Darksiders III launched late last year without one of the series' staples. The Abyssal Armor, the most powerful gear set in both Darksiders and Darksiders II, was nowhere to be found in the third game. That's because Gunfire Game...

Torchlight II is a total blur to me at this point, and that means I'm liable to double-dip for the upcoming console ports. The enduring action-RPG will make its way to PS4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch in September with platform-exclusive ...

As mega-fans will tell you, any Monster Hunter game doesn't truly begin until you finish the "story" mode. Once you've cleared all the main missions in each game, then extra ranks and tougher challenges unlock and you start to get better ar...

Stranger Things 3: The Game is a note-for-note retelling of Stranger Things season three, released day and date with the popular Netflix series. If you haven't seen it, Stranger Things (the show) draws influence from sev...

I took one look at Blazing Chrome and was ready to play it. I spent countless hours engrossed in games like Metal Slug and Contra, and I just don't mean the classics, as more modern editions like Shattered Soldier and Hard Corps: Uprising a...

Red Dead Redemption 2 is a fantastic single-player video game and one of my personal favorites games from this generation. Red Dead Online, however, is maybe Rockstar's worst online component to date and I genuinely believe if it launched a...

A modern-day interpretation of ActRaiser feels like a gift straight from the heavens. The fondly remembered Super Nintendo classic was a novel concept back in the day, and all these years later, it still stands out. ActRaiser offered an int...

A neat surprise out of E3 was the news that Ubisoft would update Assassin's Creed Odyssey to add something called Story Creator Mode. This new tool allowed players to forge their own quests and make their own stories. Equipped with th...

We already knew that Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3 was getting a season pass, but thanks to a new official listing, we have an idea of what that actually entails. Nintendo and Marvel have revealed the full schedule, with DLC 1 coming in the fa...

"What's the deal with Marvel's Avengers" is how Jordan started his gigantic E3 preview, and, informative as his write-up may be, it still seems like a perfectly valid question. E3 came and went, and the general populace saw hardly anything ...

I'm way too predictable with the games I cover, but I have no regrets. Bake 'n Switch looks super cute! It's a competitive and cooperative cooking action game about tossing dough around the battlefield. The developers used a lot of good bak...

During Inti Creates' panel at Anime Expo yesterday, the company revealed that Mighty Gunvolt Burst will be heading to PC (via Steam) on July 31, 2019. Retailing for $9.99, this new port will contain all three playable characters from the P...

As announced at the Bandai Namco panel at Anime Expo LA, One Piece: Pirate Warriors is getting a fourth iteration. Somehow the undying anime series lives on (will we ever find out what the "One Piece" is, is it the friends we made alon...

After spending a literal 24 hours with Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night, I've come to the conclusion that it stands a very real chance of being one of my favorite games of 2019. I honestly didn't expect it! As much as I adore Iga's brand o...

[Update: Metal Wolf Chaos XD's August 6 launch date has also surfaced on Steam, and the listing shows a surprising bonus for pre-purchasing the game: a Half-Life-themed Lambda mech suit skin.] Before there was Souls, From Software was craft...

Monster Hunter World: Iceborne's monster list is slowly coming into focus, with Nargacuga, Tigrex, and Beotodus all making appearances. This week, Capcom showed off another returning favorite for the expansion: Barioth. We got our first loo...

You can never truly have enough suits in Marvel's Spider-Man, and while I don't ever see myself moving away from the Spider-Punk look, I like that there's an outfit for every mood. This week, Insomniac Games added a pair of new suits to the...

Darksiders Genesis looks wild. It's a top-down shooter and hack and slash in one, thanks to the appearances of both War and Strife (the latter of which hasn't gotten his own game yet), who will employ different combat approaches. Wait, just...

After getting a feel for Code Vein thanks to the recent network test on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, I can't say I'm in any particular rush to play more of Bandai Namco's anime-leaning Souls-like RPG. I liked how easy it was to experiment wi...

Spotted from a PEGI rating just last month, WayForward has confirmed the Mighty Switch Force! Collection is real and will be releasing soon. Launching on July 25, 2019, for PC, PS4, Xbox One, and Switch, the compilation package will bring ...

It's fair to state that last year's revisit to the God of War series was an all-out success. With its vision of a matured, tired Kratos, and the incredible quest he undertakes with his son Atreus, Sony Santa Monica not only reinvented the f...

[Update: Director Takahisa Taura has recently tweeted that he was misinterpreted by IGN Benelux, and that Astral Chain is not designed as part of a trilogy but that he said he was "thinking about various ways that it can be expanded into a ...

You aren't the only one who fondly remembers ActRaiser. Sega and Ace Team are hoping to bring back the esteemed Super Nintendo game's action/platforming/town-building vibes with SolSeraph. As an added bonus, they even recruited ActRaiser co...
