In the world of online gaming, frequent patches are a good thing for users. Updates give the developers a chance to address balance issues, fix bugs, or even add new features from time to time. When a game maintains a dedicated fan base and has a serious eSports following, like Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, it’s no surprise that significant patches are still being rolled out years after the game’s initial launch....
If you’re the type of gamer that went googly-eyed over the recently revealed Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim world map and screenshots, boy do we have another treat for you. Hot on the heels of that reveal is a few screenshots of the game’s instruction manual. Yes, it’s not particularly revelatory stuff, but it does give gamers a good sense of the game. Probably the most interesting tidbit that can be gleaned from the manual is the companion/follower controls....
This is it. October 1st. Before the month is out, the two most anticipated racing games of the year will be sitting on store shelves: Forza Horizon and Need for Speed Most Wanted. Both games offer open-worlds. Both games feature hidden cars for players to find. Both games explicitly reflect their developers’ previous work in an attempt to deliver something recognizable, but new. Microsoft, Turn 10 Studios and Playground Games aren’t wasting a single October day in making their case for Forza Horizon as the racing game to beat this year....
By now you’ve probably already read our discussions on whether Mass Effect 3 does or does not need a new ending, but regardless of that you’re interested to see what extended conclusion BioWare has crafted in the form of the Extended Cut DLC.

While, for many, it may not have seemed like a truly remarkable game at its outset, there’s no denying that Minecraft has seen a stunning evolution in the years since its release. Starting as a simple sandbox for players to exercise their creativity, the title has blossomed into an experience that manages to seamlessly reach from developers to modders to players. This is no better highlighted than by the Mash-Up Packs that have begun appearing as DLC for the Xbox 360 edition of Minecraft....
While in the past two years 2K Sports has been emblazoning their NBA 2K covers with stars from the sports’ past, this year they are including three current stars that are at the height of their game. For NBA 2K13, 2K Sports has chosen the Clippers’ Blake Griffin, the Bulls’ Derrick Rose, and the Thunder’s Kevin Durant as the cover athlete trio. Rather than give each console version their own cover athlete, like what was done with NBA 2K12, 2K has decided that all three players will share cover athlete duties across all platforms....

The Street Fighter is infamous for its long gaps of time between main installments in the series. Instead, a good number of releases are updated versions of previous games. Everyone’s familiar with the ridiculous number of altered versions of Street Fighter II and Street Fighter III got its fair share of rehashes as well. Not even Street Fighter IV was safe from being bumped up to an Arcade Edition. So it wouldn’t be too much of a stretch to assume that the next game in the series, Street Fighter V, game would take quite a while for release, but Capcom says otherwise....
With a focus on high-tech combined with low-lifestyles, there are a variety of ways games can introduce players to the cyberpunk genre. There are plenty of video games that allow players to explore some truly amazing cities, each with unique spins on the tropes associated with the genre. While some games take a more direct approach filling cities with surveillance and citizens addicted to bio-augmentations. Other games showcase the early moments of a cyberpunk city, by focusing on social and political commentary....
Since the very first entry in the Fire Emblem series, Pegasus knights have been some of the most mobile units that players have access to. With high movement and the ability to fly, the units can traverse maps with ease, able to fly over any type of terrain save for walls.

Resident Evil sure knows how to pique its fanbase’s interest, as evidenced by the trailers and information currently out in the open regarding the upcoming release, Resident Evil: Village. Capcom has shown off major characters, the setting, and even given PS5 owners a small gameplay demo in the form of Maiden, yet fans still know next to nothing about the upcoming game in the long running survival horror franchise. With the material given to us, thus far, however, we can deduce many things about the upcoming title....
Battle Royale games like Fortnite have skyrocketed in popularity in the past few years.

Fall Guys recently joined other battle royales with its recent release.

In a perfect, ideal world where GameCube games are plentiful on Nintendo Switch and Nintendo has a quality VR system for it, the two would hopefully combine to create some truly spectacular experiences. But, we’ll just have to settle for other means of GameCube VR for the time being. Using the VR branch of the Dolphin emulator, we’re able to get a glimpse into what our favorite childhood games would play like in virtual reality, albeit without motion controls or first-person views, (at least most of the time....
Ash Ketchum is the protagonist we all love to dunk on. While his determination and love for Pokemon is admirable, he often leaves fans frustrated due to his lack of even the most basic Pokemon knowledge. This is a kid who wants to be a champion and catch every critter out there, yet he barely catches anything and seems to lose almost on purpose. He has had two decades to learn the ropes, he has no more excuses left....
As fans will know, Destiny 2: Beyond Light has been live for just over a month. With it came a new Raid, a brand new set of abilities powered by the Darkness, and memes. As with every annual reset, the community has been quick to break down what is great and not-so-great about the new expansion. Most players agree that Stasis (the new set of elemental abilities discovered on the mysterious planet of Europa) is a welcome innovation to Destiny’s gameplay....
Naughty Dog’s The Last of Us quickly became one of the most celebrated games of the decade and has cemented its legacy as one of the medium’s finest achievements. With the sequel on the horizon, many players are no doubt reliving the magnificent journey guiding Ellie through the United States as Joel either on the PS3 or the remastered version on the PS4. For those without the time to replay this 2013 masterpiece, it’s worth recalling these ten important plot points from the adventure before launching into The Last of Us Part II....
While the Fire Emblem franchise is often characterized by its large and memorable cast of characters, these characters are often made notable due to the equipment they wield. In Fire Emblem, inaccessibility to useful equipment can break unit, while the ability to wield integral weaponry can make a character worthwhile. Wether it be a highly effective offensive tool or a source of excellent utility, there are many highly impactful pieces of equipment within Fire Emblem....
The Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater franchise is all about going over the top. Despite this ridiculousness, it manages to be one of the most accurate and sincere portrayals of skateboarding culture. With this attitude comes a whole slew of things that don’t make pro-skatersense. Some of the entries below deal with some puzzling design decisions or absent features from Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1+2, while others discuss other more playful facets of the recent remake....
Animal Crossing has always been a deep well of hilarious jokes and silly conversations, and Animal Crossing: New Horizons certainly has its fair share of gut-busting dialogue and scenarios. Sometimes, however, the characters and villagers that the player interacts with can be surprisingly sincere, offering helpful advice or emotional anecdotes about their own lives. From advice on how to enjoy life to the fullest, to the sharing of important life moments, Animal Crossing’s characters teach players valuable life lessons, no matter how old they may be....
Anime fans can all agree with me when I say that there’s just too much anime and not enough time. And that’s been even more the case recently with online streaming services making anime that much more accessible. Since there’s so many shows, we sometimes have to be a bit choosy with what we watch. And since there are a lot of anime shows, it makes sense that some would get pretty popular and some would get overlooked....
