Whether you feel like it or not, work still needs to get done, one way or another. At times, when my schedule’s packed and I’m exhausted, I find myself procrastinating instead of getting work done. Instead of getting mad at myself, I found three web…

On the Switch 2’s launch day, there will only be a handful of fully original games that aren’t ports. Mario Kart World will be available, but among the other few original titles is a game called Survival Kids. You’d be forgiven for not knowing it is actually part of a larger series.

Some days are trickier than others — just like other NYT Games favorites The Mini and Strands. If you’re having a little trouble solving today’s puzzle, check…
Sometimes it isn’t what you play, but where you play it that makes all the difference. Ever since the Nintendo Switch came out, more and more games have been described as “perfect on Switch” for feeling more at home on a handheld device.
