2020 was supposed to be an exciting year for video games, and to be fair, “exciting” is an understatement. This year, gamers got their hands on new consoles, new GPUs, new processors, and game releases. The most prominent gaming news of 2020, without a doubt, revolved around release date delays. Thanks to the ongoing COVID-19 crisis, several studios had trouble keeping up with their schedule. As a result, a lot of games had overdue releases....
David Gage is known for his branching storylines in his narrative-driven games. Most gamers will recognize games like Heavy Rain, Beyond Two Souls, and his newest game Detroit Become Human. Many people have avid hate for these games while others have undying passion. No matter your side, most gamers can agree that these games are perfect ammunition for memes. Your character can do stupid things in the serious world and the dialogue/dialogue delivery can be ridiculously awkward....

As the first Fire Emblem game released outside of Japan, Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade (originally simply titled Fire Emblem in the west) was many players’ first experience with the franchise. Often described as one of the most well-rounded entries in the Fire Emblem franchise, The Blazing Blade is an excellent game for both veterans and newcomers to the series alike. As with every entry in the series, there are numerous characters who tend to be significantly more useful than others....
Video games and anime seem to be the perfect pairing. Since the third generation of consoles, which included the Nintendo Entertainment System and the Sega Master System, many, many games have been created base on existing anime franchises. While they can be seen as a way to make a quick buck, many are great games that hold merit. Anime was at one point very niche, however, in more recent years, anime has become more popular than ever and in turn, there have been many more games based on anime to enjoy....
Few video game franchises go on as long as Resident Evil without completely rebooting the story. While gameplay has undergone several changes, the narrative continues to march on, becoming the closest thing to a video game soap opera. The ensemble of protagonists each has their own story and reasons for ending up in these Zombie-infested scenarios. Sadly, some faces get left in the dust. Averaging only a game a year and mainline entries coming every two or three of those, certain personalities do not show up as much as some would like....

Widely considered to be one of the greatest video games ever made, the original Final Fantasy VII ends on a note of uncomfortable ambiguity. Did humanity survive? What happened after the white flash? The planet is intact, but Midgar has been taken over by nature, suggesting that perhaps mankind did not survive. It was a beautiful, poignant ending that the Compilation of Final Fantasy VII spat on. Years in the making, Final Fantasy VII Remake is finally here and it wants nothing more than to replace the original....
10 Video Games We’re Excited to See at Comic-Con 2014 In years past video games have taken a back seat to movies and TV shows at San Diego Comic-Con, but this year promises to put the latest and greatest titles front and center. Granted, there are plenty of high profile 2014 and 2015 releases (most notably Batman: Arkham Knight) skipping out on the geek Mecca, but attendees should have no problem getting their fill....
The Flying-type consists of a ton of Pokémon that seem the most realistic, with many of them being based directly on real-life birds or other animals. Out of all eighteen types featured in Pokémon, it definitely doesn’t seem like it would be the weirdest. But it has just as many quirks and strange bits of trivia as all the rest. There are quite a few things about Flying-type Pokémon that are interesting, little-known, misunderstood, or downright bizarre....
Since Ghost of Tsushima has so many charms and armors, it can be tough to determine which are the best ones to use for your playstyle. You can try to focus on your ghost weapons or you can try to focus on stealth. There are many different ways to play the game, which also means that there are many ways that players can build their character. With that in mind here are some of the best builds to help players take down the Mongols and take back their island....
Nioh 2 hasn’t been out very long, so the secrets hidden within the game are still being discovered. What players are beginning to realize is that this game is bursting at the seams with hidden content. Many players have possibly encountered some of these secrets but failed to recognize them – or didn’t know how to unlock them. There are, of course, many more hidden secrets in this game than those listed here, but these are few of the secrets that are easy to access while also being fairly easy to miss for those players that focus primarily on the main missions....
The wait is finally over for Batman: Arkham City, and even though Batman is unquestionably the star of the show, his sidekick has become more and more promising in the months leading up to release. Arkham City is already claiming hour after hour of gamers everywhere, but not everyone will have access to Robin’s skins and challenge maps immediately. In case you fall into that group, we’ve got video of Robin in action, in his standard costumes and alternate skins....
Though the popularity surrounding Battlefield 3 has mostly been segregated to a very vocal video game community thus far, the series is branching out into the world of football with a new web series entitled Battlefield 3: Operation Gridiron. Taking four stars on both sides of the football, and placing them smack dab into recreations of Battlefield 3 campaign instances, Operation Gridiron brings the world of Battlefield 3 to life....
BioShock fans bristling over the delay of BioShock: Infinite to February of 2013 are likely finding more time to reminisce about the series’ past highlights: the underwater art-deco metropolis of Rapture, engaging Ayn Rand-dystopia story threads, heartwarming interaction with Little Sisters, not-so-heartwarming interaction with Little Sisters. 2K Games might be feeling the same way, and it turns out the a BioShock release could still be in the works for 2012....
In filmmaking they say that the experience is 50% picture and 50% sound. In video games that might not necessarily be true, but sound is still very important. Further echoing that point, the latest behind the scenes video for Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare focuses on exactly that: sound design. Considering this is a franchise literally built on bombast, it’s pretty safe to say that sound is one of the key pieces in Call of Duty’s formula....
The eighth console generation may be less than two years old, but we’ve already seen a heap of remakes and remastered editions attempt to bring older games into the Xbox One and PS4 era. Some games (like Tomb Raider) didn’t bring many changes to the table, but other ports (like Diablo 3) made some great improvements. Even so, many current-gen gamers complain that developers should be working on new IPs or sequels, rather than throwing a fresh coat of paint on a two-year old game, but a recent petition proves that a sizable group of FPS fans want to revisit a modern classic....
The last two episodes in Arkane Studios’ ‘Tales of Dunwall’ — a series meant to set up the story of their forthcoming game Dishonored — have been released in quick succession so we have sought fit to place all three episodes in a single post for quick viewing. While the series’ first episode (seen above), The Awakening, focused on the history of Dunwall, the whale oil-powered town in which Dishonored is set, these next two introduce elements more closely related to the game’s main story....
Camuflaje de punto Azulejos y tartán Verdes, azules y el músico El gato feliz Olas en el desierto A la orilla del mar Rastreadores de trenes y cremalleras Banderas británicas y vías fluviales Las damas en reposo Cuero y líneas Zapatos a la orilla del mar Una camisa aparcada Cabeza de playa, cuerpo de hierba Hora de dar la vuelta Muelle yuxtapuesto Dípticos de moda de paisajes El mejor amigo del hombre Enemigos mortales El tiempo no espera a nadie Montañas de material Una valla entrecruzada El corredor que se derrite Rumi y Scarlet Un plátano en un jersey Un jersey de viaducto Nubes de plata en el forro
Now that the Gears of War 3 Horde Command Pack rollout delay is behind us, and gamers can now focus on it and future DLC packs releasing without a hitch, Epic Games has released a new trailer showcasing what all comes with that Horde Command Pack. Probably the most exciting element of the pack, and the reason that most gamers flocked to the Gears of War 3 Season Pass, was the promise of three new multiplayer maps (Azura, Rust Lung, and Blood Drive)....
