You might not think a lot about slogans, but there’s serious power behind them. In terms of brand awareness, a catchy motto can spell the difference between a household name or a lesser-known also-ran. The perfect slogan invokes a certain idea or feeling- one that’s meant to grease the wheel of capitalism and keep people excited for products. So, when you think about PlayStation’s “Greatness Awaits” slogan, you might be wondering what the “greatness” in question is....

Fans of Warcraft will likely remember Sylvanas Windrunner - the Banshee Queen that formerly served as the Chieftain of the Horde faction. In Blizzard’s lore, Sylvanas Windrunner once served as the High Elves’ greatest Generals prior to her “corruption” via the Lich King. In World of Warcraft, players got to witness her quest towards freedom and her attempts to make change in Azeroth based on her own ideals. As a leader, her thirst for vengeance becomes the perfect antithesis to the pacific Thrall and the noble Anduin Wrynn....

Blizzard’s World of Warcraft has already been discussed at length when it comes to video games having very tangible, lasting effects on the real world that produced them. World of Warcraft guild leaders have become advice gurus for those in need, while players have developed lasting, healthy relationships with others they met inside the game. One constant in World of Warcraft, however, has become even more important this year - the annual charity pet, released by Blizzard at Blizzcon to support charities like Make-A-Wish....

Originally released last year for Apple Arcade, World’s End Club will be making its way to Nintendo Switch on May 28. A demo for the game is available now on the Nintendo eShop, with any progress being carried over to the full game once it launches later this month. Having never played the Apple Arcade version – which apparently released without a proper ending – I hopped into the demo to check out the game’s cute visual design, which is offset by its surprisingly grim narrative....

Xbox boss, Phil Spencer talks about Halo 5: Guardians’ release and what it represents for Halo fans, in particular those still on the Xbox 360 console. According to Xbox boss Phil Spencer, Halo 5: Guardians’ release represents an “important milestone” for the Xbox One console.

Xbox’s Game Pass service is one of the more interesting subscriptions on the market. It offers an ever-changing list of games and Day One access to the company’s first-party titles for $10 a month. This month, players can expect five new games to be added to the Netflix-style service. Headlining the new additions is Sniper Elite 4, a game set during World War 2 that tasks players with bringing down Italy’s fascist regime....

The PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S all launch in less than a month and a half. The lead-up to the launch of next-gen consoles has been surprisingly friendly so far. Both Microsoft and Sony have been encouraging to their competitor, doing their parts to keep the so-called “console war” cooler than previous generations. However, even Xbox couldn’t resist the recent opportunity that Sony’s Spider-Man PS4 to PS5 upgrade path offered....

One of the best features of the upcoming Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition is the included epilogue campaign. Titled “Future Connected,” it’s great to see a beloved RPG get some additional content, even if it took a decade to come to fruition. Just what would this extra content be about, though? If Nintendo of Europe is anything to go by, it will take place a year after the main event. According to a new Tweet from the company, the epilogue will take place roughly a year after Shulk and co....

The game of Yu-Gi-Oh! has been going strong for well over twenty years now. In that time, many different kinds of cards have entered into the vast card pool. With constantly changing mechanics and rules, gimmicks come and go as the game progresses further. Some of these gimmicks wound up never seeing the light of day again. Konami does sometimes surprise the player base with returns to old ideas not seen since the earliest days of the game....

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild truly was a breath of fresh air for the open-world genre when it came out. And, with a 97 on Metacritic, seems like everyone else felt similarly. Then, during E3 2019, Nintendo slapped down a sequel announcement that had us all floored. Disclaimer: For now, we’re just going to use Ganondorf as the identifier for the mummy, as that is the most likely answer, but it still isn’t 100% confirmed....

In fact, twelve bold personalities of Kalos stand out as the signs of the Zodiac. 12 Aries: Hawlucha When it comes to competitions, an Aries has a fighting spirit like no other....

Dead Cells was one of 2018’s standout indie games. A 2D side-scrolling rogue-like with tight controls and compelling action, the title led many players to keep pushing through each death to run through the game again and again. But while the game found critical success, even being named Best Action Game at The Game Awards, its developer Motion Twin says to not expect a sequel. Motion Twin has never made a followup to any of its previous games, and it doesn’t look to be starting that now with Dead Cells....

Squid Game is a superb series, impressively executed from start to finish. Its assets include its stellar cast, filled with veteran actors and newcomers alike delivering moving, complex performances. Sadly, the deep bench that is the Squid Game ensemble does not apply to the crew of English-language actors, who come in to fill the various VIP roles in Episode 7 with all the nuance of a high school quarterback bombing an audition for the spring production....
