We're mere days away from the playable teaser for Life is Strange 2, a neat little adjacent story about an imaginative child who's using fantasy escapism to make the best of a bad situation. It's called The Awesome Adventures of Captain Spi...

Dissidia NT hasn't made any strides in the eSports department, but I still find myself going back to it and enjoying it quietly. I'll be booting it up again this week for sure with the advent of Locke Cole -- the crafty Final Fantasy V...

Those who are looking forward to the next semi-chapter in the Life is Strange canon have one fewer day to wait. The Awesome Adventures of Captain Spirit will now arrive next Monday instead of next Tuesday. Developer Dontnod tweete...

Whenever I tell someone that I cover games for a living, they typically ask me if I know anything about the Final Fantasy VII Remake. Very few people do, as Square Enix is keeping a tight lid on the production -- but every once in a wh...

Competitive Fortnite is officially here. Beginning in Fall of 2018, players will be able to start qualifying for the first Fortnite World Cup. The inaugural competitive season will conclude at some point in 2019.

Fans of the Kingdom Hearts series have been asking for awhile if the upcoming Kingdom Hearts III would be receiving DLC a la Final Fantasy XV's never-ending updates. Not only did that game have a season pass, but it is getting more DLC beyo...

Although in the grand scheme of things gaming is a luxury, I am glad I was born when I was. Getting to grow up with the classics from the Atari era on was a treat, in part because I could never predict quite how much I could put all of that...

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...

"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 ...

I'm kind of happy going into Octopath Traveler blind. Square Enix has been experimenting with old school JRPGs lately and I'm loving it, even if they're still trying to wrestle down that old Chrono Trigger formula -- and not quite getting t...

Andy's Room is an absolute stunner. As the E3 demo for Kingdom Hearts III opened, I stood there for a moment, in absolute awe, at what Square Enix had created. Arguably one of the best, most colorful games I've seen, it took me a moment to ...

E3 is a rather lousy place to play Dragon Quest XI for the first time. Sessions are limited to just 15 minutes, and with two small maps to explore with a bevy of points of interest, a single session isn't even a proper amount of t...

NieR: Automata exceeded everyone's expectations, both in terms of critical and commercial metrics. Everyone involved seems happy with it, and it's even getting an Xbox One port soon -- something that never seemed possible given how poorly t...

The whole "kids and salarymen skipped school/work" to buy and play Dragon Quest legend is one of my favorite stories to tell people who aren't familiar with the world of games. It's a fun little story that has grown in popularity in th...

Last October the Final Fantasy XIV team unleashed their first "Ultimate" raid tier project into the wild, and the concept caught on like wildfire. Only accessible to groups who have cleared the latest raid tier on the highest difficulty (Sa...

Yesterday we summed up E3's conference situation so far, and it was looking really good for Microsoft. Towering over above the others with a 76.6% approval rating (for context, we provided polls at the end of every conference for readers to...

We aren't quite done with new information about Octopath Traveler. While Nintendo didn't show any extra footage or even clue us into details, they did announce that a new demo will be available on the eShop this week. Launching on the 14th,...

[Update: The Kingdom Hearts All-in-One Package is available for pre-order on PlayStation Network. For $100, it includes: Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 + 2.5 Remix (instant access), Kingdom Hearts HD 2.8 Final Chapter Prologue (instant access), King...

With Kingdom Hearts III being a reality that we can play next year, it was only a matter of time that Square Enix would get on the collector's edition bandwagon. The standard deluxe edition (available now on Amazon) will be going for $79.99...

Square Enix tempered our expectations by saying that their E3 "Showcase" was more like a prepped Direct, and man I'm glad they did that. With hardly any reveals it really was a showcase of trailers, giving us info we pretty much knew alread...

In a quick sizzle reel going over some upcoming releases, Square Enix gave us one last trailer before Octopath Traveler launches next month. It doesn't show off much new info, but it does give us a look at the very stylish header image. I r...

So uh, The Quiet Man is a thing. During today's E3 Direct/Showcase presentation, Square Enix unveiled a new project that involves beating up people on the street and delivering lunch. In a strange live action/in-game engine bending tra...

Square Enix is constantly spouting the phrase "Lara's defining moment" when talking about Shadow of the Tomb Raider, like she hasn't had a dozen of them already in her reboot incarnation. And with their E3 Showcase/Direct today, they s...

An intriguing under-the-radar reveal from yesterday's Xbox press conference was The Awesome Adventures of Captain Spirit. It's a tale of childhood wonder told through the perspective of a young kid as he uses his imagination to deal with g...

There is something about the Dragon Quest theme song that, no matter what mood I am in, will brighten me up and make the next hour or so of my life truly wonderful. That's the mood I'm in now having seen the new trailer Square Enix re...
