I love Destiny. I was a player and fan from the get-go during the PlayStation exclusive Alpha all the way up to the launch for Forsaken last year. Destiny is arguably one of this generation’s definitive series, whether you like it or not. It’s fusion of buttery smooth FPS gunplay, MMO-lite design, sholootin’ and a

There’s no denying that Beat Saber is likely one of the best games currently available for VR headsets. The highly-addictive rhythm game is a ton of fun to play but likely Beat Saber’s biggest problem is that it just doesn’t boast enough tracks. Luckily, that will be changing in the near future. Beat Games recently announced that
Last month, we saw Shadow of the Tomb Raider receive a new DLC called The Nightmare which saw Lara back at Croft Manor and coming up against characters from her past, but now fans of the title are going to get their hands on yet another DLC that’s available as of right now. The newest adventure

Despite some recent issues with the game’s PS4 version, EA and BioWare’s Anthem has once again taken home the top spot on the weekly video game sales chart in the UK.

Earlier this year, Frozenbyte and Modus Games confirmed that they had partnered to work on Trine 4, the latest entry in the puzzle-platforming series that put Frozenbyte on the map.

February was a month of really high highs and very low lows for Swedish publisher THQ Nordic. On the positive side of things, they were able to raise $200 million in order to acquire more valuable IP and studios, something THQ Nordic is known for doing. Unfortunately, THQ Nordic made the decision to hold an
Every now and then there comes a game that just completely catches you off guard. Each year I’ll typically pick up a game that looks visually appealing to me and just say “Eh, why not.” Surprisingly, this time around it just so happens to be a real-time strategy game, a genre I admittedly don’t have much experience

Today, publisher Gun Media revealed to Variety that Friday the 13th: The Game was coming to Nintendo Switch sometime this Spring. This is a very interesting release considering that the game’s developers may not be able to add any new content to Friday the 13th: The Game because of a legal battle regarding the rightful
We’ve known for awhile now that there is a Metal Gear Solid movie in the works that is being directed by Kong: Skull Island’s Jordan Vogt-Roberts.

There is hardly anything worse for fans of any series to have major plot points spoiled. However, few realize the effects that seeing spoilers pre-release have on content creators and game developers. As Devil May Cry 5 rounds the corner into its release date, famed Capcom Director Hideaki Itsuno is asking that everyone be respectful to the
There’s been a lot of rumblings about The Last of Us Part II in recent weeks, including (suspect) “leaks” of a 2019 release date. And while so much of the game is still a mystery, some relatively unnoticed character art surfaced from the Lead Character Artist at Naughty Dog. And it certainly shows the power that the
It’s been two years since the launch of Nintendo Switch, and what better way to celebrate then tribute to (arguably) the console’s best game? And that is exactly what fans are doing, sharing some pretty amazing Disney-like art of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild crossed with Twilight Princess. Resurfaced earlier today on The Legend of Zelda‘s

Anthem has been in the news a lot recently. Some news has been good, however, a majority of the news has been filled with harsh criticisms of the game. Even though the internet has seemingly set this game on fire, I am here to give some PC players a bit of good news if they didn’t know this
A few months ago, before the annual Game Awards, rumors began to circulate regarding the existence of either a brand new Crash Team Racing game or a remake of the original on the first PlayStation.

The Good Smile Company announced that they’ll be creating a new Nendoroid based on Princess Zelda from The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.

Everyone loves Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse. The award-winning film even struck a chord with video game guru and film connoisseur Hideo Kojima where he took to Twitter to express his enjoyment. He also said the theme of the film “is like TPP+DS,” yet again giving us another tease for his upcoming game Death Stranding. Here is the
