During the heyday of battle royale last year, when PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds and Fortnite were novelties to the general public, everyone was right to assume that the genre would take off and inspire numerous clones in the near future. A year later there are several of these for sure — probably in early access on Steam

As announced earlier in the year, Sony has created their very own PlayStation Classic in response to Nintendo’s NES Classic and SNES Classic releases, bundling 20 PlayStation 1 “classics” onto a smaller version of the original console and with the original DualShock controllers. However, personally (and for a lot of others out there) I find
The Game Awards 2018 is happening today, December 8, 2018, in just over an hour. For those of you looking to watch the show in order to see all of the new announcements live, here’s where you can catch the livestream as well as everything else you need to know before it begins. Shortly after
With today’s launch of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, players around the world will finally have the chance to duke it out once again with their favorite Nintendo characters (and more), but this time around with the largest character roster in a Smash Bros. game yet. However, one of the biggest changes in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is that rather
December 13 will mark the North American launch of RollerCoaster Tycoon Adventures for Nintendo Switch. It is the first console entry for the series in quite some time following in the footsteps of the mediocre RollerCoaster Tycoon World as well as the more well-liked and successful RollerCoaster Tycoon Touch. RollerCoaster Tycoon Adventures seems to be
Super Smash Bros. is one of Nintendo’s industry titans, as it stands among Mario and Zelda as a powerhouse IP for the company. Outside of the all-star line-up and stellar game direction from walking video game encyclopedia Masahiro Sakurai, the ravenous fan-base has propelled the series to meteoric heights. The series has kept a 17-year-old
The Game Awards 2018, hosted by Geoff Keighley, just concluded. Along with numerous awards being given out, several new game announcements were spliced in throughout the show. That being said, the announcements that left the greatest impact were the World Premieres for new games that took place during the event. While some of the PC,
The Game Awards 2018 is happening on December 6, 2018. Here’s where you can watch it and everything else you need to know before it starts. In recent years The Game Awards (hosted by Geoff Keighley) have been as much of a place for reveals as they have been for recognizing the most important titles in
Mutant Year Zero: Road to Eden is a strategy game from Funcom and The Bearded Ladies Consulting that I’ve had my eye on since its reveal earlier this year and one I have been looking forward to since I played it at E3 2018. As an avid fan of the XCOM series, the game caught
In 2017, a small video game development team from Canada called Causal Bit Games took their project Battle Princess Madelyn to Kickstarter to raise $60,000 (CAD). In only a few days the project had been successfully funded, and the backing kept on growing and growing. In the end, Battle Princess Madelyn ended up hitting $212,665
Growing up, I received a hand-me-down PS2 from my uncle around the age of 8; most of the games he also gave were either too mature for me or just regular sports games. But there was one game that wasn’t like the rest that my mother (thankfully) didn’t keep away, Marvel vs. Capcom 2. I remember
Being deaf, I’ve often made jokes about bad subtitles that are too small to read. Just in the past few years we’ve seen a few examples of how games have stumbled when it comes to implementing proper subtitles, such as Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus with its tiny subtitles that blend, or walls of text in Fallout 4.
