The Walking Dead Season 1 & 2 have yet to show their decomposing faces on Nintendo Switch, but that all looks about to change according to a new retailer listing. European outlet Media Markt features listings for the first two seasons of the narrative-driven zombie series for Ninty’s hybrid console, claiming they’ll be released on August 31. Given that The Walking Dead: The Final Season is just around the corner, it would make sense that Telltale uses the opportunity to bring the earlier seasons to Switch owners....

Around three years ago, developer Matt Dabrowski released Streets of Rogue to the public. Despite what the title may imply, Streets of Rogue has little to do with Sega’s Streets of Rage beat ‘em up series in terms of both gameplay and premise. Instead, it functions as a top-down rogue-lite that the Steam page describes as “Nuclear Throne meets Deus Ex, mixed with the anarchy of GTA.” It managed to receive incredibly positive fan reactions on Steam, which likely had at least something to do with why Dabrowski began work on a sequel, which he briefly mentioned in a Steam news update....

Enhance Games’ Tetris Effect is hiding a nostalgia-scented surprise in the form of a stage inspired by the 1989 Game Boy version of the block-building phenomenon. The stage is accessed by reaching level 50, which shouldn’t prove too difficult, and includes some brilliant visual effects that helps recreates the iconic Tetris title from Nintendo’s multi-million selling handheld. These include a green hue that replicates the Game Boy’s original screen (remember, Tetris came out before the Game Boy Color was even a thing), and if you’re like me will probably make you feel just a bit old....

Also, like any other year, 2019 produced its fair share of awfulness....

With the thousands, if not millions, of video games available for public consumption, it can be difficult for new intellectual properties to stand out from the crowd. When a game does happen to gain a spot in the public eye, it is common for developers to reuse the same characters or universe in order to help the next game gain traction. Eventually, most series die, with only a lucky few spanning decades of consistent releases....
