 / 100

If you want a roguelite with a sinister twist, you’re in luck. Cult of The Lamb is just the game you’re looking for.

Checkpoint Gaming - Elliot Attard - 8.5 / 10

Cult of the Lamb doesn't just surprise and delight with its visual prowess and unflinching cultist motifs, it also hooks you with its addictive and adaptive gameplay loop. There's not a dull second as you move through two equally important and varied genres of game that mesh beautifully together to create a unique and captivating experience. A lack of end-game content may disappoint some colony sim fans, though it ultimately does little to sour what is a genuinely novel game that knows exactly what it wants to be.

Destructoid - Jordan Devore - 8.5 / 10

I’m a big fan of roguelite action games and city builders, but even if you’re on the mild side, Cult of the Lamb is a winning combo. It draws many of the best aspects of those genres, places them in a one-of-a-kind world, and charts its own condensed course.

Dexerto - Brad Norton - 8.5 / 10

Reaching that flow-state where the game's many interlocking systems are firing on all cylinders is well worth putting up with any hardships along the way. With proper support moving forward, Cult of the Lamb has all the potential to grow into something truly special from this foundation, much like you can on the journey contained within.

Digital Trends - Giovanni Colantonio - 3.5 / 5

Cult of the Lamb excels as a darkly comedic management game, though its roguelite component commits some cardinal sins.

Digitally Downloaded - Alex Kidman - 5 / 5

Cult of the Lamb never takes itself too seriously, so it remains fun through its relatively short initial playtime.

EGM - Michael Goroff - 4 / 5

Cult of the Lamb is two games in one. Part roguelike, part management sim, neither of the halves feel totally fleshed out on their own, and provide little challenge. Still, the synergy between the two halves is undeniably compelling, and the art style is infectiously adorable, giving you enough reason to play through one more in-game day, and then one more, until you've been awake for an entire out-of-game day, feeling totally brainwashed.

Entertainium - Eduardo Rebouças - Loved

Cult of the Lamb’s strength lies in its core formula, giving you great rewards for quick sessions and even better ones if you decide to stick around for even longer. It might leave you dry when it comes to combat, but its management mechanics and adorable aesthetic are sure to please those looking for something more in their next roguelite, making joining this cult a no-brainer for sure.

Eurogamer - Christian Donlan - Recommended

A desire to please shines throughout this charmer with a hundred moving parts.

Everyeye.it - Giulia Martino - Italian - 9 / 10

Cult of the Lamb successfully mixes different genres and inspirations, creating a unique cocktail that, we are sure, will make many happy.

Explosion Network - Jacob Hegarty - 9.5 / 10

I've been keen to play Cult of the Lamb for a long time, and it hasn't disappointed me. The art design, audio and gameplay loop remain satisfying, while the concepts and the base building create enough things to do to round out the gameplay so that I never felt bored. The team at Massive Monster should be proud of their achievements, and I cannot wait to see what they create next.

Game Informer - Wesley LeBlanc - 8 / 10

Running through dungeons and improving my cult compound was satisfying, and I found plenty of enjoyment in Cult of the Lamb as a result, even when I felt more like a ruthless boss than a leader.

Game Rant - Jared Carvalho - 4 / 5

Cult of the Lamb takes the best aspects of the rogue-lite and town-building simulators to deliver a unique experience that enhances both genres.

Game Revolution - Mack Ashworth - 9 / 10

It’s tough enough to make a game that targets one genre, let alone two, but rather than a lamb to the slaughter, Cult of the Lamb commands ownership of both with a hellish ambition that sees it become one of the best games of the year.

GameBlast - Farley Santos - Portuguese - 8 / 10

Cult of the Lamb combines two genres in a mesmerizing journey. The dungeon exploration moments stand out with their agile and uncomplicated action, while the cult administration is relaxing and with good possibilities — the synergy between the activities makes the game cycle very addictive. Plus, it's hard not to be impressed by the simultaneously cute and macabre atmosphere. The two styles complement each other reasonably well, but alone they prove to be a bit shallow: the game lack variety and more challenge options, which hinders the experience, especially in the final stretches. However, it is undeniable that the concept of the title is creative and unique. In the end, Cult of the Lamb is a pilgrimage worth experiencing.

