Planet Craft started kind of meh but I am now really into it...Basically a subnautica kind of game; you land on a planet..
you know nothing, don't even understand how the game works but you go out; explore, grow, get better and so on...
The goal of terraforming the planet from a barren planet to a liveable one and see the changes is really addicting aswell.

Circana US June hardware sales are out. Xbox unit sales increased 86% over June 2025, while dollar sales more than doubled. In both June 2025 and in June 2026 a price increase had been announced but not started yet (August 2025 and September 2026), so both months would have extra sales from people scrambling to buy one before the price increase. While the increase in dollar sales is partly explained by the higher price tag vs June 2025, the 86% increase in unit sales would be due to other factors, including perhaps games announced on the summer showcase, a new Xbox head (Asha) since June 2025, and the announce that Xbox will have more exclusives in the future.
PS5 and Switch 2 both saw decreases in sales, 43% for PS5 in units and 19% in dollars. Switch 2 launched in June 2025 so of course it's sales are down in June 2026, it is down 79% in unit sales.

DF did a pretty cool 3 way comparison here between the OG game, the 10 year anniversary remaster, and the 25 year anniversary remake. They not only show how big the graphical leap is, but show how the art design in the remake is often much closer to the OG than Saber Interactive's 10 year remaster.


YES!!!! Talk about an out of left field announcement. World's Edge announced a year and a half ago that all upcoming DLC for AoE3 DE was canceled. It would've included the Poles and Danes. Ecstatic to see it's finally happening!
Welcome Explorers to a brand-new expansion coming to #AoEIII: DE - The Baltic Powers! This expansion will include the Danes and the Poles, two new Challenge Scenarios, 20+ new maps, and much, much more.

Would love the KOTOR games to get achievements. I know they have Steam Achievements, but Steam Achievements suck compared to PlayStation Trophies and Xbox Achievements. But hey, a lot of players and even core players think achievements are stupid.
