Call of Duty used to be the gaming franchise that most people could enjoy in some way, shape, or form. Whether it be the action-packed campaign, its fast-paced multiplayer, or its tight controls, there was generally something for everyone in each game. In the past few years however, particularly when it delved into the sci-fi genre, Call

In the last two weeks, Goichi Suda (aka “Suda51”) formally revealed the next project that he and his team at Grasshopper Manufacture are working on, and as hinted at earlier in the year, it is of course the next title in the No More Heroes franchise. The Switch-exclusive game, which is called Travis Strikes Again: No More Heroes, once
In the first Destiny shaders were basically their own individual items that you could equip and unequip at any time, with rarity and all. Destiny 2 has changed that: while shaders are still their own individual items, they can only be applied to one item at a time and once they’re used they’re taken out of your inventory. So
On Thursday, Splatoon 2 received its latest update. It brought about various fixes to a lot of issues found in a few different game modes, as well as some other small changes to minor things in the game. Some of the main focus points are changes to Salmon Run enemies and player glitches, special gauge changes in
This week, Logan is joined by Tomas and Michael to run down a variety of games they each have been playing. Some of these include Destiny 2, Madden 18, Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy, Shovel Knight, Yakuza 0, and a handful of others. After plugging some recent content on the website relating to PAX West,
This is going to sound strange, but if you have a love for cars and anime girls and would like to see those two combined into one video game, then developers Bergsala Lightweight and Tamsoft have you covered with Drive Girls. Tamsoft is known for creating action titles in Japan that often receive western releases,
Today NIS America released a brand new trailer of its upcoming game Danganronpa V3: Killing Harmony. The video introduces more of its ultimate students, which are basically all sorts of weiros. We get to see and hear ultimate robot K1-B0, ultimate entomologist Gonta Gokuhara, ultimate detective Shuichi Saihara and ultimate cosplayer Tsumugi Shirogane, On top of those
On August 8, 2012, a little over seven years ago, Emeirc Thoa and Audrey Leprince (formerly of Ubisoft and Quantic Dream respectively) founded an independent studio in Montpellier, France, called The Game Bakers, which was appropriately located right above a bakery. To date, The Game Bakers have shipped five games in total, but it wasn’t
Whenever I see a puzzle game, I always get concerned. While they can be incredibly fun and offer some of the best gaming experiences out there, they are usually done poorly. And not in terms of gameplay, but in the difficulty curve (or lack thereof). Make it too hard, and players won’t want to keep
Today Bandai Namco released a new trailer of its upcoming game Little Witch Academia: Chamber of Time. The trailer gives an overview of the title’s gameplay, starting with the exploration part in the Luna Nova Academy, where protagonist Akko and her friends will take quests, interact with other characters, and eventually discover keys for the Orologium,
It’s been a little over six years since we saw the last entry in the Dissidia Final Fantasy series come overseas to the West. Dissidia Final Fantasy NT brings a slew of new changes to the formula from the PSP era of games, but it still retains most of the gameplay mechanics from the original
The Utawarerumono series is about as niche as it gets when it comes to games developed by Aquaplus to get a western release. However, the series has gained overseas popularity due to the manga and anime adaptations of the series. Earlier this this year, Atlus published the second of the three part Utawarerumono visual novel SRPG
Since its debut in 2014, the Azure Striker Gunvolt series has catered to the 2D-action platforming audience. However, some might say that limiting the series to the 3DS and releasing an unpopular port of Azure Striker Gunvolt to PC has done the series a disservice when the console market begs for a good retro-action game.