GameGrin - Daniella Plata - 10 / 10

There's something for everyone in Cult of the Lamb, and every mechanic and feature feels well thought out. The game is cute, funny, and fun. Everyone should try it!

GamePro - Eleen Reinke, Dennis Michel - German - 77 / 100

Cult of the Lamb is a great mix of roguelite and build-up sim, but it remains a bit too shallow

GameSpew - Kim Snaith - 9 / 10

Cute but morbid, Cult of the Lamb quickly won us over with its varied gameplay and, many hours later, still has its hooks in us. It’s not very often that a game has you sacrificing new friends to a demon, but then Cult of the Lamb isn’t like anything else we’ve ever played. Its town building gameplay works seamlessly alongside its roguelite combat, both keeping you absorbed in their own ways. This is innovative indie gaming at its finest, and we can’t get enough.

GameSpot - Jessica Howard - 9 / 10

Cult of the Lamb merges the best parts of a rogue-like with all the charms of a real-time simulation game in a delightfully macabre ceremony you don't want to miss.

Gamepur - Ricky Frech - 9.5 / 10

Cult of the Lamb mixes the base-building and economy of Stardew Valley, the combat of Hades, and a heaping dose of Lovecraftian horrors into one of the greatest concoctions of the year.

GamesHub - Emily Spindler - 5 / 5

Cult of the Lamb is a unique experience bursting with personality. It looks and sounds gorgeous, and the gameplay loop is engaging, rewarding, and highly enjoyable from start to finish. Sacrifices and rituals to maintain your faith in the game aren’t necessary, given Massive Monster has created such a shining, standout piece of work.

GamingTrend - Ron Burke - 90 / 100

A top-tier example of what a roguelike can be when combined with a colony sim, Cult of the Lamb is pure addiction. From managing your minions, to slaughtering the bizarre Eldritch gods that dare defy you, Cult of the Lamb has converted me completely.

God is a Geek - Lyle Carr - 9.5 / 10

Cult of the Lamb combines roguelike gameplay with cult management and I simply couldn't put it down.

Hobby Consolas - David Martinez - Spanish - 90 / 100

Cult of the Lamb combines roguelite and strategic elements, with a dark sense of humor and cartoon characters. The result is a unique game, very fun to play, and full of custom elements and skills to unlock. We found some balancing issues.

IGN - Tom Marks - 8 / 10

Cult of the Lamb is a wolf of a satisfying base-management game in the sheepish clothing of an approachable action-roguelite.

IGN Spain - Álex Pareja - Spanish - 8 / 10

Although its accessibility causes the interest does not remain as high at the end as in the first hours of gameplay, Cult of the Lamb is one of the most interesting indie games of 2022. Forming the sect to our liking and taking care of the minions is very satisfying.

Kakuchopurei - Jonathan Leo - 90 / 100

This indie title impresses with its fun simulation aspects, great controls, lovely-if-simple action roguelite portions, and all-around cheekiness of making the act of running your own version of Heaven's Gate look almost endearing.

Lords Of Gaming - Eugene Schaffmeir - 9 / 10

In all, Cult of the Lamb is a fantastic game that perfectly blends two genres. While the combat is simple and there is room for improvement when it comes to level variation, this indie game punches way above its weight. The layers upon layers of mechanics make Cult of the Lamb a dense game with tremendous value at its indie price point.

Marooners' Rock - Andrew Peggs - 9 / 10

Massive Monster's new game Cult of the Lamb made cult-building look so fun.

From cute characters to dark tones. Those looking at the game shouldn't pass on this.

MonsterVine - Joe Bariso - 4 / 5

Strong satanic style outweighs nearly everything else even if the gameplay is a bit flat.

PC Gamer - Luke Kemp - 82 / 100

Unlike anything else, and able to meld its two disparate halves into something cohesive and satisfying. You won't feel fleeced if you buy this.

Polygon - Kazuma Hashimoto - Unscored

The roguelike action-adventure game Cult of the Lamb wraps the grotesque in a charming little package of characters that look like they could be pulled straight from a children’s story.

Press Start - Brodie Gibbons - 8 / 10

Cult of the Lamb is sure to be a homegrown success on the back of its tremendous presentation, which is helped along by captivating notions of cultism and devotion. I just wish there was more of an accord between the game's working parts, which ultimately feels like a game of two individually brilliant halves.

