Say what you want, but I love EA’s press conferences that kick off the E3 festivities every year. Is it typically boring? Yes. Is it awkward? Almost always. And is there ever any real substantial news to be revealed about upcoming games? Not really. Objectively, most of the conferences that EA has held over the

Along with talking about his time working with Cory Barlog, Control director Mikael Kasurinen today also revealed a variety of new details about Remedy’s upcoming project.

One of the biggest feats that Sony’s God of War was able to accomplish when it released last year was the ability to have the camera never cut at any point in the experience. This was a feature that the game’s director Cory Barlog was adamant that the team at Santa Monica Studio include as it

Reviews for Capcom’s latest game Devil May Cry 5 dropped this morning and across the industry, many other outlets seemed to agree with our own impressions: the game is fantastic. DMC5 seems poised to be yet another hit for Capcom, a publisher which has been on fire these past few years. Following the review scores dropping this
Switchblade is a crazy beast. Relatively novice studio Lucid Games is attempting to take on the MOBA market at large, which is filled with some of the heaviest hitters in the industry. Even better, they are driving that momentum with a unique take–instead of a top-down League of Legends format, we see vehicle action more akin to Twisted Metal or Rocket League.
Coming from the studio that brought us the Dark Souls series and Bloodborne, I can already tell you that yes, Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice is hard. And that you’ll probably die a lot. I mean, the title of the game is called “Shadows DIE Twice.” Think about it. …in any event, Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice–the highly-anticipated next project coming
Tons of games release for Valve’s popular PC gaming storefront Steam every day; consequently, this means that it can sometimes be hard to get noticed.

After more than ten years since we last saw Dante and Nero kicking demon ass and taking names, the very long-awaited Devil May Cry 5 is finally about to release on consoles and PC later this year. In case you couldn’t tell from our review that went up today, don’t worry: Devil May Cry 5 has very much
While Liquid Bit and BumbleBear Games were originally planning to release Killer Queen Black for Nintendo Switch and PC in Q1 2019, they pushed the game back until Q3 in February. Today, the pair revealed that the game will also be coming to Xbox One and will feature cross play across all three announced platforms. That
Coming eleven years since the last mainline installment in the series released, it’s not hard to overstate that a new, “proper” Devil May Cry game has been a long time coming. And before we get too thick into the rest of this review, let me just clear the air by saying that as much as it’s
With FromSoftware having closed the book on Dark Souls–a series that has essentially crafted an entire genre of its own–naturally that might have led many fans to speculate on what exactly would come next from the studio. Given how the Souls series and Bloodborne have come to define FromSoftware in the past decade, it’s inevitable that comparisons will be
Each month, Nintendo adds two or three new games to the Nintendo Entertainment System library that is available to Nintendo Switch Online members.

You really do think you’ve seen it all and that nothing could surprise you anymore, but that literally couldn’t be further from the truth – especially in this case. When we talk about mods in games they are usually something silly added in like when Shaggy from Scooby-doo became an extra in Jump Force or
Ever since its western release was announced at the Kinda Funny Games Showcase back in December, many fans of the Yakuza games have eagerly been waiting to find out when exactly Judgment, a spin-off of the aforementioned series, will be releasing for PS4.

Back in 1997, Turok released for Nintendo 64 and soon became one of the system’s most notable first-person shooters. While the series’ history is deeply rooted in Nintendo consoles, we actually haven’t seen a game on one of the Japanese giant’s platforms since Turok: Evolution in 2002. That finally changed today as we learned that
As we continue to near the release of Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice later this month, FromSoftware and Activision continue to release new brief footage of the game. Today, that new footage has taken the form of highlighting one of the larger enemies we’ve seen in Sekiro so far: the Great Serpent. This brief new video spends about
As we originally reported last November, rumors were swirling that Microsoft would be looking to release an Xbox One model in 2019 that wouldn’t contain a traditional disc drive.
