It's a lot easier to find amazing fan creations from a series like Zelda. It's withstood the test of time, garnered fans from multiple decades, and has permeated pop culture to the point where a lot of people will at least recognize Link, t...

As I've opined many times these past few weeks, it's hard to believe that the World of Warcraft character I started (an Orc Shaman) over a decade ago is still alive and well within the data centers of Blizzard. I've played through ever...

In case you missed it, Bethesda and id Software showed off the debut footage of Doom Eternal on stage during QuakeCon 2018's keynote. It was a massive presentation that lasted nearly half an hour -- and given that it was in the middle of th...

Re-releases of retro games can be super finicky, especially depending on the platform and who is handling them. Technology that existed back then (think CRT monitors, legacy graphics processors like the Super FX chip) might not run as smoot...

Anyone who listened to pop music (I wouldn't really call it rap) in the early 2000s might recognize the name Bow Wow...

Destiny 2 just kicked off one of its biggest grinds in the series -- the Solstice of Heroes. I'll my best to break it down below (you can also just scan and subsequently close this spreadsheet from Reddit user Guyovich67), but suffice to sa...

Game Informer recently got to chat with Blizzard about their newfound partnership about Nintendo, and a lot of "what if" sessions proceeded to fly across the table. When asked about which character should represent Blizzard first if they we...

Sony really knocked it out of the park with God of War, and part of the reason why I was so enamored with it initially is its tone-setting first boss fight. After an emotional moment of mourning and character development we're immediately r...

I'm so glad that the the Jackbox series is still alive and well. Having spent many nights curled up around a PC with friends and family, or even by myself with the "You Don't Know Jack" series, seeing it spread its wings beyond the quiz sho...

Far Cry 5 kicked off its wacky globe and time-trotting Season Pass with Vietnam, then traveled to Mars, and now it's grounding itself back on Earth...sorta...with zombies. The third part of the season pass (which may or may not be the end o...

Blizzard is certainly giddy about the Switch all of a sudden. While they've mostly ignored it or downplayed whether or not certain games would work on it (I think a port of a game from 2012 and Hearthstone, a touch-based card project, would...

Little Nightmares came out of nowhere for me but immediately captured my attention. It makes perfect sense that Tarsier Studios, who worked on DLC and the Vita port for LittleBigPlanet, created it, as its aesthetic drew me in. It drew ...

It's an indie kind of week for Nintendo systems, and the Switch is getting all of the love today. On the Switch eShop you'll find Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes, The Walking Dead: The Final Season Episode One, NeoGeo Metal Slug 4, Al...

So Spider-Man PS4 is nearly here, and Sony is also present to remind us that it's kind of a big deal. In addition to some rapid-fire gameplay and plenty of E3 demo impressions, they've also remodeled a train in New York City. Several Twitte...

If you gave up Diablo III years ago because of the Real Money Auction House and a lack of endgame content, it's probably a good time to get back into it: or not, just wait on the Switch version. Yep, Blizzard has confirmed that Diablo III i...

We live in a globalized society of anime game adaptations. It's inevitable -- if there's a popular anime it's getting a game, possibly multiple, even after the show is long gone. While some are better than others, I'm surprised it's ta...

After a series of delays, "Coming soons," and "Square Enix Time" exclamations, the fabled Final Fantasy XIV Companion app is here. Coupled with a cute Allagan-Tomestone-as-an-iPhone marketing push it's actually pretty functional, and s...

King started off as a lowly browser game provider before it catapulted into stardom as a result of Candy Crush, roughly nine years after it started out. It's pretty much synonymous with the company now, especially after they were bought by ...

The time has come for Monster Hunter Generations to spread its wings off of the 3DS and out of Japan. Those two things are mighty specific, but Japan has been sitting on the Switch version of Generations -- an HD port as it were -- for roug...

If I was a soldier during an ancient era where they used the "wooden figures on a drawn out map to show our battle plan" concept I'd definitely sneak in and play with them like toys from time to time. I love miniatures, which explains why I...

Life changes quickly, and for the most part, I've embraced it. Being a kid is great but getting older and wiser has been an incredible experience: I can synthesize this feeling down to staying up all night eating ice cream and playing video...

TimeSplitters is back from the dead. Back in 2000 Free Radical Design created something special on PS2 -- a silly shooter involving a time travel conceit. But it wasn't just the out-there concept and outlandish designs that kept it timeless...

Team Cherry is gearing up to close the book on Hollow Knight with a free DLC: and that's still happening, just slightly differently. The developer notes that the name has changed to something "100 times cooler," mainly due to avoid conflict...

Despite troubles at Codemasters, the OnRush team is still trucking with updates for the game, which includes the addition of ranked play and a "Summer Slam" event. The former will drop on August 13, and the latter hits August 27, which...

World of Warcraft might not have the same cultural cache it once had in an era filled with multi-million player free-to-play MMOs, but at this point it's most definitely an institution. The fact is, Blizzard has maintained the project for n...

The hits keep coming from Sega CCO Toshihiro Nagoshi, who opened up to Edge Magazine about several major moments in Sega history. In this instance he shares some inside info on the Yakuza series: it was actually pitched to Microsoft and Nin...
