Last year, Activision announced that customers who pre-ordered Call of Duty: Black Ops III would be able to access the game's multiplayer beta, with PlayStation 4 users receiving first access. This trend is set to continue this year, a...   read

My previous experience with the Duke Nukem franchise has thus far been relegated to Duke Nukem Forever, an overwhelmingly unpleasant experience that I cannot recommend to anyone with a pulse. As a result, when I wandered into Gearbox S...   read

I had an hour to check out four games Square Enix was showing at PAX West this year. One was Dragon Quest Builders, which Chris just looked at recently. Two others were old games being brought up to current visual standards, Final Fantasy X...   read

I respect We Are Chicago. It's a game that applies the Telltale choice-based model to low-income families living on the South Side of Chicago. The script was penned by a high school guidance counselor who spent his life in neighborhoods jus...   read

At a private appointment in Culver City, Logitech representatives showed me an iceberg on a presentation slide. The tiny summit above the water symbolized the dedicated gamers who already know about the best of the best in tech, and the hid...   read

I recently swung (swang?) by the Devolver Digital booth at PAX West 2016 to take a good hard look at STRAFE, a hardcore-old-school-ultra-stylized-FPS-roguelike-simulated-gorefest. I've been side-eying STRAFE since its ridiculous Kickstarter...   read

It's hard to believe Chroma Squad launched in April of 2015 on PC, and we're just now getting a release window on other platforms. Bandai Namco has announced that they will publish the game on PS4, Xbox One, Vita, iOS, and Android in "early...   read

[Lonely because you're not at PAX West this weekend? Fear not, for I see companionship in your gaming future! Look at all of these people! The List will be updated in perpetuity. -Panda] [It is my pride and joy that people make friends for ...   read

Activision doesn't hold "XP" events very often. In fact this year's celebration is the second XP ever -- it's far from an annual event like BlizzCon seeing as the first was held all the way back in 2011. So naturally they'd want to go all-o...   read

The term "roguelike" has been bastardized a bit and can cause some confusion at times, but I think most people can think of a few traits that always persist. Permadeath, randomized level design and possibly powerups, and tough difficulty ar...   read

In a weird twist, Niantic is adding a cool feature to Pokemon Go that will probably get a fair few folks interested again. It's called the "Buddy Pokemon" mechanic, and allows you to pick your favorite creature to appear alongside your char...   read

Whatever your console of choice, Labor Day weekend is bringing about many discounts on 8th generation console. This is doubly true as the entire market gears up for Sony and Nintendo's upcoming announcements next week on new consoles. For t...   read

Zombies in an Infinity Ward game? I was skeptical. Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare had one of the worst reveals in recent history, but it's only gone up from there. People seemed to be jazzed about the unveiling of the multiplayer eleme...   read

N++ has finally made its way back to the platform the original game launched on. I can’t even remember the first time I played N, but I know it was a staple of my highschool years. I used to goof off instead of doing homework by punis...   read

As I was ushered into the most packed tent of the Call of Duty XP event to play Modern Warfare Remastered, I didn't know what to expect. Maybe they completely revamped the UI and all of the perks, I thought. Maybe they added in a ton of wac...   read

It's hard to believe that the Uncharted movie project originated in 2008, but somehow someway, people are still trying to get it made. I mean why not right? It would be so easy to script, given that the games are basically movies themselves...   read

Hand of Fate 2 is many things. It's a deck-building game. It's a brawler with Arkham-like combat. It's Dungeons and Dragons. It's all of these things simultaneously, taking the best parts of each, creating something that manages t...   read

Revealed this week at PAX West, Telltale's The Walking Dead Season 3 is set to debut in November as "A New Frontier." As usual it'll have a "Season Pass Disc," and an opportunity to individually download each episode. They've re-confirmed t...   read

As we first reported a few weeks ago, Animal Crossing New Leaf is getting a major update this year that will incorporate amiibo support. The update will allow any character featured in the amiibo card line and the Animal Crossing serie...   read

Sega has provided a new look at Yakuza 6 through the official website. Along with a pretty nice gallery comes information about the battle system and some general changes to the gameplay. The Yakuza fan in me is salivating with an...   read

Batman is back in action on September 20, when Telltale's series resumes with its second episode titled "Children of Arkham." The foreshadowing is strong with this one if you recall a specific event from the first, where Bruce is talking ab...   read

Activision has been pretty quiet about the Modern Warfare Remastered re-release, and it's pretty clear why -- they were saving some reveals for the XP event. I had the chance to speak to developer Raven Software's Dave Pellas and ...   read

When it comes to Gears of War, all the variation is in the weapons. Each character operates the exact same, it's just the armaments that change gameplay. Someone toting a Boomshot is going to maneuver very differently than someone sporting ...   read

We usually keep the HDTV deal lists to our weekend post roundups (tucked away in the bottom, for those unaware) - but this Labor Day weekend we've spotted a good number of offers. What better way to honor the labor movement by spending mind...   read

We had a pretty good hunch last week. Now that the Duke Nukem timer has reached zero, we know it for sure: We're getting more Duke Nukem soon. The self-proclaimed king is back. At PAX West, Gearbox Software announced Duke Nukem 3...   read
