Anime are often a mirror of Japanese society, so it’s pretty normal for consoles to be featured in those set in the real world.

We recently learned that Square Enix will add English voice acting to Dragon Quest XI for PS4 and PC (and presumably to the Switch version coming sometime down the line), but the announcement was rather lean on what scenes would receive the treatment.

The first of these trailers pays homage to the enduring individuals who have made the series great, as well as a few original characters from Hyrule Warriors itself. In this first trailer, we get
Splatoon 2 is well known for having a charming group of pop-idol hostesses in its cast of characters–be it Marina and Pearl or returning favorites Callie and Marie. Two years ago, Callie and Marie were even pitted against each other in a Splatfest to the death…or at least that’s my head canon, anyway. Regardless of which
During this year’s PAX East 2018 several indie games were on display, and while many have caught my eye, We Are Fuzzy’s twin-stick shooter Sleep Tight is one of a small handful that has earned my undivided attention. Sleep Tight‘s premise has players controlling a kid as they defend themselves from hordes of creepy monsters that prey upon them

My initial impressions of Moonlighter might be a bit much considering I only got my hands on the game for about 30 minutes at this past weekend’s PAX East 2018. But I have to say that even in the short amount of time that I had with it, the game really surprised me in a lot of

I adore Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus. If you’re a longtime reader of DualShockers, you probably remember that I reviewed the game when it launched last October and rewarded it with a 9.5/10, which is still the highest score I’ve ever given to a game in my time as a reviewer. It’s safe to say that
Over the past few years, publisher THQ Nordic has risen to popularity.
