GTA 6 has had many different rumors flooding its gate since it was announced, but with the release of its first trailer, everything got more heightened than before. Everything with this game has been crazy since then, but some of the rumors have some interesting points that many of us then wonder are true or not.

Stardew Valley just received a big update about two weeks ago, bringing many new features and items to the game and it has had players enjoying themselves ever since. However, the update was only avaliable on PC and not to those on console and mobile. But, that is about to change.

We have an interesting update on The Coalition that should interest anyone who plays games on Unreal – but especially if you have an Xbox.

Upon its release in February, the roguelike deck-building game Balatro surpassed all expectations, selling 250,000 copies in its first three days on the market and over one million copies in only one month. Fast-paced and easy to approach, it’s proven to be addictive to most dabblers, and almost two months post-release, the game is gearing up to receive its first major update.

We have a pair of rumors indicating that Activision is gearing up for their reveal of the next Call of Duty game.

Yuji Naka has resurfaced on Twitter, with a spicy message to start off our week.

There are many ways to improve your deck in Balatro, and nearly all of them are a valid focus of any given run. Planet Cards can enhance your played hands, Tarot Cards offer a variety of small benefits, and Jokers drastically change how your deck plays. The rarest form of enhancement, however, is the Spectral Card. 

You won’t get far in Balatro if you don’t augment your starting deck. Even the best decks in Balatro struggle to go beyond Ante 2, so you better get your butt in gear if you want to succeed. There are many ways to gain power in Balatro, but one of the more interesting is through the use of Tarot Cards.

Balatro may start as a simple play on Poker, but it very quickly evolves into a whole different beast. Within the core loop, this is done through augmenting your starting deck. This could be through the acquisition of new cards, the powering up of old cards, or directly altering the value of the hands you are playing. 

Balatro is one of the intoxicating games to be released in 2024. Many players (ourselves included) sunk an ungodly amount of time into the pre-release demo, and even more time once it finally hit launch. Since then, the game has exploded in the roguelike deckbuilder scene, and rightfully so.

Vanillaware is experienced in doing multiplatform titles, and their latest game, Unicorn Overlord, wasn’t just multiplatform, but it’s already sold over half a million units.
