A little over a year ago, Three Fields Entertainment graced us with a sort of reboot of the Burnout series by a different name. Danger Zone, as it was called, focused on the Crash mode from Criterion’s heyday and it was a pretty damn ...

The Final Fantasy XIV x Monster Hunter: World crossover event is nearly underway. Over the weekend, Capcom shared its first good look at the Behemoth quest coming to World on August 1. It's meant for players at Hunter Rank 16 or higher, and...

When people say "Square doesn't make old-school RPGs anymore" I can't understand it. We might have been lucky to get two Bravely Defaults, but they've been investing in other projects for years like Setsuna and Lost Sphear. Although th...

Though the 2D games have been stellar, 3D titles kicked off by Super Mario 64 have given players the grandest experiences. This begs the question, how do they stack up against one another?

This is an honest and genuine question. I have only now started to play Fortnite with the advent of Season 5. I haven't even played many battle royale games at all, really. I've played some Fortnite in squads back when it was new ...

Pearl and Marina are finally available in amiibo form. Don't get cooked. Stay Off the Hook.

On Friday, the highly anticipated Octopath Traveler for Nintendo Switch finally launched, capping off what has been a long and exhaustive road from reveal to release. The game has a lot going for it, much of which ties it to the JRPGs of ou...

When I tell people that a large reason why I went vegetarian two years ago is because of chickens, most of them gasp in disbelief. "But they're mean and taste delicious" is usually the response. I get it. I love them and want to own some on...

Last week, I got to thinking about Viva Piñata after seeing its name pop up on a list of games that use Xbox One's new FastStart feature to let you download and start playing up to twice as fast as before. "I never want to not be pla...

PUBG is nearly done test-driving its new form of monetization. It recently implemented something it's calling an Event Pass -- an experience points-based system that has players chasing down in-game tasks to level up through the ranks....

Although Capcom's arcade compendium Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection has been available in the West for some time now, Japan is still awaiting its own edition of the game, featuring localised text and character names.When it final...

I'm baffled right now. Absolutely baffled. Befuddled even. Nonplus. The karting genre is a gaming no-brainer. It's one of the linchpins of the industry, corralling casual and hardcore gamers alike. It's been that way since the early 1990s, ...

Somewhat surprising news coming out of GOG today. Starting this Monday, GOG will cease to support the Brazilian Portuguese language on their site but will maintain the ability to buy games with Brazilian real when publishers allow their gam...

Pocket Rumble’s arrival on Switch comes at an awkward time. We initially found out about the port last year and it was expected to launch in the first few months of the system. That didn’t happen, obviously, and in its absence, ...

As we've written in the past, Gravity Rush 2's online component is going to be shut down soon (in four days, to be exact). While this normally wouldn't be a big deal for a single-player focused game, a lot of features in Gravity Rush 2 are ...

[image credit: Tyler McGrath] Sonic is back. Okay well he had a trademark misstep with Forces, but the charm of Sonic Mania and its subsequent cartoon are undeniable: enough to muster an appreciation that will cleanse the world of the ...

Alternate box art is a blessing. It reminds me of a bygone era with full-color manuals, Working Designs pack-ins (a legacy that companies like NIS and Atlus keep going to this day), and little trinkets with your shiny new game. It's not qui...

According to a recent survey by childcare.co.uk, 86 percent of parents in the United Kingdom allow their kids to play games that are mature-rated without any sort of supervision and without knowledge of the games' content. The sample group ...

The video game industry has grown well beyond the concept of score chasing and arcade action. We live in a time where one can make a game with virtually any concept and imbue it with an emotional core. This medium is beautiful, chaotic, wil...

History has not been kind to Aliens: Colonial Marines, and today's story doesn't exactly improve its shoddy reputation. As spotted on ResetEra, a modder attempting to overhaul Colonial Marines found an issue in the game's .ini file causing ...

Every time Tessa Thompson's character in Sorry to Bother You shows up, she is wearing a new pair of earrings of her own design. These serve as the perfect metaphor for the movie itself: they are big, impractical, provocative, lack any subtl...

The Spectrum Retreat is a puzzling game. It's a puzzle game, sure, and that means solutions are the great reward. But there's an overarching story that's slowly unraveled, and answering its mystery is the greatest reward. The problem i...

We all have that game, perhaps sat on Steam or on our shelves, that just never gets started. You have all the intention, even the desire, but the time time just never seems right. Maybe you did start it, before being distracted or changing ...

Buckle up, buckaroo. After years of rumors, speculation, trickery (let's throw double-crosses in there as well), Sony Pictures is finally gearing up for Zombieland 2. This news alone isn't much to get excited about; after all, Sony Pictur...

[Update: Mr. PleaseAddAntiCheat has been banned from Splatoon 2 online play. It looks like the first part of his wish came true, that just leaves whether Nintendo is taking measures to heed his message in the long term. Of note is that he m...
