Over the decades, games and ideas come and go. At the end of last decade, plastic instrument music games were riding high, but these days they're all but gone. Today, hero shooters and battles royale are the hot ticket, but who knows how lo...

The digital adaptation of the current top-rated board game on BoardGameGeek Gloomhaven was announced about a year ago, and it is now available on Steam Early Access. For strategy gamers, it may seem like a no-brainer. If that many people li...

Yooka-Laylee and the Impossible Lair popped up unexpectedly a couple weeks ago, and we were able to get some hands-on time with it at E3 last week. It takes the lizard-and-bat duo from 2017's crowdfunded 3D platformer and flattens the actio...

CJ got the early take on Final Fantasy VII Remake at E3 this year, and after having played through the same section he did, I can agree with most of his observations. But this is one of those big deals so we needed to dig deeper than just t...

At one point in the hands-off gameplay demo of Dying Light 2 at E3, the Techland employee making decisions for the packed room to see on-screen turned on some pumps at a dam, draining one section of the city and flooding another. That one c...

Three writers sat in a room in the Microsoft Theater, looking at one man in a room with his wife. She wants to have dessert, so he sets the table while she goes into the other room. The man starts eating without her. Presumably, the guy to ...

Sitting down next to my temporary sister in Bethesda's booth at E3, we shake hands. He takes control of Jess while I get to handle Soph. We're the twin daughters of legendary Nazi fighter B.J. Blazkowicz, and he's raised us right. Which is ...

All right, I may have messed up. When we called dibs last month, I was dazzled by the south Asian muscle woman Amara. And while I'm still going to put her poster up in my locker and draw hearts around it in pink permanent marker, I may have...

When the original Destroy All Humans! released, it was met with a favorable (but not spectacular) reception. So it may seem like doing a quick, cheap remaster could be viable, but you have to remember: that game came out in 2005. What was f...

I'll admit it: Doom Eternal is not the kind of game I typically play. Don't get me wrong; I play first-person shooters a ton. But I'm more used to the flavor of shooters that have you ducking behind cover to catch a breath and recover some ...

Crash Team Racing: Nitro-Fueled is a substantial remake. Not only did the team at Beenox update all of the tracks from 1999's Crash Team Racing, it also added in the tracks from 2003's Crash Nitro Kart. It took those tracks, spiffed up the ...

The free-to-play cooperative action-RPG that released on other PlayStation 4 and Xbox One Dauntless is heading Nintendo's little console a smidge late. It's coming to the Switch later this year. There's a decent chance it gets cross-save, s...

In a stylish trailer during today's Nintendo Direct, we rewound through a tommy gun massacre, unbreaking a perfectly good bottle of whiskey and unmessing up some poker chips. Little else was shown, but it looked like players control a part...

It's The Witcher 3 on Nintendo Switch. The Switcher 3. (It's too easy to pass up.) This was announced this morning during the E3 Nintendo Direct. It only got a few seconds of screen time, but that's all it really needed to deliver the messa...

Crystal Dynamics' Scot Amos and Meagan Marie were up on stage talking up the virtues of the new Marvel's Avengers game. In what feels like a return to the good old days, it will have continuously releasing downloadable content, including ne...

Romancing SaGa 3 and SaGa Scarlet Grace Ambitions have been available in Japan, but as Square Enix is wont to do, it is bringing those puppies over here. Eventually. "Soon," if the presentation at E3 today is to be believed. We don't know ...

Dragon Quest Builders 2 has been out in Japan for a little while now, but we're closing in on its western release. Set for July 12, it's just over one month away. Players will be able to sate their blocky appetites a bit sooner than that, ...

Ubisoft's Brenda Panagrossi stood on stage today and announced Uplay+, a subscription service that allows access (and early access) to Ubisoft's library. For $14.99 per month, subscribers would have the ability to play the premium editions ...

At Ubisoft's E3 press conference, Community Developer Laura Cordrey briefly introduced Ghost Recon Delta Company, an official group created to aid the Ghost Recon community. Information was light, but the video above has more details. Ther...

QuakeCon is focused one Quake. How can Bethesda bring a lot of Doom stuff to QuakeCon? By setting up a miniature con-within-a-con and calling it DoomCon. That's it, that's the story, there's going to be enough Doom stuff at QuakeCon this ye...

At Bethesda's E3 event, the presenters took some time to brag on the company's mobile game offerings. Its hit Fallout Shelter has reached over 150 million downloads. The Elder Scrolls: Legends might not have those numbers yet, but it does ...

When we saw Gears Pop! at last year's E3, the only information we really had was that it would feature Gears characters in that love-it-or-hate-it Funko Pop style. This year, we've got a slightly more substantial trailer. It still is mostl...

Gears 5's presentation at E3 today opened with typical Gears thing. It had its slow, soft song and bizarre imagery that contrasts with the game's usual high energy and bloody action. After the teaser, we got some real information. Gears 5 ...

Whoa. At the E3 event just now, Tim Schafer announced his studio would be joining Xbox Game Studios. After making the announcement, Schafer showed off a new Psychonauts 2 teaser. Psychonauts 2 was crowdfunded on Fig in 2016. Presumably, th...

At its E3 event, Microsoft revealed stylish role-playing game RPG Time: The Legend of Wright. It looks like an old school notebook full of game ideas brought into an interactive papercraft world. The turn-based battles appeared to take pla...
