Expand your vocabulary with our contest for Momodora: Reverie Under the Moonlight! I have a college degree, if you can believe it. It's an English degree, which is why I write for a website in my spare time instead of working for a bank or ...

Resident Evil 2's One-Shot demo gives players half an hour and a single stressful chance to poke around the undead-infested police station. It's a brilliant concept for a horror game demo, particularly one with as much pent-up excitement an...

Like Lazarus, The Walking Dead: The Final Season has risen from the grave to continue shuffling toward its seemingly dour conclusion. After the unfortunate closure of Telltale Games last year, it seemed that all was lost for the story of Cl...

In the primordial days before your mom was on the internet, we grew up in fear of the other. In the '80s and '90s, we frequently spoke of the mist-shrouded land across the ocean that controlled most of the games we played. Whether we discus...

The early 2000s were a boon for action games. The PS2 was hitting its stride and would go on to cement itself as one of the most extravagant purveyors of the genre. While there were plenty of wild risks that seemed to endlessly pay off, a s...

The past several years have been hard for Halo: The Master Chief Collection, to put it lightly. On the one hand, I don't fault fans who felt burned by the sorry state of the compilation. On the other hand, 343 Industries' commitment to set ...

Can you believe we're almost at the end of the first month of 2019?.. You can? Well, for me it's been pretty fast-moving, despite the fact that I've been particularly stationary (the state of being, that is, not the letter-writing equipment...

A huge swath of video game-related video content was erased with one fell swoop yesterday. Machinima, a large network of YouTube gaming channels, had all of its videos removed without any sort of prior warning given to the creators. This co...

Sony has gone all-in on PlayStation flash sales these past couple years, and if there are any signs that the now-regularly-scheduled deals are going to simmer down in 2019, I'm not seeing them. This weekend's PS4, PS3, and Vita flash sale p...

Travis Strikes Again: No More Heroes launches exclusively on Switch today, and anyone who picks it up will notice that there's an extensive wardrobe for Travis Touchdown to wear. That's because Suda51 and Grasshopper Manufacture includ...

Video games have really changed as a storytelling medium. What was once a casual dash from left-to-right, dropping baddies and collecting shiny objects, opened up into new realms of drama, narrative, and even philosophical messages. Of cour...

Don't you just love Friday releases? It's so freeing to be able to stay up late with a new game knowing full well you can continue where you left off the next day (and catch up on lost sleep another time). As a reviewer, I much prefer Tuesd...

Since both Dan and I listed Resident Evil 2 as one of our most anticipated games for 2019, we obviously had to the play the new "One-Shot" demo over the weekend. After a grueling 30 minutes spent running through the renovated ruins of Racco...

Back when it dropped in November on PC I said that Overkill's The Walking Dead doesn't really know what it wants to be, and it seems as if publisher Starbreeze Studios doesn't either. After an overwhelmingly tepid response amid a currently ...

Sega Shop in the UK have the perfect gift for any Sonic the Hedgehog fan who wishes to add a further dimension to their gameplay. The "Official Sonic the Hedgehog Candle Holder with Scented Candle" is on sale for those with lots of money to...

Arc System Works and PQube have teamed up to deliver Guilty Gear 20th Anniversary Edition, which is now slated for a spring 2019 release date on Switch. It's basically a re-release of the 1998 original plus the already announced Guilty Gear...

This little old post from Littlewolf128 hit me like a ton of bricks. Yeah, I definitely want a GameCube dock for my Switch, especially when the GameCube controller ports actually work by way of the GC to Switch adapter! Digging into th...
