I may never be able to go back to a time before RGG Studio and Snoop Dogg took to the Summer Game Fest 2026 stage to tell the world they’d pirated a copy of the late Tupac. But during this year’s Summer Game Fest Play Days event, I had the opportunity to finally get my […]

I’ve been to plenty of dedicated, hands-on game preview events in my career, but there’s always still opportunity for the circumstances to surprise me.
