I can't think of any game in recent memory that's waxed and waned as much as Pokemon Go, at least in my household. It was a rush to play at the height of its popularity, when anyone and everyone was going out and learning about various pock...

An evening of puttering around in Pokemon Quest on Nintendo Switch was plenty for me. I was curious enough to download the tap-centric free-to-play game at launch, but I also knew to keep a healthy distance. Stick around too long and you'll...

During its E3 2018 press conference, Bethesda announced The Elder Scrolls: Blades, a "massive" new first-person RPG built for mobile and playable in landscape or portrait mode. Bethesda's Todd Howard described it as the team wanting "an exp...

Creating digital card games is a tough gig, even for giants like Hearthstone. You have to constantly be shifting the goal posts to get people to buy into new sets, balance them, maintain a pro scene if applicable, and keep folks addicted wh...

Niantic has struggled with cheaters in Pokemon Go from the onset, and their responses have had a polarizing effect on the game's players. Rather than address users that spoof or exploit Go, the company has focused a lot of their effort...

Square Enix is the rare example of a major traditional games publisher who has been able to properly enter the mobile market. With its Montreal studio mostly devoted to mobile games, Square Enix found a formula for adapting some of its bigg...

Rumors about the next Pokémon games have been spreading like wildfire these past couple weeks, with supposed leaks and trademarks leading fans to believe that two Pokémon Yellow remakes -- one branded Let's Go! Pikachu, the ot...

Project CARS hangs its hat on being a faithful simulation of racing across all types of vehicles and conditions. The next installment probably won't aspire to reach those heights simply because of its platform. The third Project CARS&n...

In case you haven't heard, Atlus put out a mobile game based on the SMT universe called Dx2 Shin Megami Tensei: Liberation. It's live in Japan at the moment, and the company is working on an English version for release at an unspecifie...

There was a time where pretty much everyone I knew was using Miitomo, Nintendo's forgotten first mobile app (it wasn't Super Mario Run!). Then it kind of died off -- which wasn't an isolated incident it seems -- so much so that Nintendo ann...

We've known about Edmund McMillan and James Id's The Legend of Bum-bo for a good long while now, but we've never actually known much about it. Bum-bo is a companion in The Binding of Isaac, and this game has been billed as a prequel t...

PlatinumGames' first ever mobile game, World of Demons, was just revealed. (Well, its first mobile game outside of the Japan-only RPG Lost Order.) Both the developer and publisher DeNA have one clear goal with this project: To make this fee...

If there's one consistent thing that Platinum has proven in the 10 years since it was founded, it's that the Osaka-based studio knows how to make one hell of an action game. For its next project, Platinum is venturing into unknown waters to...

It's weird to watch the dichotomy between the DeNA mobile Nintendo realm and the traditional portable and console Nintendo universe we've known for decades play out before our eyes. Although the Big N has slid comfortably into the skin...

Fortnite players have to wait a little while longer to get back into their big team battles. Originally set to go live today, the return of the 50 vs 50 mode is getting delayed until next week. Epic announced the setback this afternoon in a...

Recently Hearthstone announced its next big wave of content, and they're following up on the start of that wave rather quickly. Witchwood, the horror themed expansion that centers around Worgen, among other denizens of the Warcraft wor...

I've been randomly popping into Fortnite on iOS for a quick game when I don't feel like booting it up on my PC (Blitz, the limited time mode where games were shorter was perfect for this), and it's served me well so far. Playing on a mobile...

As someone who mostly enjoyed the low key adventuring of the first Final Fantasy Explorers on 3DS a few years back, I've been looking forward to Final Fantasy Explorers-Force. Initially folks thought the follow-up would also arriv...

Developer Veak has been working on Tri Wing for a few years now, and it's almost set to jump out of Early Access and onto PCs proper, as well as iOS and Android. If you couldn't tell by the clip below it's heavily influenced by Mega Man Bat...

The great Battle Royale bout has begun! In one corner, PUBG (PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds), the leading champion who basically claims to have made up the genre even though it's existed for years, and in another, Fornite -- the current Twit...

The very large MMO about giant dinosaurs is coming to the platform that's physically the smallest. ARK: Survival Evolved is getting a mobile adaption. Developer Studio Wildcard just announced that ARK will be released on both iOS...

Final Fantasy Explorers-Force, a smartphone sequel to Final Fantasy Explorers on 3DS, caught my eye a while back. Sadly I had to wait longer than I thought to see it fully in action due to a delay, but now it's set for a March 15 release on...

Hearthstone is once again changing "years," which means that old cards are going away and becoming "wild" (Whispers of the Old Gods, One Night in Karazhan, Mean Streets of Gadgetzan) and new cards are becoming "standard" (tournament re...

It's fun to see companies like Game Freak (Pokémon) and HAL Laboratory (Kirby) branch out with original smaller-scale games every now and then. Part Time UFO is exactly that -- it's an object-stacking action puzzler in which a sentie...

Ever since the Switch was announced, there have been rumors swirling that Blizzard would get back on the Nintendo horse, something they haven't done in ages (StarCraft 64 anyone?). But it appears as if those rumors are dead, at least accord...
