Oh hey, Nintendo sent over the fabled Mario cereal box amiibo (and a wooden spoon/red bowl), filled with gelatin-riddled mushrooms and crunchies. Wait, a cereal and an amiibo? Yeah, it's a two-in-one type of deal, with a tiny interacti...

Can you every truly have enough character skins in Overwatch? Heck no! Blizzard has spoken more about Overwatch League skins today and how players will be able to acquire them. According to commissioner Nate Nanzer, in early 2018, "the home...

If you were to ask me, I'd say that the thing that distinguishes the Destiny series is the raids. I can get my shooty-RPG fix with Borderlands or Mass Effect, but no other game in the genre has done what Destiny has as far as raid content g...

The Runaway Kid is still on the run in the second DLC chapter for Tarsier Studios' Little Nightmares, and who can blame 'em? There are some spine-chilling creeps aboard The Maw. This latest side-story, "The Hideaway," is set in the vessel's...

Cook & Becker is back with more Dark Souls prints, this time drawing from Dark Souls III. There are 17 giclee prints in total, ranging from the chilly Irithyll of the Boreal to the desolate Kiln of the First Flame to the towering High W...

When touring Blizzard's headquarters for the first time, I came across several giant statues that adorned the halls that showcased a few of their most iconic characters, including Tracer, which they were immensely proud of given that she wa...

In most titles, booting up a base game with DLC installed would instantly queue up a sort of "radio signal," or otherwise easily identifiable marker that says "this way to the DLC." That's not the case for Horizon Zero Dawn: The Frozen...

[Update: Come to find out, I actually was part of the diorama, the database just didn't catch it. My Blood Elf Demon Hunter made it in, and a Blizzard employee handed the figure to me after the closing ceremonies for a closer look.&nbs...

Every year Blizzard's stable of characters grows a bit. I mean we've had over 10 characters alone in Heroes of the Storm, several in Overwatch, multiple Hearthstone expansions with unique cards, Diablo III's Necromancer, a few Starcraf...

To go along with its upcoming Blizzard World map for Overwatch, Blizzard is also preparing a line of character skins that pay tribute to its legacy. I thought the map was a clever-enough idea, and I think it looks fine, but this... it's har...

Another healer! As announced at BlizzCon, Overwatch's next hero will be Moira, a support. "In case you're wondering how to spell Moira, it's spelled 'OP AF,'" joked game director Jeff Kaplan, who added that she was once a part of Blackwatc...

I have the good fortune of being able to cover console launches before, during, and after their release, which gives me plenty of time to study trends. Seeing Microsoft riding high off of the Xbox 360, clawing at Sony after their big Xbox v...

It's the day before BlizzCon, and all through Anaheim...there's pin trading. Yep, this year after visiting registration you'll be grabbing the customary "goody bag," which includes a backpack filled with blind-box items this year. As you mi...

Capcom is lining up two Resident Evil 7 add-ons for December and I cannot wait. Both of them take place after the main story. Not a Hero will send players after Lucas Baker, so expect plenty of traps and taunting. It'll also let us punch th...

Two years ago, South Park introduced many of its watchers to yaoi. It's a Japanese genre of anime/manga that fictionalizes a romantic relationship between males. Boys' love, basically. In Season 19 Episode 6, the Asian girls at school ...

I'm not sure how many people stuck with Steep, but those folks must exist. Ubisoft's doing an expansion, Road to the Olympics, later this year. It'll have a separate story mode centered on a hopeful young athlete training "to reach the Olym...

Nintendo has been prepping another free stage for Splatoon 2 and the wait is almost over. The latest multiplayer map, Snapper Canal, is set to debut tomorrow, October 6 at 7:00am Pacific. "Try not to blindly rush in – it's easy to fa...

I'm a big fan of cosplay. I'd take part myself if I was younger, better-looking, more-talented, creative, more proactive... umm... anyway, I get a real kick out of cosplayers and their great outfits. I really enjoy the public performance as...

I hope SNES Classic day is treating you well, especially those of you who had to wake up early to even stand a chance of finding a spot in line at a brick-and-mortar store. These systems come with two controllers, thank goodness, but simila...

Shadow has found his way into Sonic Forces. Sega is planning an Episode Shadow add-on that'll deal with his "mysterious backstory" with the new villain, Infinite, and include three Shadow-centric stages (and the ability to play as him in "o...

One of Destiny's strengths is its ability to highlight and modify certain activities so playing the same content for the umpteenth time isn't quite as stale as one might expect. Destiny 2 is looking no different in that regard, and Bungie h...

Another digital card game is entering the fray. Wizards of the Coast has unveiled Magic: The Gathering Arena, a free-to-play title in production at the company's in-house Digital Games Studio. Sign-ups are open for a closed beta, and while ...
