E3 2018 has come and gone. While it was no Tokyo Game Show, it’s doubtless that a ton of great Japanese games was showcased. Yet, there are many that were expected to make an appearance, but were missing in action. Of course, the big one was the Final Fantasy VII Remake, but there are many

Earlier this year, Weappy Studio and THQ Nordic announced This is the Police 2 for PC, Mac, Linux, PS4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch.

The Total War series garners a lot of respect from both PC and strategy game circles, though the historical side of the franchise has experienced a bit of stagnation in recent years.

Today, 2K Sports and Visual Concepts revealed that this year’s cover athlete for NBA 2K19 will be none other than Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo.

The past two seasons have seen Antetokounmpo
From the first few minutes of hopping into The Awesome Adventures of Captain Spirit, there was an immediate sense of emotion that came rushing through me. As I saw the main character, Chris, wake up on a crisp winter morning to a day full of possibility and adventure, surrounded by action figures, dinosaur toys, and superhero
The quirky adventure game Pool Panic from indie developer Rekim got a new gameplay trailer. The trailer begins with the Pool part of the game. It’s pretty simple. You aim and shoot, as it’s repeated multiple times. Sounds easy enough, but then it breaks down into the Panic. In addition to aiming and shooting your cue ball, you’ll
Two years ago, developer Ghost Town Games and publisher Team17 found a novel way of turning co-op focused multiplayer away from the violence that we see from a lot of other games, into something a bit more silly, frenzied, and probably going to affect your friendships in the form of Overcooked!. As a party style game
Today Bandai Namco Entertainment released a brand new trailer of its upcoming Souls-like action-JRPG Code Vein.

Norse mythology has been making a comeback in pop culture over the last year. Rune’s Project Director Chris Rhinehart agrees, stating that “it’s great that people are getting exposed to more Norse mythology, whether that be through a game like God of War or a film like Thor: Ragnarok.” There’s a lot of neat lore
MMORPG title MapleStory 2 will be getting a battle royale mode… Sigh. I’m sorry, I just need a moment to center myself before writing this news out. Saying “Title X is getting a battle royale mode” has become as commonplace as saying a game has been made with former members of the Bioshock team at this point. But MapleStory
New Gundam Breaker received a somewhat shaky launch last week with players and critics alike complaining that it was in a rough state in nearly every way.

Hollow Knight was a surprise release that launched a few weeks back on the Nintendo Switch without notice. In light of some new sales numbers, clearly, that sudden release didn’t hurt the game at all. Speaking to IGN, developer Team Cherry revealed that the Switch version of Hollow Knight has been doing incredibly well out of the gate and
By now it’s a well-known fact that I’m bad at multiplayer shooters. It’s not that I don’t play or enjoy them, but I’m just terrible. Of course, this extends to Battlefield V‘s closed alpha that has just been made available. In order to compensate a bit for my horrible aiming, situational awareness, and reflexes, I
