The Star Wars franchise had featured many compelling and fascinating races and species to life during its 40-plus years as the premiere science-fantasy fiction. Jedi, Sith, Hutts, and Wookies are legendary groups and races, but there have been many others that have joined the fold over the years. One of these is the imposing and deadly group of people known as Mandalorians. The Mandalorians are brought together by a creed and a unified culture centered around strength and combat....

Any way you slice it, the entirety of the Far Cry franchise has featured sprawling maps with tons and tons to do wherever you look. The franchise usually sees the protagonist tossed against their will into a setting which is sometimes pretty straightforward and sometimes absolutely insane in rare cases like Far Cry: Primal or the 80s inspired, synthwave aesthetic laden Far Cry: Blood Dragon. Each of these games provides tons and tons to do, so much so that even 2 years after its release, it’s likely that the following locations haven’t been discovered by the most avid of players....

With the recent release of Watch Dogs: Legion players are starting to see that the game is a bit of a different beast when compared to previous titles. This time around players are gathering a team of rebels to usurp Albion’s control of London. While much of the gameplay and mechanics are similar, there are some changes. As a result, there are different strategies and tactics that need to be implemented....

One of the most surprising happenings in gaming this year has been the growth in popularity of the Capcom RPG Dragon’s Dogma. The 2012 game has received this resurge in attention due to the Netflix original anime series. Just like in the game, there were many subtle secrets fans missed. Whether these were interesting facts from the production of the series, or more hidden plot lines, here is a list of things fans missed, or didn’t know about Dragon’s Dogma, Netflix....

Fans of flight simulation, Star Wars, and the iconic pilots and ships that come with the franchise are rejoicing at the release of Star Wars: Squadrons, a game a section of the fandom has dreamed of for years. EA’s latest Star Wars effort truly makes players feel like they are piloting a starfighter. Despite its flaws, it is an extremely fun game with a lot of multiplayer replayability. Despite the challenging nature of the game, there are already players who are extremely skilled and well-versed in everything to do with playing....

The Metal Gear Solid franchise has been out of the limelight for years thanks to publisher Konami abandoning triple-A game development and franchise creator Hideo Kojima, who left to form his own studio. Eyebrows were sufficiently raised recently when Metal Gear, Metal Gear Solid, and Metal Gear Solid 2 were released on Windows on GOG. This release may potentially expose many newcomers to the series, so the following list lets inexperienced players in on a few things to know before venturing into the 1998 classic....

This article comes from Den of Geek UK. At first, the idea of horror films for children seems like an oxymoron. ‘Horror’ as a genre inspires thoughts of gore, body horror, screaming ‘final girls’ and overt sexuality. However, horror is more than this – a great deal more. Recent adult horror films such as A Quiet Place and IT can highlight tensions and fears of the adult human psyche: the invaded home, the transmogrified self, our deepest anxieties brought to life....

Although it’s been available for about a year now in Japan, 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim, the sidescroller and RTS hybrid from Atlus and Vanillaware, has largely flown under the radar for those living in the West. And now that the game will finally be available to an international audience, players will be able to discover what Smash Bros. director, Masahiro Sakurai, was talking about when he said that everyone should play this game....

Break out the Rolling Rock, everyone’s favorite nerd (with serious anger management issues) is finally getting close to releasing his first feature length film and today fans are treated with the first trailer – loaded with enough filth, cursing and potty humor in three minutes to rival many of the show’s full episodes. The long running web series has grown since its humble beginnings as a YouTube video game review back in 2004....

It’s unlikely that players of Assassin’s Creed 4: Black Flag have already run out of ways to spend their time throughout the Caribbean, but those looking forward to the first story-based DLC campaign won’t have to wait much longer for a change of pace. The ‘Freedom Cry DLC’ has been dated for release come December 17, 2013. While it’s expected to launch simultaneously across the Xbox 360, Xbox One, PS3 and PS4 platforms, a Wii U and PC release may be somewhat delayed....

