I’ve been planning an insane Super Smash Bros. Ultimate tournament to take place at my small apartment in Indianapolis ever since Smash Ultimate was announced earlier in the year. I’ve been inviting all of my local friends and even some fellow writers here at DualShockers to come and compete in this ridiculous tourney and tonight is the

The Game Awards 2018 is happening today, December 8, 2018, in just over an hour. For those of you looking to watch the show in order to see all of the new announcements live, here’s where you can catch the livestream as well as everything else you need to know before it begins. Shortly after
With today’s launch of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, players around the world will finally have the chance to duke it out once again with their favorite Nintendo characters (and more), but this time around with the largest character roster in a Smash Bros. game yet. However, one of the biggest changes in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is that rather
December 13 will mark the North American launch of RollerCoaster Tycoon Adventures for Nintendo Switch. It is the first console entry for the series in quite some time following in the footsteps of the mediocre RollerCoaster Tycoon World as well as the more well-liked and successful RollerCoaster Tycoon Touch. RollerCoaster Tycoon Adventures seems to be
Super Smash Bros. is one of Nintendo’s industry titans, as it stands among Mario and Zelda as a powerhouse IP for the company. Outside of the all-star line-up and stellar game direction from walking video game encyclopedia Masahiro Sakurai, the ravenous fan-base has propelled the series to meteoric heights. The series has kept a 17-year-old
The Game Awards 2018, hosted by Geoff Keighley, just concluded. Along with numerous awards being given out, several new game announcements were spliced in throughout the show. That being said, the announcements that left the greatest impact were the World Premieres for new games that took place during the event. While some of the PC,
Tonight is Geoff Keighley’s The Game Awards 2018. While you wait for the show to air tonight, you can check out every nominee for this year’s show below. We will update the lists to reflect who and what won each category. Winners will be bolded and have the word “winner” placed in front of them.
Every now and then you come across a game that you completely underestimate and a short way in you begin to become overwhelmed. Battle Princess Madelyn is a title that you’d expect to be somewhat easy seeing as it was co-created by a seven-year-old, but instead, it became one of the hardest Metroidvania’s I’ve played this year. In my
I’ve been evangelizing to friends and colleagues who haven’t played the Darksiders series in anticipation of Darksiders III. The action franchise that saw its first installment release back in 2010 was incredibly under-the-radar when it hit store shelves, and despite it having many commonalities with other more notable franchises, it did a lot of cool things
The Game Awards 2018 is happening on December 6, 2018. Here’s where you can watch it and everything else you need to know before it starts. In recent years The Game Awards (hosted by Geoff Keighley) have been as much of a place for reveals as they have been for recognizing the most important titles in
Mutant Year Zero: Road to Eden is a strategy game from Funcom and The Bearded Ladies Consulting that I’ve had my eye on since its reveal earlier this year and one I have been looking forward to since I played it at E3 2018. As an avid fan of the XCOM series, the game caught
In 2017, a small video game development team from Canada called Causal Bit Games took their project Battle Princess Madelyn to Kickstarter to raise $60,000 (CAD). In only a few days the project had been successfully funded, and the backing kept on growing and growing. In the end, Battle Princess Madelyn ended up hitting $212,665
Growing up, I received a hand-me-down PS2 from my uncle around the age of 8; most of the games he also gave were either too mature for me or just regular sports games. But there was one game that wasn’t like the rest that my mother (thankfully) didn’t keep away, Marvel vs. Capcom 2. I remember
Hey everyone, long time no chat! This is Lou Contaldi, Editor-in-Chief of DualShockers and I’m looking for your help. If you’ve been a frequent reader, you may have noticed that DualShockers design looked… dated. Not much has changed since when DualShockers first started in 2009. While it may be a streamlined way to get to
Ever since the release of Fortnite‘s growingly-popular battle royale mode, which has now reached over 200 million players worldwide as of this week, it was only a matter of time before Fortnite took over real life outside of the popular game. That time has finally arrived as the first wave of toys and action figures from Jazwares will
