Last week, Blizzard began teasing some new content for Overwatch on their Twitter account, but at the time, we had no idea what it was, with many people speculating that it was a new map.

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
All the way back in 2015, HumaNature Studios successfully crowdfunded ToeJam & Earl: Back in the Groove, a successor to the classic Sega Genesis series, and picked up Adult Swim Games as a publisher.

After Playdead’s Limbo came out of almost nowhere and released to critical acclaim on Xbox 360 in 2010, it made waves in the indie scene.

A few days ago it was revealed that Fortnite would be receiving the previously teased mode Playground today, much to the excitement of fans. It seems, however, that things have gone off to a rough start, as Epic Games has officially removed the limited-time mode from the battle royale shooter. According to the developer’s official Twitter account, the
As the two top-reigning competitors in the currently hot market of Battle Royale games, PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds developer PUBG Corps brought things to a heat against Fortnite developer Epic Games by putting forth a lawsuit against the company for copyright infringement earlier this year, though the conclusion of that case seems to have fizzled out.

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
Since the debut of their first game in 2014, Stoic Studio — a team comprised of former developers from BioWare — have been telling a Norse-mythology inspired story in the form of The Banner Saga series.

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

Today D3 Publisher released another large batch of screenshots of its upcoming action game Bullet Girls Phantasia.

The LovePlus franchise used to be very popular in Japan during the glorious times of the Nintendo DS. Now it’s bringing its popular waifus to mobile platforms with LovePlus Every.

If you read my review of NBA 2K18 last year, you probably saw that I had strong feelings about the way the game had further catered its progression systems to lean on the use of microtransactions. Virtual currency, or VC for short, has been a digital currency used in the NBA 2K games for a while now, but 2K18 began locking
One of the most iconic element of BioWare’s upcoming game Anthem is the Javelin suits that our characters are going to wear.
