Revealed with buzz and released to acclaim, Naughty Dog’s The Last of Us hasn’t strayed for a second from the path of success. The zombie-apocalypse survival epic was number 3 (out of 15) on our list of the most anticipated games of 2013. And awarding it a rare 5 out of 5 stars when it released this June, we’re wondering if the optimism wasn’t understated. Nevertheless, the PlayStation 3 has seen many a landmark title pass its tray over the last seven years (the same, of course, could be said of the Xbox 360 and Wii as they slip into their twilight years); broken records are no small feat....

CD Projekt RED wants fans of the The Witcher 2: Assassin of Kings to know that the Xbox 360 version is going to be not just some simple port to make money off of. The Xbox 360 adaptation of The Witcher 2 is something the company built from the ground up and very specific to the console. In fact, CD ProjektRED has released the first developer diary discussing the process in which The Witcher 2 finds itself on Xbox 360....

When Disney announced that WandaVision would feature original songs from the Frozen songwriters, it was pretty much a given that fans would have plenty of catchy tunes to enjoy. But it turns out even the songwriters themselves didn’t expect one of the show’s recent musical offerings to capture the hearts of so many, and they’re happy to hear it. Kristen Anderson-Lopez and her husband Robert Lopez, the Oscar and Grammy-winning musicians who composed WandaVision’s addictive “Agatha All Along” theme song, spoke about their surprise at how popular the little ditty became almost instantly following its premiere....

In an emergency late-night conference call on Monday night, representatives of CD Projekt Red met with its board of investors. The lengthy discussion, transcribed by Reddit user lonchu, mainly focused on the current state of Cyberpunk 2077 on last-gen hardware, as well as what future plans CDPR may have with the game going forward. One line out of all proves the blatantly obvious, showcasing how CDPR knew about the game’s PS4/Xbox One performance issues and chose to hide them by only allowing reviewers to play the PC version....

The world of mobile racing has come a long way in the past few years, with graphics rivaling those of even the most advanced racing games on PC and consoles. Developers of racing games have gotten more comfortable with utilizing phone touch controls, leading to a more fluid and more comfortable gaming experience. For those of you who like to go fast on the go, we’ve compiled a list of the 10 best mobile racing games to date....

Fire Emblem has had fans since the first game debuted in the West, but it never really took off like Nintendo’s other franchises. It was not Mario. It was not Zelda. Heck, it wasn’t even a Kirby. The list goes on. And yet now it’s hard to imagine Fire Emblem not being one of Nintendo’s key pillars. The reason can all be traced back to Fire Emblem Awakening in 2013. How exactly did Nintendo and Intelligent Systems turn this once niche ship around?...

Fans of Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio’s Yakuza series have come to expect a certain formula from each entry in this long and celebrated franchise. The formula usually includes a sprawling open world, wild mini-games, frenzied beat ’em up combat, and an intricate tableau of different storylines. And while Yakuza: Like a Dragon may have switched up the combat system, it delivered on pretty much every other part of the deal. So to any players who loved this blend of open-world, goofy, criminal, JRPG elements: here are ten other games that should deliver some of that same satisfaction....

With Assassin’s Creed: Valhalla just around the corner, fans are more than hyped to dive into another open-world RPG from the franchise — this time with a decidedly Nordic backdrop framing the stealthy action they know and love. Valhalla definitely won’t be the first game set in that time period. But given that it’ll be a hot minute before the title drops, those very fans might need something to tide them over....

It took two decades, but a Pokémon Snap sequel is going to be available for gamers in the near future. The long wait for the follow-up resulted in entire generations finding and becoming fans of the game, leading to a whole lot of anticipation for the sequel. This also brought with it many jokes, as fans took to creating memes to let their feelings be known to Nintendo. While their wish has now been fulfilled, that doesn’t mean these funny pictures should go to waste....

