Heroes of the Storm's development is winding down, but as of now, new characters are still arriving. We can likely expect this cadence throughout the year as heroes who were previously in development need to see the light of day, but after ...

This weekend, over one million players took their (supposed) "one shot" at the Resident Evil 2 remake, via a new demo launched by Capcom on the PS4, PC and Xbox One platforms. Given 30 minutes to step into the handsome features of supercop ...

I have never played Tales of Vesperia. But for a rather long time, I wanted it quite badly, because it was one of the games I couldn't have. Ten years ago, early in the lives of both the Xbox 360 and the PlayStation 3, Microsoft scored a co...

It took me a long, long while to warm up to the "New" Mario series. I thought the DS debut was rather stale and devoid of life, but over time it started to prove its mettle. The Wii version was a slight improvement, but it really wasn'...

With Super Mario Odyssey, Nintendo came close to maxing out on the concept of being anyone you want to be. While that made for a one-of-a-kind experience within the Mario universe, there were actually a few other games that used the same ho...

The skateboarding gaming scene has been stagnant for a long while. The Tony Hawk legacy effectively died in 2007 with Proving Ground, and any attempts to resurrect it outside of an HD remaster of bits of Tony Hawk 2 and 3 have been uns...

At this point in time, people are probably sick of hearing about Dynasty Warriors. The team over at Omega Force has pumped out so many titles under the banner that you'd be forgiven for not knowing nearly half of them. Despite playing most ...

Nic Rowen's review of Rain World seemed sympathetic but sad, which makes sense given that the game does a lot to invoke those two feelings. The bad news is, he was also feeling pretty disappointed when he said "I feel so badly for...

After our glowing review of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate from Chris Carter -- which primarily focused on the single-player components -- I decided in today's episode of Impulse we'd discuss our impressions from the online multiplayer! So, I ...

Activision has followed the same format for Call of Duty DLC since...well, forever. Typically they announce add-ons ahead of time, which are comprised of a handful of maps and a zombie pack, then that date comes and whatever publisher has t...

On the 30th anniversary of the Sega Genesis, Sega is doubling down on the classic system with a new bundle in an unlikely marketplace: the Fire TV store. For $14.99 you're getting 25 games, and I have to say despite the unconventional ...

Whenever a new shmup arrives on PC or Switch, you typically hear people clamoring for "TATE mode." In short this phrase basically translates to "vertical" support, originating with the Japanese word for the orientation. Not just in the sens...

I must confess: I haven't used my PlayStation VR headset in months. It's not down to disappointment or boredom, but mainly because I haven't had the time to just "disappear" for the length of time you need to get a satisfying session out of...

When it was announced Panic Button was bringing Warframe to Switch, I had to Google what Warframe was. Until that moment, I don’t think I spared a second of my life thinking about it. Here was a free-to-play PC game that launched with...

Blizzard took to the stage at this year's BlizzCon to announce that Orphea, the Raven Lord's daughter, was coming to Heroes of the Storm. For Heroes players who even know who the Raven Lord is there was a mixed reaction. For every...

I don't know what's going on with the Neo Geo Mini. Shortly after I got my hands on one, SNK announced that an upgraded Holiday version of the hardware would be going up for pre-order in the coming days. That's not a good sign. I have to gu...

People constantly pine for the "good old days" of gaming and in some cases, I can sympathize. Microtransactions and gambling are stuffed into projects far too often, creating a bitter feeling where you're often left wondering if any given g...

Astebreed is a fantastic bullet hell game that originally launched on PC and eventually made its way onto PlayStation 4 too. Last week, it was quietly released on the Switch eShop without much marketing or fanfare. After spending some time ...

It's time again for your semi-regular look at the season's best and brightest anime! Welcome once more to Japanator's Anime Binge Log! Last time we took a look at the latest chapter of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, a show that, while not univer...

(Update: The same day this story went live on Destructoid, an update launched for Stardew Valley that alleviated some of these concerns. For starters, outside of festivals and special events, the game will now quick save when you ...

Fallout 76 is an odd one. I don't think any Fallout fan suspected this would be the next step from Bethesda. As I mentioned in today's episode, I also don't quite know who they were aiming for with this game. The verdict is practically out ...

It’s safe to say that the Nintendo Switch has replaced the Vita as a portable indie beast. Over the last year and a half, Nintendo’s hybrid device has amassed quite the collection of impressive indie titles. No one device lets y...

Watching Diablo III morph before my very eyes has been a wild ride. Although I maxed out every class within a month of its release, I quickly noticed that my friends list was dwindling. Folks were completely turned off by the lack of an eng...

I have played a bit of Fallout 76. Let's call it two-and-a-half hours on the night the beta launched. Fallout 76 is supposedly like 100-some hours long. I have probably only scratched the surface. It's not enough for proper impressions. It'...

As part of today's EVE Vegas opening festivities, press were granted access to the first-ever alpha build of the new Project Nova. Set for general consumption next month in the form of said alpha, the below video shows off a full PVE m...
