2015 is a year full to the brim with Star Wars mania. This December sees the release of the hugely anticipated Episode VII: The Force Awakens, the first film in a whole new trilogy. The massively popular sci-fi phenomenon is also going to hit the video game world in a big way with the DICE-developed Star Wars: Battlefront. During the recent Star Wars Celebration, news spread about the title’s tantalizing teaser trailer and its November 17 release date....

In the history of Mario games there remains an unsung hero in the character of Yoshi. This sidekick is seen as a disposable character in-universe, as players take to dumping Yoshi whenever they see an option to progress further, knowing that Yoshi will just regenerate. Due to this, and the fact that Yoshi is considered a very popular character in his own right, he’s received a number of memes from the Nintendo fanbase....

Kingdom Hearts 3 features mostly new worlds for players to travel to, including some Pixar-themed stages for the first time in series history. However, there are still many untapped Disney franchises that would potentially make for some interesting worlds for Sora and the gang to explore, and it’s possible these worlds could be added to the game as DLC. We know that Square Enix is planning post-launch DLC for Kingdom Hearts 3, but we just don’t know the extent of it....

With E3 2016 right around the corner, we take a look at the games we’re most looking forward to seeing at the event, including Battlefield 1, the new Zelda, and more. For a gamer, E3 is one of the most exciting times of the year. It’s at E3 when the biggest announcements occur, and new footage of the hottest upcoming games is revealed. With the current-gen consoles hitting their stride, E3 2016 is even more exciting than usual, with a number of high profile games set to be in the spotlight next month....

Before it became the world-conquering phenomenon it is today, Minecraft was just an idea in the head of creator Markus “Notch” Persson. Famously, the first playable version was created in less than a week. For more than two years after that, Persson and his company Mojang iterated on the design of the game before the “final” version was released. In the years since the game has become an internet sensation with more than 100 million players....

Fans love World of Warcraft mostly for its endgame content. The phenomenal raids and dungeons such as Ulduar and the Nightwell left lasting impressions on the player base. In Battle for Azeroth, level 120 content constitutes the majority of available options. Leveling feels like just another tedious time-gate. The real game begins at the end. Not everyone enjoys treating leveling this way. Over the years, players have created multitudes of interesting rules to make the journey more challenging or more fun....

Demons have been the main antagonists since stories began, representing the darkest parts of society in most cases. In recent times, however, video games have played both sides and put the player in the demonic driver’s seat. Whether it’s standing across the battlefield or the main character, demons have fully invaded the narratives from good to bad.With so many floating around, there are only a few that stand out among the rest....

The long-awaited next-gen consoles by Sony and Microsoft have finally begun to reach households. The verdict is still out on whether Xbox Series X may have finally redeemed its predecessor’s comparative let down in terms of sales. But, it’s safe to say that developers have got an impressive line-up of games planned for 2021 across a variety of genres to be experienced on the new Xbox. A lot of these games serve as sequels to already popular franchises....

The best scary movies start with a truly killer idea. For Scream screenwriter Kevin Williamson, it was to take the tropes of the done-to-death slasher movie and inject it with a satirical, self-referential edge tailor-made for the knowing audiences of the 1990s. The result was a black comedy horror whodunit that had audiences laughing and shrieking in equal measure. Williamson, who would go on after Scream to solidify his legacy with the sharply written teen drama series, Dawson’s Creek, drew his influences from fact and fiction....

Some people might be all about playing whatever game has just released. Some even hop into closed betas or opt for intriguing upcoming Early Access titles. But sometimes, a person just needs a break from a classic RPG, RTS, turn-based, or hack-and-slash gaming experience. Enter: the casual typing game. It isn’t a very popular genre, but recent releases have reinvigorated user interest in games with these mechanics. Imagine the enigmatic Geralt of Rivia unleashing deadly attacks as you typed in the name of a spell....

2018 may have been a great year for gaming, but 2019 is shaping up to offer players some exciting releases as well. More importantly, gamers shouldn’t have to wait too long to get their hands on some of the biggest releases of the year, as many are hitting before the midway point. Still, there are a handful of games that stand out above the rest as the most anticipated of 2019, either because of the hype surrounding them or their place in a popular franchise....

When the pre-order incentives for Medal of Honor: Warfighter were announced, revealing next year’s beta program for Battlefield 4, fans of the series were surprised for two reasons. Firstly, Battlefield 3 is only just now hitting its stride after a series of major updates and the launch of Battlefield Premium, which will see multiple content expansions release over the next year. The other reason this was baffling was because of expectations that the next franchise installment would be Battlefield: Bad Company 3....

According to Activision, Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare is a smashing success. Shortly after Advanced Warfare’s release, Activision called it the “biggest entertainment launch of 2014” (although the company didn’t elaborate on what exactly that means). More recently, Activision issued a press release claiming that Advanced Warfare is the best-selling game of the year. So, everything’s hunky-dory at the house that Modern Warfare built, right? Not so fast. While the latest sales report from the NPD Group confirms that Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare beat heavy-hitters like Assassin’s Creed: Unity and Super Smash Bros....

There was never any reason to believe that The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim wouldn’t be continuing the Bethesda tradition of offering players the chance to tweaks and modify the game as they wished, but now we have a better idea of just how long we’ll have to wait. Skyrim’s director Todd Howard has given a recent update on the game’s production, explaining that while the team still intends to have the Creation Kit ready to download on the game’s launch day, the team doesn’t foresee any massive delays....

The alien creature set to terrorize players in Evolve may be the most recognizable character featured in Turtle Rock’s upcoming shooter, but it certainly isn’t the only one (and we don’t just mean its many evolved forms). The player will have the choice of four distinct character classes, each specialized to work best in a squad of four Hunters. The latest Hunter character to be detailed brings a bit of personality to the standard multiplayer class system....

After Grand Theft Auto 5 hit store shelves in mid-September, it didn’t take long for Rockstar’s latest to assert its dominance. Charting in the mid-to-high range of review scores and ranking in millions in its first 24 hours of release, Grand Theft Auto 5 proved to be another blockbuster hit for Take-Two Interactive. Yet, unlike past iterations, Grand Theft Auto 5 launched with the promise of a persistent multiplayer experience in the form of GTA Online....

For years, gamers have gone without a good dinosaur video game. Several big-budget ventures have appeared promising in the past, but their arrival and reviews only brought disappointment to fans of both palaeontology and gaming. Now there’s a new fan-made mod currently being worked on, developed completely in Half-Life 2’s Source engine, that’ll attempt to give dino enthusiasts the game they’ve been waiting for. This mod is called Jurassic Life, and it’s based on the immensely popular Jurassic Park film franchise....

Although developer Media Molecule has already announced that they are stepping away from the LittleBigPlanet series for greener pastures, they are not willing to let their previous effort, LittleBigPlanet 2 go without leaving some worthwhile DLC content behind. Just announced is a new set of Toy Story-inspired costumes and level kit that should allow gamers to recreate many of the classic scenes from the movies using their lovable Sackboy and Sackgirl....

By the 3-hour mark, Metro: Last Light players will have gone through so many different experiences that they will be unsure just what kind of game they’re playing. While 4A Games works within a pretty standard FPS framework, what they do to make Last Light feel unique, despite any shortcomings, helps their title standout from the pack. Is that enough to make it worth recommending? Read on to find out....
