World of Warcraft’s latest expansion Warlords of Draenor revitalized the 10-year-old game when it released last November. After years of watching its subscriber base erode, Blizzard announced that WoW topped 10 million subscribers by the end of last year. Blizzard intentionally staggered the release of some of Draenor’s end game content, like the raids, over the last three months so that players would not run out of new content right after the expansion’s release....

Armor is one of the more important aspects of gear in Darksiders 3. It provides defense, enhanced abilities, special powers, and generally enables the character to slash and crush enemies much faster. The most powerful set of armor is honestly the one that best caters to the player’s desired playstyle. For instance, certain players may prefer to use Havoc while others will largely ignore it. Nevertheless, here are the armor sets ranked in terms of power for the average player....

Castlevania, one of the greatest video game franchises of all time, has enjoyed a bit of a resurgence of late. The original game released on the Famicom Disk System on September, 26, 1986. Since then, nearly 40 titles have been published across just about every significant system in gaming history from the NES onward. The franchise has even made it’s way to TV, thanks to Netflix, which released the first great video game adaptation....

Dragon Ball Super is the current form of Dragon Ball that’s capturing the minds of audiences, but Dragon Ball Z is where the franchise made its mark on pop culture. Since the 90s, kids across the globe have fallen in love with Goku and his lovable cast of characters. Many 90s kids were obsessed with it and Pokemon. What would have happened if the two had a crossover event? Let’s have a look at a few key Dragon Ball Z characters and their perfect Pokemon partner, including Pokemon through Pokemon Sword & Shield....

Be it movies, books, or games – any experience needs to know when it is time to end. Would The Last of Us be better if it lasted 50 hours instead of 15? Probably not. That said, certain games are designed to be played for the long haul. Some offer a lengthy main campaign, others include tons of optional content, while a handful of titles deliver such a satisfying core gameplay loop that the simple act of playing becomes rewarding enough in and of itself....

Adopting a video game series into an anime is no easy task. Gamers and anime fans require different levels of characterization, world-building, and different styles of storytelling. While massive open-world games tend to have more subplots, simply due to their larger nature, the same can also hold true for anime. When considering Netflix’s adaptation of Dragon’s Dogma many things come to mind, it’s controversial material, questionable loyalty to the source material, and interesting animation choices, to only name a few....

Destiny 2 gives players three options when it comes to in-game classes: the deadly Hunter, the imposing Titan, and the all-powerful Warlock. Each of these classes has different skill sets that players can choose from, but Warlocks generally boast the most variety. Warlocks can do everything, from unleashing devastating Nova Bombs to utilizing powerful healing abilities (not to mention the incredible Chaos Reach Warlock). This allows players to fine-tune their Warlock to their preferred playstyle....

Ever since Hideki Kamiya’s Devil May Cry was born out of the ashes of a Resident Evil sequel, Dante has been regularly entertaining gamers with memorably cheesy quips, stylish clothes, and some of the best hack and slash gameplay of all time. While the franchise has hit a few bumps throughout its history, the good definitely outweighs the bad. Devil May Cry 5 brought Capcom’s beloved series back to prominence in a big way, with the sequel proving to be just as good as 2001’s Devil May Cry and 2005’s Dante’s Awakening....

Nintendo as a publisher and platform has been rather quiet of late when it comes to new releases. Fans are enjoying the seasonal updates to Animal Crossing: New Horizons, but it’s unclear specifically what 2021 has in store for the beloved Japanese gaming powerhouse. With some games having loose 2021 dates and others having no dates at all, it’s hard to pin down what’s happening in 2021. Here’s a list of 10 Nintendo game sequels coming out in 2021 ranging from dating games to those assumed to release sometime relatively soon....

Depending on who you ask, the Pokemon anime’s Ash Ketchum is either someone you love or someone you love to hate. In many ways, he’s a great protagonist with a good heart. Aside from being one of the most accomplished Pokemon Trainers in his universe, he’s a beacon of optimism and determination. He’s changed many people’s lives and, in some cases, saved the world. On the other hand, he’s certainly far from being perfect....

