There are two kinds of people in the world: those who are fans of anime, and liars. Anime is more popular than ever before which has resulted in many games being made for famous franchises. CyberConnect2 is a game studio known for creating anime games with their most recent release of Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot being a serious success. With Fuga: Melodies of Steel set to release in 2021, it’s the perfect time to look back on the games CyberConnect2 has made over the years to see how they all stack up....

Over the years, there have been many great horror games that have slipped under the radar. These 10 spooky games in particular are the best you’ve never played. When gamers are looking for quality horror games to play this Halloween, they are always given the same suggestions: Resident Evil, Silent Hill 2, Amnesia: The Dark Descent - and the list goes on. While those games are some of the best the genre has to offer, there are many other horror titles that don’t get the attention they deserve....

The summer update for GTA Online has finally arrived and is a little lackluster compared to what fans were expecting. There are plenty of new cars to play with, missions to explore, and the Diamond Casino adversary series, but this feels hollow. Rockstar pointed out these new additions, but they left out some important, although smaller, updates that were also added that make the DLC a little better. Many of these small updates went unnoticed as fans quickly latched onto the biggest parts of the update....

Resident Evil Village is one of the most hyped releases of this year. This latest installment to the Capcom horror series first revealed itself with a Gothic horror trailer that sparked curiosity. It set that curiosity ablaze with the reveal of its main antagonist, Lady Dimitrescu, a very tall vampire woman. The game has been widely lauded since release, and the love of Lady Dimitrescu hasn’t subsided. After playing a game like Resident Evil Village, one might understandably still be in the mood for some horror....

The latest craze in memes is the Invincible meme. It’s based on that scene from Invincible where a murderous Superman analog scolds his half-human son condescendingly because of his unwillingness to comply and listen to his twisted ideals. Naturally, that scene spoke to and resonated with many gamers who have drawn parallels with villains talking down to heroes or vice versa appearing in many common games. Hence, Invincible’s meme template is an opportunity for gamers to immortalize (and summarize) the most memorable gaming moments....

When news broke a few weeks ago that Marvel and Telltale Games are working together for a console game, many fans of both companies were ecstatic. Sadly, the new game won’t be available until 2017, which not only leaves fans plenty of time to speculate but also to focus on current Telltale properties like Game of Thrones and Tales from the Borderlands. However, in the mean time, we thought it would be fun to think of some well-known, and not-so-well-known Marvel properties that would work well for Telltale Games’ upcoming title....

Everyone has been a new player at some point in their gaming career. With an older game like World of Warcraft though, many current players forget that people without experience can still play alongside them. It never feels good to be called a noob. If you want to up the ante and improve your gameplay, there are quite a few things you can do. A lot of the behaviors of new players are noticeable....

Gears Tactics is an adrenaline-packed strategy horde that throws tons of enemies at players because the developer knows the power that the tools at your disposal hold. The chainsaw gun has 99.9 percent odds of slicing even the biggest locust in half or turning a 5-pack of scurrying wretches into grains. Now, going for missions successfully in this game is all about understanding the different types of monsters, their behaviors as well as knowing the capabilities of your classes....

Doom Eternal is the latest game in the longstanding Doom franchise. It has been met with positive reviews. Providing players with an adrenaline-fueled, one of a kind, demon-packed adventure through Hell and back. The gameplay has been true to form of the Doom series, however that is not to say Eternal didn’t take some major risks. Never before has an installment in series history taken such an effort to create an elaborate plot....

Even though Ubisoft has already revealed that the journey of protagonist Desmond Miles will be coming to an end in Assassin’s Creed 3, it’s still going to take a while for gamers to cope with that fact. Beyond just a major in-route for the story of AC, Desmond has become the one staple of the franchise – a comfortable figure that appears soon after the player boots up the newest game....

