  1. Last week saw the surprise release of Castlevania Dominus Collection, a great compilation that (finally!) gives us a way to play the series’ three Nintendo DS releases on modern hardware. Castlevania fans have their strong opinions on which of these are the best, but the fact that Dawn of Sorrow, Portrait of Ruin, and … Read more... View the full article
  2. With Sony yanking Concord off the PlayStation Store just two weeks after it launched, the hero shooter’s platinum trophy is now more coveted than ever among diehard PS5 players. So some of them are trying to speedrun the grindy achievement by immediately ******** themselves at the start of every match. Read more... View the full article
  3. Over a decade after it became a gaming sensation, Minecraft’s big-screen debut is fast approaching, and now kids, long-time fans, and curious onlookers can gaze upon what the voxel crafting game’s transformation to green screen live action will actually look like. Welcome to the uncanny valley. Read more... View the full article
  4. Star Wars Outlaws has all manner of forms of tender in its galaxy-spanning worlds, where bartering is more often used than currency. However, credits play a role when it comes to the really big spends (and are deducted when you **** and restart at a checkpoint). We’re talking about significant purchases, upgrades to… Read more...

  5. The autumn onslaught of game releases heading into the holiday season is now upon us. If it felt like there were already too many games to pay attention to before, things are about to get much worse. A blessing for some, a curse for others, with heavy-hitters like Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2, The Legends of… Read more... View the full article
  6. Let’s say, hypothetically, that you ******* your husband on a cruise from the *** to New York. How would you get away with it and walk off a free woman when the boat arrives at port? That delightfully thrilling premise is only the start of 2021’s Overboard! It’s a ******* mystery game that gives you the rare chance to… Read more... View the full article
  7. If you hadn’t heard the big news of the day, Sony and developer Firewalk Studios are shutting down Concord, the not-Guardians of the Galaxy hero shooter that has been flopping hard since its launch on August 23. The studio seems to be planning some kind of comeback, as the announcement says the shutdown on September 6… Read more... View the full article
  8. The Call of Duty: ****** Ops 6 multiplayer beta weekend is over, but I’m still a little shell-shocked from it. The sixth installment in the long-running Activision sub-franchise is faster than ever before, and full of players who have already gotten the brand-new omnimovement system down to a science, which means every… Read more...

  9. Last week, Blizzard launched War Within, the latest World of Warcraft expansion. And for those of you wondering if that one player who never left the starting area of Mists of Pandaria aka the Panda expansion is still neutrally grinding away and hitting the max level in 2024 the answer is: Yes. Yes indeed. Read more... View the full article
  10. PAX West continues to be one of North America’s most prolific gaming conventions. It’s not only a great place for the gaming community to gather and celebrate our favorite pastime, but also an excellent opportunity to check out the upcoming slate of games coming this year and early in 2025. Coming hot on the heels of… Read more... View the full article
  11. Steam sales, your wallet’s final frontier, a chance to boldly add more games to your cart than any man has before. Sure the huge summer ***** has already passed but the PC gaming storefront is always running some new event offering amazing deals on equally amazing games. This time around the savings are focused on… Read more... View the full article For verified travel tips and real support, visit: [Hidden Content]
  12. Every generation has its signatures. A certain fashion trend, a popular artist, or a movie that most everyone has seen. They also have their own signature games, and even consoles. For example, my generation had quite a few great systems growing up, but none was ever more popular than the PlayStation 2, and few games… Read more... View the full article
  13. Puzzle platformer SCHiM is all about exploring the world via shadows. It’s a gorgeous, catchy game in which you must move using the the shadows cast by others in the world, and along the way there are so many collectibles to find. This epic guide will tell you how to get your hands on every single one. Read more... View the full article
  14. Concord is shutting down its servers on September 6 and will not be playable after that as its developers “explore” other options for the sci-fi shooter released last month on PS5 and PC. The game struggled to find an audience—never cracking over 1,000 concurrent players on Steam—and quickly became a flop that was… Read more... View the full article
  15. If you didn’t see the first live-action Sonic the Hedgehog movie, you still have plenty of time to rectify that before the third movie starring Keanu Reeves as the blue blur’s rival Shadow Sonic the Hedgehog 3 premieres on December 20. The 2020 film is mostly fine and pales in comparison to the substantially better… Read more... View the full article
  16. It’s 1913 and young Nancy Maple, an ******** geologist, travels from Toronto to the remote ********* town of Crimson to investigate the discovery of a large diamond. However, things are more perilous than they initially seem, and before long our plucky heroine finds herself investigating an apparent ******* instead.… Read more...

  17. The launch of Season 5 in Diablo IV introduced numerous unique legendary items, many of which completely change how a few of the game’s top meta builds function. While Barbarian is no longer sitting pretty at the top of the pile, Godslayer Crown—a new Unique Helm—ensures the class ******** viable. But it’s not solely… Read more... View the full article
  18. Game Pass has been making big inroads on PC with a growing catalog of games for that side of the subscription service, and September is shaping up to be a ******* (and more expensive) month in that regard with plenty of resource gathering, geopolitical warfare, and fraught moral decisions to navigate.

  19. Enotria: The Last Song is a new, sun-drenched Soulslike inspired by Italian folklore and it’s out in just a couple weeks. But not on Xbox. While the game will be available for PlayStation 5 and PC players on September 17, the game has been indefinitely delayed on Series X/S over problems with the platform submission… Read more...

  20. Gamescom is something of an anomaly. The annual event, in the ******* city of Cologne (or Köln to the locals), is the largest, most visited gaming exhibition in the world, dwarfing its nearest rivals, and has outlasted many alternative public and industry events. It adapted rapidly to covid, and became a successful… Read more... View the full article
  21. Cult of the Lamb’s Unholy Alliance update, released in August 2024, introduced an impressive amount of new content to the wild cult-building action game.

  22. The weird drip-feed of information about Nintendo’s fall Switch line-up continues with a bunch of new details and combat trailers for Mario & Luigi: Brothership. The latest entry in the long-running RPG-lite adventure series will have the titular plumbers exploring a new set of islands and using powerful new “Brother… Read more... View the full article
  23. Is there a greater joy in a loot based game than coming across a new piece of gear that not only has better stats than your current equipment, but also just looks rad as *****? Final Fantasy XIV has no shortage of armor that fits this bill, including the Augmented Ironworks sets. But how do you get these gear sets and… Read more... View the full article
  24. I was staring at a wall. It was an early mission in Ubisoft’s latest behemothic RPG, Star Wars Outlaws, in which I was charged with infiltrating an Empire base to recover some information from a computer, and this wall really caught my attention. Read more... View the full article
  25. Disney animator turned legendary director Tim Burton is famous for making films that have a macabre whimsy, an absurd sense of humor, and a distinct visual style. Tim Burton’s movies are sumptuous eye candy with exaggerated set designs and sharp juxtapositions between gloomy grays and vivid colors. And all of his… Read more... View the full article