The original Xbox is Microsoft’s first console that was based on a version of Direct X which is why the name was chosen. Though the console had very little success in Japan, it still saw a good amount of support in the West. Many of the games were created with American sensibilities in mind so it would make sense that it would have more success over here. While many of the games for the system were also ported over to PC, there are some games that were unfortunately left on the Xbox....

There’s a lot of talk about the Kanto Region in Pokémon considering the supposed leaks that the new games for the Nintendo Switch are remakes of Pokémon Yellow titled Pokémon Let’s Go! Pikachu and Pokémon Let’s Go! Eevee. With a lot of sourced hinting at our return to the first Pokémon Region ever created, what better time to take a look back at the original 151? Pokémon has gone through a lot of revisions since it debuted on the Game Boy, as well as many of the creatures that it allowed us to capture....

Role-playing games are known for two primary things: having to grind away at encounters for experience or items, and their often compelling narratives. RPG stories can run the gamut from the simple and mundane (the big bad evil guy has taken over and the hero must stop him), to absurdly complex and intricate. And while some RPG stories can be hard to take in, if they are done well, those detailed plotlines can be some of the most memorable to players all across the world....

BioWare released Mass Effect Legendary Edition on 14 May 2021 to an eager fanbase. Each day – each hour, really – fans share more little details online about the games, including new bugs, fresh perspectives, tips and tricks for new players, reasons to try Mass Effect for the first time, and more. With so much information – and so much updated to admire and explore – it’s easy for little details to fall between the cracks....

Any fan of the original Final Fantasy VII could go on for hours about the amount of customization the game offers, allowing players to mow down enemies in any way they see fit. This stays true in Final Fantasy VII Remake, and there’s a lot to take in and discover. Many of the original’s core mechanics remain in place here, most notably the Materia system, but there are plenty of new changes such as weapon upgrading and the various action-RPG mechanics to get used to....

The Resident Evil franchise has been scaring the tar out of gamers since its inception in 1996. Even though the series has gone through some tough times, it has always remained a part of the gaming conversation for the 25 years of its existence. Despite the extreme fright it induces, a significant part of the games also cause us to laugh uncontrollably. For the most part, it is purely unintentional. None of the entries below are meant to disparage the legendary games....

Earlier this year, Microsoft announced that it had purchased the Gears of War property from Epic Games for an undisclosed sum. Many fans of the Gears of War franchise were not at all content by the move, and although bringing Rod Fergusson on board to oversee the project adds reassurance, some diehard followers are still skeptical of Black Tusk Studios — the new (and largely untested) first-party developer that has taken over development duty for the series....

Rockstar Games’ highly anticipated Grand Theft Auto 5 has been taking a backseat to titles like Assassin’s Creed 3, Halo 4, and Black Ops 2 as of late, but all that will change come next month. As revealed by a promotional image released earlier this week, Rockstar plans to deliver fans a wealth of GTA V information, which should presumably include details on a main character and potentially a release date....

The third instalment in Ubisoft’s Just Dance series has shuffled onto store shelves, and for the first time ever it’s no longer a Wii exclusive. Each console uses a different method of playing the game (i.e. Wii Remote, PlayStation Move, and Kinect), so each version of the game would presumably feel a little bit different from other versions. The Kinect-compatible version really peaked some interest, because many were curious to see how much effort was put into making the Kinect version feel different than its PS3 and Wii counterparts - as well as stack up against the must have Kinect launch title, Dance Central (and the forthcoming Dance Central 2)....

With the current-gen versions of Madden NFL 25 now available for fan consumption, the attention now turns to the next-gen versions of the game, which are slated to hit store shelves next month. Alongside a new roster and some general gameplay improvements, Madden NFL 25 on Xbox One and PS4, of course, brings the promise of better graphics, a byproduct of new, more powerful consoles. And so, to better illuminate that point, EA Sports has released a new trailer focused exclusively on the improved look of the game....
