Now that the cat is officially out of the bag where Grand Theft Auto 5 is concerned, fans of open-ended exploration and everyday simulation have just as much to look forward to as those who feed off of vehicular carnage. With a game world larger than GTA IV, San Andreas, and Red Dead Redemption combined, the newly upgraded city of Los Santos has even more potential than the first trailer led people to believe....
It’s been a year since Grand Theft Auto Online debuted to complement Grand Theft Auto V and a lot has happened since then. New weapons, vehicles and clothes have been introduced through various updates; players have created and played numerous online jobs with each other, and soon, very soon, people will finally be able to play the much desired online heists. To those who have continued to stick with GTA Online, this particular content can’t come fast enough....
Limbo first released on Xbox Live Arcade just over a year ago to critical and commercial success. One of the most thoughtful and engaging puzzle platformers in recent memory (or at least since Braid), the Xbox 360 exclusive left many PC and PS3 fans longing for their own chance to play through the title. Now, according to developer Playdead Studios, the wait is over - Limbo will arrive this month on PCs and PS3s everywhere....
Medal of Honor: Warfighter is a game that needs no introduction. Not just because it is a sequel, but because it is a modern military shooter released during a time when the genre has reached its apex. For those that didn’t play Danger Close Games’ first Medal of Honor title, the only thing worth knowing is that this revitalization of the franchise falls somewhere in between Call of Duty’s overreliance on bombastic action sequences and Battlefield’s attention to detail and realism....
Undead Labs is removing the negative Morale effect associated with the “Punched Nazis” trait in State of Decay 2. The studio announced that the trait was only intended to have positive effects on your stats and will be making the changes in an upcoming patch. The announcement was made through a series of tweets, diving deep into the development of the “Punched Nazis” trait – which is actually based on the firsthand experiences of one of Undead Labs’ game designers....

September is just about over, which means October is coming. This is the prime time for horror games to coincide with Halloween, and on top of new releases, games like Call of Duty: Warzone are preparing horror-themed events. A new game called Strobophagia: Rave Horror is throwing its hat into this ring, and it’s releasing on October 28. Originally, horror was mostly in the domain of shooter and puzzle games. Titles like Clock Tower and Alone in the Dark set the stage for what horror would become, but these days Silent Hill and Resident Evil are at the forefront of many horror game lists....
Motion gaming has seen some major developments over the past two years, and while the Microsoft Kinect and PlayStation Move made big splashes when they launched, the list of killer apps hasn’t been as impressive. So when Rise of Nightmares first appeared, the hopes of Kinect owners and zombie fans alike were raised, as it seemed to offer the closest simulation of zombie-slaying that safety would allow. But does Rise of Nightmares scratch an itch every Kinect owner feels, or simply mark yet another genre that will be problematic - given the limitations of motion control?...
From the very first moment of Genkibowl VII, the newest DLC for Saints Row: The Third, the player is drawn in by a familiar milieu of clever pop culture references and whacky, over-the-top scenarios. Genkibowl promises, essentially, a Super Bowl for the insane, featuring silly events that range from skydiving through flaming rings to lighting pedestrians on fire whilst serving as Professor Genki’s chauffeur. But does it continue Saints Row: The Third’s benchmark of the most insane scenarios ever?...
Today is a big day for Star Wars fans. As part of the Star Wars Celebration, EA and DICE showed off some impressive gameplay from their upcoming Star Wars Battlefront reboot, and shared some details about the game. First off, we know Star Wars Battlefront will be released on November 17th. That is, if the developer and publisher can keep to their current schedule and don’t delay it. Not that we’re expecting them to, since the next episode in the Star Wars movie franchise is set to release in December and they want the two to release around the same time, but these days who really knows?...
Ubisoft has been having a pretty rough year so far, from the somewhat lukewarm response to the much-hyped hack-’em-up sandbox Watch Dogs to the controversy over a lack of playable female characters in Assassin’s Creed Unity and Far Cry 4. Those two games - along with Assassin’s Creed Rogue - are both set to release this month and could easily turn the tide of opinion in Ubisoft’s favor, but will upcoming open world shooter and new IP Tom Clancy’s The Division repeat Watch Dogs mistakes?...
Star Wars: The Old Republic hasn’t even launched yet and it already looks like it’s on the way to becoming a huge success. According to analyst Doug Cruetz, he estimates that around 1.5 million people are already playing the game through the promotional pre-access program. Earlier this year, EA stated that they only need to see 500 000 subscriptions in order for The Old Republic to generate a profit. With pre-access numbers already triple that, it’s pretty safe to say that The Old Republic will be the success EA hopes it to be....
As the trailer for The Walking Dead’s season 2 finale, ‘No Going Back,’ emphasized painfully, young protagonist Clementine has changed a lot since her days of hiding out in a treehouse with a walkie-talkie. She’s traveled a lot of miles, seen a lot of terrible things and done some pretty terrible things as well. Also, her hair is shorter. One of the challenges for this season is that it has not had a clear direction for the characters to head in, like the first season did with Savannah....
Tower of Guns is unique both in its gameplay and style. It’s a frantic shooter that keeps players on their toes throughout its entirety. However, the game’s few follies keep it from being a truly great arcade experience and instead leave it as a mediocre option for those gamers who love shooting things and need a break from current triple-A titles. Tower of Guns was first released on PC last year and received a warm welcome from players and the Xbox One and PS4 versions are direct ports from the PC version....
Love and romance is not foreign to video game storytelling, but what about a deeper connection? Everyone knows the puppy love young people have or the common story about saving a princess, but some are more interested in games exploring longterm relationships. Married couples are few and far between in the medium, so it always sticks out when the story revolves around two people who promised themselves to each other for life....
Like the survival management game This War of Mine, Siege Survival: Gloria Victis is split between daytime and nighttime segments. During the day, you must manage resources, build structures and look after their characters. At night, select a character to head out into the occupied city in order to scavenge whatever you can. You must look through piles of rubble and discarded containers to find and materials while avoiding enemy patrols....
Since its release, Animal Crossing: New Horizons has been praised by fans and series newcomers alike. However, this does not mean the game is without flaws, there are many quality of life alterations and other changes that fans have been requesting in online communities. Animal Crossing: New Horizons is widely considered to be a great game, in spite of any issues it does have. Many fans, however, still argue that any of the suggested fixes would be great additions to an already good product that could be easily added in future updates....
The year 2020 has been a big year for remasters and remakes. Gamers have already seen Final Fantasy VII Remake, Mafia 1 and 2 The Definitive Editions, Personal 5 Royal, Tony Hawk’s Skateboarding 1 & 2, Trials of Mana, Resident Evil 3, and Destroy All Humans. It’s true that some gamers complain about bringing back old franchises, but a remaster or remake has the ability to bring classic games to a new audience and revitalize an old franchise....
Gaming giant Bethesda has become renowned for producing incredibly fun games. Titles in their biggest franchises have hit top sellers lists and have dazzled critics the world over, but their games are far from perfect. In addition to being known as the creators of awesome games, they have also become synonymous with a fair number of glitches and bugs. The Fallout series holds quite a number of weird and unintentional happenings....
Hideo Kojima’s Metal Gear Solid started in 1987 on the MSX with Metal Gear, which was followed by a sequel, Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake. It wasn’t until the franchise’s first 3D entry, Metal Gear Solid, that it garnered universal acclaim, solidifying its status as a gaming giant. Unfortunately, it looks like the series will never reclaim its glory after Kojima parted ways with Konami in 2015 under less than ideal circumstances....
