  1. Warframe feels like it has been around forever. And yet despite being 11 years into its run as a live-service game, it still has a thriving fanbase, thanks to a crucial combination of community goodwill and a game that’s legitimately fun to play and is always getting cool, new stuff. But for those considering jumping… Read more... View the full article
  2. When Overwatch introduced **** scientist tank Sigma back in 2019, he was immediately a powerful shakeup of the meta. His placeable shield was more flexible than Reinhardt or Orisa’s, and his primary rock-throwing ******* did can do damage and disrupt in equal measure. On top of this, his ultimate ability, Gravitic Flux,… Read more... View the full article
  3. Hi-Fi Rush, developed by Tango Gameworks, is a colorful action-rhythm game that got a surprise release in 2023 and ended up being one of the best games of the year. But the studio behind it was recently closed by Xbox, making the game’s final update a somber farewell to fans. Read more... View the full article
  4. Bungie’s been slowly peeling back the layers of Destiny 2: The Final Shape, unveiling systemic reworks, a new subclass, nitty gritty server details, and most importantly, a great deal of new loot for players to obtain. However, the newest Exotic ******* to be revealed isn’t entirely new, and might require a bit of a… Read more... View the full article
  5. The latest offerings available to Xbox Game Pass subscribers include a slew of underrated titles that many gamers probably missed when they first released. But if you have to choose one game in the lineup to play, it should be Chants of Sennaar. The endearing art style and enthralling puzzle design made it one of… Read more... View the full article
  6. A new fan-developed tool will soon let users easily port nearly any Nintendo 64 video game to PC, helping preserve the console’s library for future generations and allowing players to graphically improve even the most obscure N64 games. And you can already get a taste of what this new tool can do via a recently… Read more... View the full article
  7. Today, Airship Syndicate announced the return of its online action-RPG Wayfinder, albeit with a few key differences. Though the game was pulled from Steam while its previous publisher, Digital Extremes (Warframe), was transferring the rights to developer Airship, it is set to land on the storefront again on June 11… Read more...

  8. *********’s Creed Shadows is the next big open-world RPG from Ubisoft. It sports dual protagonists, a shinobi and a samurai, and it looks incredible so far. The next game in the blockbuster stealth series arrives on November 15 and based on its first trailer, it seems like exactly what fans have been dreaming of ever… Read more... View the full article
  9. You will never be able to stop thinking about Lorelei and the Laser Eyes. The latest game from developer Simogo, the team behind 2019’s Sayonara Wild Hearts and 2013’s buzzy, puzzly adventure game Device 6, will ***** itself into your mind. That ******** true even when you aren’t actively playing it, and continues long… Read more... View the full article
  10. Final Fantasy XIV makes it easy to accessorize your character, but glamming up your display name requires great responsibility. Those little crowns you see next to certain players’ names indicate that they are Mentors, who are (in theory) experienced players who can show newer players the ropes in Eorzea. It’s a neat… Read more... View the full article
  11. Everyone who’s ever played an online game with voice chat has probably experienced something that made them never want to do so again. Toxicity in online games, especially in shooters and other competitive genres, can feel as ingrained and immutable as bad weather. Companies keep saying they’re working hard on fixing… Read more...

  12. Earlier this week, we saw some set photos from the upcoming The Last of Us season two that gave us a look at Bella Ramsey’s new get-up as protagonist Ellie. HBO apparently thought that wasn’t enough, and has now released the first official images from the second season showing both Ramsey and Joel actor Pedro Pascal… Read more... View the full article
  13. King Charles III, the current monarch of the ******* Kingdom, unveiled a new portrait of himself on Tuesday, May 14. The portrait, painted by British artist Jonathan Yeo, marks the first official portrait of the king since his coronation one year ago. In the reveal video of the portrait, Charles pulls back a shroud… Read more... View the full article
  14. Street Fighter 6 has a huge roster of martial artists, each with different fighting styles and training methods. Each comes from a different discipline, which means they all have different body types, from Zangief’s hulking bodybuilder frame to E. Honda’s heavier sumo build. As such, developer Capcom decided to… Read more... View the full article
  15. If it walks like a duck, sounds like a duck, and has previously developed extremely popular duck-based video games, then it’s fairly safe to say it’s a duck. NieR series producer Yosuke Saito, NieR series director and writer Yoko Taro, and NieR series composer Keiichi Okabe are all working on a new game together, but… Read more... View the full article
  16. Amazon isn’t just publishing the next big Tomb Raider video game. Today, the massive company confirmed the previously reported news that it is also making a live-action TV show based on the Tomb Raider games, and has tapped Phoebe Waller-Bridge to write it up.

  17. Believe it or not folks, the asymmetric horror multiplayer game ***** by Daylight is somehow eight years old. Over the years, the game has swallowed multiple horror properties into it, such as Scream, Silent Hill, Resident Evil, and more. Today, as it celebrated eight long years, developer Behaviour Interactive hosted… Read more... View the full article
  18. Custom, often impractical video game controllers are a tale as old as time. Who could forget the bizarre Resident Evil 4 chainsaw controller or when Square Enix released controllers shaped like Yuna’s guns from Final Fantasy X-2? Well, here comes a new challenger, as a Baldur’s Gate 3 fan has made a fully functional… Read more... View the full article
  19. After replaying the original, 1997, Final Fantasy VII recently, I knew the next step for me was to immediately jump into Final Fantasy VIII. As my favorite game in the franchise, I can hardly resist any opportunity to play FF8, but this time I felt more encouraged to draw points of comparison and differences between… Read more...

  20. May is shaping up to be a very, very good month for Xbox Game Pass—with some sleeper hits, like magic FPS Immortals of Aveum, and new games, like Senua’s Saga: Hellblade II, arriving soon. And I bet Xbox is happy to have some good news to share right now, following the last few months. Read more... View the full article
  21. Nintendo wants to lean hard into movies. After the astronomical success of The Super Mario Bros. Movie, why wouldn’t it? But Mario actor Chris Pratt is dreaming even *******—He wants the company to think beyond just having an adaptation in theaters every few years and consider an extended film universe. Read more...

  22. Renowned game developer Ron Gilbert’s latest game is not at all what any of us might’ve expected. As spotted by Time Extension, the game’s been teased as “Classic Zelda meets Diablo meets Thimbleweed Park,” and is set to release in 2024…maybe. Read more... View the full article
  23. A few months ago, former Bungie composer Marty O’Donnell announced he was running for Congress. And in a new interview, the Halo and Destiny composer says he’ll succeed because he’s a “gamer” and also because, making Halo 2 was ******* than governing a nation. Read more... View the full article
  24. Aerith’s ****** (spoilers) in the original Final Fantasy VII was one ***** of an emotional ordeal. And while fans scoured the game years after its release for a chance at finding a way to revive her, there was a way to catch a quick glimpse of her in the late game after she *****. Is it a ghost or a glitch? It’s a little… Read more... View the full article
  25. The Xbox 360 is a legendary console, and its storefront, the Xbox Marketplace, was similarly legendary, becoming one of the most prominent online stores in console history and helping pave the way for digital distribution.
