With the release of Super Mario 3D All Stars, which now has fans rallying for other old school franchises to get the same treatment, the compilation has collated three celebrated games together, and one of those games is the exciting, warped, and maddeningly hard Super Mario Sunshine. Thanks to some of the game’s ridiculous content, colorful music, and tantalizing interactions, Sunshine has inspired some hilarious and skewed memes, with some of them criticizing the game, but most of them lovingly busting Mario’s chops....

The Fallout series started in 1997 with the entry of Fallout and the most recent game is 2018’s Fallout 76, which was released to a disappointed audience. One entry in the series, 2010’s Fallout: New Vegas, is a favorite of fans. There is a trait found only in New Vegas called Wild Wasteland, which includes encounters only found if a player has the trait. Random encounters are found throughout most games in the series, but New Vegas is the only game to include encounters related to a trait....

From movies, television, and of course, video games, ninjas are everywhere, and for good reason - they are stealthy assassins who typically used espionage, deception, and surprise attacks using ninja stars, swords, and other stealthy weapons to stay undetected and get out unnoticed. Many great games have you filling the shoes of ninjas in a variety of different genres. As seen by this list, ninjas fit in just about anywhere due to how awesome and universal they are....

At the time of its release, The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion revolutionized the way people looked at RPGs. Moreover, as a 2006 title, nothing matched Bethesda’s gem. In fact, some RPG enthusiasts might have said its predecessor, Morrowind, seemed to be the one thing close enough to match Oblivion’s remarkable approach to open-world gameplay and its story at the time. As such, players aren’t surprised to see how Bethesda experimented with Oblivion’s best and worst features when creating the follow-up Skyrim....

Like most of the other games in the franchise, Call of Duty: World War II’s campaign is only a small part of the package. It is a lucky thing too; despite the high quality accompanying the single-player story, they are generally short experiences ranging from four to six hours in length. While one may be tempted to put the game away for good and forget about it once the credits roll on the World War II narrative, it offers plenty of reasons to keep it on the hard drive just a little while longer....

Valorant is the latest multiplayer game on the Twitch scene that has some of the platform’s top personalities becoming obsessed with Riot’s new video game IP. The game mixes the triggered character-specific abilities players have become familiar with in titles like Overwatch and Rainbow Six: Siege and layers them on top of a first-person shooter title eerily similar to Valve’s Counter-Strike series which remains extremely popular on PC. Let’s look at 10 things everyone wished they knew before starting Valorant....

Every fan of gaming has been extremely excited about a game release at one time or another. The most recent case might be Mass Effect fans watching promo material for the remaster release. If a big enough fan comes along, they’ll find something that hints to an exciting part of the game like an easter egg for the well informed. Some trailers or marketing campaigns take this a step too far by giving fans too much information....

The following Pokemon are pound for pound some of the most powerful in the universe. They can take down Pokemon twice their size with a moveset learned by leveling. Although TMs (technical machines) can be used to kickstart a Pokemon’s fighting career, these examples are inherently strong without the need to expand their movepool. While some are baby Pokemon, others are adults that never grew to be large. Although there are numerous examples of Pokemon that are tiny and powerful, a select few monsters stand out from the crowd....

No matter what play style you have, there is an armor set that will match and give you benefits that help further your experience in the game. Some of these armors give massive health boosts, while some increase the amount of damage you deal.

The Mass Effect series is all about making big decisions that can potentially have a giant impact on the galaxy. And some of the most difficult ones occur in the second game. Yet, not all of them matter. Yes, choices surrounding the Suicide Mission and the Quarian-Geth conflict can make a big difference down the line. But there is also a litany of other decisions you’re forced to make that have zero consequences....

There isn’t going to be any shortage of returning foes and difficult challenges awaiting Gotham City’s caped crusader with this yea’s Batman: Arkham City. With Gamescom 2011 in full swing, developer Rocksteady Studios have released a few more screenshots, giving fans a look at the kind of carnage that one of Batman’s oldest enemies will unleash upon the inhabitants of Arkham City. It’s only been days since Mr. Freeze was revealed to be appearing alongside other members of Batman’s rogues gallery, and the trailer did more than enough to get fans of the frozen menace excited....

It’s hard to know just what to say about BioShock: Infinite at this point. Seen as the spiritual successor to the original BioShock, it seems that developer Irrational Games has told us just about everything that will be made public before the game is actually released. So while more story details or another extensive gameplay section may have been missing from Gamescom 2011, the developer has released a handful of screenshots showing the kind of tension and uneasiness fans can expect from BioShock: Infinite....

While the first Borderlands wasn’t considered an all-out gore fest, it did have its bloody moments. So much so that certain parts of the world decided to crib the game’s violence in order to make it more palatable. That won’t be happening with Borderlands 2, however, as this game is going all out with its violence. Just announced today by Gearbox Software, Borderlands 2 will feature just as much violence in Australia (a place that initially “censored” the first game) as it will in the States....

Dark Souls was one of 2011’s critically acclaimed games - it probably would have been a shoe in for best RPG had Skyrim not arrived on the scene. Unfortunately for PC gamers, they never got a chance to play it. A recent petition to get the game on the most powerful platform available, has caught the eye of Namco Bandai executives. Late last a week, gamers began circling a petition to bring Dark Souls to the PC....

Over the past few months, we have documented some incredible Destiny feats. From solo Crota’s End raid runs on hard to high Crucible kill streaks, it feels like the Destiny community has done it all. Then, someone like the above gamer comes along and proves us wrong. As readers can see in the video, this Destiny player has beat the Crota’s End raid with only one hand. Sure, they use their other hand to prop up the controller, but the actual game playing is preformed solely using a single hand....

In the mist of all the hype behind the upcoming release of Mass Effect 3 and the reveal of Assassin’s Creed 3 on Monday, there’s news about a game that’s already one installment ahead - Doom 4. Several shots of concept art from what could be Doom 4 have appeared on the internet, and id Software has issued a response to the leak. Up until now fans weren’t too sure what to expect from the sequel to Doom 3....

In all of gaming, the release of a Grand Theft Auto game is a massive one for the medium, often only matched by a new generation of consoles, so passions are destined to run high as Grand Theft Auto 5 arrives on the horizon. The overall consensus is that the game is very special, giving one of the best open world experiences ever, with its gleeful wanton gameplay and satire that serves as a great bow for the current generation of gaming....

In the business of video games, studio departures are nothing new. High profile developers leaving big name studios has become so commonplace as of late, that we’re surprised when a month goes by without a major announcement. However, in this particular case, the situation is a little different. Longtime Bungie Composer and Audio Director Martin O’Donnell has been fired from the Halo and Destiny developer. O’Donnell broke the news of his termination via Twitter, and Bungie then confirmed it with an official statement....

Marvel have quite the growing selection of games within reach (touch?) in the mobile gaming space, and in a variety of flavors. Gamers are likely aware of the popular Marvel Puzzle Quest match three game, Marvel Contest of Champions fighter, their deck building game Marvel War of Heroes, or the plethora of character focused titles. Now, there’s yet another on the way as Marvel and DeNa have announced new title you’ll soon be able to carry in your pocket....

Minecraft has not only been an enormous success on PC, but its console counterpart has been one of the best selling games on the Xbox Live Marketplace ever since it launched. Unfortunately, the features of the Xbox 360 version of Minecraft has been sorely lacking in some of the most popular features of the most recent Minecraft PC updates. Patch 1.8.2 plans to fix that. The most exciting addition is undoubtedly Creative Mode, something console gamers have been begging for ever since the port was released earlier this year....