Following a forty second tease for Batman: Arkham Origins, Warner Bros. Interactive has now released a full four-minute CGI trailer. Gameplay footage once again takes a backseat to a scripted cut scene but the new trailer successfully adds a bit more context to the previous video (which showcased fan-favorite anti-hero Deathstroke the Terminator trading punches with the Dark Knight), including a look at the game’s primary antagonist, Black Mask, and other villains that will be competing to takedown the Caped Crusader....

First-person shooter players love stats. They love stats almost as much as fantasy sports players do. Battlefield 3’s Battlelog, a social networking platform for the upcoming shooter will be providing fans of the game a means of stat-tracking, friend lists, and several options as detailed in a new Battlefield 3 trailer released by DICE. Features similar to Battlefield 3’s Battlelog have been found in other popular shooters. Bungie.NET and the upcoming Call of Duty Elite are certainly representative of some of the most popular FPS games, but DICE wants to change things up a bit more with Battlelog....

It’s been a long and tumultuous year for Battlefield 4 players but finally the finish line is in sight. Final Stand, the appropriately titled last DLC pack for Battlefield 4, is almost upon us, and today DICE has revealed a trailer that teases the pack’s contents. Set amidst a blistery Russian landscape, Final Stand will take players to a series of locales highlighted by a combination of futuristic and natural terrain....

One of the most appealing traits of the Battlefield franchise is the amount of people that can play in an online match. That appeal isn’t changing with Battlefield Hardline, which takes the Battlefield series to the streets of LA and Miami, while aiming to give players a new way to play cops and robbers. Sometime last year, shortly after its initial Hardline beta, Electronic Arts and Visceral Games opted to delay the game and use the additional time to further develop and innovate on the title....

Activision is no stranger to glitches, exploits, and hacks in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare. As soon as one is fixed, another takes its place. One of the infamous exploits within the Call of Duty franchise is the ‘out of map’ glitch. Although this style of glitch is common, triggering one can be difficult. Using it in a map like Tavorsk District, the unfair advantage gained becomes more than just kills....

Players who follow movie tie-in games based on comic book properties have learned to be skeptical. With several letdowns from both DC and Marvel properties – most recently the abysmal Thor: God of Thunder – it’s seemed less and less likely that a development team would be able to capture what makes a comic book character great and channel it into a satisfying game experience. With Captain America: Super Soldier, the dedicated minds at Next Level Games have tried to do just that....

It’s no secret that Destiny has had more than its fair share of very vocal critics. It’s a game that promised a great deal, and many would argue that it didn’t fulfil everything it set out to do — but that doesn’t seem to have prevented the title from growing a large and passionate player base. As part of an earnings call earlier this week, Destiny publisher Activision stated that there are 50 million registered users split between the game and Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft....

Deus Ex: Human Revolution is launching in just a few more weeks, and what better way to get acquainted with the game than with a trailer entitled “Classified Information”, that lays out an overview of the numerous story beats and gameplay mechanics? Not only is it convenient, it’s also chock-full of some new gameplay footage and information. While previously Human Revolution trailers talked of the conspiracies of the game’s story and the development of the world circa 2027, the latest trailer takes a broader approach and breaks down the elements in a short 4-minute package....

After years on top of the fan and game developer community, the past few have been less than kind for BioWare. With The Old Republic failing to reach the goals many had for the Star Wars themed MMO, Dragon Age 2 disappointing some of the developer’s most devoted fan base, and Mass Effect 3 courting even more controversy, the pressure is on to deliver. And that means the team behind Dragon Age: Inquisition is swinging for the fences even more than they had planned....

One of the somewhat controversial highlights during Microsoft’s E3 press conference this year was the reveal of Fable: The Journey, a new Fable game from Lionhead Studios that uses the Kinect to immerse players in the fiction world of Albion. Many who witnessed the reveal of the game are still very skeptical however, and it seems that the new title’s debut left more questions than answers. That’s why it’s not overly surprising to hear that Fable: The Journey was only about four months into the coding process when it debuted....