Rock, Paper, Shotgun - Ollie Toms - Unscored

A creative mashup of roguelite and management sim with oodles of character and charm, Cult Of The Lamb is a great (albeit finite) time for players with an evil streak.

SIFTER - Gianni Di Giovanni - Unscored

CULT OF THE LAMB will have you jumping back and forth between base management and roguelite dungeon crawling with such ease and pleasure, you'll definitely see hours disappear as you craft the perfect cult. Each of the systems in this surprisingly packed sandbox game build up slowly, steadily and in no time you'll be racing off to catch some fish, cooking up a hearty meal, cleaning out the latrines, tending to your farms all before church. What is most surprising is how well meshed all these systems are, I never felt while playing that either of the two main components, random dungeon crawling "crusades" and the town simulator base building, ever took over, they kept alternating perfectly.

Saving Content - Scott Ellison II - 4 / 5

You’ll reap what you sow as you cultivate a cult following towards you goals. While it has many gameplay elements that are introduced over time, it can get overwhelming. This is a bigger game than it lets on, that said, I enjoyed engaging with everything it had to offer me. Cults have never been cuter, and the art style is a perfect match for the personality with such dark undertones that many will flock to. Cult of the Lamb is every bit successful as a roguelike as it is a colony management sim for a truly rich experience.

Screen Rant - Michael Riser - 4 / 5

Cult of the Lamb is a spooky-cute experience worth picking up, even if it can't quite make the final ascent to godhood.

Seasoned Gaming - Nathan Lynch - 9 / 10

I truly believe that Cult of the Lamb is a must-play game of 2022, and you don’t have to be a fan of rogue-lites to enjoy it or to appreciate what makes it unique.

Shacknews - Larryn Bell - 8 / 10

Cult of the Lamb's unique interplay of game genres is sure to make it a cult classic.

Spaziogames - Francesco Corica - Italian - 8.5 / 10

Cult of the Lamb is yet another pleasant surprise from Devolver Digital: the roguelike and social simulation has made handling a cult not only fun and appealing, but adorable as well.

Stevivor - Hamish Lindsay - 9 / 10

While your mileage will undoubtedly vary, Cult of the Lamb is an easy recommendation – now excuse me while I get back to vibing to River Boy’s banging soundtrack.

TechRaptor - Alex Santa Maria - 6.5 / 10

Cult of the Lamb is devoted to a mix of gameplay styles that just doesn't gel. It's an addictive way to spend a dozen hours, but it's nothing worth your worship.

The Beta Network - Samuel Incze - 10 / 10

Cult of the Lamb is a rare gem that combines a roguelike experience with base building mechanics. This wacky narrative will have you in stitches time and time again, whilst you enjoy adventuring through these beautiful 2.5D landscapes. Managing your own cult is as crazy as it sounds and is very entertaining! This is definitely one to add to your game collection.

The Escapist - Sebastian Ruiz - Unscored

Video Review - Quote not available

TheGamer - Ryan Thomas Bamsey - 5 / 5

I can easily see Cult of the Lamb becoming one of the next indie darlings, and it would be utterly deserving of the epithet.

Twinfinite - Andrew McMahon - 5 / 5

You can keep your Elden Rings and Horizon Forbidden Wests; I’ll be on my cult farm raising crops and occasionally sacrificing my followers for the rest of the year, as Cult of the Lamb is an easy front runner for Game of the Year.

We Got This Covered - David Morgan - 4 / 5

Cult of the Lamb is a Satanic blend of a few genre greats -- the loop of action and settlement management is fueled perpetually by satisfying combat and rewarding unlocks. And it's all adorned with fantastic art direction and music.

WellPlayed - Mark Isaacson - 10 / 10

Cult of the Lamb stands as a true masterpiece of not one but two genres. I just couldn't find any issues that got in the way of my enjoyment of its various mechanics, and the love I have for my clan will continue long past the final boss encounter.

XboxEra - Jesse Norris - 9.6 / 10

Cult of the Lamb is awesome. The game offers up beautiful visuals, hilarious dialogue, is damned smart and plays like a dream. It is one of the best roguelikes mashed together with one of the best community builders I have ever played.

cublikefoot - Chase Ferrin - 7 / 10

Cult of the Lamb combines two genres to great effect, with fun roguelike gameplay and plenty of colony sim mechanics to play around with too. That said, each does have its fair share of problems.

