Reserve a copy through Amazon ahead of time and you'll get $5 off the game (from $59.99 to $54.99) plus an exclusive in-game outfit. The reviews are trickling in for Pokémon Legends: Arceus, Game Freak's upcoming action RPG for the Nintendo Switch — and from the sound of things, it's one of the finest Pokémon games we've gotten in years (albeit a little "messy" at times):"It stumbles often on its way to innovation (it’s trying to evolve a nearly 24-year-old series, after all) and brings equal parts brilliance and frustration in its updated systems," writes Polygon's Ryan Gilliam. "But the good bits in Pokémon Legends: Arceus outweigh the bad, rounding out a successful first attempt at an action-centric Pokémon game."Per Steve Watts of GameRant: "Once Pokémon Legends: Arceus finds its stride ... it's the

On Tuesday, Netflix launched a new social media channel to celebrate and champion the pan-Asian diaspora: Netflix Golden. The introductory video for the channel features too many major — and talented — stars of Asian descent to name, but amongst the lineup is Freida Pinto, Ken Jeong, and Tan France. "We are billions of people from dozens of countries with hundreds of languages and probably a trillion different ways to ferment vegetables," say multiple stars in the clip.The initiative is the latest in a string of audience-focused channels that Netflix has created, including Strong Black Lead, Most, and Netflix Is a Joke. The YouTube promotion, directed by Shruti Ganguly, has been launched in tandem with individual Instagram, Twitter, and TikTok accounts dedicated to Netflix Golden.

The folks at Google are apparently as happily obsessed with Wordle as everyone else.The tech giant has embedded a new Easter egg in search results for Wordle, the word guessing game that went viral at the start of 2022.Now, when you search for the game on Google, six squares in the Wordle style appear at the top of the results above the search bar. The squares get filled with letters, forming a few different words, with different letters lighting up in green and yellow. So close! Finally, the invisible Wordle player hits on the right six letter word, which is, of course, Google.  Tweet may have been deleted Nothin' but greens, baby!

It's something close to criminal that Infocom isn't better known in the 21st century.The iconic developer of all-text story games — commonly referred to as "text adventures" — like Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy and the Zork series shut down in 1989, but not before releasing a library of titles that are some of the earliest to demonstrate the storytelling potential of video games. It's a rich history that's largely been squandered under the stewardship of Activision, which acquired Infocom in 1986.Now, though, there's hope for Infocom fans in the form of business news: Microsoft is lining up to acquire Activision Blizzard in a blockbuster deal worth almost $80 billion. Most of the attention has been rightly focused on the to-be-acquired publisher's popular franchises like Call of Duty and Overwatch, as well as what the deal means for an employer that's faced a growing number of toxic workplace accusations since
