Most of our contests revolve around bigger titles -- or at least, ones by development teams with at least a couple titles under their belts who know their way around the industry, even if only a little. But for this one, it's going to be a ...

I really miss the days of the side-scrolling run-and-gun shooter. It's such a fun and cathartic genre, and I'm shocked that not every game allows you to run around like a lunatic blasting fools left and right. Let's give out a nice, chaotic...

Look, sports fans, I know we don't cover a ton of sports games around these parts. As a lifelong sports gamer, I know it can be frustrating to come to the site and see so many weird games from Japan getting headlines instead of some good ol...

Monster Hunter: World has proven mighty popular on Steam. It's one of the most-played games on the platform right now, with hundreds of thousands of concurrent players hunting the good hunt. That said, the PC port is not without growing pai...

To an extent, I can kinda forgive Ubisoft's Ivory Tower team for not including these two States...

The first-person dungeon crawler transformed for me once I was introduced to Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey on the Nintendo DS. Before SMT, my experience was with ruthlessly difficult titles such as Might and Magic and Wizardry, which ...

The brawl is back on. Sega released a patch for Yakuza 0 on PC that fixes crashes during cutscenes, gameplay, a fight in Chapter 10, and while rematching an opponent in the Pocket Circuit mini-game. If these notes sound strangely familiar, ...

Slam Land, the wacky sports game where you can literally grab your friends and dunk them for your own sick amusement, is out today on Switch, PS4, and Steam. To celebrate, developer Bread Machine Games has given us five copies for each plat...

I wanted to start this piece with lede touching on how Chris Avellone is a titan of western game development, a man who has put out hit after hit to resounding success and acclaim. As I wrote that droning introduction I realized it was all ...

It's the last day of QuakeCon and with it, your last chance to pick up associated sale from various retailers across the web. While the QuakeCon sale is front and center on Steam Store, most of the deals are significantly better elsewhere a...

Killer Queen is one of the best times you can have at an arcade, but right now it's pretty hard to find a game. It's a lot tougher to distribute arcade machines around the country than it used to be, so you've probably never had the opportu...

Certain genres are perfect for mindless time-killing as you cleanse your pallet between deeper games. They don't have to be perfect -- they just have to be functional, and moreover, fun. You have expectations going in, adjust accordingly, a...

Earlier this year, I posted a short list of 3DS games we could look forward to for 2018 as support for the handheld winds down. The list was written before the confirmation of titles such as Luigi's Mansion, WarioWare Gold, and Yo-Kai Watch...

It's been a quiet Summer in terms of releases but this week we're seeing a bit of a ramp up. The biggest title would decisively be Capcom's PC port of Monster Hunter: World - released just yesterday on August 9. The game thus far has w...

I'm sure many are jumping into Monster Hunter: World on PC with a controller in hand, as it seems like the natural things to do. But as I said in my PC Port Report, I honestly prefer using a keyboard and mouse with a few modifications....

I may have bounced off Let it Die when the going got tough, but I do love the game's skateboarding grim reaper Uncle Death and hope he sticks around. In a short but sweet announcement picked up by GameSpot, GungHo Online Entertainment annou...

It seems like only last week we were bemoaning the lack of news on a PC port of Capcom's 2018 masterpiece, Monster Hunter: World. But now, that PC release is finally upon us, and ready to pull in even more converts and, conveniently, even m...

Monster Hunter: World's PC port hasn't even been out a full day and it is already breaking records. While Capcom hasn't officially unveiled sales figures for the series' PC debut, a cursory look at Steamcharts.com reveals a concurrent playe...

While I wouldn't necessarily recommend buying the PvPvE shooter Hunt: Showdown while it's still in Steam Early Access, I would absolutely encourage you to try it out during Crytek's free weekend. It's a tense, horror-tinged game about trac...

If you're anything like me, you like both blobs and cats. You also like free games because you're extremely cheap, but devilishly handsome. So let's smash all that together and give away 10 copies of BlobCat! The fine felines over at BySamb...

While I love the idea of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds, the trickle feed of game updates has been really tough. Instead of focusing on improving game stability or locking down on cheaters, PUBG Corp has seemingly been putting its efforts to...

Just last month, it seemed as if Monster Hunter: World's PC version would launch without any sort of mod support. Capcom's official company line was "We don't have anything to announce at this time." Two days ahead of release, that's up in ...

It has felt like an eternity, but Monster Hunter: World has finally made it to PC! The near-seven month wait led many to hope that this wouldn't be some no-effort port, but that Capcom was taking its time and making it "worth the wait....
