Nothing is eternal, except for wild Dog.exe milk.

When I woke up early in the morning and glanced out the window, my heart sank—oh no.

Most people first encounter Rebellion Developments through the Sniper Elite series—to be honest, there aren't many other options, as the studio primarily focuses on Sniper Elite and its spin-off, the Zombie Army series. Occasional new original IPs merely adopt the Zombie Army framework with a different thematic overlay.

At the end of each season, you can see fierce competition across major regions as teams strive to climb the ranks.

Tobi is also an old friend of ours.

2025 is the Year of the Ninja, a consensus among action game enthusiasts. This is because the two titans of the ninja genre have both risen from the grave at the same time... or perhaps "the return of the kings" would be a better description? Who would have thought that in 2025, we'd see both Master Hayabusa and Master Joe Musashi showcasing their skills once again.

As you know, the world of viral memes like 'Hajimi' is always full of creative talents.

When it comes to "typing games," or rather, "typing training software," most people born in the 80s or 90s might first think of "Cops and Robbers" from Kingsoft Typing, or perhaps SEGA's "The Typing of the Dead" released in 2000. But regardless of which one, they all seem to carry a heavy sense of history when viewed today.

Since early last month, I've been completely hooked on "New Three Roasts." Sometimes I watch R9 and laugh out loud, other times I read Zhe Bang and can't help but chuckle. This 2010 TV series adaptation of Romance of the Three Kingdoms is like an inexhaustible treasure trove, providing endless laughs for everyone... But if we're talking about the most outrageous line in the entire series, it has to be this one.

It's hot, really hot.

A while ago, while attending BitSummit with my colleagues, we discovered a unique indie game called "Echoes of the Path." This game introduces significant innovations to the platformer puzzle-solving framework by integrating concepts like "record," "play," and "rewind" from cassette tapes, offering a distinct and enjoyable gameplay experience.

January in Shanghai was cold, but the atmosphere at the Baoshan Shenglin MALL Esports Arena was exceptionally warm.

Last year, we wrote an article about "Summer Hallucination MCE," the largest passion-driven fan translation group on Bilibili, exploiting its members. The dragon slayer eventually became the dragon, only to be challenged by a new hero, the "Candy Heart Subtitles Group." Unexpectedly, within just half a year, we have reached an outcome worthy of another article.

Ever since the trailer featuring Eku was released for "Morbid Metal," I've been keeping an eye on this game. On one hand, apart from "Warframe," there aren't many mech-brawler style games on the market; on the other hand, the combat gameplay showcased in that trailer was indeed visually appealing.

It all started with the Arknights New Year's Gala at the beginning of the year.

The CS Asia Championship (CAC) might truly be a lucky charm for Brazilians. Last year, they defeated FUT, HEROIC, and 3DMAX in succession to claim the CAC2025 trophy. This year, they delivered another top-tier performance, overcoming every obstacle to reach the finals.

I was reborn, returning to the time before the "Resident Evil" apocalypse descended upon reality.

Recently, whenever I chat with colleagues about games, I often like to repeatedly bring up the concept of "next-generation anime-style games." But this term is actually meaningless; it's purely to help me better understand the trends in the new round of competition among anime-style games. After all, even "anime-style games" don't have a clear definition to this day. So here, I'll tentatively define them as F2P games featuring 2D illustrations or anime-style rendering as the main visual style, led by characters with diverse personalities and designs, and maintaining seasonal and periodic content updates.

On June 18, at the Nanchang stop of the "Shengshi Tianxia" creators' meet-and-greet, host announced that the event had trended on social media after Gong Zhengye, who plays Li Yifu, hilariously mimicked the scene where Wu Yuanzhao dies from itching due to poisoning.

On the eve of this year's Bitsummit, Tokyo Stories, a pixel-art 3D game that has been in development for many years, suddenly announced a partnership with Japanese indie publisher Happinet. The game's demo also made a comeback at the event, sparking considerable discussion among players. At the time, we covered it with a hands-on preview report; interested players can check it out here: Tokyo Stories BitSummit Hands-On Preview: Lost in Shibuya.
