Boy howdy, we've come a very, very long way since that infamously fantastical Rainbow Six Siege demo was first previewed at E3 2014. Since then, Ubisoft's tactical shooter has certainly prospered, as a fairly blah launch has since evolved i...

"How do you even review Dreams?" It's a question I've asked, and been asked. Even now, as I try to stall so the right words might spill out of my subconscious and capture some of its playful magic, I'm grappling with possible answers. It's ...

I don't know when I put down Dead Cells, but I did, and I've been meaning to get back into it ever since. The roguelike action-platformer has seen continuous support for years now, to the point where it's easy to lose track of what's coming...

It seems like everyone is holding their breath every time a new console is announced. "Did they tell us the price?" Is it "599 US dollars?" Well we know the Xbox Series X [Scarlett] and the PlayStation 5 exist (we have their names at l...

[Update: It's live! Pokemon Home just showed up on the Nintendo Switch eShop. The app is 707MB.] Just recently we learned a little bit more about how Pokemon Home (the upcoming Switch and mobile transfer app) will operate, but it looks like...

As The Division 2 approaches its first anniversary, Ubisoft is hard at work making sure agents never get a rest. The second year of content is nearly upon us, as Ubisoft is set to formally reveal the Warlords of New York expansion tomo...

Blizzard has had a rough several years. It needs to hunker down and completely rethink its gameplan, especially after making mistake after mistake...after mistake. For some, Warcraft III: Reforged is another blunder to add to that pile...

[Update: As of today, PlayStation Plus subscribers can now download BioShock: The Collection, The Sims 4, and Firewall Zero Hour for free from the PlayStation Store. February will be a tough month to top.] Sony is throwing in a bonus PS4 ga...

I'm not going to take sole credit for this, but I will take some credit, ladies and gentlemen. For weeks now I've been pining about how the Maliwan Takedown scaling event — in which players can enter the Blacksite activity w...

[Image source] Pretty much every Zelda: Breath of the Wild player has come across Tarrey Town: a little community you can grow through some NPC errands. Did you finish building it? Because it's one of the best examples of a low key worldbui...

[Check out our previous Smash Ultimate DLC coverage: Piranha Plant, Joker, Hero, Banjo, Terry.] Look, I understand that people are mad that yet another Fire Emblem character is coming to Smash Ultimate: as...

So this is a fairly breezy PSA: there's more Smash Ultimate free DLC. But there's caveats! I'll get the big one out of the way first: you need to be a Switch Online subscriber. I get that a lot of people are probably lapsed subscribers at t...

I've seen a lot of impressive Zelda: Breath of the Wild videos in my time. Maybe all of them! But this one is definitely in the top 10. Posted by "hsjdf" on reddit, the phrase "when you were partying, I studied the [blade] pot lid" is more ...

Even if Dark Souls II didn't turn out quite the way I expected, I have a lot of love for the sequel. It's an enchanting, beautiful, ugly, gratifying, surprisingly deep, and occasionally infuriating video game, all at once. Plenty of Souls f...

In case you didn't notice, there's two distinct Batman game studios over at WB: Rocksteady, who started it all, and WB Games Montreal. The latter worked on Arkham Origins, and is expected to give us the new assumed Court of O...

Playing through Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot is very much like experiencing a re-watch of Dragon Ball Z itself. There's filler, excitement, and everything in-between. In the end, it managed to just win me over, but only because I a...

Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE was easily my favourite game on the Wii U. It felt like a playful if unorthodox celebration of two beloved IPs: Shin Megami Tensei and Fire Emblem. Sporting vibrant art direction and some of the most satisfyin...

I've often heard from people that Zelda: Breath of the Wild's world is lifeless, and I just don't agree. Maybe it's because I allowed myself to get lost in it, but I felt like I was uncovering life at every turn: and not just because of the...

Things continue to get worse for the once-mighty video game retailer GameStop. For a long time now, net sales have been dropping and net losses have been piling up. That trend snowballed during 2019's holiday season. Today, GameStop posted ...

At the close of the last decade, otherwise known as two weeks ago, the video game industry was once again in a state of flux. In fact, the industry has been in flux for most of the 2010s. From the explosion of mobile at the start of the dec...

Over the weekend, Rockstar was forced to yank Grand Theft Auto 4 off of Steam's shelves. It's not licensing issues or cease and desists -- the usual legal holdups -- that are to blame. It's that Rockstar doesn't have any more product t...

Twenty-twenty may be a defining year for the video game industry. This fall, we'll see new consoles from Sony and Microsoft arriving at a time of technological convergence. We may still have gaming devices tethered to our televisions, but a...

I'll be the first to admit I'm not much of a mouse & keyboard gamer. For starters, I've been a member of the cult of Mac since high school, going from an eMac to a Mac Mini to my current MacBook Pro. This spring, I'm trading in my curre...

Game Freak is running so many Pokemon Sword and Shield raid events that it's hard to keep track of them, and another one is on the way. Announced through this week's Nintendo Direct presentation, the latest event will bring some v...

Sega released a pair of brief but impactful Japanese TV advertisements for Yakuza: Like a Dragon, an exceedingly bonkers new RPG take on the dramatic crime syndicate series. The main attention-grabber is Ichiban Kasuga decked out in knight ...
