Summer Games Done Quick is a massive event for the speed-running community. Earlier this year, the event was postponed by Games Done Quick due to the coronavirus. And now, the in-person event has been officially canceled, and GDQ has moved the whole thing online. It’s a move that makes sense, especially with how successful the

You’d be forgiven if you assumed EA would bring some top-tier content to FIFA 20 as Team of the Season So Far is winding down and the final round of Icon Swaps have now ended. But instead, they’ve seemingly elected to go out with a whimper in place of that massive bang many expected. That

For the first time in its history, Riot Games started working on a competitive online first-person shooter a while back, and today, the result looks outstanding, at least for those who are playing it.

If you’re a fan of The Sims 4, you’re probably used to headlines like this. They usually come after any big patch, update or DLC are added to the game, and almost always, are just as hilarious. If you’re not used to this, then welcome, and you read that headline right. The latest update to The Sims
The use of racist, sexist, homophobic, and all sorts of other slurs have become commonplace in the lobbies of Call of Duty games over the years. This kind of language has, in many ways, become just as identifiable with Call of Duty’s brand as Doritos, Mountain Dew, and 1v1 matches on Rust have been over the

When granted the opportunity to have a 1-on-1 interview with Joe Kucan, I excitedly leapt at the chance. Joe is instantly recognizable to someone who grew up playing the Command and Conquer games, like yours truly. He’s the actor responsible for portraying the series’ iconic antagonist Kane, the leader and messianic figure of the Brotherhood
Slay the Spire is an excellent deck-building game from Mega Crit. It launched on PC in early 2019 and came to consoles after. However, it has always felt like it would feel right at home on mobile devices. Well, very soon that dream is becoming a reality. At least if you’re an iOS user. Slay
Many companies around the video game industry have been looking for ways to take action in light of the ongoing Black Lives Matter protests that are happening in the United States and around the world.

Before we begin, it’s important to make clear that I do not care about nor understand professional cycling. I have, quite literally, never watched a race in my life and am the last person you should be coming to if you’re looking for a review for Pro Cycling Manager 2020. Or any cycling game, for
The Mafia series tries to perfectly encapsulate the power of working outside the law and having no rules apply to you. It deals with the upsides and downsides of this bygone line of work. But one of the core tenets of any Mafia-inspired piece of media (see The Godfather, The Sopranos) is a lack of
With the PS5 event happening at some point in the near future after being understandably postponed, many gamers have turned their minds to the sleekest and newest looking console. It’s easy to get excited about its specs when it’s powered by eight Zen-2 processing cores, just over 10 teraflops graphical wizardry, and 16GB of GDDR6
Originally released in 2012, Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning over the years has had a devoted following as a fan-favorite RPG that didn’t get the love it deserved when it first released.

Capcom has in recent years decided to return to the popular Resident Evil games of yesteryear and remake them from the ground up. This trend kicked off last year with the release of Resident Evil 2 and continued this year when Resident Evil 3 hit store shelves. Just how do these new remakes sit with some of the

Following the work on The Evil Within 2, Tango Gameworks is now hard at work on Ghostwire: Tokyo. Legendary horror game developer and the creator of Resident Evil, Shinji Mikami, is serving as a producer on the project which means, despite us having seen hardly anything of the game, it seems worth getting excited about. Now, in a
When I first saw Bug Fables: The Everlasting Sapling back in 2018, I was just coming off of a disappointing dive into Paper Mario: Color Splash. That game wasn’t bad, per se, but it didn’t feel like a classic Paper Mario title. Bug Fables, on the other hand, looks like Mario and his crew had
While a lot of things in the games industry have been shifting around this week, Sony and Naughty Dog’s commitment to releasing a new video on The Last of Us Part II in the lead up to release has continued. In the latest edition of the game’s ongoing “Inside” video series, Naughty Dog has opted
