Recently, Dotemu and Tribute Games shocked the gaming world by revealing Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge; a tribute to the TMNT beat ’em up classics of the late ’80s and early ’90s. As you can tell by the project’s debut trailer, Shredder’s Revenge looks to emulate the sights, sounds, and gameplay of what are generally remembered as some of the best arcade action games of their era. Given the resumes of the teams working on this project (which include some of the talent responsible for Streets of Rage 4 and the brilliant Scott Pilgrim game), it’s surprisingly easy to be confident in their ability to craft a modern TMNT beat ’em up that feels worthy of the surprisingly enduring TMNT franchise and the best TMNT video games....

While there are many ways in which a culture keeps itself alive, one of the single most important manners of doing so is in the telling of stories. It is through our collective stories that we are aware as individuals, who we are, where we came from, and what we stand for. The same goes for games - as in World of Warcraft. I can’t remember who said it, but there is a fantastic line I throw at my writing students at the beginning of each year: If you don’t tell your story, then someone else will....

The wrestling world was shocked back in January at WWE’s Royal Rumble event when Ronda Rousey came out and made it known she was now part of the WWE roster, which at the time caused concern over the impact it would have on UFC 3 and her appearing in that game.

It was announced with a new trailer for WWE 2K19 that Rousey would be joining the roster as a pre-order bonus for the upcoming game....

What Does Platter Mean? A platter is a circular magnetic plate that is used for storing data in a hard disk. It is often made of aluminum, glass substrate or ceramic.

Xbox used to be synonymous with Call of Duty. Activision’s blockbuster shooter franchise was practically the face of Xbox Live, and would routinely be used to market the 360 throughout its life cycle. But after the Xbox One stumbled out of the gate in 2013, Activision has allied itself with PlayStation in the years since. Subsequent entries even received updates and DLC on PS4 before Xbox, which felt like the final nail in the coffin of CoD and Microsoft’s entanglements....

With his 2017 directorial debut Get Out, Jordan Peele revolutionized contemporary horror by tackling racism head-on without sacrificing scares. Peele himself considers the movie, which stars Daniel Kaluuya as a photographer on his way to meet his white girlfriend’s family for the first time, a social thriller. This means Get Out hinges its suspenseful narrative on the experiences of oppressed people - specifically African Americans. An encounter Kaluuya’s character Chris Washington already dreads quickly turns sinister as he finds himself in the middle of a wealthy, white conspiracy to abduct and subjugate black people....

If you asked us in early 2017 what the next Resident Evil game would be, we would have confidently announced that, of course, the next RE will be built for the ground up in VR.

Today, while rumors of Resident Evil 8, RE4 Remake, and Code Veronica make headlines almost daily, we’re still wondering: where the heck is Resident Evil VR?...

If there’s just one video game franchise I’d die on a hill for, it’s the Worms franchise from Team17. Worms Armageddon is one of the earliest multiplayer games I played on PC, my friend and I switching off at the keyboard as we attempted to absolutely obliterate one another’s worms in the most hilarious ways possible. In college, Worms 3D brought me back to the wiggly action with an entirely new perspective....

Who would have guessed 10 years ago that a video game system produced by Microsoft would come to be a leading contender in the console wars? The Xbox, now celebrating its 10-year anniversary, was either going to be a hit or miss with its debut, back when the reign that Sony had over the industry with the PlayStation 2 was quite strong. What would come of the Xbox is a tale that is already told, but let’s take a look back through the past 10 years at its flourishing history....
