Prepare to load up on rocket fuel and set sail for parts unknown as The Ultimate Warrior returns to the ring in WWE 2K14. Announced via a suitably snarling promo video, the tassle-clad superstar marks his first appearance in the former-SmackDown! series by tearing into the game’s 2K offices. With title in hand (and bent around the face of one unsuspecting employee) the interstellar spirit warrior confirms his arrival as the game’s pre-eminent pre-order incentive....

While there have been a number of badass female characters in action movies, the genre has historically been fairly male-dominated when looking at the various action heroes that have appeared over the years, but thankfully fans are beginning to see more female-led action movies on the big screen. As fans wait patiently for upcoming films like Black Widow or The 355 that feature dynamic female action heroes, there are quite a few options for fans to enjoy if they are looking to celebrate some of the best female action heroes that have led their own films in theaters and blazed the trail for future movies to follow....

id Software’s original DOOM is recognized today as being not only one of the most influential first-person shooters of all time but one of the most influential video games of all time, period. It wasn’t the first game of its kind, as id Software’s Wolfenstein 3D from the year before had a similar gameplay formula, but DOOM perfected the playstyle and consequently popularized it. One similarity that all products have, whether it be video games, books, or shampoos, is that successful products will be imitated....

Nintendo struck gold when they developed The Legend of Zelda for the Famicom in 1986. Their fantasy adventure series would become one of gaming’s legendary hallmarks. Thirty-four years later, The Legend of Zelda continues to set the gold standard and gains the world’s attention with every subsequent release. Despite this legendary series offering well over a dozen classic games, ten can only fit a handful of favorites. Please also keep in mind that ports, remasters, and collections that are featured in the site’s top ten are omitted....

Gamers usually have their favorite consoles that they play games on. One of the consoles that gamers swear by is the famous PlayStation 2. This 1999 home gaming console has some remarkable features. For example, it has a DualShock controller with backward-compatibility. PlayStation 2 sets a new level of play for gamers overall. Unfortunately, this console has some glitches in various games which can become frustrating for players. However, there are plenty of glitches that can help players with certain aspects of the games....

Hades was one of the most phenomenal games released in 2020. A perfect roguelike game that didn’t lose favor from its repetitive nature, this dungeon crawler continues to keep players coming back for more, even after they reach the gates of Olympus. But supposing one requires something fresh after slicing and slashing their way from the depths of Tartarus? The realms of Hades are still a delight, but a change of venue wouldn’t be a bad idea....

Cranking 90s in Fortnite is one of those things that slowly took over the battlefield for a lot of gamers. Cranking 90s in style with the speed and accuracy of a master… of something. Watching gamers crank 90s can be both entertaining and annoying depending on your take and age of gaming. For many younger gamers, this is just what the game has evolved to. For many older gamers, it’s one of those “did you really have to”?...

Konami used to publish some of the most celebrated video games of all time. From the late 1980s until 2015, they brought us gems in the form of such franchises like Castlevania, Silent Hill, Contra, and Metal Gear Solid. In 2015, the publisher made a huge shift in business priorities by dropping triple-A game development in favor of mobile games and pachinko machines. This move devastated fans, who still want new entries in their favorite franchises....

The world of The Witcher 3 is one of extremes. It is a brutal land full of monsters, mayhem, and murderous monarchs; often the player is at the heart of the darkest actions. At the same time, the beauty of the scenery and the diversity of the characters keep fans enthralled for hours. It’s easy to credit the grandiose parts of this game for the mass interest in it. But the devil is in the details: part of what keeps fans coming back is the humanity on display in the game....

The Doom Slayer is the literal embodiment of wrath. He stops at nothing and fears nothing. Considering his history with demons, going all the way back to the original Doom from 1993, it makes sense for him to hate them so much. Because of this, the Slayer makes plenty of questionable decisions during Doom Eternal, the latest installment in the franchise. As a fast-paced FPS with a heavy focus on gameplay, this game is not about making choices, but rather seeing what happens as you rip and tear through hordes from hell....