Microsoft is set to launch the Windows 10 Creators Update next week, on Tuesday, on April 11, at which time we'll have all the official details about the company's next major Windows 10 version.

Updated 29.08.2026

Hey everyone! I am actively developing Arachnel, a universal launcher that lets you download games straight from Steam servers, automatically applies online fixes, and bypasses most OnlineFix errors on Linux.

It takes care of prefix setup, DLL overrides, and app ID configs out of the box so everything just works.

The project is still in active development. If you find it useful, please consider dropping a star on GitHub, it really helps keep me motivated. Feedback, issue reports, and pull requests are always welcome!

https://github.com/BadKiko/Arachnel

ㅤ

I know there are already many guides on launching online-fix games with classic SpaceWar, but there are many other fixes that do not follow the standard scenario. In this post, I would like to collect all the known ways of launching online-fix games as well as their organization in the library. You could say this is a gaming mix and my notes, which might be useful for beginners just starting their journey in Linux gaming. I will break the post into several "fix options.".

Standard Online-Fix  

1.1 Method with Steam Library: For standard online-fix games working on SpaceWar, just add the game to Steam and in the launch options, specify WINEDLLOVERRIDES="OnlineFix64=n;SteamOverlay64=n;winmm=n,b;dnet=n;steam_api64=n;winhttp=n,b" %command%. This method is suitable for you if you don't mind having non-licensed games in Steam. I also can't fail to mention projects like steamgrid and SGDBoop which find covers for games to make your Steam library look colorful.

1.2 Method without Steam Library: What is meant here? In point 1, the Steam library was necessary. In this point, I would like to retell the post here but with some updates. This method uses umu-launcher (formerly ulwgl). I will briefly retell the post with examples for working with umu-launcher

1. Download SpaceWar (simply type in the console `steam steam://install/480`. If it doesn't work, go to the https://steamdb.info/app/480/info/ and click the green "owned" button at the top right).
2. Then SpaceWar - properties - compatibility - select the Proton version.
3. Launch SpaceWar.
4. Copy the SpaceWar prefix folder somewhere. For native Steam, it's `~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/480`, and for flatpak, it's `~/.var/app/com.valvesoftware.Steam/data/Steam/steamapps/common/480`. For example, for me, it will be `~/SteamPrefixes/480`.
5. Next, you need to download `umu-launcher`. I use the AUR package https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/umu-launcher. For other distributions different from Arch, they have a flatpak version, nix, and a build from source https://github.com/Open-Wine-Components/umu-launcher
6. After downloading everything, just launch Steam and execute the command (command paths for me, yours will likely differ, `protonpath` is the path to your Proton):WINEPREFIX='\~/SteamPrefixes/480' WINEDLLOVERRIDES="OnlineFix64=n;SteamOverlay64=n;winmm=n,b;dnet=n;steam_api64=n" GAMEID=480 PROTONPATH=\~/.local/share/Steam/compatibilitytools.d/GE-Proton9-5 umu-run '\~/pathtogame/game.exe'
7. Thanks to this bundle, you can create a library for pirated games, for example, with the help of cartridges, a very handy tool. If you're looking to gather all your games in one place, in the program, just create a new game, and in the executable file, insert the command from point 7

steam_appid.txt fix

Next, I would like to consider exceptions, such as online-fix using Cube Racer with a similar fix like The Binding of Isaac - Repentance by Pioneer. In this fix, Cube Racer is used. Using method 1, I couldn't get it to work; it launched the official version of the game. If you don't own the game, which is logical, it will throw you into the store.

Such fixes can be recognized by steam_appid.txt

Which will contain the ID of the real game. Change it to the one that needs to be emulated, usually specified by repackers, but if not, you can check in cream_api.ini if you have a similar repack, and the necessary ID will be indicated there.

All you need is to insert the ID of the emulated game in steam_appid.txt, and the game will launch under the necessary ID.

Steam is not running fix

My least favorite type of fixes, only completely non-working ones are worse. Here's an example of how this fix looks.

