Short and sweet. That was Bethesda's 2017 E3 press conference. A tight 40 minutes. A few reveals, most of them big enough to warrant an event like this. Most importantly, not a bunch of fat that could've been trimmed. Those 40 minutes resul...

Scorpio, like most code names, was too good to live forever. We have the Xbox One X now, a name that savvy internet users immediately noted can be abbreviated to "Xbox." Also, X is the roman numeral for 10, and Microsoft is pretty big on th...

Whenever an issue arises I feel the need to keep people updated on the state of amiibo, but this particular tidbit involves pretty much everyone that uses Amazon Prime to order gaming related paraphernalia. According to Amazon's update...

If you are among the tens of millions of Amazon Prime subscribers, you also have something called Twitch Prime. For the purposes of this post, all you need to know about the latter is that it means you get an amazing game, for free. From Ap...

Still need a Nintendo Switch? Have an Amazon Prime membership? Don't want the neon abomination? Prime members can order a Switch with gray Joy-Con for a not-gouged $300, though they won't be in stock until April 2 -- April 4, just in the ti...

The single greatest video game surprise of last year may have been Hitman. Sometime in 2015, Square Enix suddenly announced that the new Hitman would be episodic and all pre-orders were refunded. It was a strange reversal, one that felt lik...

Streaming platform Twitch is getting into video game sales. It's a smart move, one that makes a whole lot of sense given the company's owner, Amazon, and one I'll be curious to see shake out. "Viewers have always used Twitch as a way to 'de...

[Update: Just a bump before we close the contest tomorrow. Get your entries in now if you want a shot at winning! Also, if you're curious how Halo Wars 2 turned out, go give our review a read.] Look, we simply have too many copies...

Amazon's intent to prove that its move into game development is a serious one. At last September's TwitchCon, the first three titles under the Amazon Games Studios banner were revealed. Now, it's adding to its pedigree by bringing on one of...

Cartoons have been in an upswing in the last five years or so, and that's largely thanks to Frederator Studios. The company's Cartoon Hangover experiment on YouTube resulted in the fabulous Bee and Puppycat and Bravest Warriors, and that's ...

Now that the dust has settled on last year's holiday releases and we're comfortably into 2017, it's safe to look back wistfully at everything you might have missed. There were a lot of big titles that launched in the September through Decem...

Finally, after close to two years of speculation, we know all the big details about the Nintendo NX Switch. We know how it works, we know its launch lineup, we know its release date, and we know its price. It has been a long road, but ...

Retailers across the nation will be holding promos for the slim system that include a bonus "gift" with the purchase. A few stores are also throwing in a $50 gift card along with the console, so that sure is fun! Sadly, the console price is...

Battlefield 1 is, without a doubt, one of the best games of the 2016. The campaign that's structured as five television episode-size vignettes works surprisingly well. The style of it all goes a long way toward effectively portraying t...

One of 2016's latest releases is getting a deep discount right before the year's over. Final Fantasy XV launched only three weeks ago, but it's already $25 off. Square Enix's ten-years-in-the-making Final Fantasy XV is the subject...

Long ago, back when I was just a timid and naive elementary school student, my best friend and I used to pass the time in class designing levels. We both loved video games growing up. He introduced me to Final Fantasy and a few years before...

(Update: Well, this is kind of awkward. Most of Amazon's Black Friday video game deals were available on Thanksgiving. There wasn't a whole lot that got added outside of the $99 black and white 3DSes that won't reliably stay in stock f...

It's far from the most affordable deal this year, but it serves a certain niche. Anyone who's looking to both buy a new PC and get into virtual reality might want to pay attention to this one. Amazon is selling an Oculus Rift and a VR-...

That'll teach me to post things as quickly as I can. Amazon is apparently an equal opportunity retailer in that the hella good PS4 Slim bundle for $250 is reciprocated with a hella good Xbox One S bundle for $250. This deal has a white Xbox...

Amazon's first Lightning Deal on Thanksgiving might be one of the better PlayStation 4 sales we'll see this season. The catch is that it's going to sell out extremely quickly. The bundle is a newly-released PS4 Slim (retails for $300) with ...

The certainty behind video games on Black Friday (and the lead-up to it) is that it'll be the year's biggest titles that are on sale. It's expected that the likes of Titanfall, Battlefield, and Gears of War will all be discounted, usua...

As is tradition, everything gets a bit cheaper this week. And, as is becoming more of a tradition lately, it's a bit cheaper a bit earlier. Waiting is for the suckers. Amazon's first (but surely not last) good day of sales is today and it f...

Edit: Apparently, this deal also extends to the 3DS version of Mario Maker, Pokémon Sun and Moon, as well as the recent Paper Mario: Color Splash. The article originally stated that the discount stacks w...

Whether you go Pokémon Sun or Moon for tomorrow's release, at least get a 20% discount versus forking over the full list price. Two retailers have price breaks available: Toys"R"Us and Amazon (who is price-matching TRU). This saves y...

Black Friday continues to start earlier and earlier online despite all the ruckus about closing retail stores on Thanksgiving. A prime example arrived in the past 24 hours thanks to an aggressive Walmart early Black Friday kick off (which A...
