While an easy case could be made for why a dozen or so last-gen games should make the jump to current-gen platforms, the discussion ultimately comes down to visuals. If the game looks even the slightest bit impressive on old hardware, one can only imagine how it would look with a little extra power under the hood. One such game that seemed to be at the top of everyone’s list as a must-remake was Naughty Dog’s The Last of Us, which admittedly looked gorgeous running on the PS3....

Few properties manage to shock the gaming world like Telltale’s adaptation of The Walking Dead, an adventure game based on Robert Kirkman’s comic book series. But for all the accolades it received, fans are still hungry for more. And today, the studio released the very first trailer for The Walking Dead: Season 2. The prior Season 2 tease involved little more than Clementine’s hat, but with the new trailer comes confirmation that players will be stepping into her role, and helping her to grow up fast and mean - assuming she wants to survive the events of the season....

Nathan Drake may have to go spelunking for treasure, but it seems Naughty Dog is a bit more fortunate. Sony has announced that their critically acclaimed Action/Adventure game Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception has sold almost 4 million units on its first day at retail. Uncharted 3 sold roughly 3.8 million units at launch, a number which is sure to grow as the days pass on. The franchise has certainly been a successful one for Sony, as prior to the game’s launch they announced that the franchise has sold over 6 million units....

Many Xbox Live Indie titles typically get a bad rap as low quality - in comparison to their Arcade brethren. The stigma is not entirely unfounded - as there is plenty of shovel ware in the Xbox Live Indie section. Luckily for gamers, every so often a title comes along that shows the Xbox Live Indie section is worth checking out. Veks and Silence is one of them. Veks and Silence is the story of a washed up video game character named Silence who is set free from jail to eradicate the zombie infestation plaguing his world....

Despite the dozens of World of Warcraft servers available, it is pretty unlikely that new players logging in to the game will be able to roll a character with their first name of choice. After 10 years and over 12 million unique subscribers, it’s pretty tough to come up with a name that hasn’t already been used. Unfortunately, many awesome handles are doing nothing more than collecting digital dust if they are owned by an account that is no longer active....

There are a lot of video games that tackle different issues with morality and some of them do so in a realistic and heartfelt way. So many games these days have choices in them that players can decide on to help them shape the story and the world around them. However, there are definitely some definitive games that have the best morality themes that players have ever experienced. This list will go over 10 of these games and show gamers some video games themed around morality that they may never have heard of....

Despite the year 2020 being a difficult year for game releases and delays, there has been a surprisingly decent line up of quality games. This includes a strong list of the RPGs from AAA studios and indie developers alike. There have been long-awaited remakes, remasters, and brand new IPs making their mark in a year that’s far from over. RPGs whether they are from Japan or the West provide gamers with the kind of longevity and depth that gamers needed in the year 2020....

With the recent introduction of the Switch Lite (still mad that it isn’t called a Lite Switch), it is clear Nintendo will be iterating on their newest console. As they should; the Switch is practically made for both upgrades and downgrades. With this in mind, a future Switch Pro is certainly not out of the question. Today, we’ll be taking a look at ten features that a modest Switch upgrade should have....

The gaming industry, like other branches of entertainment, can be simultaneously kind and cruel. Some franchises persist for years while others fall off the map entirely. This can be due to developer disinterest, failed continuations, waning sales, or a combination of those. Luckily, some series bounce back through reboots: new stories that add to existing lore or start from scratch to inject fresh energy into the mix. One property that could benefit from this is Duke Nukem....

With so many TV shows to choose from these days, people expect that new series will catch their attention right from the start. But it doesn’t always work that way. It’s common for TV shows to start strong but succumb to weaker, later seasons. However, sometimes the exact opposite happens. A TV show isn’t all that great or people simply don’t watch it enough. That might change in the future and the shows become more popular or just plain better....

While 2020 was an uncertain year for everyone, there were plenty of great video game releases that provided players with worlds and stories to escape into. Some of those games, such as Animal Crossing: New Horizons and Ghost of Tsushima, were massive, triple-A projects that engaged millions of players around the world. Not to be forgotten at all, however, the year was also absolutely loaded when it came to indie games....

The Persona series is fantastic and has several stories filled with interesting dungeons, characters, and stories. Many fans have even found these games to be some of the best that they have ever played. Even with all the love, we can’t help but notice some of the ways that these games can make no sense. While we love the thought of taking on ultra-powerful opponents like the Holy Grail, we have to wonder just how over the top these games can go before players just become confused....

The Pokémon TCG, much like the show, isn’t really subject to the same rules as the mainline games. Would Ash’s Pikachu ever get away with ‘aiming for the horn’ in the games? It wouldn’t. It would take an enormous Rhydon-sized Earthquake and be down for the count. Still, that’s plot armor for you. Meanwhile, in the TCG, some truly bizarre moves, card designs, and concepts have been introduced. From a bizarre, gooey amalgamation of Bulbasaur, Charmander, and Squirtle to the hilarious Pokémon Rumble inspired cards, these are exemplary of unique card art....

A new year, a new NHL franchise game; sounds very “Ho Hum,” doesn’t it? Don’t be deceived; while every sports game these days feels like an updated re-skin, NHL 21 has changed in subtle ways. Under-the-radar changes make a mountain of a difference. Moves that perform one-third of a second faster or slower drastically increase the advantage or disadvantage. New players, in this regard, have an edge over veterans of the NHL series....

Skyrim is a giant, sprawling open-world game with hundreds of hours of gameplay and many unique treasures to plunder. As such, there are lots of items that players of Skyrim missed their chance to collect, as well as locations that they just walked by without a second thought. With so many different things to do in Skyrim, it is near impossible to see everything on just one playthrough, and because of that, many players never got the chance to see or collect everything that the game has to offer....

Werewolf: The Apocalypse - Earthblood is based on the tabletop RPG. In the RPG, Players make a character who is a Garou, spiritual shape-shifting beings who fight for Gaia, the spirit of Earth. Garou can be born men, wolves, or werewolves. They can access all the forms in between wolf and man. Their combat form, Crinos, is generally a massive beast whose appearance is enough to provoke temporary insanity in humans....

Super Smash Bros. is one of the most legendary franchises in all of gaming, due in part to the tight and accessible fighting mechanics and the celebration of gaming it encourages by featuring characters from countless franchises. The series is now older than most of its fans, with the first title coming out in 1999 on the N64. The idea of a fighting game bringing together various Nintendo properties was not always a sure thing, as the ten facts about the debut title show....

Unanimously, there has been mostly praise for Fallout: New Vegas. After all, Obsidian Entertainment has a pedigree of being the dark horse of the RPG genre. As a testament to New Vegas’ popularity, it’s still a relevant game right now what with a renewed interest for its multiplayer mod. That, however, doesn’t stop a certain percentage of the fanbase from having some opposing thoughts to New Vegas’ acclaim. To them, the game is rife with some hard-to-swallow truths eclipsed by all the hype and the bandwagon associated with the old Fallout game....

For many older gamers, the NES was their first exposure to digital RPGs. Earlier consoles just weren’t powerful enough for the larger worlds and more complex systems the genre demanded even at that time, and while RPGs have a long history on PCs, home computers were still somewhat uncommon in the ‘80s. Of course, NES RPGs were a far cry from the titles we see nowadays. There were no real cutscenes, combat was either turn-based or featured very simple real-time systems, and storylines were nowhere near as complex as what we see now in modern BioWare or Square Enix games....
