This week Fresh Look Columnist Michelle Sayatovich is overjoyed because Apple Arcade subscribers are getting new mobile releases every Friday for the entire month of January 2023. And these new titles are just the recipe for combatting the winter blues. Check out her column about these newly released mobile games.
We covered the fun but flawed Pokémon Scarlet and Violet when initially released, but there is more than one fan of the series among the GiN reviewer crew. So, while Neal Sayatovich agrees with his colleague Vincent Mahoney, he still wants to offer his own take focusing on Pokémon Violet.
The beloved Pokémon series has undergone many reiterations, although they are mostly filled with incremental changes. Pokémon Scarlet and Violet really does try something new with the introduction of the robust open world Paldea region and three separate story paths.
As with millions of other players, Michelle is playing Pokémon Violet and Scarlet this week alongside her husband and friends. And while most people seem to be flocking to team Violet, she finds that she is Team Scarlet all the way. Find out about some of her epic adventures this week in the new open world Paldea region.
