I'm sufficiently sold on the SNES Classic, both because I have an inherent love of the console (it's my all-time favorite) and because Nintendo did a surprisingly good job with its software picks. Actually getting one, though? I'm expecting...   read

Image & Form announced SteamWorld Dig 2 as a Nintendo Switch title, but that's not the only place you'll be able to play the mining platform adventure this year. It's headed to PS4 and Steam, too. "We plan to have SWD2 out on all within...   read

I've been playing PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds nonstop for the last week. I even got my first Chicken Dinner because someone blew got killed by their own grenade! I'm hooked. The game's not perfect, though. Anyone who's played (or watched)...   read

While the PC gaming world is focused on Steam's 2017 Summer Sale, it may be easy to miss what's going on at other digital retailers. Earlier today, GamersGate ramped up the savings on Ubisoft titles in its own Summer Sale. We're seeing hist...   read

Coming off of E3 this year, I started to notice something. Every time I logged on to Steam or PSN somebody I knew was playing Wolfenstein: The New Order. Every single time. Who could blame them? After all, Bethesda had just shown off the Na...   read

While Bungie isn't just yet revealing all of the juicy details on what returning Destiny players will get in Destiny 2, they have gone ahead and shown off some of the emblems you can unlock. I know everyone was just clamoring at the bit for...   read

Tranformers: The Last Knight is, well, a mess. Poor writing, poor pacing, poor Marky Mark, and is basically par for the course for the Transformers series. Yet, these things still make a ton of money. You might be wondering why folks are st...   read

After a somewhat tepid launch three years ago, every game pack, update, and expansion released for The Sims 4 has had to find some way to make the barren base game feel as expansive as the many, many Sims games that came before. The Sims 4:...   read

Sometimes, myths and legends have a chance to be reborn. Stories evolve and change over the years, warping and twisting with each new retelling. The same can be said for Funcom's Secret World Legends, with its official launch today. Secret ...   read

Today's announcement of the SNES Classic came attached with the obvious joke of "But no one will be able to get one." It's low-hanging fruit admittedly, but it's also deserved. Even Nintendo acknowledged that the NES Classic's production re...   read

Combing through nostalgic culture has become the norm, and unfortunately, so have the middling resulting projects. Audiences have, sadly, come to expect reboots to suffer as studios struggle to re-capture what made something popular in the ...   read

Microsoft Studios "couldn't be happier with the level of exposure that [Phantom Dust] has received." Since the Xbox One and Windows 10 re-release launched on May 16, it has garnered over one million players. For a revival of a niche origina...   read

E3 is over, and now it's time for a relatively quiet July. I mean there's a few big games coming out like the Final Fantasy XII remake, and uh...wait. Splatoon 2! How could I forget. Nintendo is gearing up for one of their most massive...   read

Fans, scalpers, gamers, scalpers, and most importantly, scalpers, cried out in joy this morning after it was announced a company that can’t produce enough units of its best-selling home console will be releasing a new, must-have item ...   read

Game sizes are insane now. Remember when "40GB games" wasn't commonplace? Well now nearly every AAA game is 40GB, and that's before patches -- many titles end up clocking in at around 100GB after patches and DLC (Halo 4 comes to m...   read

Final Fantasy XV's Adam West Batman-era ass vehicle is getting a mechanical makeover today, as Square Enix has added in the ability to go off-roading with it. I hope you have 8.6 GB to spare on PS4 (on Xbox it's almost 11GB)! As for the upg...   read

The Danganronpa series has such an expansive narrative, it's spread itself across multiple games, anime, and short stories. By its very nature of spreading itself out so thin, some of the side projects just aren't going to mean as much in t...   read

Well, it's really happening. If the NES Classic didn't appeal to you, then this one surely will draw you in. Nintendo confirmed on Twitter that a Super Nintendo Classic Edition (which means it'll be HDMI ready like its predecessor) is on th...   read

The Game Boy Advance SP is a masterpiece of a system. While the Game Gear had the backlight years before it, this was the first time I was able to play a Game Boy without attaching a gross worm light accessory to it, and man, did the G...   read

Uncovering old Mega Man trivia is one of my favorite pastimes. There was once an era where Capcom was immensely proud of the series, showing it off at every turn at tradeshows and myriad magazine spreads. I'll never forget sending in m...   read

These quizzes contain fewer words than your average video game review, but they are just as hard to write, if not harder, and this one is not exception. I spent hours trying to generate an algorithm that would guide readers to the questions...   read

My biggest complaint about Arms was a lack of things to do, and Nintendo seems to be rectifying that, albeit slightly, with its first patch. Update 1.1.0 adds in LAN play on top of "arena" mode, which is basically like a spectator-enabled g...   read

It's starting to get difficult to keep track of every iteration in the Nintendo 3DS console line up. First, there was the original 3DS console from 2011. Then came the 3DS XL in 2012, which simply provided users with a larger variant of Nin...   read