Today marks the five year anniversary of the release of the Xbox One, and what an interesting and crazy five years it has been to say the least. While Microsoft’s latest console has largely been somewhat divisive and hasn’t come close to the success that the Xbox 360 had, it is still a platform that
The road through Rozhok is stained with blood. Plain wooden crates decorate each side of the street: one, two, three, four, there are five of them. Five small boxes filled with guns, filled with bandages, filled with clothing. The boxes tell stories of intentions; stories of submachine gun-wielding men holding sniper rifle scopes, stories of
As I was browsing my way throughout some great Red Dead Redemption 2 content this weekend, I stumbled across some people harassing a guy who was clearly making up fake spoilers for the game and trying to fabricate leaks for the upcoming Red Dead Online. Then, I thought to myself; “were there any leaks we didn’t
At first glance, one would think that Valiant Hearts: The Great War is just a cute 2D puzzle game. The art style comes across as very cartoonish, characters are extremely expressive and wave their limbs around to show emotions, and there is so much gibberish that if you close your eyes, you might think that you are
I’ve been recently making my way through the newest Tomb Raider game, Shadow of the Tomb Raider. I’ve been spending more of my game time pondering why I’m not digging this entry as much as the previous two than actually focusing on the digital world in front of me. I usually take that as a
The Electronic Entertainment Expo (or simply, E3) is one of the largest trade fairs in the world, and is an event that millions of gamers from around the world tune in every year in anticipation of their favourite companies announcing brand new titles. That’s why Sony announcing PlayStation’s absence from the trade show this week
The recent trailer for the upcoming major motion picture Pokémon: Detective Pikachu marks the first big-screen outing for the Pokémon series in a live-action format. Featuring a compelling storyline and a wisecracking electric mouse voiced by Deadpool’s Ryan Reynolds, the movie looks set to be jam-packed full of wholesome family fun. However, given the “catch ’em
One of the latest trailers for the upcoming twin-releases Pokémon: Let’s Go, Pikachu! and Pokémon: Let’s Go, Eevee! struck something of a chord with me. If you haven’t seen it yet, it’s a relatively short video that depicts a group of friends meeting up in an urban setting to play the games together. On their
UPDATE (11/11/18): During yesterday’s Inside Xbox: X018 Special, Microsoft revealed that it had acquired two more studios: Obsidian Entertainment and inXile Entertainment. As such, I have updated this article to reflect that and give insight about these newly acquired studios. During Microsoft’s E3 Press Conference, the large publisher announced the acquisition of five brand new
Microsoft just held their Inside Xbox: X018 Special, which was home to a wide variety of interesting announcements regarding upcoming lineup of games, DLC, and updates. That being said, six specific announcements stood out from the pack, so I wanted to highlight them here for those of you that may have missed this latest Inside
This past weekend, I completed the main story for Red Dead Redemption 2. Yes, I know, the game is massive and most people have spent a majority of their time exploring its vastness. It might just be a bit too much video game for some. I have (for better or worse) instead opted to power
Like everyone else in the world, I’ve been playing Rockstar’s newest game, Red Dead Redemption 2. Only after playing for roughly 10 hours, I can tell this is a very special game. It’s a cliché to say it, but it truly is one of the most immersive and impressive games I have ever played. So, why
Last weekend saw the reveal of Diablo Immortal, a brand new game in Blizzard’s long-running series. Unfortunately, it was met with overwhelming negative reception upon its reveal by fans, as it was for iOS and Android and announced when fans were expecting a Diablo remaster or the next main entry in the franchise, Diablo 4. As
Surprising no one, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt remains an intimidating game more than three years after release. The first act, split into three major sections across the regions of Velen, Novigrad, and Skellige, can take over a hundred hours to see every icon on the map, complete every quest, and craft tons of potions,
Every pre-release period before a Super Smash Bros. game is a unique moment in time, and nothing exemplifies that more than this morning’s Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Direct, which was a bizarre 40-minute journey. With every informed viewer either firmly denying or clutching onto the supposed “Grinch leak” that promised characters like Geno, Isaac, and
Welcome to the first official Nintendo Switch DualShockers Definitives list! This week has been a hard one for DualShockers staff, thanks to much arguing and nit-picking over which games in the amazing Nintendo Switch library make the Top 10. If you missed the original post, here is a quick TLDR on what this is all about:
When we think of horror games, our minds usually swing immediately to the survival end of the genre’s spectrum with classic titles such as Resident Evil, Silent Hill, and more recently the Dead Space series. Rightly so, too, as these are phenomenal franchises and well-deserving of their placements as the pinnacles of horror within the video
Following our character creation of a charismatic mafiosa dictator with a love of Wes Anderson-esque pastels, it was time to jump into the first mission of the Tropico 6 campaign — starting off in the spot where you first meet series favorite sycophant, Penultimo! To check out what exactly happened (and how we stumbled through the game’s control scheme),
