Over the past year, WB Games Montreal has been teasing something ominous, and probably connected to Batman. To most, it was never clear what the game could be about, but for those that read Scott Snyder’s New 52 run of Batman comics, the answer was there all along. But recently, a new teaser for the

With the next-generation of consoles, now feels like a good time to look back and reflect. Let’s go back to the beginning of the current-gen: the introduction of the Xbox One and the PS4. These two consoles, although iterations of their predecessors, revolutionized games. PlayStation shifted towards narrative-driven, cinematic experiences that gripped a player with
Final Fantasy and Hiroyasu Shoji, two names I never expected to see together. It’s been four months since Final Fantasy VII Remake launched on PS4 now. Unless you’re an extremely busy person, you’ve probably finished the game now. I’m sure even the most implicated health workers or anti-racism activists, quite busy for obvious reasons for
Due to the coronavirus pandemic, we have seen setback after setback in the gaming industry: events being canceled, news being delayed, and of course, games being pushed to 2021. Halo Infinite is the latest title to make this announcement, and the reception behind it has been relatively mixed. Some find it to be the end-all
Much like the previous two games from Richard Hogg and Ricky Haggett (Hohokum and Wilmot’s Warehouse), I Am Dead oozes offbeat, chill charm with a familiar, relaxing and unique art style. Unlike their last two games, however, it’s much more grounded in reality. And unlike the trailers make it looks like, it’s not some gritty, hyper-realistic
Xbox Game Pass Ultimate with its xCloud game streaming will not be heading to the iOS app store, leaving many iPhone-carrying Xbox players out in the cold. According to Statista, in the US alone, over 45% of smartphone owners are using an iteration of Apple’s iPhone. At almost 50% market share, chances are that just
I’m not going to beat around the bush – The Last of Us Part 2 and Crysis are obviously radically different games. One deals with the cycle of violence that people perpetuate endlessly, dehumanizing their enemies to justify their actions. The other is about big dudes in hyper-advanced suits of armor that snuff life out like it’s just another
After a short break due to a wild summer of video games so far, we’re back with our next iteration of our ongoing “Making a Video Game Hero” series. Thus far, we’ve tackled the Action-Adventure, Platformer, and Sports genres. Today, we dip our toes into the shooter side of things. Now, usually these experiments have
After months of going without any new content–which players have been quite vocal about–Red Dead Online, the multiplayer component of Red Dead Redemption 2, finally got an update. For me, this update marked an opportunity to hop back in my cowboy boots and ride off to the west once more. After maxing out my rank in
Anyone with a brain can point out that the Xbox One was in a losing battle against the PlayStation 4. The Xbox One launch is up there with one of the worst announcements of any piece of tech. That announcement now lives in infamy and set forth a chain reaction that left Microsoft with the
A few weeks ago, Nintendo made the surprise announcement that they were debuting some new Paper Mario: The Origami King gameplay and a new title from WayForward from a franchise that they hadn’t worked on in the past. Given that we haven’t had a formal Nintendo Direct for a while, this immediately made fans excited
A few weeks ago, Nintendo made the surprise announcement that they were debuting some new Paper Mario: The Origami King gameplay and a new title from WayForward from a franchise that they hadn’t worked on in the past.

