There’s no question about it that Fortnite is a cultural phenomenon that brings in players of all ages. With its ever-changing challenges and allowing gamers to access it for free, its no wonder that so many people play it – especially the younger generation. But there has always been a cloak of disapproval that hangs heavily over the title

Longtime Mortal Kombat director Ed Boon has said that in the past, he had discussions with Marvel about creating a fighting game. This news comes about in a new interview conducted by Game Informer with the famed fighting game creator. When asked about when the talks with Marvel took place, Boon said, “I probably shouldn’t talk
Being let down by a game that’s nearly great can be more disappointing than playing a game that’s outright terrible. When the potential for a game that could be something great is there, one can’t help but think about what could have been. Unfortunately, Power Rangers: Battle for the Grid is one of these titles
WonderCon is a wonderful convention taking place in Los Angeles every year. Movies, games, and comics all bring new announcements for their attendees. However, it would never be a real convention without some spectacular cosplay. Even though Metroid Prime 4 is not likely to come anytime soon, and the Metroid Prime Trilogy might, cosplayer Cosplamy has recently embodied Samus Aran in
If you’re like me, your most anticipated game of April was not Mortal Kombat 11, but Bubsy: Paws on Fire!. Developed by Runner3’s Choice Provisions, this runner starring everyone’s favorite Bobcat actually has the potential to be good. Unfortunately, Bubsy: Paws on Fire! was just pushed back to May 16. While this delay is disappointing,
A few months back, we reported on an early listing for the Steam achievements for Mortal Kombat 11 which seemingly revealed many of the game’s playable fighters prior to proper announcements from NetherRealm Studios and Warner Bros. While those achievements up until this point have proved to be accurate, there were some discrepancies due to the
Nintendo has announced the latest additions to the NES lineup for those who are subscribed to Nintendo Switch Online and it’s not too shabby of a month. Three new titles in total will be joining the service next week on April 10 and likely the biggest name of the trio is that of Punch-Out!!. The classic
Needless to say, I’ve played my fair share of Dauntless over the past year. I find that every time I jump back into the game, it’s more compelling, more satisfying, and just plain fun. Not to mention, there has been a slew of content in just a years time. Dauntless may still be in beta on PC, but it’s
If you had told me a month ago that the first game I’d play at Yacht Club Games’ booth wouldn’t be Shovel Knight: King of Cards, I’d probably would have been very confused. Yacht Club Games is one of my favorite developers in the business. I’ve bought Shovel Knight five times for myself, plus as
Marvelous announced through the Rune Factory official Twitter that a live stream for the Rune Factory series, titled “Rune FaChannel”. It’ll air on April 4 at 20:00 JST.

Persona 5, The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past, and Metroid Prime Trilogy look to be heading to the Nintendo Switch, according to a listing at Best Buy through an employee terminal.

John Romero (of DOOM, Wolfenstein 3D, and Quake fame) and his Romero Games studio are partnering with Paradox Interactive to make a new strategy game based on an original IP. It’s an interesting move given Romero’s legendary status as one of the father’s of the FPS, but he’s certainly partnered with the right studio for
An entirely new character has today been unveiled to be joining the official roster of Mortal Kombat 11 when it launches later this month. Revealed exclusively by Game Informer, Cetrion has now joined Geras as one of the entirely new fighters joining MK11. Cetrion is an Elder Goddess who has powers that stem from her connection to the Earth.
Mortal Kombat 11’s custom character variation system was one of the first things highlighted about the game after it’s initial reveal in December. This system gives players more autonomy in not only giving their character a unique design, but special moves and abilities. After previously dodging the question at events like C2E2, NeatherRealm Studios has
My friend Logan knows me incredibly well. We were friends growing up but I moved. He later stumbled across me on Twitter and we have been friends ever since. We’ve podcasted, partied, and traveled together since that fateful Twitter interaction. Logan knows my taste in games so well, that he often tells me “You’ll like
During Nintendo’s Direct back in February, it was announced that Ninja Theory’s Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice would be coming to the Switch in spring but at the moment, we didn’t have an exact date. As of today, that has now changed. Ninja Theory announced the release date for Hellblade on Switch and it’s a lot sooner than you
Mages, 5pb.games and Nitroplus opened a website to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Steins;Gate franchise. The first Steins;Gate game released on Xbox 360 in Japan on October 15, 2009. To celebrate the 10th anniversary, ten different projects related to the Steins;Gate franchise have been teased. Needless to say, not all of these ten projects will turn
Another PAX East has come to an end and all of us are very tired. But nevertheless, we escaped the show floor and took some time to each individually talk about the games that made the biggest impressions on us. Each of our staff writers in attendance got to play a wide variety of games
In a lot of ways, the roguelike genre’s core elements are almost the antithesis of what Double Fine’s past games have been known for. A focus on storytelling, memorable characters, and meticulously designed levels above all else is what has made titles like Psychonauts, Brutal Legend, and Grim Fandango Remastered beloved by so many fans. Roguelikes, on the
Atlus revealed today that besides the Persona 5 The Royal announcement on April 24, “1 More” announcement is coming on April 25, about a certain Persona 5 S. A Persona 5 S teaser site was opened, showing the visual above, inspired from the original game’s GUI. Moreover, when checking the source code of the teaser
Rage 2 is an open-world shooter with RPG elements, tons of unique weapons, a vibrant (and violent) world, and big explosions. Surely, to perform at the same level as other id Software games like DOOM or Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus, the hardware has to be capable of doing so, which does not seem to
I have played my fair share of fighting games in my life. Admittedly though, that “fair share” hardly deviates from the known quantities. I’m talking about the numerous Street Fighter, Mortal Kombat, and Tekken games that have graced our consoles for years. Sometimes I’ll get crazy and check out something like Guilty Gear Xrd Rev
Despite some stiff multiplatform competition, Nintendo’s latest Switch-exclusive Yoshi’s Crafted World has found itself at the top of the weekly UK sales chart in its first week of availability. Releasing this past Friday, Yoshi’s Crafted World was able to beat out both Ubisoft’s The Division 2 and last week’s top-seller Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice. The Switch itself continues to
Ever since the whole Hideo Kojima fiasco in 2015, Konami’s public perception has suffered greatly. That being said, the company has been attempting to refocus itself recently, and will even be releasing several collections of titles from many of their classic series like Contra and Castlevania later this year. To continue this self-described “change and
The concept of being stuck in another world, but with Idols. This is the idea that The Caligula Effect: Overdose throws at you from the start, and uses it to tell a somewhat confusing story. With strong gameplay elements and interesting character designs, it’s an unbalanced title due to the lackluster environments and forgetful story
According to eagle-eyed Twitter user SomeKidNick, the release window for Persona 5 hero Joker as a fighter in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate no longer states the words “Approaching April.” Instead the frame in the DLC reveal trailer merely says “Approaching…” This is an interesting development considering that we are now a mere day away from
SNK Corporation revealed that, in addition to their upcoming reboot of the Samurai Shodown series, the company will be releasing a Samurai Shodown NeoGeo Collection in Fall 2019.

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
