Pokemon Sword and Shield is just coming out of the gate, but is doing insanely well sales-wise. Game Freak is looking to keep that momentum going with regular updates, which, as we now know, includes regular raid events with extra forms. We...

We aren't getting any Elder Scrolls on Nintendo Switch this year after all. Bethesda has pushed back its plans to bring The Elder Scrolls: Blades to Switch until "early 2020" as other matters – namely, "the most extensive update" yet ...

Make way for the new generation. As 2016's Sun and Moon simmer, Sword and Shield are thriving on a brand new platform. The Switch is now the new lead for the Pokemon series, and thus some housekeeping initiatives ar...

We're finally approaching the point where we can safely say "the Final Fantasy VII Remake is out this year." Insane, right?! I mean in just 30 days and change it'll be January 1, 2020, and we'll be just several short months away from t...

Anecdotally, there was an overwhelming amount of support for Pokemon Sword over Shield during the new generational reveal, and it seems like the sales data supports that. Breaking down the Japanese sales numbers even further, Dengeki O...

I don't envy Game Freak. It's a weird statement to make because for more than 20 years, the company has been part owner of one of the most successful video game franchises on the planet. Game Freak has guided Pokémon since ...

Another iteration of Pokémon is upon us, and now it's time for everyone to get really joyous or mad while cute creatures frolic on-screen. With the exception of the second generation (which many still herald as the best to date)...

I'd be further into Pokémon Sword if only I could bring myself to leave the Wild Area. You know, maybe I'd even be done with the story by now. But, on the other hand, what's the harm in another bike ride? Just one more care-free stro...

It's nearly time for Borderlands 3's first true endgame challenge. Sure, Mayhem Modes ratchet up the difficulty and the wave-based Proving Grounds are fine enough, but Gearbox is ready to finally give players some real endgame content: Raid...

Poor Handsome Jack. First they took his life. Then they took his legacy. For their final trick, they're going to rob him of his riches. This is why you always get buried with all your valuables. Gearbox has pulled back the curtain on Border...

The Outer Worlds and Death Stranding are two games I'm very into right now, but they both contain lots of little words that can be a struggle to make out. I can't imagine what it's been like for folks playing on a responsible-human-sized TV...

A year after it first launched in Japan, Dragon Quest Builders 2 is finally getting a PC port. In July, it came to PS4 and Switch in North America and Europe. At the time, CJ gave it a hearty recommendation, but not quite the standing ...

It looks like Pokemon Sword & Shield will be running periodic free events that focus on the new raid concept, and the first one is live. Straight from the official site, it looks like from now through 'early January 2020," folks wi...

My first foray into the CRPG genre was the original Fallout. Yes, the Bethesda-era debut was called Fallout 3 for a reason, as Interplay and Black Isle Studios had been working their magic alongside of industry titans like (o...

Is it possible to play Kingdom Hearts III with little to no context or history? Yes. I've done it! My first-timer experience was a total fever dream, to the point where I'm having a hard time accepting the fact that the game came out this y...

A significant number of you want nothing to do with snow right now, but it's time to bundle up and watch a new trailer for Wasteland 3, the latest in a line of nuked-out role-playing games from inXile. Wasteland 3 is trading out Arizona's ...

A handsome guy just can't catch a break. History is told by those who win, and Handsome Jack definitely did not win. Hyperion's leader opened up some vaults and took over Pandora, only to catch a few bullets for his trouble. Okay, maybe man...

Obsidian isn't sure about the future of Pillars of Eternity. After the sequel failed to live up to the lofty expectations set by the original, Obsidian is left to believe that major structural changes are necessary if a third game is to be ...

It looks like for the first time in a long time, Game Freak isn't going to have a smooth Pokemon launch: as far as public opinion is concerned anyway. Right as Sword & Shield is about to launch, a lot of folks are getting re-r...

One of the chief elements of Pokemon Sword & Shield that has me the most excited is undoubtedly the Wild Area. Billed as an open MMO-like space, players can roam around this gigantic zone and capture Pokemon, as well as meetup and ...

In case you were holding out: hope, dashed. Speaking to Inside Gamer, Pokemon boss Junichi Masuda re-confirmed that yes, there are no plans to add the National Pokedex into Sword and Shield. Although there were some "maybes" throw...

While The Outer Worlds arrived last month on PC, PS4 and Xbox One (including a Game Pass launch), the Switch version was said to be coming "later" at some point. When later?! Well, some originally assumed that by the end of 2019 would ...

In my imagination, Deep Down was an incredible dungeon-crawling RPG from Capcom. It came out on PlayStation 4 as originally intended, we all played it, we all loved it, the public discourse shifted a few months later to suddenly deem it "ov...

My weekend with the Nioh 2 beta did not go as smoothly as I hoped it would, but I'm not giving up yet – it's not over until November 10. I don't know if I'll "get good" in time, but I'll settle for adequacy. If you're struggling to su...

Square Enix is giving Dragon Quest Builders 2 fence-sitters a chance to play the game for a matter of "hours" with a new Jumbo Demo that's out on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, and Steam. The demo doesn't just span the introductory Isle of...
