However, there’s no denying that the difficulty

It feels like it’s been a decade since the original release of Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker on the often-faulty Wii U. Pegged between Super Smash Bros. for Wii U and Kirby and the Rainbow Curse, Captain Toad had a soft but deserving impact on the home console selling 250,000 copies in its first month and garnering wide critical acclaim. In

Today, Bandai Namco Entertainment released a brand new trailer of the upcoming fighting action game My Hero One’s Justice. If the title feels a bit weird, that’s because it’s actually a My Hero Academia game, titled My Hero Academia: One Justice in Japan.

A few weeks ago we found out that the Zombies mode for Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 would be shown off in greater depth at San Diego Comic-Con this year. Now, Treyarch has begun teasing the upcoming event, and it seems like it’ll be something sinister. While the tease is pretty simplistic, to say the least, because
One of the most notable elements of 2016’s Hitman was the fact that the game took players on a globe-trotting adventure through numerous countries, and now with summer in full swing, developer IO Interactive is offering players a free (virtual) trip to Marrakesh to enjoy.

In the year that I have been at DualShockers, it’s been pretty well established that I like racing games. While my favorite may be kart racers, there will always be a special place in my heart for more normal racing games as well. As mentioned in the game’s initial reveal article this past Monday, I
When it released last year, Sonic Mania brought players back to the era of the classic Sonic the Hedgehog games with its retro-fueled gameplay, and for SEGA has released a new promotional video for Sonic Mania Plus to celebrate the game’s upcoming release on consoles in the most ’90s-inspired way possible through an infomercial.

Whenever any new DLC for the Far Cry series goes live, it certainly has a lot to live up to.

It’s no mystery that many veteran BioWare fans (not all of them, of course) have been finding it difficult to relate to the stories from the studio in the past few years. Gone are the times of Baldur’s Gate and Knights of the Old Republic, and even the first two Mass Effect games and Dragon Age:
