It has been 10 years since we last corrupted on Empire Bay -- a city that never sleeps, but its residents sometimes sleep with the fishes. If ratings board rumors pan out, we'll be racketeering and extorting again later this year. Ratings f...
Nintendo's first-party stuff never really goes on sale. That's the double-edged sword of Nintendo's Seal of Quality -- when games are this good, you don't need to lower the price. It's rare to find anything more than modest discounts on the...
When you're a shark, you have to feel pretty confident about your standings in the underwater food chain. It's like being a human on land. Sure, maybe a bear will ruthlessly murder me and play with my skull, but there's only a very slim ch...
Mayhem will soon be reignited. Saints Row: The Third -- the Saints Row that took the series from beloved GTA knockoff to absurdist comedic anarchy -- is being remastered for PC, PS4, and Xbox One. Deep Silver's return to Ste...
Would you like to pick up a naked monster and slam it into chunks? That's it. That's the lede, the highlight, and the premise of the whole damn article. Grapple a nude beast and powerbomb it so forcefully that all its limbs going flying in...
The internet is incredible but oftentimes predictable. For instance, as soon as I saw a hotel lobby piano in Half-Life: Alyx, I thought "Oh shit, people are gonna play real music on that." And they have. But just because it's predictable do...
Hey, are you out and about? You're not supposed to be out and about! You're supposed to be home, sleeping all day and playing video games. That's what responsible adults do right now. So, for the homebound, here's a game about being inside ...
More than a year and a half after Fallout 76 first launched, it's coming to Steam. Alongside the Wastelanders update on April 14 (we're finally getting NPCs), Bethesda is expanding beyond its proprietary launcher and setting ...
Our Spidey Sense didn't betray us yesterday. Despite it being April Fool's, Cellar Door Games teasing a new Rogue Legacy felt legitimate. As it turns out, this was no joke or goof, no prankin' or foolin'. Cellar Door confirmed that it'...
The inevitable has finally happened. Amid everyone working from home and workflows drastically changing, PlayStation and Naughty Dog have been forced to delay The Last of Us Part II yet again. PlayStation announced the setback in a sim...
Rogue Legacy developer Cellar Door Games knows April 1 isn't the day to make announcement. It does, however, think April 1 is the day for teases. We'll evidently hear about a sequel to one of the most successful indie games ever tomorr...
Totally Reliable Delivery Service is one of those names that should be in scare quotes -- or at least half of it should. "Totally Reliable" Delivery Service is more accurate because hahaha nothing about this clumsy-ass bear is re...
Not all April Fool's Day stunts are born out of a desire to deceive. Sometimes they're born out of actual ambition. That's the case with this painful prank from Monster Boy and the Cursed Kingdom developer FDG Entertainment and the DuckTale...
If battle royale is all about surviving, Warzone cheaters are living fast and dying young. Like Dikembe Mutombo swatting shots and finger-wagging in disapproval (I miss sports!), Infinity Ward is shutting down cheaters left and right. ...
Humble does not have time to mess around this week. There is no paying what you want or contributing more than the average. We are in the middle of a pandemic and there's no negotiating this time. Thirty bucks and you get a shitload of game...
PUBG is the original realistic military battle royale. While each of the major battle royale games take a slightly different approach, PUBG is the one that can most claim it's rooted in realism and survival. No abilities, no craf...

We're due a new Resident Evil in just four days (read our review, by the way!), but that hasn't stopped people from looking one game ahead. There are new rumors regarding the next Resident Evil, and they allude to a very different expe...
Jesse Faden's in, ahem, control now but she isn't bringing any much-needed stability to the Bureau. That's sort of the curse that FBC directors are burdened with: They react to crisis after crisis until everything finally goes haywire and t...
The bombshell news out of Nier's tenth anniversary celebration is the remaster/reworking of Nier Replicant on PC, PS4, and Xbox One. But, that's not the only thing Platinum and Square Enix have up their sleeves. There's also an upcomi...
[Update: It seems as though "remaster" might not be the correct term for this. Square Enix producer Yusuke Saito calls it a "version up," not necessarily a remaster nor a remake. There will be a lot added from the original version, po...
Call of Duty's crusade against even numbers might soon be coming to an end. Currently, the fresh new Warzone battle royale mode only has playlists for solo players and three-person squads. Twos and fours seem to be on their way. According t...
As everyone comes together (but stays appropriately far apart!) to help solve the ongoing COVID-19 crisis, the speedrunning community is taking steps to contribute in the only way they know how: By beating video games extremely quickly. Gam...
Your Nemesis might be a towering bio-weapon monstrosity, but the nemesis of Capcom right now is those danged technical snafus. Due to unforeseen problems, Capcom has delayed the Resident Evil Resistance open beta on PC and PS4.
Like the rest of the world, the non-playable characters in Fallout 76 have to stay inside a little while longer. The only difference is that unlike us, they've never seen the light of day. Bethesda has been forced to delay the upcoming...
