Vikings have definitely come back into fashion. The past few years alone have given audiences several movies, TV shows, and video games inspired by these imposing explorers and their mythology. Among the most high-profile titles is Assassin’s Creed Valhalla. After depicting numerous different time periods with their historical fiction franchise, Ubisoft brought the Assassin Brotherhood into the Viking Age in possibly the company’s biggest game to date, adding enough sim elements to keep players busy for hours on end....

Paper Mario: The Origami King has now been out for a month, and players are discovering all the hidden wonders of the Nintendo Switch game. As the sixth installment in the RPG series, Origami King incorporates elements from previous titles, such as the inclusion of partners and battle audiences, while also introducing new features like the battle system. The incredibly detailed world is filled with secrets as Mario works to end the feud between flat and folded paper....

Hideo Kojima’s seminal 1998 PlayStation action game, Metal Gear Solid, is legendary for a variety of reasons. Its narrative and characters are often praised for their depth and complexity, but one should not forget how revolutionary the gameplay was. The stealth mechanics were perfect, providing an unparalleled level of interaction with the world. To remind players just how versatile the environment was for the time, the following list will point out ten lesser-known actions Solid Snake could do during his romp through Shadow Moses....

Horizon Zero Dawn was a game that came out of Guerrilla Game’s desire to create something new. Prior to this game’s release, the studio had made a series of successful first-person shooter games in the form of Killzone. Horizon Zero Dawn was different from Killzone in every single way, right down to its main protagonist. Aloy, the hero of the story, is already turning out to be a fan favorite. Her demeanor, bravery, and affinity for knowledge have made fans fall in love with this character the more they learn about her....

As narrative-driven games have grown in popularity, so too has the depth of their storytelling. The narratives of many modern titles are now woven together using so many different story threads that it can sometimes be difficult to keep track of them all. While this can lead to some fantastic tales, there’s a very fine line between complex and confusing. Over the years, many games have fallen on the wrong side of this line....

The history of video games is filled with brief eras of “clone” titles. In the early ’90s, there were various “Doom clones” that are now known as revolutionary first-person shooters. In the ’80s, Dragon Quest clones eventually contributed to the global rise of the JRPG genre. Even now, you still have incredible games trying to free themselves of the “Dark Souls clone” label. Yet, there are few clones that have historically received less respect than Resident Evil clones....

The holiday season is right around the corner, which means gamers will be seeing plenty of games released in the next few months. While a few large titles that were expected to release in the fall of 2018 were delayed into 2019, such as Kingdom Hearts 3 and Anthem, several huge games are still set to launch in the coming months, so hopefully, no one feels disappointed by this year’s lineup....

The announcement of the Assassin’s Creed: Ezio Trilogy, while a smart way to get gamers caught up on the story so far, left many wondering why Ubisoft wouldn’t simply pack in the only other AC title, the first Assassin’s Creed, for good measure. As it turns out, that was because an even bigger collection, an Assassin’s Creed Anthology was being created for release some time in 2013. Not only does the Anthology feature all previously released AC titles, including this year’s Assassin’s Creed 3, it also packs in each game’s associated DLC....

In what has become a weekly blogpost, Baldur’s Gate 3 developers Larian Studios has released its tenth community update. In it, the devs break down all of the bug fixes and updates in today’s “big patch” and share some interesting data they’ve collected from players. Apparently, not all companions have been romanced equally. According to their data, Gale is the character most commonly “romanced” by players. He’s been the object of desire for 33% of players....

It’s no secret that most die-hard Call of Duty fans spend the vast majority of their time playing the military shooter in competitive multiplayer matches. Infinity Ward has undeniably spent plenty of time carefully crafting the multiplayer offerings for Call of Duty: Ghosts, but the developer is also dedicating resources and energy to improving the first-person shooter’s campaign mode. Ghosts will offer some larger, less linear campaign levels to switch things up for players....

Destiny fans are all now very aware of the fact that the game’s second expansion, House of Wolves, will be launching without a new raid. While that surely saddens many, the DLC’s new cooperative game mode, Prison of Elders, will be a unique and enjoyable addition that should help tide Destiny players over until the next raid is released. The pain of no new raid would probably be lessened if Bungie decided to add an extra difficulty level to Destiny’s two current raids, but the developer revealed that no such additions will be coming....

Timed exclusivity eventually frustrates gamers on all sides of the console wars. Knowing that a game would be ready for one’s console of choice except that publishers and console developers made a deal to delay the delivery of the game to all other consoles just makes gamers angry. So when BioWare and Electronic Arts announced that Dragon Age: Inquisition’s first DLC expansion, Jaws of Hakkon would be released for PC and Xbox One on March 24th, and that all other systems would have to wait for Jaws of Hakkon until sometime in May, many gamers became extremely upset....

Lock and load, gamers. There’s a psychopath running things in Kyrat and it’s time to go insane and kill everyone associated with him. If you loved the beautiful open-world vistas of Ubisoft’s Far Cry 3 and the fun-focused, action-packed gameplay it offered, then you’ll totally dig Far Cry 4. Coming a quick two years after the release of Far Cry 3, the fourth core franchise installment puts players in the boots of Ajay Ghale as he visits his native homeland of the fictional Himalayan region of Kyrat to spread his mother’s ashes....

After a months-long run in closed and then open beta, Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft has finally entered into the public realm. Not that much has changed since entering open beta, but now the free-to-play game is available to all gamers on PC and Mac, and should be as close to a “finished product” as we’re going to get. Since the launch of its closed beta Hearthstone has been generating a ton of buzz, reinvigorating the collectible card game craze, only with the requisite Blizzard flair....

Timing, they say, is everything. Yesterday’s announcement that Green Arrow is joining the ranks of playable heroes in NetherRealm Studios’ Injustice: Gods Among Us leads nicely to tonight’s series premier of Arrow on The CW. Likewise, with New York Comic Con 2012 kicking off tomorrow (and Injustice making an appearance), today presents the perfect opportunity to unveil the game’s box art. Cue publisher Warner Bros. Interactive, which did exactly that this morning....

Journey is a confounding game to review. That is largely by design, and one could say the same about thatgamecompany’s previous efforts, flOw and Flower. Although it is possessed of mechanics that evolve over the course of the experience, Journey isn’t about its mechanics in the way that, say, Modern Warfare 3 is about shooting things. Indeed, discovery defines the experience of playing Journey as much as anything can be said to....

LittleBigPlanet is easily one of the best platformers (only platformer?) that Sony has on the PlayStation 3, and its ‘Play. Create. Share.’ philosophy is one of the main reasons the series has done so well. Like all great platforming icons, however, it was only a matter of time before Sackboy took a step away from the monotony of continuously walking right, and proceeded to jump behind the wheel of a kart....

It’s hard to imagine any film starring Lindsay Lohan finding a second life in the video game space (as tempting as I Know Who Killed Me) may sound. But few films based on the drama of rumor-mongering high school girls have proven as much of a cult hit as Mean Girls - and the developer of Mean Girls: The Game is looking to make the most of it. Seriously. Perfectly-titled developer So Much Drama Studios has today unveiled the project coming to iOS “soon,” claiming to be the dream come true for any mobile gamer who has felt personally victimized by Regina George....
