Well here’s a post that might make you feel really old. Today marks the 19th anniversary of the release of the PlayStation 2. While the classic console from the dawn of the millennium didn’t release in North America until October of 2000, its original release in Japan was on March 4, 2000. Even in 2019, the
February was a month of really high highs and very low lows for Swedish publisher THQ Nordic. On the positive side of things, they were able to raise $200 million in order to acquire more valuable IP and studios, something THQ Nordic is known for doing. Unfortunately, THQ Nordic made the decision to hold an
Every now and then there comes a game that just completely catches you off guard. Each year I’ll typically pick up a game that looks visually appealing to me and just say “Eh, why not.” Surprisingly, this time around it just so happens to be a real-time strategy game, a genre I admittedly don’t have much experience
Omensight positions itself as an epic tale filled with a lovable, diverse cast and time travel magic to round out a cataclysmic adventure. Taking the reigns of The Harbinger — summoned by the world to protect against apocalyptic ruin — you navigate through a world of colorful characters and engaging fantasy. It’s a game that should be
Today, publisher Gun Media revealed to Variety that Friday the 13th: The Game was coming to Nintendo Switch sometime this Spring. This is a very interesting release considering that the game’s developers may not be able to add any new content to Friday the 13th: The Game because of a legal battle regarding the rightful
We’ve known for awhile now that there is a Metal Gear Solid movie in the works that is being directed by Kong: Skull Island’s Jordan Vogt-Roberts. As of now, the film is still in the pre-production stages with the initial script being said to have been finished last summer. Assuming all continues to go as planned, once the
As of today, Respawn Entertainment’s battle royale shooter Apex Legends has been out for one full month. As a result, Respawn’s Vince Zampella has now given the latest player totals for the game over that span of time and they continue to be staggering.

French developer Asobo Studio and publisher Focus Home Interactive have certainly crafted something interesting and unique with A Plague Tale: Innocence. In this action-adventure, you follow the tragic journey of Amicia and Hugo De Rune through the plagued-filled and formidable landscapes of 14th century France. Having seen the trailers, which captured my attention so much
On Twitter, Nihon Falcom revealed a more precise release date estimate for Ys IX: Monstrum Nox. The game is scheduled to launch in Fall 2019 in Japan on PS4. Previously, Falcom only announced that the game would launch in 2019. イースⅨたくさんの方にご期待いただき、大変ありがとうございます!開発は快調に進んでいますが、まだ開発は途上です。発売はあくまでも”予定”であり”決定”ではございません。よろしくご理解ください。 https://t.co/qKmGzQc8AA — 日本ファルコム (@nihonfalcom) March 4, 2019 In a follow-up tweet, Falcom also stressed
There is hardly anything worse for fans of any series to have major plot points spoiled. However, few realize the effects that seeing spoilers pre-release have on content creators and game developers. As Devil May Cry 5 rounds the corner into its release date, famed Capcom Director Hideaki Itsuno is asking that everyone be respectful to the
There’s been a lot of rumblings about The Last of Us Part II in recent weeks, including (suspect) “leaks” of a 2019 release date. And while so much of the game is still a mystery, some relatively unnoticed character art surfaced from the Lead Character Artist at Naughty Dog. And it certainly shows the power that the
It’s been two years since the launch of Nintendo Switch, and what better way to celebrate then tribute to (arguably) the console’s best game? And that is exactly what fans are doing, sharing some pretty amazing Disney-like art of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild crossed with Twilight Princess. Resurfaced earlier today on The Legend of Zelda‘s
Whether you are a die-hard fan of the Diablo series, really into the mobile gaming scene, or just looking forward for the endless critiques, everyone is awaiting the release of the beleaguered Diablo Immortal.