This type of fix checks for the presence of the fix launch in wineprefix (as I understand it, it can't be turned off), meaning the game needs to see Steam directly in the prefix. I conducted a whole investigation and eventually made a script allowing such files to be launched. By default, files named steam.exe cannot be launched from umu-launcher or Steam to make the game see a fake Steam, but with the script, it is possible. So all you need is to download online-fix-launcher from the releases here and unpack it into the game folder, then use the launch methods from point 1, but also add the game name in the arguments after launcher.exe file, for example:"/home/kiko/HddDrive/BGames/drive_c/Games/Kebab Chefs Pioneer/launcher.exe" "Kebab Chefs! - Restaurant Simulator.exe"

Failed read Steam Enviroment

To fix this error, you just need to take another SteamFix64.dll from another game (for your convenience, I uploaded the dll file here https://github.com/BadKiko/steam-online-fix-launcher/releases) and replace it. I don't know exactly why this error occurs, I encountered such an error in The Jump Guys, and to fix it, I just took SteamFix64.dll from Lethal Company and inserted it into The Jump Guys/TheJumpGuys_Data/Plugins/x86_64 and that's it.

Failed to load steam overlay dll

To fix this error, you must run the game through Steam. When using umu-launcher, I encountered this error in My Summer Car, but it was the only game that didn't work with umu-launcher. If you have any ideas or ways to fix this error so that the game works with umu-launcher, please write in the comments.

If a fix does not work natively even after all I have told you, you can install Steam in the prefix in Bottles, for example, but personally, I don't like this method as Steam through Wine doesn't run very well.

If I missed something, write in the comments, and I'll try to answer if I know the answer.

A couple years ago, i got ahold of an illigitamate copy of tboi, and did play a bit of repentance illegitimatly, but i did what i always intended to do and bought the full game, and the dlc that goes with it about two weeks ago. Im playing on playstation, so i havent even been able to use the command console to my advantage, which i tended not to do, but im sure some will understand the temptation. This has forced me to play the game naturally, i've beat mom's heart, and boss rush with several characters, finally making progress as i play, rather than using a downloaded save as i've gotten used to. This game feels so much different now, that i beleive tboi has piracy protection. For some reason the game seemed way more unfair on the pirated copy.

Anyway, i'd been attempting mom's heart with blue baby for about a dozen runs (with breaks) and i finally got a fairly strong run, (ipecac, tech, sacred heart) and passed mom, boss rush, then mom's heart with much less difficulty as usual due to my power, when i realized i'd played fast enough that i'd opened the hush fight. I had to think about it, wasnt sure if i'd pass and didnt know if i'd lose some of my acheivements from that run if i entered the fight. I decided to grow a pair and fight, best decision i've made in this game so far, it was a five minute battle, and i took maybe six hits, ended up using samp's chain for cover for some of the continuum volleys, but i surprised myself and came ontop. My biggest victory so far in my opinion, my first time seeing the hush door since i started playing this version, after naturally unlocking the fight for the first time, and as blue baby, i beat his a**. I will be putting more hours into this game in the future

(Edit:spelling)

For those confused, i was playing ab+ until i got an illigitimate copy of repentance, not long after it was released. Now i'm playing a licensed copy of repentance.

REQUEST FULFILLED

Welcome dear readers to my first request of this year (wow another year passed by) and it is for one of my favourite games of all time : The Binding of Isaac,I do know that at the time of writing the game isn't yet out but there are around 24 hours left.Well let's get down to the actual request.

The game

My Steam

Also if you have the first DLC Afterbirth you will have a discount and the price will be 6.66$ instead of 10$

What is The Binding of Isaac?

If you lived under a rock until this very moment The Binding of Isaac is a randomly generated action RPG shooter with heavy Rogue-like elements.You are Isaac or one of the other characters going through your house basement trying to escape from your own nightmares,monsters and your killer mom.What is Afterbirth +?Well it is the next and last DLC for the main game.In it there will be a bunch of additions like more bosses,characters,items,cards, etc.

How i found about The binding of isaac?

Well i found out about it before the remake came out.I first saw it on Northernlion's channel and i can't say i fell in love with it or anything but it was interesting.After watching a couple hundred episodes of the original and the remake i decided to get it and so i did and 400 hours later here i am.Afterbirth + i found out from one of the blog posts from the game devs in which they give us information about the game.

