Poll What Did You Think Of The Summer Game Fest 2022 Opening Showcase?
Was it a win, or does it belong in the bin?
This week, we finally saw the Summer Game Fest kick off with a packed - albeit slightly overlong - opening showcase. The show was full of surprises, though we do think it's a shame that some of the announcements were leaked beforehand (poor Naughty Dog). In terms of the Switch, there wasn't a great deal...

Back Page So, What Are We Calling This Not-E3 Conference, Anyway?
To E3 or not to E3
In the magazine business, the Back Page is where you'd find all the weird goofs that we couldn't fit in anywhere else. Some may call it "filler"; we prefer "a whole page to make terrible jokes that are tangentially related to the content of the mag". We don't have (paper) pages on the internet, but we still love terrible jokes...

The Summer Game Fest is this week, and the world premieres are starting to ramp up already.
