Microsoft has lifted the veil and introduced the world to the Xbox One, the oddly name successor of the Xbox 360. We now have seen what the “big three” have to offer this generation and until the Steam Box, Ouya, and other new consoles grab a big market share, it’s the Wii U vs. the PlayStation 4 vs. the Xbox One. Much of today’s presentation focused on the multimedia entertainment features Microsofts wants consumers to take advantage of in their living rooms, from a revamped Kinect system, more integrated and connected technologies and more general digital entertainment from the comfort of your home....

Apex Legends has found its stride once again with its most recent season and content updates. While not every balance change has been met with joy – pouring one out for Pathfinder’s grappling hook – the overall experience has never been better with so much new content. Players itching to get new cosmetics for Loba and their favorite legends may not have to wait much longer as the new summer sale is right around the corner....

Yup, we’re still at that stage where we’re left asking where the (dragon) balls the rest of our DLC for Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot is hiding. Seriously, we’ve had our hopes up for a good long while, what with over two months having passed since the release of the game’s first DLC at the end of April, so we deserve some more now don’t we? Bandai Namco’s radio silence isn’t entirely unlike what’s happened in the past, however....

Calculating and comparing the size of video game worlds can be quite a tricky endeavor. Games often take liberties in making their world traversable for the sake of gameplay - realism in this aspect would make a game dreadfully boring. Imagine walking the full length of Skyrim in real life when Skyrim is supposed to be a full country. With the grand variety of games that Final Fantasy has, it’s even trickier to try and compare them....

Metal Gear Solid is one of the most revolutionary games of all time. Being the first of its genre, it laid the foundation for stealth games that started to be generated over the course of three decades. Over time, the series created extremely memorable characters who have made many fans rally to their favorites. This has also made it fun to see which character fans would be based on their zodiac signs....

Almost immediately after the news broke that the remastered Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 & 2 will be releasing in September, people took to social media to complain about the fact that Skate 4 is still missing from their gaming libraries. While it’s fine to want the fourth iteration in the Skate series, especially following the success of the widely-adored Skate 3, it is unfair (and pointless) to direct any complaints or hostility towards the release of Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 & 2 - two titles, specifically, that arguably kicked off the genre of skateboarding video games and molded it into what it eventually became....

Marvel’s Midnight Suns arguably stole the show during last week’s Gamescom Opening Night ceremony, but the reveal of the upcoming strategy title’s gameplay has already caused a bit of a divide in what recently seemed to be a pretty enthusiastic fanbase. If you’re watching that gameplay reveal for the first time, you may be wondering what the big deal is. After all, most people assumed that Midnight Suns was going to be a strategy game set in the Marvel universe, and that’s pretty much what it seems to be....

News continues to pour out for the Nintendo Switch’s most-anticipated title, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, but as the December 7th release date for the jam-packed title approaches, many might be wondering why we’re not receiving news and updates from the source closest to the project – Super Smash Bros. creator, Masahiro Sakurai. Simply put: Masahiro Sakurai doesn’t tweet or answer questions on Twitter, at least in regards to the content within the games he develops....

Along with the title of best-selling game year after year, the Call of Duty series has also become the most scrutinized. Developers Infinity Ward and Treyarch have heard practically any and all complaints that can be waged at their products, and while they try to address gamers’ issues in subsequent iterations the list of problems only seems to grow. For Call of Duty: Ghosts, Infinity Ward is reportedly looking to eliminate one of the franchise’s more problematic “features” — one that gamers have been asking to be removed since the very first Modern Warfare....

Since a new Halo game, titled Halo: Infinite, was revealed at the Microsoft E3 briefing this year, many fans have been eagerly awaiting more news. At E3, Microsoft has only released a very short teaser trailer for the game, but after a recent tweet by Steve Downes, who voiced the Master Chief for almost all the previous Halo games, more details about the game may have been revealed. During E3, a GIF of the Master Chief in Halo: Infinite was posted by the official Halo account on Twitter....

We teased this idea in a previous piece by predicting possible conclusions to the Yellowstone story, and the argument has only grown stronger in season 5....

After leaving players hanging with the fate of action hero B.J. Blazkowicz back in 2014, MachineGames and Bethesda have finally released the next chapter of the planned trilogy, Wolfenstein 2: The New Colossus. Though the game has been out for a few weeks now at this point, Bethesda has announced its roadmap for continuing to support the popular first person shooter.

World of Warcraft players have been searching for a cat for almost a year. In September 2019, Blizzard released Battle for Azeroth, the best-selling expansion ever for the world’s longest-running MMORPG. Along with a story-packed quest for WoW players to follow, Battle for Azeroth also added a mysterious side quest to find the lost cat belonging to an elf.

One of the first new projects Warner Bros. announced in an attempt to entice viewers and lead them to their new streaming service HBO Max was a much-desired ‘director’s cut’ of 2017’s Justice League, aptly renamed Zack Snyder’s Justice League. The release promises to fulfill Snyder’s original directorial vision for the film after he had to leave the project midway through due to a family emergency. Indeed, when Justice League was first released in 2017, it received largely negative reviews from critics....

It’s no exaggeration that virtually every modern 3D game owes its existence to The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. The first 3D entry in the franchise, Ocarina of Time’s Nintendo 64 release showcased exactly what was possible in a post-2D medium, all while laying a foundation which gaming as a whole still builds off of. While essays could be written on the elegance of Ocarina of Time’s dungeon & world design, something needs to be said for how well Link controls....
