  1. In 1439, a goldsmith named Johannes Gutenberg was working on an ill-begotten project to create polished metal mirrors designed to capture the holy light from religious relics, to be sold to pilgrims visiting an exhibition in Aachen, Germany. However, after flooding led to the event being delayed by a year, Gutenberg… Read more... View the full article
  2. Ever since Disney bought Lucasfilm back in 2012, there’s been a steady drip feed of Star Wars television shows airing on Disney+. Before that, we had a few shows set in George Lucas’ space opera universe, but they were only animated series (mostly) geared towards children. Since the Disney deluge, Disney has released… Read more... View the full article
  3. Happy Diablo IV day to all who celebrate. The action-RPG’s Vessel of Hatred expansion is finally here, though it will end up going live later than expected due to “a small issue on the backend,” Blizzard confirmed on Monday. Read more... View the full article
  4. The Joker 2 (officially called Joker: Folie à Deux)is out and it’s not doing very well. Critics don’t seem to like it, audiences don’t enjoy it, and it’s not making nearly as much money as its 2019 blockbuster predecessor. And if you are a big fan of the first Joker and decided to still go see the movie after all the… Read more... View the full article
  5. Gilbert Auchinleck, better known as Doc Harris, the man whose narration on the English version of Dragon Ball Z has reached iconic meme status over the decades, has ***** at age 76. News of his passing was first posted by Broadcast Dialogue, which reported Harris ***** on Saturday, October 5, following “minor surgery”… Read more... View the full article
  6. Laucnhing for everyone on Tuesday, the Silent Hill 2 remake from Bloober Team and Konami is a very well-made recreation of the original horror game. However, while somefans are complaining about certain changes made in the remake, the original game’s director is praising these tweaks online. Read more... View the full article
  7. Unreal Engine is so good at making games look hyper realistic that it’s become a meme for a certain style of uncanny fan video showing everything from The Legend of Zelda to The Simpsons remade with ultra detailed CGI effects. Well, now Halo’s Master Chief is getting that treatment for real, and the initial tease… Read more... View the full article
  8. Metaphor: ReFantazio may be one of the most stylish-looking games ever made, even more so than Persona 5, the incredibly flashy Atlus RPG that preceded it. Perhaps unsurprisingly, it turns out the menus that play a huge role in establishing the visual identities of these games are very hard to make. Read more... View the full article
  9. In addition to a brand new story, tons of quality-of-life improvements, many new mechanics, and even some new endgame dungeons to enjoy, Diablo IV: Vessel Of Hatred also adds a new class; the Spiritborn. Read more... View the full article
  10. Over the years, Persona, Atlus’ high school social sim RPG series, has captured my heart as the quintessential “power of friendship” games. The games have meaningful things to say about human connection as they follow high schoolers trying to save the world and still study for their final exams. But even when the… Read more...

  11. I’ll be real with you, there’s a lot to play right now. The fall season of releases is in full swing and is especially full of heavyweight RPGS like Metaphor: ReFantazio and Dragon Age: The Veilguard, which are coming down the pipeline later this month. However, if I could draw your attention away from the incoming… Read more... View the full article
  12. It’s time, once again, for The Wanderer to suit up and go dungeon crawling. This time, in the new Vessel of Hatred expansion for Diablo IV, you’re in pursuit of poor, tormented Neyrelle in the Hate-ridden lands of Nahantu. Much as I’d like to tell you that there’s a nice handy little pamphlet titled, “So, You Just… Read more... View the full article
  13. Star Wars is a mess at the moment. There are unvarnished bright spots like Andor, and then there’s everything else. There’s always a new hope though, and right now that’s seeing Obi-Wan Kenobi get a second season and go full live-action Clone Wars with flashbacks galore. Despite no confirmation of a season 2 from… Read more... View the full article
  14. New hit Throne and Liberty gives players quite a few unique spins on traditional MMO mechanics, but its most compelling is the ******* combo system. Instead of choosing a player class, by equipping two different types of weapons you earn both the active and passive skills of each, letting you create hybrid builds that… Read more...

  15. On Monday, ***** and Creative Assembly announced that after a decade of fans asking and pleading for an Alien: Isolation sequel, it’s actually happening. However, it’ll still probably be at least a year or two before we’ll see the highly anticipated horror game. Read more... View the full article
  16. In the past decade, Metroidvanias have seen a massive resurgence thanks to the indie scene. There have been dozens of new entries in the genre that introduce their own twists on the formula, and one of the best examples of this is ***** Cells. Released in 2018, the title from developers Motion Twin and Evil Empire has… Read more... View the full article
  17. Ever since mass layoffs at Halo maker 343 Industries, fans have wondered what the future will hold for the famed sci-fi shooter. It turns out Microsoft still has big plans for Master Chief, and they involve multiple upcoming projects as well as the franchise making the jump to Epic Games’ Unreal Engine, the tech that… Read more...

  18. Throughout Metaphor: ReFantazio’s roughly 80 hours, the RPG’s protagonist carries a novel with him as he travels through the fantastical world of the ******* Kingdom of Euchronia. The book depicts an idealized metropolis of skyscrapers where equality is written into law. It’s clear this story envisions a pristine… Read more...

  19. Back in February, we learned that Disney had invested an astonishing $1.5 billion in game developer Epic, as the two companies set out to create what they called “a new persistent universe.” Little more was known how this integration would work, but now an interview with Epic management by The Verge has made things a… Read more...

We’ve got our Sunday mental workout ready for you, and then you can head off and get your gaming grind on. (We’ve got the new *********’s Creed teed up this weekend.) Read more...

  21. It’s been a week, guys.From new DLC releases, to a new PS5 feature getting frustrating real fast, there was a lot to cover in this first week of October. We covered Astro **** devs acknowledging the lack of FF7 characters in its PlayStation love letter, Microsoft asking devs why they’re skipping Xbox, Nintendo ********… Read more...

  22. It’s the start of a new month, which means there’s a host of hot, new games coming your way. It can get overwhelming, scanning through the various game marketplaces to decide what you should spend your hard-earned money on, so we’ve gathered 34 games coming out this month that we’re stoked for. We’ve also spotted some… Read more... View the full article
  23. Welcome to the weekend, puzzlers! There’s plenty of great stuff to do on this first Saturday of October that doesn’t involve consuming pumpkin spice anything. (Because, really, it’s kind of played out, and it doesn’t taste that good.) You could go see Joker: Folie à Deux, but apparently that’s also kind of played out,… Read more... View the full article
  24. It’s the first week of October and the chill is setting in, but, don’t worry, our takes are still hot. This week, gathered our favorite games from Tokyo Game Show for you to peruse, suggested some characters that should get added in futureAstro **** DLC, fell in love with Shogun Showdown (after hating it at first),… Read more...

  25. There are some interesting points of comparison when considering the rise of Alex Pereira. For one, his stardom is apparent to the millions who’ve built it, rather than something fans need to be convinced of, unlike the supposed popularity of the Sphere-headlining Sean O’Malley. Moreover, he’s maintained a… Read more... View the full article
