A few days ago, we asked you to vote for your best waifu and best husbando of 2017, and as always the turnout was great. It always makes me smile when so many of you rally to support even a slightly crazy and tongue-in-cheek initiative like this. Well over a thousand of you voted for their

If you know me, you also know that I don’t really like writing rebuttals. Yet, at times I read something so absurdly inane that my brain starts hurting, and I have to write something about it. Yesterday, I read a quote by Wedbush Securities industry analyst Michael Pachter — with whom I’m sure you’re quite familiar

For this week’s DualShockers Community Game Night, we’re playing The Jackbox Party Pack 4. Jackbox got a great reaction earlier this month, so we’re making it a regular thing.

It’s that time of the year again, and you’re now called to decide DualShockers’ highest annual honor, the Game of the Year 2017 – Reader’s Choice Award. Of course, at DualShockers, we value our opinion but ultimately we’re just a bunch of writers who love games. That’s why our Reader’s Choice Awards have traditionally become

Over the past few days, I have been going in-depth in the history and setting behind Sucker Punch’s upcoming open-world game Ghost of Tsushima. Part 1 of my analysis looked at the Mongol invasions of Japan that surround the events of the game, and Part 2 will take a look at the setting focused on
Since A New Hope first introduced moviegoers to its iconic universe over four decades ago, Star Wars‘ reach and influence has been felt way beyond the movies and into nearly every facet of entertainment imaginable. That of course includes video games, and if there’s one thing that Star Wars fans know, it’s that the franchise has had a
It seems like we always hear of the dreaded online servers of digital video games closing down and resorting to the loss of these games forever (R.I.P. Scott Pilgrim vs. the World: The Game). Recently, many companies have been stepping up to make sure that these digital-only games don’t suffer this fate, such as the
Lumo sells itself on the idea that it’s reviving the isometric puzzle platforming genre. Throughout my time with the game though, I never felt as though I was replaying a lost genre that I never had the chance to experience. I’m 21 years old, so I never got to experience games like Lumo much at all. I
Last year, Bethesda released a reboot of their infamous first-person shooter, DOOM. With the ever-growing popularity of virtual reality gaming, the studio best-known for its massive open-world titles like Fallout, this year the company has decided to port over three of their most successful games from this past decade onto consoles and PC. The first
I got to experience Resident Evil: Revelations way back in 2012 when it launched on the Nintendo 3DS. We’ve come full circle now since both Revelations titles are now available in the Resident Evil Revelations Collection on the Nintendo Switch. Both titles are also available separately on the eShop. Unsurprisingly, the first game is identical in just about every way to
Back in 2016, Sega released the Valkyria Chronicles remaster on PS4, allowing a new generation to experience one of the best JRPGs of the PS3 era. Back then, I wrote an article trying to envision how Valkyria Chronicles 2 and 3 would have looked if they were remastered on the cheap for PS4 and PS Vita.
Sucker Punch has been keeping its upcoming project Ghost of Tsushima under wraps for a long time. Personally, I was entirely convinced that their next game would be a new inFAMOUS, or something still based on superpowers. I was sitting in the audience at Sony’s pre-Paris Games Week press conference when the trailer of Ghost of
On May 17, 2011, Rockstar Games published a neo-noir detective title called L.A. Noire on seventh generation consoles (with a Windows port a few months later). During its initial release, the slow-paced title reached critical acclaim and was one of the more ambitious titles released that year. Over six years later, Rockstar Games decided to re-release
This year, Bethesda has launched two new versions of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim — one for Nintendo’s hybrid console, the Nintendo Switch, as well as a VR port for the PlayStation 4. On top of that, The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim VR also serves as the first of three VR titles released by Bethesda this year (with
Star Wars Battlefront II‘s release made headlines for the temporary removal of the pervasive microtransactions scheme that caused a large controversy among gamers. Yet, they aren’t gone forever, and they will return in some form after the development team changes their inner workings. At the moment, we do not know how. In recent times, the
I was a bit hesitant when I first heard that Injustice 2 was coming to PC. Don’t get me wrong, Injustice 2 is one of may favorite games of this year so far, but the PC ports of both fighting games and DC titles from WB haven’t had the best track record. Fortunately, this port ran
RiME is a wonderful game in the Nintendo Switch’s handheld mode. I’ll go as far to say it’s the perfect game to get nestled into bed with and play in short or long bursts. I found my time with the game to be sort of therapeutic, to some degree. RiME isn’t a stressful title, and none of its
[Editor’s Note: We will be waiting until servers have gone live to the general public this Friday before posting our final review of Star Wars Battlefront II. A few days after this time, we will publish our official review with our score. The multiplayer portion of our time with Battlefront II took place at a review event hosted
The Flame in the Flood is another fine addition to the Nintendo Switch’s library this year. If you’re looking for a survival game on the handheld-console hybrid that isn’t Minecraft, Flame in the Flood is definitely worth checking out, as it manages to mix some very unique survival and roguelike mechanics that set it apart from other titles in
Last year, id Software and Bethesda Softworks brought back DOOM — one of the most notable series in gaming history that revolutionized the first-person shooter genre. The only word to describe how well it actually turned out is “miraculous.” With no exception, it is the perfect modern interpretation of the classic. While it brings back some
