Link and Geralt are respectable and iconic in their own right. Both share similarities, like being loners and also the last of their kind. However, since they fall into the same category these two instigate debate of who is better. Much like the debate of who could win between Goku and Superman, both Link and Geralt can share the same plight. The age-long debate of who is better can never be put to rest....
The Legend of Zelda has one of the most interesting and confusing timelines in the history of gaming. When Breath of the Wild released, one thing was apparent: the game took place after all previous entries. But, the question of which exact timeline it was placed in lingered. Game director Hidemaro Fujibayashi told Famitsu (translated by Siliconera) back in August,“That’s… up to the player’s imagination, isn’t it?” This line of thinking has not changed....

At E3 2017, Sony put the spotlight on Insomniac’s upcoming PS4 exclusive Spider-Man game in a big way, selecting it as the title to close out its show. The response to Spider-Man’s E3 demo seems to have been mostly positive, though some fans have been confused about the game’s villain, with some even mistaking him as a brand new character made specifically for the game. On the contrary, Spider-Man’s villain has been a part of the comics for a decade now, and his name is Mister Negative....
This article contains Black Widow spoilers. Black Widow has one of the best openings of any MCU movie yet, and I will fight you on that. The story begins in Ohio, circa 1995, where a young Natasha Romanov is living with her Soviet spy family in quasi-but-not-totally-fake family bliss. The domestic dream ends once Alexei has completed his mission, forcing the family to make a dangerous getaway from the suburbs that ends in a tarmac shootout in which Melina gets shot and pre-teen Natasha has to pilot a plane on her own in order to save her family....
Final Fantasy VIII Remastered is due to be released for Nintendo Switch, PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One in 2020. Even with this news, though, there are many fans still surprised that the game is being remastered at all. Square Enix has ported many of the classic Final Fantasy titles to other systems, but it felt as if Final Fantasy VIII was being snubbed. The Nintendo Switch received ports of Final Fantasy VII, Final Fantasy IX, Final Fantasy X/X-2, and Final Fantasy XII within a short space of time, yet Final Fantasy VIII still isn’t available on mobile phones, even though the other PlayStation Final Fantasy games are....
Activision Blizzard announced that the company intends to apply the Call of Duty framework to its other franchises. With the joint company owning dozens of different games with massively different audiences, the gaming community is not sure if this plan will work. Activision Blizzard may have exceeded expectations during their final quarter, but that does not mean their Call of Duty model was completely to blame. While the current Call of Duty formula has seen massive success among its community, it does not mean that it will work for every community....
Rumors about the development of Grand Theft Auto 6 have been circulating more frequently than usual, and leak after leak suggests that we might finally be getting a formal announcement about the sequel to GTAV, released in 2013. Now seems like the perfect time to consider who our protagonists would be in this sequel and if Rockstar Games finally makes the leap towards offering players a female protagonist. All Men By Design Beginning with Grand Theft Auto III (since before that all characters had the same, simplistic overhead design) the protagonists of each game have been a man....
2018 will mark three years since the launch of Halo 5: Guardians, and fans still have yet to see anything concrete about Halo 6. However, since Halo is Xbox’s flagship franchise, there is no question that the game is in active development at 343 Industries. Unfortunately for anyone hoping to play Master Chief’s next adventure by the end of the year, though, that doesn’t seem likely. 343 Industries recently addressed the community in a blog post, which suggests that Halo 6 may not release in 2018....
Winter is coming. Still. More than 11 years after the last published entry in the “A Song of Ice and Fire” book series, aka the source material that Game of Thrones is based on, author George R.R. Martin took to his lovably antiquated blog—complete with its “Not a Blog” name—to reiterate his apocalyptic blizzard remains forthcoming. Of course these periodic reminders are less newsworthy than they were five years ago. For most of the last decade, Martin has blogged to his loyal literary fans that The Winds of Winter remains a priority, even after Game of Thrones surpassed Martin’s printed story roughly around 2016....

World of Warcraft game director Ion Hazzikostas says Blizzard knows it messed up with Warlords of Draenor, but believes that the Legion expansion can make it right.

The developer finally unveiled a new hero named Sombra for Overwatch and also pulled back the curtain on the Necromancer, a new playable class for Diablo 3.

World of Warcraft players recently learned the release date for Shadowlands expansion after a full year of waiting. Now that everyone knows the next expansion arrives at the end of October, players are racing around finishing up their final Battle for Azeroth tasks and getting their characters ready for the transition to a new adventure.