At their Call of Duty: Ghosts multiplayer event earlier today, Activision finally gave fans what they were waiting for: an up close and personal look at this year’s highly anticipated online shooter. Along with the release of a trailer, developer Infinity Ward also detailed the new additions for this year’s multiplayer, which includes new modes, new systems, and new customization options. However, in order to get in on the Call of Duty: Ghosts multiplayer action, gamers will need to pick up the game....

If there’s one thing that rarely fails to rev up the engines of the gaming hype train, it’s an early look at an anticipated upcoming title. However, with the conclusion of the recent Destiny beta, it’s hard to deny the fact that for many, the excitement surrounding that game has hit an all-time high. This makes it unsurprising that despite being only a glimpse of the full game, some gamers spent an extraordinary amount of time with the beta....

When Bethesda first announced Dishonored, a first person stealth/action game with a steam punk aesthetic, it was hard to figure out. Developer Arkane Studios, who previously helped with the development of BioShock 2, was a relatively unproven developer working for a publisher with a prestigious track record. The game itself seemed like a riff on the BioShock formula, a combination of melee and weapon combat in one hand and magic-based abilities in the other, and the verdict was out....

The success of the Five Nights at Freddy’s series has to be one of the most unpredictable gaming events in recent years. The franchise, created by solo developer Scott Cawthon, gained popularity after the first Five Nights at Freddy’s title became a word of mouth sensation. YouTube users in particular became attached to the game, with its memorable animatronic enemies and jump scares, making it a perfect title for horror-focused Let’s Players....

Poorly equipped skydivers aren’t the only GTA 5-related items to come crashing down to earth lately; industry-wide records are tumbling too. Following an unbelievably prosperous launch period, in which the open-world title exceeded all critical and commercial expectations, international achievement keepers Guinness World Records have emerged to recognize the game’s success. After much collating, waiting and tabulating, Guinness’s latest verdict is in: Grand Theft Auto V is now the proud owner of 7, yes 7, World Records....

To say that Grand Theft Auto Online got off to a bumpy start would be to put it lightly. Things have not been easy for developer Rockstar Games, who hit the ground running with a seriously flawed product. While some gamers were sufficiently sated by the Grand Theft Auto 5 story mode, many were intrigued to find out what type of multiplayer experience Rockstar had crafted for their highly anticipated game....

Mirror’s Edge was equal parts fascinating and frustrating. Sprinting across stark white rooftops, chasing splashes of crimson, all with the propulsive score by Solar Fields feeding the adrenaline – when it worked, Mirror’s Edge made for a gaming experience unlike anything else. Unfortunately, it also set players up for controller-throwing rage spirals spent trying and failing to make the same jump over and over and over again. The good elements turned Mirror’s Edge into a cult classic, but the broken parts unquestionably drove many away....

The recent reboot of the Mortal Kombat franchise with the release of Mortal Kombat (aka Mortal Kombat 9) was a shot in the arm for the fighting game genre. Add to this the fact that the game was well received and there’s cause for celebration. Now, Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment (WBIE) has issued a press release stating that the newest addition to the MK franchise had sold three million copies worldwide....

Despite the buzz, the fans, and the media interest, not every indie game that takes to crowdfunding gets the traction it needs to break funding records in nanoseconds—or to even get funding at all, such as the indie darling Over the Hills and Far Away. They can’t all be Crowfall, can they? The War of 1812 Told as a Visual Novel Over the Hills and Far Away is a visual novel, and the brainchild of War Girl Games—a U....

State of Decay released on Xbox 360 and PC to mostly positive reviews in 2013, so a lot of fans were happy when developer Undead Labs announced the game would receive an upgrade for the Xbox One with the release of State of Decay: Year One Survival Edition in 2015. The game, which comes out next month, features all of the game’s graphics bumped up to 1080p resolution, as well as both of the title’s DLC expansion packs....
