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. As it was recently announced by PC Gamer, The PC Gaming Show will once again be returning to Los Angeles this June for another presentation ahead of E3 2019. This year will mark the fifth consecutive running of the
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
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
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
On May 14, Asobo Studio and Focus Home Interactive will finally release A Plague Tale: Innocence for PC, PS4, and Xbox One. While there is still a month to go until launch, the French developers announced today that A Plague Tale: Innocence has finally gone gold. In case you aren’t aware, the term “gone gold”
Borderlands 3 was finally announced to much fanfare last week at Gearbox Software’s PAX East panel. Various details have been slowly leaking out in the days since and today the cover art and collector’s edition info was “leaked” by Twitter user Wario64. Borderlands 3 box art + Deluxe Edition + Super Deluxe Edition + Diamond
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
An entirely new character has today been unveiled to be joining the official roster of Mortal Kombat 11 when it launches later this month. Revealed exclusively by Game Informer, Cetrion has now joined Geras as one of the entirely new fighters joining MK11. Cetrion is an Elder Goddess who has powers that stem from her connection to the Earth.
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. After previously dodging the question at events like C2E2, NeatherRealm Studios has
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. QuakeCon this year is set to focus mostly on DOOM, which this year is celebrating its 25th anniversary this year. Bethesda has previously referred to 2019
One of the weirder stories that came about earlier in March when Devil May Cry 5 released was when it players began discovering that one scene from the game had seemingly been censored of partial nudity, but only on the PS4 version of the game for those in western markets. Now, in a new update for
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
Mages, 5pb.games and Nitroplus opened a website to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Steins;Gate franchise. The first Steins;Gate game released on Xbox 360 in Japan on October 15, 2009. To celebrate the 10th anniversary, ten different projects related to the Steins;Gate franchise have been teased. Needless to say, not all of these ten projects will turn
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. Some tend to believe that Stadia could be the future of gaming while others are hard-pressed to think it will find success in our current Internet climate where speeds are often
In just over two weeks, Techland Publishing will be releasing God’s Trigger, a fast paced top-down shooter from One More Level. As we approach the game’s launch, the pair have release another trailer for the game showing the flashy and brutal abilities players will be able to use in God’s Trigger. In total, God’s Trigger
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
As is tradition on April 1st, many tech companies are releasing gags and other sorts of pranks online, with Google (or Alphabet) releasing an updated Google Maps that will let you play the classic game Snake. Bring up either the iOS or Android Google Maps app and you’ll be greeted with a changed menu icon
Have you ever found yourself sad that you can’t sleep with everyone’s favorite alien Garrus Vakarian from Mass Effect in real life? Well, be morose no longer, because there’s now a product just for you. As announced today by BioWare, official Garrus body pillows are now being sold through merchandising outlet J!NX. No, this is not an
To keep up with the litany of free-to-play battle royale games on the market, Activision has opted to now make Call of Duty: Black Ops 4’s Blackout battle royale mode free for the entirety of April. Starting tomorrow on April 2, Blackout will be free-to-play across all of Black Ops 4’s platforms on PS4, Xbox One, and
Rage 2 is an open-world shooter with RPG elements, tons of unique weapons, a vibrant (and violent) world, and big explosions. Surely, to perform at the same level as other id Software games like DOOM or Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus, the hardware has to be capable of doing so, which does not seem to
I have played my fair share of fighting games in my life. Admittedly though, that “fair share” hardly deviates from the known quantities. I’m talking about the numerous Street Fighter, Mortal Kombat, and Tekken games that have graced our consoles for years. Sometimes I’ll get crazy and check out something like Guilty Gear Xrd Rev
Valve had high hopes for their CCG game Artifact when they released it back in November 2018, but it unfortunately has drastically underperformed. A $19.99 price tag on top of a in-game economy that relied on trading cards with real money via Steam at launch and an overall lack of communication from Valve all likely
Borderlands 3 was finally announced last week by Gearbox Software at PAX East and while the game’s debut trailer got many fans excited, it most notably was still lacking information about a potential release date for the title. Now, it seems like the launch day for the game could have recently been divulged on Twitter,
Despite some stiff multiplatform competition, Nintendo’s latest Switch-exclusive Yoshi’s Crafted World has found itself at the top of the weekly UK sales chart in its first week of availability. Releasing this past Friday, Yoshi’s Crafted World was able to beat out both Ubisoft’s The Division 2 and last week’s top-seller Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice. The Switch itself continues to
Ever since the whole Hideo Kojima fiasco in 2015, Konami’s public perception has suffered greatly. That being said, the company has been attempting to refocus itself recently, and will even be releasing several collections of titles from many of their classic series like Contra and Castlevania later this year. To continue this self-described “change and
The concept of being stuck in another world, but with Idols. This is the idea that The Caligula Effect: Overdose throws at you from the start, and uses it to tell a somewhat confusing story. With strong gameplay elements and interesting character designs, it’s an unbalanced title due to the lackluster environments and forgetful story
While we’ve seen the Rabbids fighting for a “kingdom” before in Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle, Ubisoft has decided to take that goal a literally today with for an April Fools’ Day event. For today only, players can jump into For Honor and fight off hordes of the energetic creatures. The very limited time event
