What It’s Like to Open Magic: The Gathering’s $1000 Anniversary Box

Ever since Magic: The Gathering’s 30th Anniversary Edition was announced in October, it’s been making headlines. Its $1000 price tag for four randomized booster packs of 15 non-tournament legal cards from Magic’s first set (some of which Wizards of the Coast promised never to reprint back in 1996) had many players up in arms , to the point where even Wall Street took notice . The tensions around it are higher than I’ve seen with any Magic product in a very long time, with some arguing it's an overpriced insult to the player base while others see it as just another premium collectable in a game built on them. So when Wizards of the Coast offered to send IGN two for whatever coverage we saw fit, I was honestly pretty surprised. These boxes are an ephemeral thing – on November 28, they were officially available for less than an hour before the official Magic Twitter account announced the sale had “concluded.” Meanwhile WOTC had seemingly already sent packs to celebrities like ba...

The Last of Us Part 1 PC Release Date Set for March

Announced tonight during The Game Awards, The Last of Us Part 1 officially has a PC release date: March 3, 2023. This remake of The Last of Us was originally slated to arrive on PC "very soon" after its September launch on PlayStation 5, but we hadn't heard a firm date since then. A trailer shown during the award show gives a fresh look at familiar gameplay now captured on PC. In our review of The Last of Us Part 1 , IGN's own Luke Reilly called it "a gorgeous and well-honed remake of one of the biggest boppers in the PlayStation pantheon, The Last of Us Part I is the best way to play – or replay – Naughty Dog’s esteemed survival classic."

Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League got a new trailer at The Game Awards , which paid tribute to the late Kevin Conroy . We also got a release date for the game, which is coming on May 26, 2023. The trailer opened with a silhouette of Batman, before showing the Suicide Squad torturing the Flash. Then, Batman arrives and starts doing his thing in the shadows, which definitely frightens the Suicide Squad. Batman ultimately reveals himself and turns out the lights. The trailer ended with a tribute to Conroy, with a message that said "Thank You Kevin". After the trailer, host Geoff Keighley confirmed that Conroy is the voice of Batman in Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League. Conroy voiced the Caped Crusader in Rocksteady's Arkham games and in the Batman 1990s Animated Series. He passed away on November 10 following a short battle with cancer. Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League was initially supposed to launch this year, before developer Rocksteady delayed the g...

Vampire Survivors Announced for iOS and Android

The popular roguelite, Vampire Survivors, is available on iOS and Android. The full game is available for download now, for free. As announced during The Game Awards , the bullet hell hit Vampire Survivors is now playable on iOS and Android joining its counterparts on Xbox and Steam, where it is currently one of the most popular games on the Steam Deck. We were huge fans of Vampire Survivors' 1.0 release earlier this year, awarding it an 8 in our review . At the time, we said, "With its dead-simple graphics and basic map and enemy design, Vampire Survivors seems like it has no business sticking with me as much as it does. And yet, I felt compelled to put over a hundred hours into experimenting with its many weapon and ability upgrade combinations, starting round after round trying to reach the end and unlock all of its characters, evolve all of its weapons, and unlock all of its secrets." Vampire Survivors also earned a nomination for IGN's Best Game of 2022 . ...