This week on Drop In/Drop Out, Michael and Tomas join Logan to talk about their thoughts on recent games such as Darksiders III, Pokemon: Let’s Go! and Assassin’s Creed Odyssey. Before getting into predictions for The Game Awards next week, they also talk about Red Dead Online’s new release and the failure that has become Fallout 76. Episode 5 topics:
The Phantom Thieves are back again with Persona 5: Dancing in Starlight for the PS4 and PS Vita. The rhythm genre and Persona isn’t anything new, with Persona 4 having previously received its own dancing title. But Persona 5: Dancing in Starlight brings its own identity and style that keeps me coming back for more. Persona 5 Dancing, or P5D for short,
I couldn’t help but smile from ear to ear as I booted up Persona 3: Dancing in Moonlight on my PS Vita. A Persona game on PS Vita… in 2018. “Holy crap,” I thought to myself. This in and of itself is an absolute treat for fans who got their start with the series playing Persona 4 Golden. Thankfully,
You might take control of a young, upper-class girl who grew up isolated from society due to her over-protective father’s fear, but that doesn’t stop Nairi becoming a strong protagonist in Nairi: Tower of Shirin. A story filled with mystery, discovery, lies, and friendship, this point-and-click title looks visually wonderful and tells a strong story, but
It’s hard to imagine Bethesda’s pitch for Fallout 76. “We have a huge dedicated player base for our single-player franchise. We should take away all of their favorite parts of the game and have these traditionally-isolated players play together.” Fallout 76 tears down the divisions between players by allowing them to play cooperatively. What’s left standing, however, is
In my time playing Omen of Sorrow, I played as all sorts of ghouls, creatures, and monster slayers. From training mode, to the story, to multiplayer, Omen of Sorrow has the setup for a fighting game with plenty of potential: I just wonder if it is something worth coming back to again. Omen of Sorrow is a 2.5D
Being deaf, I’ve often made jokes about bad subtitles that are too small to read. Just in the past few years we’ve seen a few examples of how games have stumbled when it comes to implementing proper subtitles, such as Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus with its tiny subtitles that blend, or walls of text in Fallout 4.
Today marks the five year anniversary of the release of the Xbox One, and what an interesting and crazy five years it has been to say the least. While Microsoft’s latest console has largely been somewhat divisive and hasn’t come close to the success that the Xbox 360 had, it is still a platform that
The road through Rozhok is stained with blood. Plain wooden crates decorate each side of the street: one, two, three, four, there are five of them. Five small boxes filled with guns, filled with bandages, filled with clothing. The boxes tell stories of intentions; stories of submachine gun-wielding men holding sniper rifle scopes, stories of
Three years ago, EA and DICE released Star Wars Battlefront, a recreation of the classic Battlefront series for a new age. While the game had a lot of promise, the main complaint from many was that it didn’t contain enough content at launch and the content that was on its way would only be via the game’s
As I was browsing my way throughout some great Red Dead Redemption 2 content this weekend, I stumbled across some people harassing a guy who was clearly making up fake spoilers for the game and trying to fabricate leaks for the upcoming Red Dead Online. Then, I thought to myself; “were there any leaks we didn’t
At first glance, one would think that Valiant Hearts: The Great War is just a cute 2D puzzle game. The art style comes across as very cartoonish, characters are extremely expressive and wave their limbs around to show emotions, and there is so much gibberish that if you close your eyes, you might think that you are
It’s the biggest time of the year for SMITE. Hi-Rez Expo features the game’s world championships on PC and console as well as cosplay and announcements for the Georgia-native developer’s 3rd-person MOBA.Hi-Rez Studios has combined its expo with DreamHack Atlanta this year to bring eSports together on an even larger scale. I got the chance
I played about four hours of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate a few weeks back and unlike the previous builds of the game that I had tried out, this one was a full build. That meant that every character that had been revealed since E3 2018–King K. Rool, Simon Belmont, Isabelle, etc.–were all available for play. This is
I’ve been recently making my way through the newest Tomb Raider game, Shadow of the Tomb Raider. I’ve been spending more of my game time pondering why I’m not digging this entry as much as the previous two than actually focusing on the digital world in front of me. I usually take that as a