Earlier this week at the NBA 2K18 event dubbed “Run the Neighborhood,” games press, YouTubers, and “influencers” got a first-ever look at the star-studded basketball title running on a Nintendo Switch. Of course, developer 2K wasn’t simply going to let us play on the Switch; the catch was they held the demo at a barbershop in
Long past the days since we knew it as the “NX” and heard whispers of it being a “handheld/console hybrid,” the Nintendo Switch has now passed six months since the system came rushing into stores…and was quickly snatched up from the shelves soon after. Leading up to its launch, lots of uncertainty surrounded the Nintendo
Enter the Law, the Breakers, and a rivalry that leads to nothing but death. As I stumbled into my first match with full intentions of doing harm to others, things quickly change for the worse when you play Uplink. After confidently loading up my class and entering an area where gravity does not exist, my
On this week’s ShockCast, Logan is joined by Noah Buttner and Tomas Franzese to talk about the recent Destiny 2 preview coverage on the site and the feeling that they each have a week before the game’s release. Tomas then runs down a variety of games he has reviewed lately ranging from Madden 18 to
Eyes up, Guardians. The age of Destiny 2 is nearly upon us. For this week’s Community Playdate, we’re giving the original Destiny a proper send off. Join the DualShockers team this Thursday night as we launch one final raid on Oryx, the Taken King. It’s time for another DualShockers Community Playdate! We’re Playing: The King’s Fall Raid
The Ys series has once again entered our lives, but I feel like the action RPG hasn’t made as huge of a dent in the gaming community as it probably should have, perhaps that will soon change. The series that began in 1987 is now celebrating it’s 30 year anniversary with the release of Ys
In a tiny hamlet, the King has gone mad with power — believing that the purveyors of older religions have welcomed a curse on the town, resulting in the birth of soulless children. Unfortunately, the village’s woes don’t end there. A plight has infested the grain crop, and the townspeople are now so obsessed with
For months now, I have been ironically claiming that Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle is my most anticipated game of the year. When I first began hearing rumors earlier this year about a crossover title featuring gaming’s most beloved icon, Mario, and the often criticized, frequently annoying Rabbids, I thought the results would end up being
The dust has settled since the release of Final Fantasy XIV‘s latest expansion Stormblood, and it’s time to reconnect with Director Naoki Yoshida and hear directly from the Lion’s mouth how things are going at Square Enix. Alongside Yoshida-san, we also had a chat at Gamescom with Main Scenario Writer Natsuko Ishikawa, who is certainly a major
In no shape or form would I describe the PlayStation VR as “elegant.” And that is by no means a dig to the (relatively) budget virtual reality headset — I still love any opportunity I get to break out REZ: Infinite or Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes. With that said, anyone familiar with the actual hardware itself knows
Last week I was flown out and put up at a hotel by Activision so that I could spend three days playing Destiny 2. During my almost 30 hours with the game I got to experience a great deal of Earth’s new patrol area the European Dead Zone, or “EDZ” for short. Adventure: Unsafe at
While games like Overwatch and Street Fighter are normally what cross your mind when you think of an eSport, developer and producer Andrey Korotkov wants you to imagine something else: Mushroom Wars 2. Speaking with DualShockers’ Co-Founder Joel Taveras at PLAY NYC, Korotkov discusses his excitement in developing a sequel to Mushroom Wars, once a PlayStation 3 indie wonder. This time
Developer My Dog Zorro’s Linelight has been out over half a year, but that didn’t stop solo-developer Brett Taylor from representing the title at PLAY NYC. The game, which originally release on PS4 and PC, recently made its way to mobile in a effort to bring in a larger audience. Linelight is a fantastic puzzle game, itself being
You likely have never heard of upcoming iOS mobile game Bouncy Smash — in fact, no one outside the developer, his friends and his mother did until PLAY NYC. At least, that is what Creative Director Zac Dixon attests to when we caught up with him at the New York-centric gaming convention. Speaking with DualShockers Co-Founder, Joel Taveras,
WWE 2K18 is set to release this year for every major console platform. The WWE Universe will get the chance to play as their favorite WWE Superstars of all-time. Wrestlers from every era will be making an appearance including WWE Legend, Kurt Angle. At a pre-SummerSlam WWE 2K18 event, DualShockers’ Co-Founder Al Zamora was lucky
There is no doubt that Yuke’s, Visual Concepts and 2K Games are creating a professional wrestling experience that the WWE universe will appreciate. From the growing list of playable WWE Superstars to the recreated in-game entrances, it is apparent that the developers and publisher are attempting to create an authentic experience. In an interview with
Today, Bandai Namco released the Gamescom trailer of its upcoming air combat game Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown. This time around we get a glimpse at the story from a point of view leaning more towards the Kingdom of Erusea. After all, we already know that the narrative of the game is going to be
