Magic: the Gathering Comes Home to Gen Con for 25th Birthday
On August 19th, 1993, the collectible card game Magic: the Gathering was introduced at longstanding gaming festival Gen Con in Geneva, Wisconsin.

Videogame Review: ‘Dead Cells’ Masters Castlevania-like Gameplay for Modern Consoles
Kill. Die. Learn. Repeat. I grew up playing games like Castlevania and Metroid on the NES. No matter how far technology pushed boundaries with videogames, these side-scrollers were always reliable.