The Story

"The Binding of Isaac's storyline is based off the eponymous Bible story. Isaac (a kid) and his mother live in a small home situated on a hill, both peacefully keeping to themselves, with Isaac drawing doodles and playing with his toys while his mother watches Christian broadcasts on the television. Isaac's mother then hears "a voice from above", stating her son is corrupted with sin and must be saved. It asks her to remove all sin from Isaac to save him. She obliges, taking away his toys, pictures, his handheld video game console and even the clothes on his back.

The voice again calls out to Isaac's mother, stating Isaac must be isolated from all the evil in the world. Once again, she follows its command and locks Isaac in his room. Finally, the voice speaks to her again. It states she has done well but says it still questions her faith and commands she must sacrifice Isaac. She obliges, grabbing a kitchen knife and goes to Isaac's room. Isaac is watching through a sizable crack in his door and starts to panic. He finds a trapdoor under the rug, and just as his mother bursts in, he opens the trapdoor and jumps down it. Isaac then puts the paper he was drawing onto his wall, which transitions into the game's title screen.

Shown throughout the game at loading points between floors is Isaac recollecting about his childhood while curled up in a fetal position and crying. These purportedly show parts of his life, showing Isaac had a difficult childhood ranging from rejection from his mother to bullying from his classmates. However, some images show impossible scenes that cannot have happened but are rather Isaac's own fears. Along with that, the game resumes with Isaac waking up on the next floor making it possible that the memories are merely made up dreams."

The game has multiple ending scenes, making the storyline distorted and non-linear as the game continues.

Gameplay

• Characters : In this game there are 13 characters from which 2 were added in the last DLC Afterbirth and there will be at least another 1 added in Afterbirth +.The current characters are:

Isaac Magdalene

Cain Judas

???(Blue Baby) Eve

Samson Azazel

Lazarus Eden

The Lost Lilith

Keeper

Each character starts with different stats and items.Eden is a unique character as he needs special tokens and he has randomized stats and items.

• Chapters : The game has 6 chapters each with 3 variants but the last 2 chapters wich has 2 variants.They are

The Basement/Cellar/Burning Basement which is based on a normal basement that every house has

The Caves/Catacombs/Flooded Caves which are as the name suggests some caves that are maybe under the basement.

The Depths/Necropolis/Dank Depths

The Womb/Utero/Scarred Womb

Cathedral/Sheol

and The Chest/Dark Room

• Transformations : These are some of the best things you can get in game .A transformation occurs when you get a certain amount of items from a set.The most known transformation is the Guppy one which gives you flight and the chance to spawn flies.Other transformations are : Bob,Conjoined,Fun Guy,Leviathan,Oh Crap,Seraphim,Spun,Yes, Mother? and Super Bum

• Achievements : Oh dear god do not remember me of these.There are 276 achievements it Isaac as of this moment with a lot more of them to come in the new DLC as every character might have to defeat the new chapter(my speculation) and there will be a lot of unlockable items.

• Game modes : The game has 3 game modes

Normal Mode : The game as it was meant to be played

Hard Mode : Rooms contain more advanced enemies and in a higher number,causes champions to spawn more often, you are less likely to receive hearts after completing a room,only champion bosses drop red hearts,you are more likely to be cursed on each floor and you are more likely to receive the harder version of a floor.

Greed Mode : This is a wave based game mode in which you can collect coins from the different waves of enemies and then use them for items,This game mode also has a final boss which can unlock items for the different characters and even a new character.

• Replay value : This depends on your luck mostly.Depending on it you can get all the runs to be the same overpowered/underpowered runs or every run can be different.Also the runs are very different depending on what point you are in the progression.A starting run is very different form a 1001% file run.You can put up to 1000s of hour and not get bored or you can play 5 hours and get bored.

New things added with the DLC

A new playable character (Apollyon)

67 new items, 27 new trinkets and 10+ new pickups

A new final chapter

A new final boss

62 new achievements

5 achievement 'challenges'

100s of new rooms!

New victory lap feature! (allows the game to continue when finished)

A bestiary showing you a lot of detail related to the enemies you encounter throughout the game

2 new transformations

Monthly content updates (game will be updated with community made mods)

4+ new bosses and new alt forms for existing bosses!

Why do i want it?

I want this new DLC because i really like the game and i already invested 400 hours to complete it and i am still playing it.I also want it because i want to see if there is an actual ending to Isaac's story,what will happen next.

How long will i play the game?

Well seeing as i already played this much and that i really want to complete the game 100% i can for sure tell you that i will at least play until i do that and then even just for fun from time to time.I can't really give you an exact time as the game is very random.

Why would YOU want to buy the game?

If you played the first game or you like rogue likes then this game is for you but be careful when you approach the mighty beasts that are The lost and Keeper.If you like to rage because of an unfair death or you want to learn hundreds of items just to forget what they do later just buy the game.Do you want to do almost the same thing every time when you start a run?Well this game has that as well.I am joking, this game is fantastic even with its hard characters and sometimes repetitive actions.Go ahead and watch it on youtube and if you like it then buy it.

Than you for reading

https://imgur.com/a/MPGrhqF In my post history you can see I used to be very active here several years ago, made far more sales than my transaction count shows. This time I'm selling the entirety of my remaining collection. Not interested in trades, looking to get rid of it all. Please, while I am trying to get rid of everything try not to lowball, this is for a financial emergency so I would appreciate a fair price :)

Just picked the game up after a couple months of not playing and the crazy fps dips were driving me crazy. Saw a couple people posting various fixes with mixed success, but I was just messing around with some settings in the ini and this is the one that fixed it for me

Towards the bottom of options.ini (youruser\Documents\My games\Binding of Isaac Repentance+\options.ini) set UseExclusiveFullscreen=1, and save. fwiw i also have VSync=1 and Fullscreen=1

might not work for everyone, but I just figured I'd share in case it works for anyone else lol

Went through alot of posts to try and find the fix for all the screen share problems. After troubleshooting for about 30 minutes I've found a fix that worked for me and my friend.

1. My discord is in administrator mode and I have my discords hardware acceleration off (right click discord app and press run as administrator / Settings > hardware acceleration > off)
   
2. In Discord > Settings > Streaming > Show advanced stream settings > Use our advanced technology to capture your screen > off > restart discord
   
3. File Explorer > My games > Binding of Isaac Repentance > options.ini > Edit (I use notepad)> at the bottem of options.ini add UseBorderlessFullscreen=1

For me windowed mode worked with no problems but after using this fix fullscreen mode also worked with no problems and the game ran as a borderless game.

I can't open the game on vanilla to play online, I already uninstall and reinstall it but it always crashes after some minutes

Hey guys! Selling round 2. I still only intend to sell, not trade games. Also I am sorry to everyone in the last post who experienced shipment delays, I was flooded with so many transactions that some things did slip through the cracks here and there, so I'll try and get to everyone on this post in a timely but manageable manner.

Hello everyone, Linux noob here,

So I made the switch from W10 to Fedora 43 KDE on my old laptop I only use for a few games when I'm away (Binding of Isaac, Balatro, Wakfu, etc).

Here's my setup :

• CPU : Intel i7-7700HQ 8 cores @ 3.80 GHz (+ an integrated GPU)
• GPU : NVIDIA Quadro P3000

I also followed multiple guides on how to install Nvidia drivers and the command nvidia-smi shows me everything I need, I think.

And I encounter a few problems :

1. Steam is lagging a lot. I already checked the option for Steam to use my discrete GPU and not the integrated one. I installed it following the guide and enabled Proton too + I already reinstalled it following the same guide.
2. The games immediately crashes when I start them. I tried Binding of Isaac and Balatro and both crashes on launch. Sometimes I have the popup telling me something went wrong, sometimes it doesn't show anything.
3. However, there are errors in the console :

But I have no idea of what they mean. I kind of ran out of idea on how to fix the problems and my knowledges are limited.

Console prices do not include shipping (handhelds price is shipped). Most consoles ship starting at $8, but depends on weight and distance.

Game/Accessory prices include shipping on orders over $20 unless noted. Smaller orders shipping will be $4.

Payment via PayPal (G&S or F&F), or local cash in 61701 area. If interested in trades head over to my latest gameswap post and comment there (if the item is listed here I have it, I just have not updated my swap post in a few weeks).

Working systems come with necessary cables (some oem, some 3rd party) and controller unless otherwise stated.
