Editor’s Note: As we’ll dive into the explanations behind each of the Kingdom Hearts games’ titles and meanings (or try to), some spoilers will follow for the past series entries before Kingdom Hearts III‘s release. Kingdom Hearts III is dangerously close to release, and like a bunch of high school students cramming the night before a test

I recently sat down to try out Mortal Kombat 11 at the recent reveal event this past week, and boy was there a lot to take in. Of course, there are plenty of moments of blood and gore to witness — I mean one of the characters literally uses blood as a weapon. But what was
While Power Rangers games have never found solid footing on modern consoles, nWay, Hasbro, and Lionsgate are looking to change that sentiment with Power Rangers: Battle for the Grid. Having worked with the franchise before on Power Rangers: Legacy Wars for iOS and Android, nWay is looking to transition their love of the brand to
Hey Electronic Arts and EA Sports, want some unsolicited advice? Don’t worry — this isn’t about your use (or lack thereof) of the Star Wars license, nor a screed about microtransactions in game. No, this is something much simpler. Make NHL’s most beloved mascot, crown-jewel, and breakaway success–Gritty–the cover star of NHL 20. And you should make it
When it comes to most racing games or simulations, you typically end up falling into the camp of striving for either realism and a more “serious” take on the sport, or aim for a more arcade-style experience that highlights fun and accessibility over making pixel-perfect recreations. With the Trials series from RedLynx and Ubisoft, however, there’s
Optimism is becoming a scarce commodity. The year 2018 was particularly one rife with internal anxieties, external fears, and existential dread. As that year progressed, I kept thinking about a talk I saw in person one year ago—it was Waypoint’s Austin Walker at the NYU Game Center, about where video games belong in a time
Mortal Kombat 11 is getting a lot of changes, but not necessarily just in its visuals. MK11 is looking to shape things up in the combat for a more controlled experience, a somewhat departure from Mortal Kombat X. Recently, we were lucky enough to head down to LA for the Mortal Kombat 11 Reveal to
It seems like a super obvious thing to be excited for Kingdom Hearts III. When I was asked to whip up this editorial, I hopped onto it like Sora hopping around on a Dreameater. As I sit down to write it through, a swirl of emotions takes hold. I like to joke that I have
Resident Evil has been one of my favorite franchises since I was a kid, even when I was terrified of its creepy zombies. I still fondly remember the moment when I was around 11 or 12 and rented the remaster of the original Resident Evil, only to immediately return it to my local Blockbuster the next day
Hasbro, Lionsgate, and developer nWay were all set to announce Power Rangers: Battle for the Grid next Tuesday, January 22. Unfortunately, the YouTube channel Dante Nintendo Switch World posted the trailer and press release early, leading to the game being revealed on the same day Mortal Kombat 11 was fully unveiled. Still, nWay took this early
During the Mortal Kombat 11 reveal event this week, we got a look at a small chunk of the cast for the anticipated fighting game. New faces like the time-shifting Geras, as well as old favorites like Baraka, will certainly make things super violent; probably more than ever, since it seems that each iteration of NetherRealm Studios’
If you are developing a game, whether it be a development team of under ten people or a hugely expensive title spanning several worldwide offices, it’s likely that your game is going to be delayed. Whether it be because of missed milestones, a packed release week, or you’re a billion dollar company that didn’t have
Ubisoft is preparing Tom Clancy’s The Division 2 for its launch in the spring, and we’re seeing more of the game now than we ever had. With a story trailer having been released, there is still much to be said about the game’s online multiplayer, specifically the player-versus-player aspect of Tom Clancy’s The Division 2.
With Tales of Vesperia: Definitive Edition releasing last week, there’s a good chance this is your first time adventuring Terca Lumireis. Other than enjoying one of the better stories from the Tales series, there are a few tips that could really help you out on your adventure with Yuri and the gang. Well, DualShockers has you covered
Drop In/Drop Out returns this week for our first double-digit episode to give you our hottest takes on the latest news. To kick things off, Mike talks about his hatred for YIIK: A Postmodern RPG and Logan shares his love for Travis Strikes Again: No More Heroes. Max then talks about the most recent game he has played
Game development is often a process that lasts several years with teams big and small working hard and chipping away day after day on a title they are truly passionate about. That being said, some games and ports don’t always fit this mold, resulting in quirky, out of the ordinary development timelines. The Nintendo Switch
Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown is a welcome return to the world of Strangereal last seen in Ace Combat 6: Fire of Liberation in 2007. This entry contains the hallmarks of Ace Combat: radio chatter during missions that inform the player on the emotional state and motivations of allies and enemies alike, fantastical superweapons, a
Today during the full Mortal Kombat 11 reveal after its announcement at The Game Awards 2018 we got konfirmation for 5 characters who are new/returning to the franchise. Before today we only had confirmation of Scorpion (because of course) and a darker version of Raiden. Shao Khan is a pre-order bonus that was leaked via
I, like many of you, was definitely disappointed to hear Alien: Isolation’s Amanda Ripley would be returning in a mobile game as opposed to a more conventional console-based sequel. However, I did recently get to go hands-on with Alien: Blackout and I came away with mixed thoughts, most of which were actually positive. Blackout takes the formula of Five Nights At Freddy’s while
Writing about sensitive subjects, like depression or suicide, can be a hard thing to tackle. Eloquently told stories about the human psyche and the effect it can have on you and those around you are typically regarded as some of the best ever, regardless of medium. Works like Blade Runner, Celeste, and The Great Gatsby have told these tales
When I first heard that Onimusha: Warlords was getting released on the current generation of consoles, I was excited. Recalling its bizarre yet intriguing tale of magic, combat, and demonic rituals; I genuinely couldn’t wait to experience it all again. Sitting down in a comfortable chair and grabbing my DualShock 4 as I prepared to
While last week may have just seen the launch of several remasters, game releases will start to kick into full gear this week. Despite still being early in the year, we can expect titles from Capcom, Nintendo, and Bandai Namco Entertainment this week, all of which were heavily requested by fans. After starting on January
There are some fantastic titles that have released over the years that use randomly generated levels such as Dead Cells, The Binding of Isaac, and of course, the classic, Spelunky. The roguelike genre can sometimes be intimidating because many times, you are left within deep areas to explore, and it can leave the player trapped in
I made the jump from Xbox 360 to PlayStation 3 a short while after Tales of Vesperia launched. Having experienced short bits of the game with friends in the past, I was always curious to give the game a go myself. Many fans of the Tales of series regard Vesperia as one of the best entries, and while it ultimately still
I’ve always really enjoyed survival games like 7 Days to Die and The Forest, to name a few. There’s something about that heart pumping atmosphere and the inner desire to see how far you can get by on your own wits and sheer luck without succumbing to hunger, exposure, or getting scoffed by some lurking
As the spiritual successor to Wii Fit, Fitness Boxing has–naturally–flown under the radar. Its release seems to have been aimed at cashing in on those of us who are looking to start off 2019 with a workout routine or, at least, some way to justify our “new year, new me” attitude. But now that reviews
I’ll be blunt from the start and say that Double Cross is a disappointing game. The game is not poorly designed or broken, it even has some good ideas, it’s just painfully unoriginal and ultimately boring. This becomes an even bigger disappointment when you consider how developer 13AM Games really put themselves on the map with Runbow
As I was playing through Bury me, my Love, in one of my interactions with the main character’s wife, Nour, I couldn’t help but catch myself in the moments where I found the game’s text-messaging interface fully believable. There was always that part in the back of my head reminding me that yes, I’m not really
2019 is poised to be a crazy year for gaming full of notable releases, with things finally kicking off this Friday. January 11 houses the release of three notable titles, all of which happen to be remasters of great games. Tales of Vesperia: Definitive Edition, Mario & Luigi: Bowser’s Inside Story + Bowser Jr.’s Journey,
If you are anything like me, you’ve already gotten into some heated debates with friends about the “official” way to play Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. Stock only? No items? Only Final Destination? Thankfully, an official ruleset from the premier Smash Bros. tournament Genesis gives you a quick guide on what rules to follow to determine who is
