Yesterday, Wizards of the Coast announced that Field of the Dead, a powerful, zombie-producing land that has been seeing heavy play, would be banned in Magic: The Gathering’s Standard format. While many players are certainly happy to see Field of the Dead exit Standard, some remain skeptical that this banning will be enough to right the ship that is MTG’s most popular constructed format, and a handful of these fans have decided to express their skepticism by posting memes on the Magic: The Gathering subreddit....

The Metro games may be some of the most atmospheric around, demonstrating its dreary vibe in several iterations including remasters in the form of Metro Redux. It now appears that Switch owners will get an opportunity to play the games on the hybrid console as well.

However, as The Nerd Stash points out, Gematsu’s reporting on Metro Redux’s listing for Nintendo Switch indicates that the games included in Metro Redux have been rated for the Switch by the Pan European Game Information board and will be re-listed closer to the release date....

Sega is advertising Judgment as a very different spin-off to its long-running Yakuza series. In reality, Judgment still feels a lot like a Yakuza title for better or worse, but a strong story and solid gameplay make it one of the best games released in 2019 so far. Whereas the Yakuza series puts players in the shoes of the titular Japanese gangsters, Judgment’s playable character is Takayuki Yagami, a lawyer turned private detective who also has deep ties to the yakuza....
