Mobile game fans may want to shift their attention to an orange bandicoot spinning its way onto their devices. Crash Bandicoot sees his second release of the year hit the Google Play Store and Apple App Store in 2021. Crash Bandicoot: On The Run aims to add a notable mobile release to this year’s schedule. After the franchise’s repeated success in the form of N Sane Trilogy and Crash Bandicoot 4: It’s About Time, it’s unsurprising that Activision plans to expand this marsupial’s horizons....

With the addition of the Supremacy DLC pack to Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare, a brand new Exo Zombies map has been added to the game. This map is called Carrier and it takes takes place on a large Atlus military ship, and even features Bruce Campbell as a new playable character. As is the case with every Exo Zombies map in Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare, Carrier features an elaborate Easter egg that can be completed in order to unlock special in-game bonuses as well as to unlock an achievement....

Although Diablo 3 had one of the most controversial launches in recent gaming history, Blizzard’s hack-and-slash dungeon crawler has bounced back quite well during the last year. The game had some big improvement patches, solid console ports, and players are now looking forward to the upcoming expansion pack (Reaper of Souls) which promises another batch of improvements. It’s hard to please lifelong fans of the game’s genre-defining predecessor, but Blizzard is working hard to improve the action-RPG experience....

Fallout: New Vegas was originally released last fall, but has continued to stay relevant through a series of patches and DLC releases. After the first DLC offering, Dead Money, Bethesda announced that gamers would see three more DLC episodes in the coming months. The latest DLC episode, Old World Blues, is about to launch and we have new screenshots from it as well as details on New Vegas’ latest patch....

The task of recreating and updating the very best of Halo 2 is no easy task, but the developers at 343 Industries are looking to do just that with Halo: The Master Chief Collection. Vowing to keep the mechanics of Halo 2’s multiplayer intact regardless of the update, the question of which maps would be revisited has been on the mind of every fan. Now the isolated, frenzied and frozen ‘Lockout’ can be added to the list....

It’s been nearly two decades since fans last played a new entry in the long-dormant Killer Instinct series, and enough time had passed that many thought the franchise was put out to pasture long ago. Since the game had effectively been missing in action since 1996, it was a little more than surprising when Microsoft announced a followup to the arcade classic at E3 2013. Gamers hoping for a solid fighter will more than find it in Killer Instinct, but there are a few issues that keep it from feeling like a next-gen game....

Electronic Arts confirmed the existence of Medal of Honor: Warfighter nearly two weeks ago. Since that time, a number of details have come to light, but fans have been left waiting for their first look at the game in action. That changes today. An explosive teaser trailer for Medal of Honor: Warfighter has hit the web. The trailer names October 23, 2012, as the game’s release date, and promises that a Limited Edition version will be available for pre-order at no additional cost....

With the release of Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain still shrouded in mystery, gamers have been anticipating their first taste of the upcoming game with the launch of its prologue Ground Zeros. Despite worries that the the experience will be too short, the Metal Gear Solid franchise’s first next-gen outing intends to prepare gamers for what is looking to be one of the most ambitious projects in modern gaming....

Sega is known for their hedgehog mascot and battling Nintendo during the early days of the console wars. Since then, they threw in the towel on creating hardware, and found success in partnering with Nintendo while developing games such as Sonic and Mario at the Olympics and including Sonic in the last two outings for the Super Smash Bros. franchise. Sega isn’t the only developer who pairs well with Nintendo; Game Freak is a Japanese studio whose success is directly tied to one of Nintendo’s most profitable franchises....

Capcom’s numbering scheme for the Street Fighter franchise has become something of a running joke. It started back in 1991, when Street Fighter II: The World Warrior took arcades and consoles by storm. The game was immensely popular, sucking up millions of quarters and hours upon hours of players’ time, and Capcom wanted to keep the momentum going. Instead of creating a direct sequel, the studio decided to simply reiterate on the Street Fighter II brand, making incremental changes over the course of many years....

In recent years, the first-person shooter market has become one of the most saturated in the gaming community. As such, it’s refreshing when a game comes along that introduces a new mechanic which has never been seen before, or expands upon one from the past. The Darkness 2 is one such game which has managed to pique the interest of many gamers with its inclusion of a feature which has been dubbed “quad-wielding....

Halloween is some people’s favorite time of year. Candy is everywhere, people can indulge in cosplay, and it’s an excuse to watch terrifying movies and play ultra scary video games. But the classic franchises like Resident Evil, Silent Hill, or F.E.A.R. might be overwhelming for gamers who find horror classics like The Thing, The Exorcist, or even Get Out bone-chilling. But there are plenty of survival horror games that are perfect for that particular brand of horror aficionado....

There’s no denying the popularity and success of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. Having gone a decade as a solid game that almost everyone has tried or played extensively, it’s safe to say it managed more than perfectly to create the recipe for a brilliant open-world medieval fantasy game. With tons of quests and customization, players aren’t likely to run out of content either. Despite how well-thought-out Skyrim is, like every other game out there, it definitely has its flaws and weird elements....

Whenever a new superhero movie launches, chances are scenes from it will forever be a part of the meme culture. But Spider-Man is a whole different ballgame. The character became a household name years ago, and about the same time, became a classic meme. People don’t have to wait for the new movie to see funny Spider-Man posts cause these memes are everywhere thanks to the comics. Moreover, there are countless parodies of the character as well, but the Tom Holland movies are probably funnier....

Due to the failure of WWE 2K20, the game’s developers have announced a spin-off title in WWE 2K Battlegrounds. However, that game isn’t part of the main series, which will get a new release sometime in the future. With quite a long wait ahead before this title is released, it makes sense to consider the improvements and additions that will make the next main entry worthy of purchase. Luckily for the developers, there’s quite a bit of room to implement these things, and the next WWE video game can benefit greatly from the extra time....

The sci-fi genre has explored a number of interesting technological advancements over the years that have moved to reality as science catches up to the fiction, which can be seen in the major developments in robotics technology that has followed decades of cinematic robotic innovations that began with Forbidden Planet’s Robby the Robot in 1951. However, sci-fi fans are hoping that the real robotics industry will stick to producing some of the many adorably cute robots that have appeared on the big screen over the years instead of the deadly killer robots that sit at the other extreme of the genre....

The 2000s was a great decade for gaming all around. From technological advancements to new consoles and classic games, the decade had it all. Looking back, though, it’s crazy to see just how much the gaming industry has changed since then. In a way, it’s much of the same thing happening over again, as technological advancements continue to be made and there’s still a steady flow of great games coming out....

Story of Season: Pioneers of Olive Town is a great addition to the series that pushes the farming sim genre even further. Olive Town is a fun, vibrant location that is filled with unique characters to meet and befriend. There are ten marriage candidates to choose from, tons of crops to grow, and you can customize your farm. While there is a lot to do in the bustling little tourist location, players have begun to notice some things that just don’t make sense about Olive Town....

The Elder Scrolls series has a lot of characters that players can meet and do quests for or just talk to. Some of these encounters provide interesting dialogue that discusses the lore or offers helpful tips. Then there are some encounters that might be a bit weird. Whether it’s two NPCs arguing with each other over something very trivial or NPCs approaching the players and making odd requests, The Elder Scrolls knows how to make things awkward....

One of the biggest surprises of Microsoft’s E3 2017 press conference was the announcement that original Xbox backward compatibility would be coming to Xbox One.
