E3 2018 has been over a week now and that has given us ample time to recuperate, organize our thoughts, and reflect. We saw a lot of great games at the biggest video game convention of the year. We named 10 of those as nominees for Destruct...

SNK have finally revealed a Japanese release date and retail price for their cutesy arcade unit, the Neo Geo Mini, which will be arriving on store shelves in surprisingly short order.Speaking in a press statement on their official website, ...

Along with an eye-catching trailer to tease the Cursed Sails and Forsaken Shores content updates for Sea of Thieves (due in July and September, respectively), Rare took E3 as an opportunity to field questions from the game's community. The ...

E3 came and went, and in the grand scheme of things I wouldn't say it was a smash hit. We saw a few bangers for sure but many of the actual conferences were too safe with very little in the way of surprises or heavy-hitters -- to the point ...

Although the recently revealed footage from Resident Evil 2 - appearing with frequency since last week's E3 - has been getting the Resi community in a tizzy, Capcom unfortunately have some bum news for Switch fans.Speaking with Gaming Bolt,...

I'm in a real weird place with Dying Light. I had always intended to get Techland's parkour zombie survival game out of my backlog at some point, but its lackluster story has kept it permanently frozen on my to-play list. Now that I've come...

Metal Wolf Chaos exists as a weird little anomaly of pop culture. It has become a video game cult classic of sorts, and the vast majority of its admirers have never had the chance to play it. How many other cult classics -- across all ...

"We weren't really satisfied with Hard West's depth; it always felt rushed. So this time around, we were constantly afraid of making a game that felt too shallow. Sometimes, I think we overdid it." Kacper Szymczak finishes his statement wit...

My first experience with the niche phenomenon that is Touhou was not a pleasant one. Touhou: Scarlet Curiosity killed any curiosity I had in the franchise with its bland presentation, poor combat, and forgettable storyline. I real...

If there is a common theme throughout game coverage at E3, it's that most titles simply don't give people enough time to fully feel out the experience. Some do, Capcom had it perfect with its Mega Man 11 and Resident Evil 2 demos,...

“This game will not go easy on you.” That was my warning moments before starting up the E3 demo for Mutant Year Zero: Road to Eden. When Brett booked this appointment for me, my mind read it as Mutant Football League so, g...

Dad switched from beer to whiskey immediately after breakfast. Things aren't going great. It's never explicitly stated, but there seems to be a dead mother in the mix. Dad's spirits aren't high, they're in the tumbler. Drain and flood, aga...

Avalanche Studios' Just Cause games are chaos incarnate. The open-world action series packs more explosions and high-speed stunts in a single hour than most titles manage during their entire runtime. Rico Rodriguez always felt more like a h...

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 ...

A few minutes before I played my first match of Gearbox Software's Project 1v1, I was informed that Randy Pitchford refers to the game as "gladiatorial." Pitchford's ability to describe his studio's games with over-complicated, hyperbolic m...

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...

After a hands-on demo with 10 Chambers Collective's GTFO, I'm not sure how anyone could expect to complete a level on their first try. The four-player cooperative shooter is punishing; its twisted, deformed enemies charge at you in packs, a...

My appointment with Sega and Atlus at E3 probably could have gone a lot better. Nothing was really planned for me, and as such, my handlers for the session didn’t have everything in place for me to try out their games properly. There ...

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...

After a literal two-month buildup to E3, the Show of Shows is finally in our rearview mirror. Was it good? I'm still not sure. But, if we zoom out a bit to years past, how often is E3 an unquestionable rousing success? Our expectations ofte...

Overcooked has been nothing short of a rousing success on Nintendo Switch. It had a rough launch, but with updates and improvements, it’s become a stand-out seller on the system, with Nintendo going so far as to mention the title by n...

A non-negligible percentage of the hardcore Rocket League community are obsessed over cosmetic item drops. They're the players who collect certified and painted variants of free items. They're the players who spend $1 to open every cra...

The latest issue of V-Jump has revealed the release date for Bandai Namco's ballistic brawler Dragon Ball FighterZ on Nintendo Switch, at least in Japan.Originally revealed during last week's E3 event, the popular fighting title will arrive...

"Man, Final Fantasy VII, that game rocked!" is a phrase I hear often from people who no longer touch video games. It was far from the best in the series but it's a cultural touchstone, and one I like breaking down all these years later. It ...

A ton of people are playing Forza. There was a 30 percent increase in players across the whole series last year, as 22 million people fired up one of the 10 currently-available games. More than 9 million people have played Forza Horizon 3, ...