Players of World of Warcraft likely have imagined their in-game characters exploring Azeroth. Thanks to the depth of Azeroth’s lore in the Warcraft series, players can walk around places such as Dalaran, Stormwind, and Orgrimmar as though they were living cities. However, players can find a way to create their own Warcraft story thanks to White Wolf Publishing. World of Warcraft: The Roleplaying Game makes a tabletop RPG Warcraft possible....

The release of Bloodborne in March 2015 was a huge deal for the PS4. It was the exclusive the system deserved, and certainly the one it needed right then. Players flocked to this grim and gothic world in droves, and critics just couldn’t praise it highly enough. A triumph for FromSoftware, as all the calls for a sequel should have made clear. The truth is, though, a lot of those players didn’t quite know what they were getting themselves into....

Atlus has announced that 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim will be heading west to PS4 on September 8, 2020. The latest game from Vanillaware (the developer behind Muramasa: The Demon Blade, Odin Sphere, and Dragon’s Crown), 13 Sentinels shifts away from the studio’s typical fantasy setting and jumps into a futuristic Japanese one. It released last November in Japan, but delays brought on by the COVID-19 outbreak delayed localization efforts. To that end, only Japanese voice-overs will be available at launch....

In 2019, the Pew Research Center estimated that around 4 billion people in the world own smart devices. That’s more people who ever owned every video game console ever produced combined. While that obviously means that the mobile market is ripe for video games, anyone who has tried to download a random mobile title knows that not all mobile games are created equal. One of the most popular price tags of mobile video games is free…ish....

Despite being a month and a half away from release, Assassin’s Creed III’s achievements have already surfaced online. Weighing in at 50 awards (four are denoted as “Secret Acheivements”), the achievements add up to the Microsoft-required 1000 Gamerscore points and, presumably, will correspond in a similar manner to PlayStation Network trophies. As evidenced by the lasting demand for Metal Gear Solid 4’s trophy support earlier this year, achievements are a big deal among hardcore gamers and passionate fanbases....

During the start-up process of every Assassin’s Creed, a disclaimer of sorts appears on the screen for the game’s audience to take note of: “This work of fiction was designed, developed, and produced by a multicultural team of various religious faiths and beliefs.” Whether necessary or not, it’s certainly apropos. After all, the series’ two former protagonists - Altaïr ibn La’Ahad and Ezio Auditore - have both amassed untold body counts of members of the Christian Knights Templar, all in the name of their Assassin Order and its doctrine of beliefs....

It seems that after weeks of new details concerning Batman: Arkham City, there’s even more good news for fans to come. Not only has developer Rocksteady Studios revealed that they are still keeping plenty of secrets from leaking early, but that console owners will be more than happy with the game’s visuals. We’re used to seeing the best graphics on the PC, but according to the game’s developers, it’s getting harder for them to tell the difference....

Game Rant’s William Case reviews Catherine There’s no better way to say it other than just being blunt: Catherine is potentially one of the most original and entertaining games to date. It’s hard to imagine how Atlus’ Persona Team came to the notion of blending puzzle-platformer with the real-life implications of adultery and relationships - but it works. In fact, not only does Catherine work, it works so well that it makes the player put down the controller and think....

The launch of a new generation of consoles just wouldn’t be the same without a major BioWare RPG, but while the march towards the PS4 and Xbox One continues, news regarding Dragon Age: Inquisition has been hard to come by. That may be about to change, as Game Informer has revealed the third entry in the medieval-fantasy epic as the star of its September issue. Along with new details in the magazine’s coverage itself, the reveal trailer features some of the most well-known faces from within BioWare discussing their hopes for Dragon Age on next-gen, and provides some of the first looks at (pre-Alpha) gameplay....

Romance in video games can be deep and meaningful, but a lot of romantic subplots are on the shallow side thanks to poor NPC characterization. But if there’s one thing BioWare does right as a studio, it’s character development. While not all of their romances are moving to the same degree—some not at all—they have a pretty good track record for representing romance between many different types of people. Between Mass Effect and Dragon Age romance plots, there are tons to choose from—these are just a few favorites....
