Devil May Cry 5 was released by Capcom earlier this year to critical and commercial acclaim.

April Fools begins early this year, and Nvidia has thrown their hat in the ring with their A.I.-powered Personal Assistant R.O.N. This holographic assistant is jokingly described as the “future of gaming”. Nvidia has done some excellent April Fools jokes in the past.

While April Fool’s Day is tomorrow, the Yakuza developers at Ryu ga Gotoku Studio decided to kick off the festives with a brand new — and very fake — trailer for their next title today.

Since Netflix announced they were turning The Witcher into a series, they’ve been stingy with juicy details on the shows progress. Aside from announcing a few cast members, giving us a sneak peek of Henry Cavill in the iconic white hair, and announcing Anya Chalotra as Yennefer and Freya Allan as Ciri. They’ve kept a tight
In the time I spent playing Heave Ho on the show floor at PAX East, I probably failed through the first couple puzzles at least a good two dozen or so times. Normally in that type of scenario when you’re trying to complete a particularly-challenging puzzle it can lead to frustration, but in the case of Heave
PC preferring fans of the Yakuza series can rejoice — Yakuza Kiwami 2 seems to have been listed for PC release by an official content rating from the ESRB. While the content rating itself is worth a look-through, just to get an idea of what a game like this looks like to people not fully invested

When it comes to recent trends in games as of late, one of the absolute best trends has been the resurgence of ninja-themed games. Last year, The Messenger blended the old-school gameplay of Ninja Gaiden with challenging Metroidvania gameplay, while more recently titles like Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice took fast-paced combat to new (and more difficult) levels. That
Building up energy is the key to the Nindies-featured Creature in the Well, a new dungeon crawler hack-and-slash game from Flight School Studio. With pinball-like combat mechanics, Creature in the Well adds a unique spin to the genre, though the PAX East demo that I played left me questioning how much further the final game will
One goal I had this weekend at PAX East was to make my wife jealous by playing her most anticipated game this year—Vacation Simulator. She is a huge fan of Owlchemy Lab’s Job Simulator and begged me for months to buy it on PSVR. She’d just play the demo on the PSVR demo disc until
While in San Francisco for GDC I was allowed to watch and play a demo of Control, the latest game from Remedy Entertainment, the developer behind the Max Payne series, Alan Wake, and Quantum Break. Sitting in a hotel room at the Sir Francis Drake I got to talk briefly with Thomas Puha, Communications Director, as
The Elder Scrolls VI and Starfield will not make an appearance at Bethesda’s annual E3 press conference. The sad, but not unexpected news, was revealed by Bethesda Director Todd Howard during the company’s Elder Scrolls 25th Anniversary stream.

Cosplayer Shellanin went viral on Twitter recently over her latest NieR: Automata cosplay with a twist.

Seen below, you can check out the photoshoot from

I see a lot of game announcements, pitches, and ideas come across my Twitter feed. Some are hits, some miss the mark of my personal interest, and others just stick with me. Some are so unique in their presence that I kinda have to pay attention and keep the game on my radar until they
Sword Art Online returns to consoles once again with Sword Art Online Alicization Lycoris. The game uses the setting for the current season of the anime series in Project Alicization.

The offerings from Annapurna Interactive at PAX East 2019 couldn’t be any more different from one another, yet they all inspired similar emotions and feelings. Wattam, Outer Wilds, and Sayonara Wild Hearts each showed no shortage in creativity, all provoking intense curiosity of what these games have to offer further in. Wattam is a unique
Ice-T — famous rapper, record producer, and Law and Order: SVU actor — hinted at some pretty exciting news on Twitter after the reveal of the Borderlands 3 trailer during PAX East yesterday.

From Solid Snake to Geralt of The Witcher series, Good Smile takes these tough and hardened characters and turn them into adorable Nendoroids. Well, it looks like the Nendoroid takes on a new challenge with the announcement of a collaboration with the survival
I have always been a huge fan of the city-building genre, mostly as a way to control people other than just my poor fiancé. Naturally, I gravitated towards the Tropico series when I saw Tropico 5 on sale on the PlayStation store a few years ago. Something about the graphic representation of a warm, island
There’s no question about it: Borderlands 3 hype is in full swing. Following the PAX East reveal from developer Gearbox Studios, most gamers aren’t waiting until the April 3 announcements for more information.

Publisher Devolver Digital and developer Le Cartel Studio announced a new physics-based, local multiplayer platformer called Heave Ho. You might remember Le Cartel Studio from their previous work on Mother Russia Bleeds. In Heave Ho, the studio looks to be tackling brand new territory.

There is something about the fusion of one-hit kills, zany weapons, rapid fire repetition, and scoreboards that creates an utterly addictive loop. The Hotline Miami series is near-and-dear to my heart. The more recent release Ape Out also vibes with me on a deep level. These games get stuck in your brain. They take over
If you remember back in November last year, I wrote about the sensational Shirley Curry, also known as ‘Skyrim Grandma’ and her love for playing and streaming The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim on YouTube. She had expressed a huge desire to play Bethesda’s upcoming, and still a long way off from completion, The Elder Scrolls VI but stated that
