The PS5 might already be out (and enjoying great success), but thanks to backward compatibility, the PS4 and its vast library are getting a second life. Before salivating over all the great new games on the horizon, it’s time to look back at some of the best RPGs that defined the PS4, as well as its generation. Fans of both Japanese and Western RPGs can all agree that the PS4 was an oasis for amazing role-playing games....
All gamers have to love Mario games. They are fun, simple, great for all ages, and they always have a goal to work towards. There are endless Mario games out there for fans to enjoy. This means that Mario seriously goes through the wringer. It’s like there is nothing he can’t do! Fans who enjoy playing a variety of Mario games, witness him accomplishing so much. However, fans usually don’t stop and think about who Mario actually is as a person....
Horror games come in so many (usually unnerving) shapes and forms. However, you’re not alone if you feel that there’s just something special about the best sci-fi horror games. Actually, some of the earliest true horror games were sci-fi horror games. Right from the start, developers knew that are few things scarier than being thrown into an unknown time and unknown place while relying on unknown tools to battle unknown horrors....
The Super Nintendo isn’t just arguably the best Nintendo console ever; it’s a console that really changed people’s expectations for what new consoles could be and should be. While many of the best SNES games were also innovators, some SNES titles were truly ahead of their time. In my look at some NES games that were ahead of their time, I mentioned that many of the games that qualified for that list felt like anomalies in the grand scheme of the NES library....
The return to LV-426 is confirmed for Aliens: Colonial Marines, along with a few more ripe details for Gearbox Software’s latest shooter offering. Two things we know for certain: There are xenomorphs and they will try to kill you. Sure, a few more points have been confirmed, but what else do fans of the film series need to know to get excited for Colonial Marines? Gearbox has been hard pressed to keep their enthusiasm low for Aliens: Colonial Marines, and who can blame them?...
Ubisoft’s first full next generation entry in the Assassin’s Creed franchise, Assassin’s Creed: Unity has officially released on PC, PS4, and Xbox One (read our full Assassin’s Creed: Unity review). Returning series fans will remember that Assassin’s Creed 4: Black Flag bridged the divide between last-gen (PS3 and Xbox 360) and new-gen (PS4 and Xbox One) - making Unity the first Assassin’s Creed title to be built from the ground-up for Sony and Microsoft’s new consoles....
Bloodborne released just last week, but it’s already set to receive patches to reduce loading time and fix game-breaking bugs. Between these problems and a ton of content to play through, many players haven’t even finished the game yet. As with many games, though, some players have taken to “breaking” the game more than simply playing it. In doing so, one gamer has achieved the shortest completion time of the game yet....
Real-time strategy games have been a PC mainstay for the better part of two decades, and most of them rely on players expanding their base of operations and then massing an army (the dreaded “tank rush”) as quickly as possible. In contrast, THQ designed the original Company of Heroes to focus on tactics. Players can look forward to even more tactical gameplay in the recently-announced Company of Heroes 2. Whereas the first game and its two expansions focused on the D-Day invasion and the Western Front, Company of Heroes 2 will shift focus to the East....
Destiny 2’s inclusion of a much more robust campaign mode offered more casual gamers some additional motivation to check out the first-person shooter sequel. Although the story mode does offer a few solid hours of entertaining gameplay to get players invested in the world of Guardians, it’s certainly not without its own flaws and inconsistencies. These are pretty easily overlooked thanks to the solid gameplay in Destiny 2, but they are pretty hilarious when you put them all next to each other with snarky commentary…...
Nearly two years after the disastrous launch of Final Fantasy XIV, Square Enix has unveiled the game’s next evolution. Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn is due for both PlayStation 3 and PC, though no specific dates have been identified. According to Square Enix, the game has been “rebuilt from the ground up” and, appropriately enough, “centers on the core concept of rebirth.” A trailer (above) has been released to celebrate the announcement....
When LucasArts and developer Terminal Reality introduced the world to Kinect Star Wars last year at E3, the unveiling was met with mixed reaction. On the one hand, going hands-free as a Jedi to use force powers sounded cool, but on the other, the Star Wars brand was continuing to steadily move further and further away from its once-core audience. While long-time Star Wars gamers would much rather see another Jedi Knight, X-Wing/Tie Fighter, Rogue Squadron or even another Battlefront game, instead we have this: Kinect Star Wars, a colorful, cartoonish game which kept a lot of its gameplay and features under wraps until recently....
Gamers can be a tricky crowd to please - change too little, and you’ll get slammed for not being innovative, change too much and you risk losing your fans. With Mass Effect 2, BioWare felt the effects of the latter, as some gamers claimed they focused more on making a shooter than an RPG. Thankfully, for that group, BioWare has listened, and will be adding a number of new RPG elements to Mass Effect 3....
While the Minecraft Xbox 360 Edition is busy with bug-fixing updates, the PC based edition of Minecraft will be getting one of its largest (and most oft-requested) updates yet: horses, donkeys and mules. Mojang has been collaborating with a prominent Minecraft modder named DrZhark, who created and maintains the popular Mo’ Creatures mod in Minecraft. The horses in the game are direct copies of what he had previously implemented, though Jeb and the rest of the crew are modifying them to be fully integrated with the core of the game itself, which will be included in the nearing 1....

As we sit on the eve of Sony’s PlayStation 4 being sold to the public, and Microsoft prepares to enter the fray with the Xbox One, gamers are forced to ask themselves some serious questions: which console’s exclusive offerings are more tempting? Which hardware seems to hold the most potential, or is most open for developers? And most importantly, how do they cut those friends and family members who disagree with their decision out of their lives completely?...
Even the most casual of video game fan knows just how heavily relied upon zombies have become over the past few years. With the chances for interesting new mechanics or character designs dwindling by the month, there is one game that has brought new hope to fans of corrupted human beings: The Last of Us. While the game still remains shrouded heavily in mystery, the two protagonists of The Last of Us are gracing the cover of the March issue of Game Informer....
The action genre has a loyal and dedicated fan base that craves new action movies every year for a number of reasons, ranging from intense excitement to epic battles. One of the main connecting themes of every action film is the powerful hero and their arsenal of incredibly important one-liners. The previous decade saw the release of a number of memorable action movies that introduced new heroes, brought back old ones, and added a few new franchises to the genre that have only further increased the amazing collection of quotable materials....
With the highly anticipated release of Cyberpunk 2077 and Watch Dogs: Legion just around the corner, it’s worth taking a look at other futuristic games during the wait. The open-world genre allows players to roam a breathtaking world full of activities, enabling a less linear and more creative approach to the game. Great games such as Red Dead Redemption and Breath OfThe Wild fall under the open-world category. However, this genre paired with the limitless and untethered gameplay brought about by a futuristic setting makes for some of the most engaging games out there....
Throughout each entry of the Fire Emblem series, the franchise has repeatedly utilized recurring character archetypes. These archetypes are often frequently occurring roles that are filled in the given story of a game, or a type of unit that the series includes in installments time and time again. Since the very first entry in the series, Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon and the Blade of Light, Navarre’s are sword-wielders that are often quite strong who are recruitable early into a given game, frequently joining with a killing edge in their inventory....
Star Wars Squadrons recently released, and the game actually has quite a lot of depth and strategy to it. It’s not just an arcade shooter dressed up with some spaceships and a Star Wars soundtrack; there’s some real love and care given to the complexity of the game, giving it a truly insane skill ceiling. An important note about Star Wars: Squadrons (and something players have probably noticed if they’ve spent much time with the game) is that few people are going to have much success with the game in just any old ship loadout....
