As 2019 comes to a close, DualShockers and our staff are reflecting on this year’s batch of games and what were their personal highlights within the last year. Unlike the official Game of the Year 2019 awards for DualShockers, there are little-to-no-rules on our individual Top 10 posts. For instance, any game — not just
Editorials
With the decade quickly coming to a wrap, it is time for DualShockers’ annual Game of the Year awards selection. In all my time with this publication, this game of the year has been the most contentious — a fact that speaks to the many fantastic titles that came out this year. But whether you stan Fire
This year has been an odd year for gaming, hasn’t it? We may not have followed a boy and his godly father or became a cowboy in one of the most realized worlds in a video game, but 2019 was filled with bangers, some of which I will remember for years to come. With it
Welcome back, everyone! This is resident DualShockers Editor-in-Chief, Lou Contaldi, and it is time for the annual bloodbath… err– celebrating the best and the brightest of gaming in 2019! While it is tradition to hold a separate poll for Readers’ Choice for both Game of the Year 2019 and Most Anticipated Game of 2020, we are
PS4 exclusive Shin Sakura Taisen released on December 12 in Japan. The game is temporarily titled Project Sakura Wars in the west and will launch here in Spring 2020. We’ve played through the demo, so now we have done a similar Let’s Play video for the first chapter of Project Sakura Wars, live translating on
The Game Awards 2019 is just a few short hours away. With none of its announcements leaking ahead of time, the big reveals from the show seem to be shrouded in mystery. However, some industry folks have come out, giving us an idea of what we can expect. We here at DualShockers have been pondering
We are less than a week away from The Game Awards (which is happening on December 12), and the announcement that a lot of people are expecting to see is who the next DLC fighter will be for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. Last year at the show, we found out that Joker from Persona 5
I really don’t know how to start this review. Typically, I like to give some background on my history with the property I’m reviewing, if I have any, and then tell you what I think of the game in a short few sentences. But with Disney Tsum Tsum Festival, even with my well-known, copious knowledge
Next week, Yacht Club Games will finally release Shovel Knight: King of Cards and Shovel Knight Showdown, the final two hefty pieces of free DLC for the indie darling. It will mark the end of over five years of support for that title that put Yacht Club Games on the map. While things are looking
Purely on a whim, I played through every Halo game in the span of a couple weeks simply because I could, and because I never had before. While I owned an original Xbox, I played Star Wars: Republic Commando more than I did a Halo title (thanks ESRB). It wasn’t until The Master Chief Collection,
To celebrate its 25th anniversary today, PlayStation announced that it had received a new award from Guinness World Records, the record-keeping company responsible for those massive books you probably used to buy at your elementary school’s book fair. The award was given to honor PlayStation as the best-selling home console brand of all-time compared to
Black Friday officially “begins” later today (though the deals get earlier and earlier every year) and I’m sure most of you, as well as myself, are planning to take advantage of some incredibly good deals throughout the weekend. There is a reason why Black Friday is usually the best time of the year to stock
Though it might have felt just like yesterday, in just over a month the 2010s are coming to a close. In that span of ten years a lot has changed around the world: some for the better, some for the worse. But in spite of all that, one thing that arguably changed for the better
Papa John ain’t happy, folks. The former CEO of one of America’s biggest pizza chains has finally spoken out after being ousted from the company last year that he built and he doesn’t like the way things are going on without him. In a new interview, Papa said that current Papa John’s Pizza CEO Robert
Throughout my childhood, you usually would find me in one of two places: in front of a game console at home or at my local arcade playing Mortal Kombat or House of the Dead. One of the most appealing factors of games like House of the Dead was the use of the light-gun. Being able
If you didn’t already know, there’s a new Star Wars game releasing tomorrow that some folks may or may not be excited about. Up until now, reviews for Respawn’s Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order haven’t dropped at any outlet, but that will be changing tonight. The review embargo for the game lifts later tonight at
Editor’s Note: This editorial contains spoilers for Catherine: Full Body. If you haven’t played through the full game yet, we would recommend coming back to this editorial after finishing it. Back in September, Atlus released Catherine: Full Body, an updated version of their niche dating simulator and puzzle game from 2011. It comes with a
While it’s only been out for just a few days, there is already a lot that I’ve had to unpack from my time with Death Stranding. Like anyone else that’s played it, I’ve noticed that there is a lot to wrap your head around at the beginning of the game, from the 10 hours or
I played a fair amount of Death Stranding this weekend. I delivered a whole lot of packages, I threw some poop grenades at some oil-whale-things, and I maxed out my social link with Geoff Keighley. I also smashed a Monster Energy drink or two with my own version of Sam Porter Bridges and I gotta admit
Whenever fighting game characters are added to Super Smash Bros., it’s always a bit jarring. It’s not that Nintendo’s popular franchise is not a fighting game, but it definitely deviates from the traditional stylings of fighting games like Mortal Kombat or Street Fighter. Despite that, Masahiro Sakurai and Sora Ltd. have brought several new fighting
The skies shiver with fans’ excited squeals every time news on Nintendo’s upcoming Animal Crossing: New Horizons comes about. And why wouldn’t they? You’ve all spent years playing the previous installments in the popular series on the DS, the GameCube, even your mobile phone. All those years of building relationships with your digital townsfolk and
Fairy Tail‘s RPG adaptation was surprisingly announced by Koei Tecmo worldwide in early September. Fairy Tail initially started in 2006, and yet, Hiro Mashima’s manga didn’t get many game adaptations in the past, and none of them ever left Japan. The most surprising aspect was how despite Fairy Tail being a shonen manga, Koei Tecmo
When it comes to 3D platformers, the Nintendo Switch doesn’t have a huge catalog of titles to choose from. Popular games in the genre like Super Mario Odyssey and Crash Bandicoot are all but oblivious choices to pick up on the console-handheld hybrid, but I think the recent port of A Hat in Time is
CI Games and its Sniper Ghost Warrior series have a lot to prove with Sniper Ghost Warrior Contracts. Despite some moderate success in the previous console generation, the Sniper Ghost Warrior series stumbled hard out of the gate this gen. Sniper Ghost Warrior 3 was a bit too massive in scope for the Polish developer
Killer Queen Black just released last month and we thought very highly of it in our own review. Now, we’re giving you a chance here at DualShockers to win a copy of the game for yourself. Over the next few days, we’ll be running a giveaway here on DualShockers that will allow you to win a
It feels weird to be talking about Skullgirls. Don’t get me wrong—there are plenty of nice things to say about it. In addition to being an absolute blast to play, it has a vibrant and crisp visual style unlike anything else, an infectious soundtrack, and some of the best character designs I’ve ever seen. Skullgirls
In a blog post in 2016, Swedish developer Simogo talked about “Project Night Road,” which began production after launching the Wii U version of Year Walk. After working on several games for PC, Mac and iOS, the team wanted to do something bigger, faster and more direct. Several years later, we have Sayonara Wild Hearts,
For all of the months of build-up, here we are: the sober day after E3 2019 and in full-on conference withdrawal. However, with all of our staff traveling back, our votes tallied, and our awards distributed, it’s time that we showcase what was DualShockers’ top picks in Los Angeles for this year’s E3. And what
Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order debuted its gameplay first look at EA Play during E3, and with it we got around 15 minutes of the game in action. Throughout that time, we saw a variety of things that will please fans of the iconic franchise: Saw Gerrera from Star Wars Rogue One returns, we will
I heard my coworkers rave about Dying Light 2 after they checked it out at E3 last year, but I never really understood what all the fuss was about. I had played the original around its launch but fell off soon after despite Techland’s lasting support for the game. That being said, after checking out
