Lego games haven't changed much since their debut in the PS2 era (and yes, it's really been that long, and you're really that old). For better or worse, TT Games settled on a formula that seems to work, and the company has stuck with it for...

A ton of people are playing Forza. There was a 30 percent increase in players across the whole series last year, as 22 million people fired up one of the 10 currently-available games. More than 9 million people have played Forza Horizon 3, ...

Warriors Orochi 4 will be heading West this year on October 16 for PC, PS4, Xbox One and Switch! Many had assumed the game would be exclusive to Japan for 2018, but Koei Tecmo kept its promise of a worldwide release for the title. If that w...

At E3, I finally learned what Transference is (aside from being a VR project with Elijah Wood's involvement). It's a first-person adventure game with a psychological thriller tinge that has you inhabiting a family trapped in a corrupted dig...

We've all killed a lot of zombies. They're video game fodder. Entry-level enemies. Shambling corpses with no discernible traits other than an unfortunate pallor and a penchant for human flesh. Zombies suck. Licensed games also tend to suck....

Time will tell if The Division 2 adequately builds on where the last game left off or if it'll come out of the gate a little less refined than fans would hope. The loot-collecting open-world game shifts the fight against bullet-resistant...

That's right, the champ that runs the camp, the face that runs the place, that man that built the house of Smackdown Live is now the latest cover star in the annual WWE 2K series. Announced today by WWE and 2K Sports, AJ Styles will be offi...

Canonically, the Forza Horizon ride-alongs have always been one-person journeys. Just your nameless, faceless avatar of a driver careening all over the road. For all intents and purposes, the cars themselves are the protagonists of th...

It's been several years now since Trials Fusion and that means it's getting to be about time for another installment. While Fusion had the right mechanical foundation, I thought it fell short with its futuristic theme and misplaced emphasis...

First, you build the park and hire staff, then you begin expeditions in search of fossils and mosquitoes trapped in amber. Then comes creating new life from something long dead millions of years ago, all while ignoring the opinions of someo...

As predicted, Sony's excellent father/son adventure title God of War is back on top of the UK Charts, in a week that saw some of last year's titles return for one last run at the Brass Ring.E3 week saw Assassin's Creed Origins, Fallout 4 an...

Those of you who have big-time fancy-pants displays and PCs might want to check out this video, hosted by graphical giants Nvidia. The clip features gameplay footage from Bandai Namco's upcoming fighter sequel Soulcalibur VI, running on PC ...

We knew that Death Note's Light and Ryuk won't be playable in the upcoming crossover fighter Jump Force, but now thanks to a statement from producer Koji Nakajima, we know why. Speaking to Game Informer, Nakajima stated: There are a f...

Assassin's Creed is growing. Last year's Origins proved that Ubisoft putting the series on a brief hiatus could mature it into something more complex. The upcoming Assassin's Creed Odyssey seemingly follows this trend, as it'...

Things aren't going well in The Surge 2's dystopian landscape. Jericho City is a far cry from the dimly-lit industrial buildings that dominated so much of The Surge's runtime, but it's hardly a happy place. A mysterious storm lingers overhe...

Unlike most of the other games I'll play at E3, a single level of Mega Man 11 is actually enough to give a comprehensive look at the quality of the final product. There are two available for my session -- Block Man and Fuse Man -- and ...

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 ...

Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed was a celebration of all things Sega -- and it was an amazing arcade racer in its own right. Matter of fact, I think it's up there with Mario Kart 8. The next racing game from Sega, Team Sonic Racing...

From Software is squeezing as much as it can out of the four words Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice. At first, it might seem like nothing more than a stylish-sounding title -- all staccato'd syllables with a punch. But, really, those four words ex...

Six hours after my hands-off hour-long demo of Cyberpunk 2077, I finally got a chance to sit down to write out my thoughts. That quarter of a day, those 360 minutes, have done nothing to quell how goddamn fucking excited I am for this game....

Remedy is finally breaking free of the linear narrative formula that it has damn near perfected over the past 20+ years. For its seventh game, Control, it's wading into the waters of the open-world genre. We were shown a 20-some-minute hand...

For a while now, there have been claims from fans that the maps in PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds are basically asset flips. To quickly get the uninformed up to speed, asset flips are when a developer buys things like character models or bui...

Look, I don't think we have to talk about the live action 2017 Death Note movie at length. But some people probably want to at least have a chat about Willem Dafoe, who did an excellent job with the menacing meddler Ryuk. Dafoe, a...

Submitted for the approval of the Midnight Society -- the song I've been listening to this entire week, "Devil Trigger." I've espoused its greatness across several writeups now and I think it's all out of my system. Anyway onto the news! My...

Bless me readers, for I have sinned. It's been 3000 three years a while since my last Carter's Quest, as I took on new responsibilities and lost the ability to trek through entire franchises in my spare time. But with recent milestones like...
