While I’m mostly a fan of first-person shooters, there’s still a big place in my heart for the genre’s cousin, the third-person shooter. The first one that I played was Uncharted 2: Among Thieves back in 2009, and since then I try and play as many in the genre as possible. So when I first heard about Strange
Previews
With its initial reveal during this year’s E3 2018 by Nintendo, Killer Queen Black is a title that may have flown a bit under the radar for many as the follow-up to a beloved arcade hit, myself included. However, after having gotten to play a bit of the title hands-on, Killer Queen Black is certainly a title
While soccer has never really caught on in the United States like the rest of the world, EA’s FIFA series remains one of their most lucrative best-selling series. 2018 has been a big year for soccer with the World Cup, and EA plans on following that up with FIFA 19 on PC, PS4, Xbox One,
While there are those who shrug the series off each year, EA’s Madden series has a very devoted fanbase excited to find out what’s new annually. Madden NFL 19 comes out in just a couple weeks, with improvements being seen in animations, Ultimate Team, and Franchise Mode. The game will also be available on PC for
In 2015, Polish developer Techland launched its survival horror game, Dying Light, yet again bringing zombie-killing action to the current generation of consoles and PC. With the oversaturation of zombies in popular media, I never expected Dying Light to be one of the best games of the year. Bringing familiar mechanics from the Dead Island
In the year that I have been at DualShockers, it’s been pretty well established that I like racing games. While my favorite may be kart racers, there will always be a special place in my heart for more normal racing games as well. As mentioned in the game’s initial reveal article this past Monday, I
Whenever any new DLC for the Far Cry series goes live, it certainly has a lot to live up to. With Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon widely considered one of the best DLC re-imagining of last generation, you can tell Ubisoft is trying to copy that success with the expansion pass for Far Cry 5. Unlike the earlier version
This may not be the popular opinion amongst the population, but since its introduction, I have pretty much always believed that VR is just a fad and that it will go the way of motion control, leaving behind very few memorable games. After E3 2018, however, my stance on the technology has changed drastically, and
Back in 2016, IO Interactive and Square Enix took its well-known stealth series Hitman in a different direction. Instead of the traditional single-game release, the newest adventure featuring Agent 47, simply called Hitman, was episodic, with each installment of the game set at a specific location with the ending cinematics progressing the story. At first, I wasn’t
As the culmination of a series that debuted back in 2014, The Banner Saga 3 feels almost as much as a reflection on the studio that has created it as it is the end to a striking and unique fantasy story. Coming from developer Stoic Studio, a small team made up of just three people when
I was shocked when Bandai Namco Entertainment announced SoulCalibur VI last year at The Game Awards, and the fighting game is quickly becoming one of most anticipated games of 2018. SoulCalibur V was a bit rocky, but everything I saw about SoulCalibur VI seemed to suggest that it will be the return to form the
In 2011, id Software and Bethesda released a brand new IP called Rage for PC, Xbox 360, and PlayStation 3. The hype for the game leading up to its launch was palpable winning multiple awards from various outlets for its gorgeous graphics and great gameplay. When the public finally got its hands on it —
E3 2018 has come and gone and hosted many great games: however, some smaller indie titles might have been overshadowed by some of the bigger budget games 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
The Bioshock games have done something interesting where they not only combine fantastic gameplay and story, but they do it all within some genuinely fascinating worlds. Unfortunately, Bioshock: Infinite was released in 2013, and ever since then I’ve had this desire for a game set within mysterious and detailed worlds, but it seemed like interest in those types
Despite my absolute love for story and narrative-based games, I still enjoy titles that focus exclusively on gameplay. Titles like Minecraft and most recently Fortnite have no story but I still enjoy them for their refined gameplay, but one of my favorites has to be Trials Fusion. While, of course, it’s not the first entry in the series, I bought
As the VR market continues to grow, developers are learning new ways to refine genres and cater the experience to the strengths of virtual reality rather than trying to create a one-to-one mirroring of the same non-VR experience. Archangel: Hellfire is one of the most recent examples that I have seen that has now figured out how
AAt the very young age of four, I got my first gaming device, the Gameboy. The first game my parents gave me was Arcade Classics 3: Galaga/Galaxian forever influencing my taste in video games. Since then, games like Star Wars Rogue Squadron II: Rogue Leader, Resogun, Star Fox 64, and other space shooters have become
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. That’s why many Total War fans, including myself, were excited when Creative Assembly and SEGA unveiled Total War: Three Kingdoms, an entirely new
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
While Jake Hunter Detective is a long-running Japanese mystery adventure game series that has always interested me, I never actually got to try any of the titles out, mainly because several of them were never localized into English. That’s why I was excited to hear that Aksys Games was localizing Jake Hunter Detective Story: Ghost
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
There has been a recent surge, both in sales and popularity, for Japanese games in the West. For instance, games like Capcom’s Monster Hunter World and Bandai Namco’s Dragon Ball FighterZ were the top two best selling games in January of this year and reached critical acclaim from a bunch of outlets including ourselves. There
For my money, Assassin’s Creed 4: Black Flag and last year’s soft-relaunch Assassin’s Creed: Origins are the two best games in the now over a decade-long history of the AC franchise. Yes, there are plenty of other worthy contenders but these two, in particular, have always struck my fancy more than any of the others. So imagine my delight when I sat down
I’ll be completely honest: I’ve never been a gigantic fan of pirates games. I’ve always felt like the gameplay in them looked boring. I’m not sure why, but they just never appealed to me. On top of that, when a pirate game does peak my interest (like in the case with Sea of Thieves), there’s always something
For years, Remedy Entertainment has focused on narrative first and gameplay second. From the long monologues of Max Payne to the inner-workings of a writer in Alan Wake, and the episodic television experiment found in Quantum Break, it has been easy to see this emphasis on storytelling in almost every one of the studio’s titles. This focus on story over gameplay isn’t necessarily
All the way back in 2015, I was surprised to see Lab Zero Games move on from an immensely enjoyable fighting game like Skullgirls to Indivisible, a Valkyrie Profile-inspired Metroidvania-RPG hybrid. I tried and had a lot of fun with the Prototype Demo back when Indivisible was crowdfunded on Indiegogo and was curious to see
This year at E3, DualShockers had the chance to check out several upcoming titles from European publisher Focus Home Interactive. While many of these presentations were behind closed doors, we were able to get a great in depth look at the gameplay of six Focus Home Interactive titles currently in development. All of these games
When Rise of the Tomb Raider originally released on Xbox One back in 2015, it was one of my favorite games of the year. I loved its semi-open world nature that prompted exploration, the progression of improving your weapons and gear, and the satisfying combat that often felt dirty and in-your-face. Coming into E3, it was easy
Koei Tecmo and Omega Force’s Dynasty Warriors series and all of its spin-offs have seen some exciting new developments in recent years. Hyrule Warriors and Fire Emblem Warriors added some Nintendo flair to the musou experience, and Dynasty Warriors 9 attempted to implement an open world to mixed results. This year at E3, I met
Back in 2012, Turn 10 Studios and Playground Games released an open-world version of its critically acclaimed Forza series, Forza Horizon. At the time, it boasted a big and beautiful world with driving that was more forgiving than its simulation predecessor, the Forza Motorsport series. Six years and two more games later, the developers have
