Tony Hawk might not work with Activision anymore, but that doesn't mean he's done lending his likeness to video games. Three years after the dismal THPS5, the Hawk squawks again. Next week, Tony Hawk's Skate Jam will release on iOS and...
Traditionally, Assassin's Creed and Nintendo platforms haven't really gotten along. Ubisoft brought Assassin's Creed III and Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag to Wii U, but wound down support after weak sales. To be fair, most ...
Payday publisher Starbreeze is seemingly struggling as of late. The Swedish game developer has filed for reconstruction due to a shortage of liquid assets -- capital that can be near-immediately turned into cash. As part of the reconst...

Rocket League's ELeague tournament kicked off today, and it features the top eight teams from Season 6 RLCS -- which just wrapped up a few weekends ago. ELeague is in Atlanta, which means all those European squads (and one Oceania squad) ha...
We're approaching four years since Rocksteady Studios' last major game, Batman: Arkham Knight, released. The developer has insisted that it's done with Batman, but we have very few clues as to what's next. And it seems to be about time Rock...
You've spent the past two years proving you're perfectly capable of catching them. Soon, it will be time to prove you know how to put those Pokémon to good use. You haven't just been capturing them just to put them in little sph...
I found myself thinking about Chinese Democracy a lot as I slogged through Fallout 76. Remember Chinese Democracy? It was that long-awaited Guns n' Roses album that many assumed would never actually release. Years after the heyday of G...
The hits just keep coming. Fallout 76 players have been quite vocal about their displeasure with the West Virginia Wasteland. A thin story, poor multiplayer implementation, a tedious inventory system, and bugs galore plague the latest ...
There's a new Nintendo Switch game that harbors the same power as The Ark of the Covenant: If you look at it, your face will melt off and then you'll be worm food. Taking a dirt nap. At least you'll be in a better place. Tomorrow, the creat...
There are a few reasons to tune into Geoff Keighley's annual The Game Awards show. First, the reason right there in the title, it's a celebration of some of the year's most superb video games. It's nice to see creators who excel get publicl...
There is no discernible through line connecting all of December's Games with Gold. It's a scattershot of old and new, all of it from completely different genres. Puzzle, platformer, fantasy RPG, and over-the-top shooter. I guess that means ...
One of the changes at the top of the mind for nearly every Fallout 76 player is an increase to stash size. Your personal stash is the one safe place in Fallout 76. Putting items in there means they (theoretically) won't disappear. That...
The wild west is going to be populated with a whole lot more cowpokes and cattle wranglers this week. Red Dead Online, the multiplayer component to Red Dead Redemption 2, goes into beta for everyone over the last few days of November. Howev...

It won't be long before you can get some first-hand experience with the game Media Molecule has been working on for the past six years. Although, maybe the term "creation tool" is more appropriate than "game." Media Molecule has revealed th...
Valve is never making another Half-Life game. Okay? We've all come to terms with that, right? So, here's the next best thing. In honor of Half-Life's 20th anniversary, Black Mesa developer Crowbar Collective has released the...
Possibly the most interesting thing about Fallout 76 is the way it approaches its end-game content. Players gather fragments of nuclear launch codes and work together to push the big red button. Then, a nuke heavily irradiates a secti...
There's a lot of heavy-worded pomp and circumstance in the three-minute Darksiders III introduction video. Well, until Fury gets a chance to say her piece. She'd rather just get on with the killing. Shortly thereafter, the narrator st...
A contentious and almost-universally hated constraint in Fallout 76 is the stash limit. This game that incentivizes grabbing anything that isn't bolted down will only allow you to keep a collection of items that total 400 weight. It's ...
Fallout 76 has a haunting isolation about it. There are no non-playable characters in this game. There are no dialogue choices to make. There's no right or wrong. The towns are all deserted. It's just you, your thoughts, a million mile...
Have you spent the year holding off on buying games because you know one day, soon, they will be far cheaper? If that's you: Congratulations, you made it! It's Holiday Shopping Big Sale Bonanza Season, as Black Friday is a piddly one week a...
Many of you will have to slog through the Hundred Acre Wood and all its mini-games when Kingdom Hearts III releases on January 29, 2019. For that, I am sorry. A place as magical as Winnie the Pooh's hood shouldn't be met with contempt ...
Ever since the Xbox Elite controller released in late 2015, real attention has been paid to premium gamepads. Most of the usual suspects have their own spin on an elite controller by now, like Razer with the Wolverine or Scuf with the Infi...
Underrated combustion platformer Ms. Splosion Man is unexpectedly launching on Nintendo Swich next week on November 22. The sequel to that other underrated combustion platformer finds new life more than seven years after it first relea...
