Review: Mario + Rabbids: Kingdom Battle
Laura Kate reviewed that Rabbids game for us. Kind of fitting she was the one to do it, all things considered.

Final Fantasy and Assassin's Creed team up to make sick happen, Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle is finally here, and we're definitely not loading our Raspberry Pi with SNES games.
Bethesda's Paid Mods That Aren't Paid Mods But Are Paid Mods

Uwe Boll's awfulness returns for another ill-advised dip in the BloodRayne ocean.This time, vampire cowboys.
The Jimquisition: PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds: The Call Of Looty
PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds is the latest Early Access darling, but like Ark and Darkest Dungeon, it's learning that such a status comes with caveats.Hot off the heels of its "Stream Sniping" ban wave, Battlegrounds' recent microtransaction indulgence raised eyebrows and pitchforks both.Also, loot boxes really are the worst.Bonus Content: Oh, Ubisoft!
Podquisition Episode 144: Harold The Giraffe
We'll never find out why Harold the Giraffe is allowed in schools.Elsewhere, we detail the sad fate of McBusted, The SNES Classic preorders are an unsurprising mess, and some videogame stuff happened!
The Jimquisition: The Joykilling Culture Of 'AAA' Games
We Happy Few has slowly transformed since it first arrived on Early Access, but its latest metamorphosis was sudden and jarring - it's a "AAA" game now.Gearbox acquiring the title, and the effect it's had on the game, demonstrate that "AAA" is not so much about the funds or the studio, but about the culture.Now take your Joy, and appreciate that I'm Undertale canon.Bonus Content: Fuck Konami News

The Jimquisition: Shadow Of More Dollars
Oh sorry, did you think we were NOT going to look at microtransactions coming to Shadow of War?Did you think the appearance of loot boxes for a single-player game would escape my Sauronesque eye?Did you really think I'd not take EVERY opportunity to bash something Warner Bros. has done?If you don't know me by now...
Podquisition Episode 142: A Trail Of Blood And Spunk
I didn't wanna call today's episode what it is. You can thank Gav and Splatoon 2 for that.Otherwise, let's chat about Shadow of War's loot boxes, the curse of Hellblade, and how millennials destroyed vinyl LPs.

Unity Has An Image Problem (The Jimquisition)
Unity has an image problem, but who is to blame? According to at least one developer, it's the media's fault. Fake news!But Unity, now linked heavily to some of the worst games in the world, really doesn't seem to care, that might be the real heart of the issue.Bonus Content: Oh, Ubisoft!

The Jimquisition: Steam Needs To Axe Shithead Developers
Let's not beat about the bush. Valve can fix Steam's nastiest problem, but it involves showing some authority.Valve may hate to put the boot down, but if you want to stop having Digital Homicides, Dentolas, or Fun Creators, you need to look at their behavior, not the games they're making.Bonus Content: Life Haxz with Jim Sterling
Review: Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy
