For some time now, Pete Hines has been the face of Bethesda Softworks, one of gaming’s biggest third-party publishers. If you’ve been familiar with Bethesda in any capacity or have watched any of the company’s E3 presentations the past few years, you’ve likely been exposed to Hines and his straight-shooting, down-to-Earth attitude.

In recent years, Iron Galaxy Studios has become known for their work on fighting games like Killer Instinct and Divekick. That being said, the studio’s newest game Extinction breaks that mold by being an action game where players fighting giant ogres called the Ravenii. I have always found it interesting to see developers mainly known
Many consider the Muv-Luv series one of the best visual novel series of all time, and with good reason: the first game starts as an apparently innocuous romantic adventure set in your usual Japanese high school, and then pulls the rug from under your feet with a radical one-eighty, turning into a tragic and epic
Travis Strikes Again: No More Heroes is the latest game from the much-beloved director Goichi “Suda51” Suda that features the return of the titular character Travis Touchdown. After over a decade away from leading a No More Heroes project, Suda51 has returned to one of his most popular franchises, but this time is putting a bit of a
Hearthstone has had quite the journey since its launch in 2014. The popular card game is now in its fourth year still getting content support from the team with its upcoming expansion, The Witchwood. Adding new abilities, cards, and game modes are more than enough to reel in players new and old. At PAX East
While I am not typically the biggest fan of the RTS genre, Nintendo’s more puzzle-focused take on the strategy — Pikmin — has always stuck with me. Micromanaging cute little alien creatures, each with unique abilities, clicked with me more than “pure” RTS games, and I still consider it one of Nintendo’s most underrated series. Unfortunately, we
Most of you probably noticed that here at DualShockers we love Japanese games. As a matter of fact, we love them so much that we realized that we don’t talk about them enough. The DualShockers’ Weebcast is basically our attempt to make up for that. For the longest time, the team at DualShockers has worked
Developer 11 bit studios has made its name on creating experiences that challenge players’ morality and decision-making as much as their skills. We last saw this in titles like the studio’s harrowing This War of Mine, and now with the upcoming city-building and society management sim Frostpunk, the studio is enhancing that sense of making hard decisions
Platforming games have been having a bit of a renaissance in the past decade thanks to inventive puzzlers like Braid, to brutally difficult platformers like Ori and the Blind Forest and Super Meat Boy, and more. With a combination of lush visuals, challenging levels, and an exceptionally unique gameplay mechanic, Bishop Games’ Light Fall looks to continue that tradition
It finally happened. I finally played Below. Even with the lofty expectations that I had for Capybara Games’ upcoming adventure game, after spending a couple of hours with the game, I am more excited than I ever have been before. “Below is difficult, but very fair.” I played in total about two hours of Below, and I feel like
In 2016, HTC and Oculus VR released their virtual reality headsets, driving innovation in the medium not seen since the 90’s. In the past couple years, VR has taken off like a rocket with HTC being what I believe the frontrunner in the VR headset market — at least, based on the hardware and performance.
Retro-style platformers have been a prominent genre in gaming to the point of oversaturation. However, a few of these games — like Shovel Knight, Axiom Verge, and Celeste, just to name a few — have genuinely risen to prominence bringing fresh ideas to the genre. After going hands-on with The Messenger at PAX East, I am sure
When it comes to new creative takes on “Metroidvania” style gameplay, DrinkBox Studios’ Guacamelee! was among one of the most creative in the genre with its inspirations from Mexican culture and luchador wrestling. Thankfully, the game’s unique take on the style of gameplay from Metroid and Castlevania didn’t go unnoticed, and with the upcoming Guacamelee! 2 coming later this year, players
Steredenn: Binary Stars has made its way onto the Nintendo Switch, and it offers a compelling pick-up and go shoot’em up experience that’s a joy to play on the handheld-console hybrid. Boasting a retro art style and a sick electronic heavy metal soundtrack, the game fits right at home on a Nintendo platform. Battles are flashy
As someone that grew up alongside Pokémon for the vast majority of my life, seeing the series branch out into other genres aside from its stable of “catch ’em all” RPGs has always been one of my favorite ways to engage with the series as I’ve gotten older. While Pokémon has evolved (yes, pun intended) into other genres
Atelier Lydie & Suelle: The Alchemists and the Mysterious Paintings is finally out, and if you aren’t playing it yet, you now have the opportunity to win a digital PS4 copy of the game, kindly offered by Koei Tecmo. If you want a chance (or several) to win, all you have to do is to hit
The Muv-Luv series is considered by many the pinnacle of the visual novel genre, mostly due to its complex and dramatic stories, its interesting characters, and the top-notch mecha design that you wouldn’t expect in this kind of game. Yet, while its popularity certainly spiked after the successful Kickstarter that resulted in the western release
We asked on twitter and the answer came back strong: Fortnite Battle Royale! Well hey… why not? Everyone else is doing it! Even Drake. It’s time for another DualShockers Community Playdate! Once again, we’re playing Fortnite Battle Royale on PS4. As we’re sure everyone knows by now, this game is absolutely free to play. The microtransactions are completely
Next to Nintendo, Rare is responsible for my love of video games. Banjo Kazooie, Battletoads, and Killer Instinct are some of my favorites in their respective genres. Every game I have played from the British developer has this charm that you can’t help but smile at with gameplay that is both creative and fun. These
For nearly a year and a half, Square Enix’s Final Fantasy XV has been a console exclusive for the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. Although I have played both versions of this game, I have always been anxiously waiting for this game to be ported over to PC, so when the game was announced to be
The World Conqueror series has made the transition from mobile to… mobile — well, handheld. The Switch iteration doesn’t do much different, and in no way pushes the RTS genre in any way. But if you’re looking for a bite-sized strategy game on the handheld-hybrid, look no further, World Conqueror X might just scratch a strategic itch. If you’re
Today legendary Ultima creator Richard Garriott and his team at Portalarium finally brought a five-year-long journey to fruition with the release of Shroud of the Avatar: Forsaken Virtues. In order to know more about the game, I had a chat with Garriott himself, who also showed me the really impressive improvements the game received over the past
Ever since the beginning of the Arland Trilogy in 2010, I have been a fan of the Atelier series. The game provides a sense of relaxation that other RPGs don’t offer due to their emotionally heavy story or dark setting. The Atelier series has seen many iterations and improvements to the core systems over the years but
Devil May Cry has always been a series I hold dear to my heart; the PlayStation 2 is my all time favorite console, and I retain many fond memories of Sony’s sixth generation console. Although games like Bully, Okami, and Shadow of the Colossus are usually games I would say are my top 10 favorite PS2 games of
FuRyu has a rather interesting catalog of games. As a developer, they seem to come up with unique gameplay features and characters, as seen in Lost Dimension and Caligula. However, these titles seem to miss the mark on other gameplay systems that players demand and the games lose their chance to reach a more broad
Rarely can any game series capture the spirit of adventure in quite the same way that the Far Cry series is able to. Often placed in novel environments and pitted against insurmountable odds, Ubisoft has long-since studied the art of open-world game design and settled on a generally satisfying formula for the Far Cry series: climb tower, reveal missions, liberate
Avast ye scurvy dogs, it’s time to hit the Sea of Thieves! Usually we do an PS4 game for our community night, but tonight we’re switching consoles. Gather round for an Xbox One community night. Or PC. A bunch of us will be playing on PC. Ain’t crossplay a (potentially) beautiful thing? It’s time for DualShockers’ Community
Josef Fares, the writer and director of A Way Out, spoke about his game during The Game Awards 2017 and claimed, “If you play the game from the beginning to the end and you see what it is, it’s impossible [that] you don’t like it.” It’s a strong statement from a very passionate developer and more than that;
After years of waiting, the day of the return of Valkyria Chronicles has finally come. While western gamers will have to wait until the fall, Valkyria Chronicles 4 has been released in Japan today. In order to celebrate such a momentous occasion, we grabbed a copy in Akihabara, Tokyo, and we unwrapped it on camera
When I think back on love — specifically first love — there are a ton of complicated emotions that crop up: happiness, fear, uncertainty, awkwardness, and that old cliche of getting “butterflies in your stomach.” It’s appropriate that love conjures up so many of those feelings (especially when I think back on my own experiences),
