Gearbox Software and 2K Games announced the release date for Borderlands 3 this morning and in the process, the game went live on most digital and physical storefronts for pre-order. On one product page specifically, though, it seems as though a currently unannounced feature for the game could have been divulged. According to the official Borderlands 3
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
Final Fantasy has noticeably changed since its turn-based roots back in 1987. No other entry represents that change more than Final Fantasy XV in my mind. While I have many things I love about this entry in the longrunning series and many things I dislike, Episode Ardyn is the finale to this saga that began back in 2006 with Final Fantasy
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,
Fear not, Master Race, you’ll be getting your own showcase once again this summer at E3 2019.

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.

We can finally put an end to all speculation at last as developer Gearbox Software has revealed today that Borderlands 3 will launch September 13 worldwide on PS4, Xbox One, though the PC version will be exclusive to the Epic Store – the budding rival to Steam. For PC users this will be the only place to
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
It goes without saying that Red Dead Redemption 2 was a monumental title for Rockstar Games. It took players on a crazy ride with its deep and compelling narrative that spread out over its vastly animated map – even today players are still finding things out about the game as they go off exploring. Over on
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

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

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.

Hot off the heels of announcing plans for E3 just a few weeks back, Bethesda has detailed its plans for QuakeCon 2019 which is set to take place in July.

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

There has been a lot of talk about Stadia, Google’s upcoming streaming platform, ever since it was revealed at GDC a few weeks back.

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.
