Medical emergencies are nothing to laugh about, but when you’ve got two clumsy paramedics dropping a patient numerous times and being whacked on the head by scaffolding you can’t help but have a chuckle.

As much as Luigi has morphed into a character to laugh at over the years (excluding the sacred Year of Luigi in 2013), he’s never gotten the credit that he’s deserved. He’s always been portrayed as the gangly, awkward brother of the two Mario Bros., but Luigi has his own special breed of bravery that

Between Fitness Boxing and now Ring Fit Adventure, Nintendo is continuing its tradition of creating games that force players to get up and get active.

The current state of The Elder Scrolls Online conjures a mishmash of mixed feelings from me. I’ve spent nearly 600 hours inside of Zenimax Online Studios’ massively-multiplayer interpretation of the Elder Scrolls universe over the course of three years now, beginning just after the One Tamriel update released in late 2016.

The Persona Q titles are the only games to date that still retain some of the role-playing mechanics found in the mainline entries. While this amounts to an inherently Persona-like experience, don’t expect Persona Q2: New Cinema Labyrinth to deliver the

Warhammer: Chaosbane is an action RPG from developer Eko Software and publisher Bigben Interactive. The game takes place in the storied Warhammer fantasy universe. Chaosbane immediately calls to mind genre staples like Diablo and Path of Exile. As a seasoned Diablo player myself, it’s hard not to compare the two games; however, I will do

Phoenix Labs has taken up the task of creating the West’s first action hunting game with Dauntless, a free-to-play title that’s literally all about the thrill of hunting, gathering, and crafting that sweet gear. While some of its systems and mechanics leave room for improvement, as a title you can jump right into and play today, Dauntless is one

The horror genre is riddled with zombies, aliens, ghosts, and monsters of all shapes and sizes. What sets the Layers of Fear series apart is its poignant focus on the artist. Whereas the first game’s narrative revolves around a painter, Layers of Fear 2 follows an entirely new character, an actor. With this new character, Jimmy, his past plays a

The developers at No Code made a name for themselves in 2017 with the release of their “experimental text adventure” Stories Untold.