Due to all the fascinating people and places in the Pokemon world, it makes sense that many would be too preoccupied with collecting badges and completing their pokedex to be overly concerned with what lies outside this world. However, in one’s journeys, it is likely that certain peculiar pokedex entries have caught one’s eye. There are quite a few entries about pokemon species with mysterious and unknown pasts that may not have come from the planet....

With the announcement of Mass Effect: Legendary edition, fans will once again dive into the timeless classic trilogy. The announcement does not only bring hype to the gaming community but it also already has people wondering what the next adventure in the RPG series will be about. Whether the game will be called Mass Effect 5 or Andromeda 2, players are left pondering what exactly the new game will be about this time around....

With most games nowadays, players will miss a lot of the content buried within, and Watch Dogs: Legion is no exception. This game has an enormous map, a large selection of different vehicle types to test drive, and a seemingly infinite number of possible recruits wandering the streets. Additionally, Ubisoft has hidden a surprisingly large amount of Easter eggs within the game. These range from subtle references to other Ubisoft games, like Assassin’s Creed, to references to popular movies....

Resident Evil: Village is underway, a remake of the 4th entry of the game has been heavily rumored and fans are clambering for Code Veronica to get the same treatment. However, the franchise’s early sister Dino Crisis hasn’t been entirely forgotten. It is a survival horror of sorts where the main threat is dinosaurs that have gone rogue, a la Jurassic Park. It’s one of the more requested remasters from the community, given that it never did get any ports over to current-gen consoles, nor did it get any remasters like the wealth that the original Resident Evil received....

FromSoftware has developed some of the most difficult and cryptic games out there with their iconic Souls games. And while fans may have to wait a bit for Elden Ring to finally appear, Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice still has plenty of content to haunt and frustrate fans for years. For some, one of the toughest portions of the game is one, mini-boss interaction in Mibu Village. As Sekiro makes his way to the Corrupted Monk for the first time, he comes across a crying woman playing a shamisen....

Destiny 2 seems to have immense staying power.

This means players will join in from all corners of the gaming spectrum, so here are some newcomer friendly tips to know. Bungie’s restructuring of Destiny 2 started with Shadowkeep in 2019 as the game transitioned into a more MMO-like formula....

MMORPGs have long been a staple in gaming – especially for PC-only games. These worlds are massive, go through regular updates, and foster huge communities of players that love to play the game. Many players will spend hours each day in these worlds, and the game will become like a second home. There have been several MMORPG series that have come and gone over the years. Some Pay-to-play games have switched to a free model, and some free games have put in paid content to help support the game....

It’s become common practice for many video game developers, especially those creating multiplayer-heavy games, to conduct a closed and/or open beta of their game prior to release. Doing so lets developers gather some much-needed final feedback about their game before it releases to the masses. It’s that approach that will seemingly benefit developer Visceral Games who is putting the final touches on Battlefield Hardline. The team at Visceral Games has been extremely active soliciting comments, suggestions and questions from players and YouTubers about their experience with both the closed and open beta of Battlefield Hardline....

The dragons in Bethesda’s The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim may be tremendously tough to defeat, but their threat is only virtual. However, now a real Bethesda dragon is threatening residents in Wales. To be more specific, the police force of the town of Bethesda in Wales has had to issue a statement about the Bethesda Dragon sculpture on the side of a local road. Called the Draig Dderw, the “Dragon of Bethesda” has been carved out of oak and is a massive 6 feet tall and 12 feet wide....

As one of the year’s most anticipated games – starring Hollywood A-listers Ellen Page and Willem Dafoe; serving as visionary director David Cage’s follow-up to 2010’s widely acclaimed Heavy Rain; launching exclusively on the PlayStation 3 – Quantic Dream’s Beyond: Two Souls has exactly the confluence of pre-release pre-requisites that special editions are made of. We didn’t need the spiritual clairvoyance of protagonist Jodie Holmes to see today’s announcement coming....
