One of the most anticipated RPGs for the Nintendo Switch this year came in the form of a Xenoblade Chronicles remaster. Yes, the original game on Wii was just that memorable and epic. With its wondrous settings, charming characters, and uniquely fun combat, this quickly became one of the most renowned RPGs of the last decade. Still, the game wasn’t without its blemishes and limitations; not surprising given that the original release is now a decade old....

The new Trackmania game is not a subscription model - you just have to keep paying for it. Trackmania, a new reboot, was announced last week. You can grab the base game for free, but you’ll have to pay for access to the track editor in full. It’s $9.99 per year for full access to the track editor, or $29.99 per year for Club Access, which includes racing leagues for Club members, exclusive skins, and more....

During an interview with the “I Minutemen,” Zack Snyder revealed he has “been thinking about” a “faithful retelling of that Arthurian mythological concept.” Despite being a relatively off-hand comment, the legends of King Arthur could prove fertile ground for Snyder. After all, they are public domain anyway and have been reimagined throughout the centuries, with the “definitive source” of Thomas Malory’s 15th century Le Morte d’Arthur itself a reworking of even older sources....

One of the most beloved and cozy areas in any Zelda game is Kakariko Village — a small hamlet present in many iterations of Hyrule that feels like a safe recluse from the rest of the world. Many times, Link’s quest has taken him through this village, where he’ll find new characters to help him on his journey. Kakariko first appeared in A Link to the Past, and Link ventured here to gain some crucial information on his quest to save Princess Zelda....

Zynga today announced the launch of Puzzle Combat, a new match-3 game from the studio behind Empires & Puzzles. The casual title will see you competing in PvP battles, collecting new heroes, and building a sprawling base camp – along with the usual puzzle-matching shenanigans. Puzzle Combat is said to feature more than 200 unique heroes, many with their own skills and abilities to help you in battle. Beyond the usual hero-collecting and base-building, PvP and PvE content seems to be a big draw, with “extensive PvP raid seasons” that offer exclusive rewards and a “cooperative alliance game mode” that sees you and your allies facing off against rival teams....

Sony and Guerilla Games have remained largely silent about what’s coming in Horizon: Forbidden West, the highly anticipated sequel to 2017’s Horizon Zero Dawn, but that hasn’t stopped fans from speculating what could be next in Aloy’s journey. The Forbidden West trailer seemingly had quite a few hints, showing Aloy exploring underwater regions, investigating a mysterious red plant, and riding past the ruins of the Golden Gate Bridge. Dangerous new machine, new tribes, and countless other challenges await her on the west coast of the former United States....

It should be noted that the current information regarding gameplay is, at best, a preview of what is to come....

Picture the scene: A camera pans over the charred remains of what was once a large section of dense rainforest in the Central American banana republic of Val Verde. Suddenly, the cloaked feet of a Predator come into view. The alien hunter plunges a barely visibly claw down into the ashen ground where flora and fauna once flourished. A second later, the severed arm of a Predator is pulled from the shattered earth....

Grand Theft Auto has always been known as a series for its satirical take on American culture, creating pastiches of everything from major American cities to different brands of Scientology. Fans of the franchise, however, have received little news about the future of the series beyond rumors, and have even been told by some of the voice actors behind Grand Theft Auto 5 not to expect the next game any time soon....

What begins as a routine caving expedition organized to help a group of friends reconnect after a tragic accident unravels to become a desperate fight for survival.

Is this the end of Warrior? It certainly seems that way as far as Cinemax is concerned. It’s a shame because the Bruce Lee inspired martial arts series continued to pick up steam throughout its second season. Like with any period fantasy, the first season of Warrior was devoted to quite a lot of world building. The cast was diverse, but somewhat stereotyped. The Chinese were all Kung Fu gangsters, prostitutes, or coolies....

World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade Classic is on the way, allowing players to experience WoW’s first expansion all over again as they journey beyond the Dark Portal to do battle with the outcast forces of Illidan Stormrage and the demonic Burning Legion. Unlike the original WoW Classic, Blizzard has already announced that there will be a few key changes coming to The Burning Crusade. While some WoW fans may be worried about Blizzard making edits to the expansion, there’s another big question which is still up in the air regarding one of The Burning Crusade’s most memorable moments....

World of Warcraft: Burning Crusade Classic is on the way, bringing WoW Classic’s model into the first expansion’s era. The Burning Crusade added eleven new zones to the game, including long-awaited areas first seen on Azeroth in Warcraft 3 and the entire shattered world of Outland, once the home of the Orcs and Draenei. Not all Burning Crusade zones are made equally, however. Some new areas saw WoW’s traditional fantasy setting give way to new science-fiction influences with great success, while others were less able to stick the landing, so here’s how zones which will be making their second debut compare in World of Warcraft: Burning Crusade Classic....

WWE Undefeated has arrived. Available on mobile devices right now, WWE Undefeated is an over the top arcade game that features WWE superstars in a head-to-head brawler. WWE Undefeated uses an animated cartoony style, much like the recent WWE 2K Battlegrounds that launched earlier this year. At a glance, the games look very similar, utilizing the same visual style and bombastic moves. However, WWE Undefeated plays in a 2.5D style and uses a card collecting system....

The Xbox team has revealed the March 2021 collection of “free” Games with Gold titles, and while none of the upcoming additions to the service’s library are likely to blow you away, it’s an enjoyable array of largely obscure games that may appeal to the more adventurous Xbox Live subscribers out there willing to take the kind of chance on the kind of experience with the words “Llama Apocalypse” in the title....

Xbox head Phil Spencer seemingly ruled out the possibility of a VR headset for the next-gen line-up in February of last year, but now? A new update message seems to indicate that Microsoft has something cooking that it’s keeping under its sleeve. One user, installing a new Xbox Wireless Headset, got a message that read: “Il visore VR deve essere aggiornato” which translates, “The VR headset needs to be updated.” Given that Xbox doesn’t have an official VR headset in the market, this is a weird pop-up to get, one that can’t be an accident....

Game studio PlayDead burst onto the scene with the highly praised indie game Limbo. Featuring an engrossing atmosphere, innovative puzzle/platformer gameplay, and a haunting art style, the game was critically acclaimed, and even headlined the Summer of Arcade on Xbox 360 five years ago. PlayDead is continuing their relationship with Microsoft for their second project, Inside. The game retains the side-scrolling nature and general tone of Limbo, but goes off into new, interesting art style directions....
