  1. Off the beaten path of Dragon’s Dogma 2, away from the safety of the roads, ***** a creature unlike anything else the game has to offer. The Sphinx is a unique ****** in that she doesn’t challenge the player through combat; rather, she challenges you in a game of wits. It’s a series of riddles that test your knowledge… Read more...

  2. Sometimes, movies premiere on the same day and live harmonious lives at the box office. Last summer, Barbenheimer, the coexistence of Barbie and Oppenheimer, prompted movie theater marathons, memes, and cosplay dedicated to the diametrically opposed films. But that’s not always what happens, sometimes fans pit movies… Read more... View the full article
  3. Roblox is one of the biggest games in the world, letting people (who are mostly under 16 years old) create and play their own custom creations and share them with others. Roblox has also been at the center of controversy, as some believe the game exploits child labor and doesn’t do enough to protect them. When… Read more... View the full article
  4. Stellar Blade, the stylish character-action game with the drippiest protagonist in recent memory, launches as a PlayStation 5 exclusive on April 26. Ahead of its imminent release, developer Shift Up has spilt some tea on what to expect from updates after the game comes out, which’ll include more outfits for Eve and a… Read more...

  5. Back in the early 2010s, Batman was all the rage. Actually, what am I talking about? Batman is still all the rage, but at the time, it was an especially hot property. In the world of video games, Rocksteady’s Arkham series was taking off while Christopher Nolan was rounding the corner on his widely acclaimed trilogy… Read more... View the full article
  6. Senua’s Saga: Hellblade II is set to follow in its predecessor’s footsteps as a digital-only, shorter experience. Ninja Theory’s follow-up to the 2017 psychological horror action game will run about eight hours and cost only $50 compared to the $70 most AAA games cost on the Xbox Series X/S. If you prefer longer… Read more... View the full article
  7. We’re a little over a month away from the May 21 release of Hellblade 2: Senua’s Saga on Xbox Series X/S, the sequel to Ninja Theory’s 2017 action-adventure game Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice. Ahead of its launch, some sites got the chance to check out Ninja Theory’s sequel via a 45-minute preview with the story-driven… Read more... View the full article
  8. The latest Palworld patch is a big one, bringing a host of new features to the survival-sim-meets-monster-catcher. Still in early access, Palworld is constantly being updated by developer Pocketpair, but this may be the most exciting update yet. Most notably, it introduces the game’s highly anticipated first Raid Boss,… Read more... View the full article
  9. A former developer at Rockstar North, the studio behind the immensely popular Grand Theft Auto franchise, has revealed the reasons why sometimes planes in GTA: San Andreas would just randomly ****** near the player. He also provided some insight into why a particular NPC in the game would take a photo and then walk off… Read more... View the full article
  10. A new life-size replica of the robotic doll and star of 2022 horror hit M3GAN is now available to pre-order from collectible company NECA. The doll was revealed on April Fools, but this isn’t a joke or prank product. No, this doll is real and it’s also really expensive, too. You’ll need to put down $500—the price of a… Read more...

  11. Often, when you rest in Dragon’s Dogma 2, your main Pawn will pick up work from other players online. These loyal non-playable characters in Capcom’s latest high-fantasy role-playing game tend to return bearing gifts, such as the currency Rift Crystals (which you can use to hire other players’ main Pawns) or… Read more...

  12. Destiny 2 is a game I’ve gotten used to quitting on. For as long as I’ve played it, I’ve always found reasons to put it down. As much as it wants to be a game people keep coming back to, everything about the way it’s been built makes it bristling, thorny, and off-putting. The longest stretch I’ve spent comfortably… Read more... View the full article
  13. Final Fantasy XIV’s next expansion, Dawntrail, releases on June 28 (for those who pre-order). I’m looking forward to it. There is just one problem—I still haven’t finished the last expansion, Endwalker. Yes, I know it came out at the end of 2021, but time just got away from me and I fell off in the middle of the… Read more... View the full article
  14. In an increasingly digital age, owning media outright has become less and less possible. Whether it’s movies, music, books, or video games, the pivot to digital has made it ******* for consumers to own permanent, physical copies of their favorite pieces of media. In video games, myriad titles that players have spent… Read more... View the full article
  15. Later this month the National Hockey League, WB Games, and **** Sports are coming together to hold the first-ever “MultiVersus NHL Face-Off” game. What’s that? Well, apparently it’s going to give us all the chance to watch beloved WB characters—like Bugs Bunny and Batman—play ice hockey together on TruTV. Read more... View the full article

  17. Ye, the rapper known by most as Kanye West, is the subject of a new lawsuit from an ex-employee who alleges he subjected staff to an abusive work environment. The lawsuit alleges that West imitated Nintendo’s beloved video game icon, Mario, of Super Mario Bros. fame, while threatening his staffers. Read more... View the full article
  18. The next Prince of Persia game from Ubisoft, reportedly named The Rogue Prince of Persia, is being developed by ***** Cells DLC developer Evil Empire and is coming to Steam early access later this year. Read more... View the full article
  19. Everywhere I go, Malevelon Creek follows. It is in every other Helldivers-related post I see on Twitter, Reddit, and TikTok. When I first played Helldivers 2, the game was synonymous with this image of soldiers in some barren desert laying waste to ******* bugs. Now? Now all I see is that ***** jungle and those… Read more... View the full article
  20. After multiple persistent threats against attendees and staff that led to the cancellation of the major Nintendo Live event in Tokyo in December 2023, ********* police have reportedly arrested the person responsible. Read more... View the full article
  21. Windblown, the next game from ***** Cells developer Motion Twin, has given players a first look at its high-speed gameplay. The action roguelite was first announced at the 2023 Game Awards with a stylish reveal trailer, but didn’t show much of what it would actually be like to play. The latest trailer gets right to the… Read more... View the full article
  22. A lot can happen to games that get stuck in development limbo. They can get passed around like a hot potato, stopped and restarted several times, and even canceled. Saber Interactive’s Knights of the Old Republic remake has experienced many of these trials and tribulations, but has eluded the worst of them:… Read more... View the full article
  23. In what has to be one of the more annoying battle sequences of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, President Rufus Shinra shows up to take Cloud on in a one-on-one match in the Gold Saucer in Chapter 12. As in Final Fantasy VII Remake, Rufus is a fast and deadly opponent. Yet he’s very beatable if you deploy the right… Read more... View the full article
  24. The nearly $700 Limited Edition Steam Deck OLED was released in November 2023 and came with all the improvements found in the normal OLED Deck, but also sported a translucent plastic shell. But this pricier, limited variant seems to be cracking due to overly-tight screws and possible issues with the special plastic… Read more... View the full article
  25. A newly released game industry report by market researcher Newzoo shows that while the PC and console market grew 2.6 percent in 2023, overall playtime decreased as gamers spent more and more time in a smaller list of old games like Fortnite and League of Legends.
