I'm bummed I couldn't clear enough room in my schedule to play Dreams at E3 this year, but realistically, that's for the best. Media Molecule's creation game isn't something I want to rush through knowing there's someone else waiting just o...

At a glance, Serious Sam 4 might look like an open-world game. It isn't! It just has some really, really big levels. And with Croteam's new engine tech, the studio can fill said levels with an absurd amount of enemies. Tens of thousands of ...

I always like the idea of getting deep into fighting games, but my interest tends to wax and wane. Sometimes, I'll have delusions of grandeur, and get all fired up thinking I can stick with a single game for long enough to become competitiv...

Things can quickly go to shit in Overkill's The Walking Dead. I came into my E3 demo expecting as much, but I didn't know what form the cooperative first-person shooter would take, structurally. I got to play two missions: one was offense o...

For all the budget-conscious players out there, Sony is rolling out its first wave of PlayStation Hits starting next Thursday, June 28. You'll be able to pick up popular games like Bloodborne, Uncharted 4, Doom, and Yakuza 0 for $20 -- just...

From Software showed off two new games at E3 this year. One of them was Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, a grappling-hook samurai action-adventure title I'm absurdly jealous Brett ended up seeing because his schedule worked out that way. The othe...

At E3, I finally learned what Transference is (aside from being a VR project with Elijah Wood's involvement). It's a first-person adventure game with a psychological thriller tinge that has you inhabiting a family trapped in a corrupted dig...

Time will tell if The Division 2 adequately builds on where the last game left off or if it'll come out of the gate a little less refined than fans would hope. The loot-collecting open-world game shifts the fight against bullet-resistant...

It's been several years now since Trials Fusion and that means it's getting to be about time for another installment. While Fusion had the right mechanical foundation, I thought it fell short with its futuristic theme and misplaced emphasis...

Between Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, Nioh 2, and Ghost of Tsushima, E3 2018 had a lot for samurai action game fans to obsess over. Building on the Tsushima gameplay demo shown at Sony's press conference, Sucker Punch Productions offered a beh...

Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed was a celebration of all things Sega -- and it was an amazing arcade racer in its own right. Matter of fact, I think it's up there with Mario Kart 8. The next racing game from Sega, Team Sonic Racing...

Zipping around in Spider-Man (PS4) for the first time at E3 brings back memories of Batman: Arkham Asylum, and I mean that in all the best ways. Rocksteady raised our collective expectations for superhero games in 2009; Insomniac is on trac...

I love it when developers can succinctly describe their game and capture its tone in an original way. Ninjala, a newly-announced Nintendo Switch title from GungHo Online Entertainment, belongs to the "ninja gum action" genre. Trust me, it m...

Bungie's showcase of Gambit, the upcoming PvPvE mode for Destiny 2, did what it needed to at E3: it convinced me that I'm still capable of getting back into this game -- and this is the mode to pull me in. Not new storylines or loot grinds ...

If there was one game I definitely, for sure expected to hear more about from Nintendo at E3 2018, it was Good-Feel's not-yet-fully-titled Yoshi game for Nintendo Switch. The miniature-diorama platformer is a no-show this week and, more to ...

During this morning's Nintendo Direct presentation, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate designer Masahiro Sakurai ran through some of the changes the returning cast will see. The list never ends! Mario: Cappy's here! And Mario can wear his Wedding ...

Overcooked is one of the best co-op games in recent years and it delights me to know that we're getting a sequel so soon. Overcooked 2 is coming on August 7, 2018 to Nintendo Switch. There's baking, there's broiling, there's barbecuing, and...

Monolith Soft isn't done with Xenoblade Chronicles 2 yet. The studio showed off some DLC, Torna: The Golden Country, during this morning's Nintendo Direct presentation. It's set for release in September.

[Update: The Kingdom Hearts All-in-One Package is available for pre-order on PlayStation Network. For $100, it includes: Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 + 2.5 Remix (instant access), Kingdom Hearts HD 2.8 Final Chapter Prologue (instant access), King...

Fans demanded it and Sony Santa Monica aims to please. As announced during the intermission at Sony's highly unusual E3 2018 press conference, God of War is getting New Game Plus mode. "It's going to happen," said president and CEO of Sony ...

[Update: English-language footage added.] Our first good look at Assassin's Creed Odyssey has come a little earlier than intended thanks to regional YouTube channels getting their wires crossed. Ubisoft's presser is still going on, but hey...

Ubisoft's space opera prequel, Beyond Good and Evil 2, is slowly but surely materializing. The company debuted a new cinematic in which the action-adventure RPG's core cast of space pirates comes face to face with "their nemesis, a ferocio...

Microsoft had a fairly stacked E3 press conference with reveals for Devil May Cry 5 and From Software's badass Tenchu-looking action game Sekiro. I'm dying to dig into both! But there's another game that's flying slightly more under the rad...

As teased during Square Enix's E3 2018 showcase, Final Fantasy XIV is planning a crossover event with Monster Hunter: World. The flying wyvern Rathalos is coming this summer. Go for the tail!

During its E3 2018 press conference, Bethesda announced The Elder Scrolls: Blades, a "massive" new first-person RPG built for mobile and playable in landscape or portrait mode. Bethesda's Todd Howard described it as the team wanting "an exp...
