Saints Row Gat Out Of Hell Narrated Trailer Pushes Series To New Depths

Although the Saints Row franchise was, at one point, trying its best to keep pace with Grand Theft Auto, it has found a new identity as of late. Rather than follow down the same path as its competitors, Saints Row took a wide left turn somewhere between entries number 2 and 3 and has come out all the better because of it. Saints Row chose to fully embrace its goofy side and now, in some respects, has become a more exciting franchise than GTA ever was....

Sine Mora Review

Sine Mora is a shoot ’em up co-developed by Digital Reality and Grasshopper Manufacture. Grasshopper was in charge of concept art and sound design, while the actual story, gameplay, 3D modelling, and general coding was done by Digital Reality. This team effort between a less well-known developer and the all-star cast over at Grasshopper is decidedly weird. It contains one of the most complex and terrifying storylines of most any video game on the market, possibly only rivaled by other Grasshopper games like Killer7....

Splinter Cell Blacklist Trailer Shows The Transformation Of Sam Fisher

He’s climbing in your windows, he’s snatching your people up: Sam Fisher is back and he’s tooling up for Splinter Cell: Blacklist, the latest installment in the popular stealth action series. This time around, the threat is a mysterious terrorist organization called the Engineers, who have vowed to commit a series of escalating attacks (“The Blacklist”) in order to achieve their ultimate goal of bringing death to America. Along with Fisher’s transformation from the average man about town into a hardened Fourth Echelon solider that is shown in this trailer, Splinter Cell: Blacklist also brings a change behind the scenes, as long-standing voice actor Michael Ironside has handed the reins over to young whippersnapper Eric Johnson, who was more physically capable of handling the movement required for the new performance capture technology being implemented by Ubisoft in the game....

10 Best Dungeons Dragons Classes For Ranged Combat

Dungeons & Dragons allows players to choose from several unique classes with their own distinct abilities when creating a character. Not only do these classes provide characters with distinct flavors, but they tend to dictate their strengths, whether it be in physical combat, offensive spellcasting, or utility. As much as some players may love to build melee-focused characters that can deal absurd amounts of damage when up close and personal, other people may prefer keeping themselves out of harm’s way, fighting from afar....

10 Best Quotes In Hyrule Warriors Age Of Calamity

Breath of the Wild instantly became one of the most beloved titles in The Legend of Zelda franchise. Though players found the exploration and shrines to be a lot of fun, the story lacked compared to games such as Ocarina of Time and Twilight Princess. Earlier this year, Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity was announced, which would reveal a lot of the events from Breath of the Wild’s lore. Now that the game is out, players find it to be even better than expected....

Season 2 of Call of Duty: Blacks Ops Cold War just released, with an all-new Battle Pass, new maps, weapons, and more.

10 Reasons Why The Nintendo Switch Is The Best Console For Parties

The Nintendo Switch has been out for three years now and between the hybrid design of the console and the exclusive games that are released on Nintendo’s flagship product, the Switch is quite possibly the best console to use for parties when groups of friends get together and want to play a game. Xbox usurped the crown from Nintendo in the glory days of Halo and LAN parties, but Nintendo wrestled the top spot back with the Wii, and the Nintendo Switch is the next iteration in a long line of party-friendly gaming consoles....

10 Unusual Pok Mon Descriptions In The Pok Dex

Pokémon, previously referred to as “Pocket Monsters,” are fascinating creatures that we have grown to love because of their unique shapes and sizes, and loveable habits. The Pokémon anime does a wonderful job of showing the facets of Pokémon, but as complex creatures, it is difficult for an animated series to capture their entirety. The new Generation VII Rotom Pokédex is a tool that shows what Pokémon you’ve caught, can make phone calls, and work as a map, sort of like an iPhone or Android device....

10 Worst Call Of Duty Games According To Metacritic

Seventeen years. That’s how long the Call of Duty franchise has been around. Normally, other game franchises would only have at most 17 games or even a lot fewer, but Call of Duty has strength in numbers. There is nearly three dozen Call of Duty games out now—that’s an average of two Call of Duty games per year since its inception. The downside is that not all Call of Duty games are worth the players’ time....

15 Nintendo Video Game Sequels Coming In 2019 And 15 We Hope We Never See

Like blockbuster movies, if a video game makes a heap of money, no matter the reception, they’ll make another one. Just look at Star Wars: Battlefront 2 or Call of Duty—franchises that will never fail because they make so much cash. And it’s the same with Nintendo; their staple franchises exclusive to their own hardware are perhaps their only lifeline in the brutal industry of gaming. Most of the time Nintendo hits gold; their recurrent series like Mario and The Legend of Zelda are usually supremely popular and equally acclaimed at the same time....

Seminal shooter sequel Battlefield 4 is very nearly upon us.

Scheduled to deploy later this month, Battlefield 4’s intel division appears to have sprung an early leak, releasing details on all 42 of the game’s highly-collectible achievement goals online....

Dragon Age Inquisition Patch Adds Item Storage More

Dragon Age: Inquisition is one incredible game, and certainly feels like one of BioWare’s largest games (in terms of world size, at least) to date. Ask a handful of people that have put a decent amount of time into the fantasy RPG, however, and a few will probably respond with similar issues they have with the game: the run speed leaves a little to be desired; the areas feel large, but ultimately disconnected; and there’s nowhere to store items to free up inventory space....
