You probably know the name Cloudgine as the company behind the cloud technology that powers Crackdown 3 for Xbox One and PC. Yet the studio, led by original Crackdown Director Dave Jones and CEO Maurizio Sciglio, is looking beyond a single platform or two. They’re currently developing their cloud technology based on similar principles of the

For a new entry in a series many consider to be stagnant from year-to-year, Madden NFL 18 actually brings a ton of changes to the long running football game franchise. The Madden series has transitioned from running on the Ignite engine to EA’s more traditionally used Frostbite engine, added a well-crafted Telltale-esque story mode, included
Undertale was sort of an anomaly to me. I had never been a fan, notably because I missed out on the game back when it released in 2015. The game has been sitting in my Steam library for months, with only one hour clocked. Do I sure as hell regret that now. Since Undertale is
Growing up in the 90’s gave me the privilege of witnessing the legendary “Console Wars.” It was a time when the video game market was changing monthly and every publisher was trying to find the “next big thing.” It was during this time that video game fans everywhere would be introduced to Sonic the Hedgehog,
NBA Live 18 is the first new entry its series in over two years, and comes at a time when the NBA 2K series is dominating the basketball market. During this time, the developers have been diligently working on the game to make a true competitor, adding quality of life improvements, many RPG elements, the
Sword Art Online is a well-known anime and manga franchise, even by those who haven’t seen or read the source material. The story follows a team of hardcore gamers who dedicate their lives to spending time together in a virtual world. However, Accel World might be seen as a little more of a niche series.
The love for old-school gaming shines through for developer The Bitfather and their rogue-like, classic turn-based title: Pixel Heroes: Byte & Magic. They are the latest developer to use retro 8-bit style graphics with a no-nonsense, straight-up nostalgia approach which works in some instances, but holds the game back considerably in many areas. Originally released
On July 13, 1987, a new video game was released for the MSX2 computer system in Japan and Europe. Designed and directed by a man whose name would become synonymous with his long-lived series, the original Metal Gear debuted and Hideo Kojima’s story about espionage, betrayal, and nuclear armament began. Today, this game is often
Over the past 15 years, the Kingdom Hearts series has been taking fans on an adventure to different worlds they’d never thought possible. Through each entry, the story has evolved to include new characters and worlds to fit the growing franchise. The same can be said for Sora’s trusted weapon, the magical Keyblade. First introduced
With E3 in our rear-view mirror, the summer sun of 2017 is upon us! And besides barbecues, road trips and catching up with your gaming backlog what else is summer good for? Giveaways!

Koji Igarashi has been a notable name to fans of the Castlevania franchise for almost twenty years. From Symphony of the Night to Harmony of Dissonance, Igarashi served as one of the main creative minds behind the vampire-laden series until his departure from Konami in March of 2014. Of course, Igarashi couldn’t sit on the
So let’s talk about Mighty No. 9: I think the stale taste has left everybody’s mouths by now. To put it simply, that game was a disaster with so much potential to be great. A true successor to the Mega Man series, with one the series’ most notable leads, Keiji Inafune, at the helm. Sadly,
When a major movie hits theaters nowadays, most people expect a cheap tie-in video game to get announced in order to cash-in on the movie’s success. Without hesitation, most people write the game off immediately. So lets cut right to the chase: Cars 3: Driven to Win is most certainly not going to win any
When gamers hear the name “Inti Creates,” it’s often followed by memories of playing the Mega Man Zero series. The developer excels in delivering some of the best 2D action-platformers on the market, and this has been a goal set out by the company since they opened their doors in 1996. Following the developer’s inception,
Another year, another E3 — and as is tradition, DualShockers hands out awards to what we (and our readers collectively) think are the best games at the show. This year had some stiff competition, with three games nearly tying for Game of the Show. But, with plenty of arguing, debating, and compromising we have DualShockers’
E3 2017 has come and gone and hosted many great games: however, some of those titles might have been overshadowed by some of the bigger budget titles seen on stage. Despite the huge amount of games announced during the event, we here at DualShockers have put together a convenient list of great indie games that
In the year 2150, Laser League is the new big thing. It’s a fast-paced sport where players must dodge the opposing teams’ lasers and survive in order to be deemed champions, leading to some bright spots of happiness and excitement in a post-conflict world. That is the concept of Roll7’s Laser League in a nutshell,
The biggest gaming conference in the world is in full swing, and there is no better time to be a gamer. With tons of new games announced, brand new hardware gracing the show floor, and hundreds of new trailers revealed — and I literally mean hundreds — E3 2017 wasn’t short on flair. But of
The dust has settled at E3 2017 after all of the press conferences and presentations have ended, and once again E3 brought out some of the biggest announcements, surprises, and reveals that gamers have to look forward to throughout this year, and the coming years. After EA, Bethesda, Microsoft, Ubisoft, Sony, and Nintendo all presented
What a conference. From beginning (and I’m talking the Pre-Show) to the very end. So the question remains — is this just “a great Sony press conference” or “the greatest Sony press conference”? The Pre-Show was a wonder to behold, with game-after-game being announced. We saw an official date for Knack II, along with a
A few weeks ago, we wrote a piece called “Casting The Witcher Netflix TV Series” and it went over really well with our community of readers. So naturally, we wanted to start a series! We brought together all of our ideas (and maturity) to compile a list of actors that we believe could play the
Warner Bros Interactive (WB Games) announced today that this year at E3 will mark their first ever WB Games Live! event, where they will broadcast directly from their booth on the show floor.
