From storming the beaches of Normandy to battling zombies in a burning house, these are the 10 craziest campaign missions in Call of Duty series history. Since 2003, the Call of Duty series has been delivering story campaigns full of crazy missions that try to outdo each other with over-the-top set-pieces, surprising plot twists, and disturbing moments. There have been over 100 Call of Duty missions to date, but out of all of the missions fans have played through so far, these 10 are the craziest....

While its legacy is divisive, the Nintendo Wii is one of the most successful consoles of all time. Its unique way of gameplay mixed with classic Nintendo titles made it memorable, yet the machine’s lack of power compared to the competition and consistent content droughts made it hard for fans to stay loyal. Still, to this day, we still see games making their way to the system. Most recently, it was announced Shakedown: Miami will be released on the Wii, but it is hardly the only strange title we’ve seen make its way to the system....

RPGs (role-playing games) can immerse players like few other video game genres. They place players in the shoes of a fictional character in a fictional world. This is the genre with the most impressive customization options. You know that you’re in an RPG when you make game-changing decisions that affect the plot. It would be an oversight not to include a gripping main story in an RPG. In a saturated genre, there is plenty of room for missteps....

Animal Crossing: New Horizons has recently celebrated its one-year anniversary. In this time fans have fallen in love with the newest addition to the Animal Crossing franchise, in which players can customize their own island. However, they’ve also managed to create some hilarious, albeit worrying, theories about the game itself. The game has always had a very mindful and relaxing atmosphere to it. Planting flowers and collecting fruit from trees whilst butterflies flutter past you - it all seems idyllic....

Dark Souls has redefined action role-playing games by being an outlier in the genre. Because of its fame and unique gameplay, many consider Dark Souls to be a new genre and not one from a pre-existing category, along the lines of a Super Mario Kart or Doom. Plenty of games have tried to copy Dark Souls because of its unique formula. Some have even been controversially deemed Souls-likes (you’ll see). Since there are so many Dark Souls copycats out there, it’s only natural that we would compile this list....

Nintendo’s Game Boy is one of the most historically significant video game consoles ever made. During its 14 year lifespan, it sold nearly 120 million units making it one of the best selling consoles of all time. Its original design provided the foundation on which many of Nintendo’s subsequent consoles have been built. It singlehandedly created the handheld market and, together with its future iterations, dominated it for more than two decades....

Disco Elysium is one of those incredible games that make a case for gaming being a perfect medium for discussing very real, very serious issues. It does this whilst also being written well and set in a world that has had so much thought and care put into it. While players romp around the city of Revachol trying to solve a murder, it can be all too easy to miss some of the finer details or fail to solve some of the game’s more devious puzzles....

“Darling it’s better, down where it’s wetter, take it from me!” Subnautica is immensely popular with loads of players trying to survive in the watery depths of a foreign world. Famous YouTubers like Markiplier have even gone through the entire game for their fans (in a 78 part series nonetheless). With Subnautica and Subnautica: Below Zero having recently come to Nintendo Switch, players might want to dig into the game with new eyes and try new things they’ve never experienced before....

It’s really amazing how perfect the timing was between the rise of the fighting game genre and the dawn of the Super Nintendo Entertainment System. The SNES was released in late 1990 and Street Fighter II: The World Warrior hit arcades in early 1991. At the time, the 16-bit consoles were able to make decent ports of those early fighting games and, because of the design of its controllers, the SNES generally supported that genre better than the Genesis....

15 Saeko And Her Sister As you bond more with Saeko, she reveals more about her relationship with her sister and how she pushed herself away from her after the death of their mother. Despite this, Saeko still watches over her sister. She intervenes when she believes her sister’s boyfriend is taking advantage of her and runs him out of town with the help of Ichiban. While another, better man decides to try and win her over, this is where the story ends....

Over the past few years PC requirements for new releases have been mostly an afterthought. In most cases, while some games require a high end rig to run at Ultra settings, others can get by with a moderately priced one. Soon, however, it seems we might be reaching a tipping point where the mid-range PC no longer cuts it. This week, for example, Ubisoft unveiled their minimum and recommended PC requirements for Assassin’s Creed Unity, and let’s just say this game is no slouch....

The eagerly anticipated downloadable competitive shooter Counter-Strike: Global Offensive released this week after rigorous testing and while Game Rant’s review isn’t live just yet, we can safely say that CS:GO has proven to be a little bit buggy. Thankfully, Valve’s been quickly working to fix some of the obvious bugs and has already released the first update for the PC version of the game via Steam. The update addresses several matchmaking issues, along with a few damage/shooting mechanics-related bugs....

Bungie’s long-awaited game, Destiny, was finally released today after setting the record for being the most pre-ordered new IP in video game history, just months after Ubisoft’s Watch Dogs set a record for becoming the fastest selling new IP. The makers of the Halo franchise set another record this summer when Destiny had the biggest beta test of this generation — 4.6 million people tested Destiny in July. Check out our videos from the beta here....

First-person shooters have been an integral part of gaming since the early ’90s with games like Wolfenstein 3D and Doom. While many are into these games for the multiplayer offerings, they usually all come packed in with extensive single-player campaigns. However, some of these are just way too short. The following games below made it onto the list for several reasons. Either they take six or fewer hours to complete, they end at what feels like the halfway point, or they lack any multiplayer offering, so the campaign’s length simply is not enough to justify a full purchase....

An upcoming documentary, titled From Bedrooms To Billions: The PlayStation Revolution, will be a nostalgia trip across the ages, peering back at what has made Sony’s in-home entertainment system truly epic and extraordinary. It is the third film in the Bedrooms To Billions series and was funded via a Kickstarter campaign, which first began all the way back in 2017. Now, only three years later, filmmakers Anthony and Nicola Caulfield will take viewers back in time on the eve of Sony’s own next-generation system, showcasing the gaming legend that is the PlayStation....

In preparation for Tuesday’s release of the Halo 4 ‘Champions Bundle,’ two new support upgrades have been released in the game’s most recent title update, available to players free of charge. Between 343 Industries’ releases today and tomorrow, Spartans will have plenty of new material to keep themselves busy. Consumers who are willing to shell out 800 Microsoft Points (roughly $10) tomorrow will gain access to the full ‘Champions Bundle.’ If you prefer to pick and choose which add-on content to use, three smaller bundles will also be available....

Developers bitComposer are set to prepare you for the Jagged Alliance: Back in Action journey with a new video detailing the tactical side of combat - which features a brand new system never before seen in a Jagged Alliance game....

EA sports is usually pretty witty when it comes to marketing the Madden NFL games, where they routinely chirp teams who under-perform in the Super Bowl and keep fans up to date on the series. Though last year’s game was a little underwhelming, the new Madden 15 was created for next generation consoles - and gamers have high expectations now that the franchise has jumped the gap between old and new consoles....

When developer Mojang first announced that an Xbox 360 port of the popular PC title Minecraft was in the works few could have predicted how successful the port would be. In fact, many fans thought that the Xbox 360 edition of Minecraft would play second fiddle to its more capable brother. As it turns, Minecraft: Xbox 360 Edition has been a huge success story, both for Mojang and Microsoft. It’s success has paved the way for a handful of other Minecraft ports — mobile, PlayStation, and Xbox One — while also becoming one of the most successful Xbox 360 games ever....

As the hotly anticipated Mortal Kombat X nears release, we’ve come to know a great deal about the game’s ever-growing roster of fighters and its intriguing story mode. Now, the official list of achievements for the biggest fighting game release of 2015 has been published online — beware, some spoilers may follow.
