As soon as I stumbled across this Legend of Zelda artwork from artist John Su, a host of emotions rushed over me. First my eyes were immediately drawn to the Breath of the Wild versions of Link and Zelda, as those are the centerpiece, ...

The announcement of Donkey Kong Country Returns was a huge moment for me. It was one of my first E3s, and I was there at the Nintendo conference when the crowd went wild over it. Having been dormant for many years in terms of "main" games (...

CD Projekt Red came out of the gate swinging with its Witcher III Switch port. Not only did they tell us who was working on it with them upfront (Saber Interactive), but they also revealed that the entire game (plus DLC) would fit on o...

For the times that you are so confused that it gives you a headache - Psyduck Bewildered After years of sitting on the sidelines as "Misty's sidekick," Psyduck is getting the credit it deserves. In addition to a fairly big role in the recen...

In this issue of "I can't believe it's in Zelda," folks are coming to terms with the fact that Outset Island has been re-created in Zelda: Breath of the Wild. What's old is new again on multiple tiers, as Breath of the Wild is over two...

Demakes are great! Not only do they end up becoming fun projects in their own right when they're occasionally made playable, but they also serve as a reminder of where we came from. A Hideo Kojima games are rife for this sort of treatment. ...

Zelda: Breath of the Wild's physics system is painstakingly created, to the point where players can bend it to their will with all sorts of experiments that simply would not be possible in most open world games. Folks have created flying ma...

Twitter user eu_rasi_a_3678 managed to popularize yet another Zelda: Breath of the Wild glitch: a full view of the game's underwater ecosystem, which can generally only be seen through a drab lens of blue. Although eu_rasi_a_3678 ...

Without further comment, I present Darren's wardrobe choices for every day of E3 in chronological order:

Luigi's Mansion games are not really known for being scary. Sure, they may have a few jump scares scattered throughout their haunted halls, but Resident Evil they ain't. If anything, the series is what you'd get if you could "play...

Keanu Reeves: you are John Wick. You're also the best thing about E3 this year. It's been a tepid E3 so far. I'm not saying that, you are, readers. Let's Pokemon go to the polls! Microsoft is "winning" so far by a wide margin, wit...

One of the very best moments of yesterday's E3 opening was the sudden surprise appearance of John Wick actor Keanu Reeves, who took to the stage during Microsoft's press conference to talk about CD Projekt Red's awesome-looking Cyberpunk 20...

Sometimes, Final Fantasy XIV's in-game cosmetic (glamour/transmog) system really blows me away. There are millions of costume combinations at this point, and myriad Final Fantasy and Square Enix references at large. If you wanted to try to ...

Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn truly was a miracle. Born out of the ashes of the troubled 2010 1.0 edition, Square Enix basically embarked upon an apology tour and remade the game from the ground-up: even killing the previous blunde...

People often disparagingly ask me why I play MMOs. After I reply that they're cathartic for certain people, I usually wax poetic on all of the unique human moments that only the MMO genre can facilitate. Reddit user unstablereality had...

Folks are still doing amazingly silly things in Zelda: Breath of the Wild, and this hapless event from Riyazura proves it. After all, over 40% of our readers who took our Breath of the Wild poll still play it regularly, and 34% go...

Nintendo has said outright that they do not plan on announcing a new Switch model at E3 this year. That includes a potential Switch lite (which is just portable, that would assuredly kill off the 3DS entirely) or a Switch Pro (a Switch with...

We're in an age of choices. It's hard to think back to when there were just a few giants battling it out (Sega and Nintendo, or Sony and Nintendo), but there are so many platforms and controller options now (like VR) that it can get overwhe...

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild was released on March 3, 2017, and I can still remember nearly every video I've seen of it. The first one I ever witnessed was a bear running through the woods on fire, wrecking a forest, and from the...

It’s no secret Japan has long been trying to destroy us westerners with its unstoppable culture for decades. Whether it's replacing our wives with waifus or cramming our circulatory systems with their nutrient void, sodium-packed inst...

I'm at MomoCon this weekend in Atlanta Georgia for the purposes of judging the Indie Gaming Showcase this year (which they provided travel for), and happened to come across an amazing booth that I just had to share. Titled "Hero Wares and S...

Japan is overflowing with mascots. I wasn't even prepared when I visited, as every activity and location, from warnings about creepy airport shadow denizens who steal your stuff to anti-littering campaigns, have creatures. Prefectures (dist...

Tremors rules. Did you know (cue the voice) that we almost got a Tremors TV show with Kevin Bacon returning to his iconic role? Well it's dead now, you can watch the leaked trailer and imagine what might have been. The Tremors cre...

Super Mario 64's "so long...[x] Bowser!" is one of the most hotly contested video game lines to date. If you somehow haven't played this classic before, the gist is that during the several big boss battles with Bowser, Mario utters somethin...

The Great Serpent quickly became a mascot of Sekiro when it was introduced in a very early trailer, and its legacy lives on well after launch. As usual the cheeky PC modding community managed to replace the slinking baddie with a chara...