For the past few years developer Niantic has held Pokemon GO Fest, its annual worldwide gathering for its massive mobile hit Pokemon GO. With a variety of different in-game challenges and activities, alongside the opportunity to catch rare Pokemon, the sense of community and collaboration that Pokemon GO Fest has fostered has turned it into
Earlier this week, thirsty Shin Megami Tensei fans were finally blessed with a glistening oasis. During the Monday Nintendo Mini Direct, Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne HD Remaster was revealed for Nintendo Switch (and PS4) and a brand new trailer for Shin Megami Tensei V was dropped. You can imagine how excited I was, considering
Phantasy Star Online 2 New Genesis is the new update coming to PSO2 in 2021, bringing with it a graphics update and a renewal of the game’s systems. The update celebrates the 20th anniversary of Phantasy Star Online. Sega first revealed New Genesis during Microsoft’s Xbox Series X games showcase on July 23. Seeing it’s
It’s undisputed that Halo 3 was a pretty big game-changer when it released in 2007. It capped off a now-legendary trilogy of games, bringing with it technology that would influence some of the best first-person shooters for years to come. Even now, almost 13 years after the launch of Halo 3, I still find new
What is Phil Spencer up to? Recent eagle-eyed fans have noticed that Microsoft Store has quietly removed the option to purchase 12-month subscriptions to Xbox Live Gold. With a few months away from the launch of Xbox Series X, it seems like a strikingly anti-consumer move — making Xbox gamers purchase more costly 3-month or
I’ll be perfectly honest, the idea for this piece came from the book Designing Games by Tynan Sylvester. Sylvester is one of my favorite developers; he worked on BioShock Infinite, admittedly my least favorite entry in the series, and then went on to found Ludeon Studios, the developers behind RimWorld. His book has little to do with the games he
Over the past week, we have seen numerous popular figureheads in the Smash Bros. community being accused of heinous crimes such as sexual harassment and pedophilia, with even more similar accusations coming about by the day. Earlier this week, however, a new allegation came to light and became the newest hot topic on social media. Greg
Over the last few years, it’s been nearly impossible to avoid hearing about Death Stranding, and for good reason. Everyone in the gaming world seemed interested in what Hideo Kojima would create following his departure from Konami. The game’s teases were brief, mysterious, and widely discussed, leaving people to wonder what its gameplay would look
As the current console generation wraps up, one of the most anticipated games to release is Sucker Punch’s Ghost of Tsushima. Set in 13th century Japan, you play as Jin, a samurai who’s torn between his honor and deviating from samurai tradition. Like Sucker Punch’s other titles, Ghost of Tsushima is an open-world experience where
XCOM was one of the first PC games to hook me. I fell in love with its tense moments, challenging tactics, and base building. I felt horrible when my units died, and screamed with rage when they missed high accuracy attacks. In fact, XCOM was really my introduction into turn-based tactics, a genre that I
It should come as no surprise that there has been a copious amount of hate being thrown around in the wake of The Last of Us Part 2 leaks, but this only grew worse once the game officially released last month. In light of the online hate that Naughty Dog employees received, the company has
Avex and aNCHOR held the Muv-Luv Expo: The Summer of (Muv) Luv event on July 1, revealing multiple new details on Muv-Luv games and projects. It was the biggest Muv-Luv event since the âge 20th anniversary event in October 2019, where Muv-Luv Integrate was announced. Interestingly, one of the biggest shockers about the event wasn’t
The Switch port of Catherine: Full Body is pretty straightforward. It’s the same updated and remixed version of Atlus’ cult classic puzzle game that released last year for the PlayStation 4, but this time packed in with all of its DLC and a few minor extras exclusive (for now) to the Switch. For the most
Ubisoft is finally dipping its toes into the popular battle royale genre with Hyper Scape. Set in a futuristic world and familiar first-person shooting mechanics, it will surely interest players. But will it have any lasting power? We recently spoke with creative director Jean-Christophe Guyot about how the upcoming game will stand out in such
The Tencent Games Annual Conference 2020 happened on June 27, with multiple new announcements from the biggest games company in the world. We’ve rounded up everything below. Metal Slug Code: J (Release Date: 2020) Metal Slug Code: J is coming to iOS and Android in 2020. It’s developed by TiMi Studios of the Tencent group.
The Steam Game Festival – Summer Edition’s first iteration has come and gone, and I feel like it was an overall success. Lots of up and coming games got fresh eyes on them to drum up interest and feedback. I took it upon myself to play huge swathes of them, and I’ve already covered the
Ever since its launch in 2017, Persona 5 was one of those games that haunted my ever-growing backlog. I would tell myself I’d play it and then life would get in the way, other games would release, and school would keep me busy. A part of what made me put this game off for so
Burnout Paradise Remastered on the Switch is excellent. It looks the way you remember it, runs like a dream, and offers a complete package with tons of things to do and cars to collect. But it’s also a port of a two-year old remaster of a 12-year old game, which released at a $49.99 USD