Anthem has been in the news a lot recently. Some news has been good, however, a majority of the news has been filled with harsh criticisms of the game. Even though the internet has seemingly set this game on fire, I am here to give some PC players a bit of good news if they didn’t know this
A few months ago, before the annual Game Awards, rumors began to circulate regarding the existence of either a brand new Crash Team Racing game or a remake of the original on the first PlayStation. Well, those rumors turned out to be true, and we were greeted with Crash Team Racing Nitro Fueled, a remake of the original
The Good Smile Company announced that they’ll be creating a new Nendoroid based on Princess Zelda from The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. If you’re unfamiliar with Nendoroids, they’re cute little posable figurines that usually come with some accessories and a stand. This isn’t the first Breath of the Wild Nendoroid the company has released, a Link
Everyone loves Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse. The award-winning film even struck a chord with video game guru and film connoisseur Hideo Kojima where he took to Twitter to express his enjoyment. He also said the theme of the film “is like TPP+DS,” yet again giving us another tease for his upcoming game Death Stranding. Here is the
After revealing SteamWorld Dig 2 at the start of Nintendo’s first ever Nindies Presentation just a week before the system launched, Nintendo Senior Manager for Publisher & Developer Relations Damon Baker said that Nintendo was aiming to “secure a constant flow of innovative content that shows the fun of playing games” and pledged to “prioritize
Rumors have been circulating the last month or two revolving around Xbox branching outside of their own ecosystem. It first started when we heard that Xbox was going to show Xbox Live coming to iOS, Android, and more surprisingly, Nintendo Switch. At first, we all thought that this was just another way for players to connect
It hasn’t been long since SEGA released Yakuza Online to mobile devices and PC. The free to download mobile game has already seen success in Japan and we may see it soon in the West with a localized version. According to an interview with Otaquest and Exile Sekai, SEGA’s Toshihiro Nagoshi, the chief creative officer
There’s no question that The Witcher 3 raised the bar on game design, with the game lauded from every outlet under the sun. And following a recent promotion, we can expect CD Projekt Red’s upcoming title to have the same quality. It appears that Konrad Tomaszkiewicz, Game Director for The Witcher 3 has been promoted and is now
There are so few developers as open about their games as developer Obsidian Entertainment is with their upcoming project, The Outer Worlds. Despite seemingly new updates rolling out about the game every week, the developers always appear to have some new tidbit of information about the Fallout like RPG. This week, Co-Directors Leonard Boyarsky and Tim Cain go on a
Everyone who has played Resident Evil 2 knows Mr. X, a.k.a Tyrant. He is one of the most frightening characters we have seen in games recently which can be attributed to his determination to destroy. Now picture this thwarting figure as Thomas the Tank Engine. Thanks to a few modders, this picture is now a
If you are anything like us, your hopes may have been dashed in the apparent reveal that the (still mysterious) Persona 5 R may be skipping Nintendo Switch. In any case, developer Atlus may be feeding the rumor mill once again — in a recent survey to both Eastern and Western fans, the studio wants to know what
I’m just going to say it–European cosplayers really know what they’re doing. Whether we are talking the impeccable Persona 5 Makoto cosplay or the spot-on Futaba cosplay, they have been raising the game in recent months. But with Apex Legends picking up a huge chunk of the Battle Royale market share, it’s no wonder that new characters are
While Resident Evil 2 remake may be slowly leaving the horror meta, one fandom still remains: Mr. X. He has become a talking point, whether we are talking about our unbridled love of the character or some of the more sultry mods, he is the Capcom superstar that this generation deserves. And while the fandom around his character
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is a masterpiece. Everything about it oozes creativity, ingenuity, and pushes the video game medium into an entirely different stratosphere. Part of what makes the game so great is the atmospheric melodies that will chime in while on your adventures. While this rendition of the series doesn’t feature
Despite my luke-warm review of Far Cry New Dawn, there is a lot to truly appreciate the game and developer Ubisoft’s direction. Looking beyond the brand new RPG lite mechanics pushed into the game, there was another major change to the Far Cry formula–the creation of a storyline sequel. And while the open-ended “true ending” of Far Cry 5 would
Last year during E3, Bethesda Announced The Elder Scrolls: Blades, the first game from the iconic series to release specifically for mobile platforms. Even though the game has been shown off a couple of times, one at E3 last year and another at Apples Keynote, not much else has been shared about the game. Well,
