Dragon Ball Super is an installment in the popular Dragon Ball franchise. The series came out several years ago, and a lot of fans were very happy as it brought back old memories. The Dragon Ball Super anime ended back in 2018, but the manga is still going on. Dragon Ball Super was an action-packed series, and the studio involved with the anime delivered a lot of quality episodes. It was a great experience for all the fans, however, as is always the case, the series wasn’t perfect....

Wolfenstein: Youngblood is not what we were expecting. First of all, those surprises go beyond this being a dedicated co-op game set in the ’80s. This doesn’t mean it is terrible, or anything, but Youngblood takes the franchise in a different direction from what most fans of the franchise are probably expecting. It’s just, again, not what we were expecting, which is both a good thing and a bad thing. To help players decide if this is the game for them, here are a few tips and forewarnings to make all of the new information go down easier....

The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim has earned (to quote a Skyrim character who is quoting an Indiana Jones movie) “fortune and glory” since its release almost 10 years ago. In that time, it won high or perfect reviews from major gaming outlets and accrued dozens of awards - including several ‘Game of the Year’ titles. Skyrim was in the works before it was even officially in development, as Bethesda mulled over where it should go after Oblivion....

Some game franchises never seem to die, releasing sequel after sequel for decades on end. Others never have a chance to truly flourish, with many great video games never receiving proper sequels, even if the original had strong sales and reviews. Even so, fans hold onto hope they will one day see their most anticipated game sequels officially announced. While there are many game sequels that have been long-awaited by fans, these are the 10 most notable game sequels we’re still waiting for....

Over the past decade, VR has transitioned from a rare, and often useless, relic of the 90s’ technological dreams, to a new form of gaming that becomes more commonplace with each year. With the first year of a new decade upon us, VR has really started to come into its own and carve out a place for itself in the gaming industry. Of course, as VR technology improves, so do the games that can be played on it....

Halo: Combat Evolved forever changed gaming when it launched alongside the original Xbox, proving PC quality first-person shooters could make their way to home consoles. Other popular examples of the genre existed before then on the N64 and PlayStation, like Goldeneye and Medal of Honor, but Halo established and perfected the dual-analog control format. Since then, first-person shooters have been a genre, though they have changed and evolved in many ways....

From their wonderfully told stories to their compelling quests, the Witcher games are some of the best RPG titles out there. Witcher 3, in particular, will go down as one of the best games in recent memory. Although no series is perfect, even in the incredibly detailed world of The Witcher, some things don’t make sense. There are certain inconsistencies or gaps in logic that manage to stick out when playing the games....

LA-based esports organization 100 Thieves has confirmed its return to competitive Call of Duty, joining the Call of Duty League in the 2021 season. The organization will compete under the LA Thieves name, following the league’s geolocated team name format. 100 Thieves left the competitive Call of Duty scene last year, prior to the start of the CDL’s inaugural season. 100 Thieves CEO Matthew “Nadeshot” Haag is a former Call of Duty competitor, who later founded the organization in 2017....

Borderlands is one of the most celebrated franchises in recent video game history, with a handful of releases, and a fanbase that breathes the dystopian world portrayed in the games. Despite the breadth of support, the talent behind the series is still vulnerable to change. It was just revealed that 2K was closing the doors to Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel developers, 2K Australia, and now one of the creators of the Borderlands franchise is bowing out from his role at Gearbox Software....

Early sales numbers for highly anticipated games, especially for games like Call of Duty: Black Ops 2, are becoming harder and harder to evaluate. At first, the numbers were purely unit-based, with publishers like Activision boasting about the sheer amount of retail copies that were flying off store shelves within the first day, week, or month of release. Now, however, publisher’s strategies have changed, and they have begun to seek out new ways to emphasize their product’s importance, or dominance, in the video game market....

Details on the next Call of Duty are currently scheduled to land on May 1st, but Activision has recruited well-known YouTube celebrity, FPSRussia, to make a video that teases fans with a brand new kill-streak item. FPS Russia’s latest video just appeared this morning, linked from the official Call of Duty website. After following the link, gamers will find a in-depth real-world look at a remote controlled weapon that could make securing victory in the new game a little more dynamic and tactical than the simple strategy of fast-paced running and gunning....

Dark Souls 2 came as a big shock at this year’s Spike VGA’s. Though a sequel was to be expected, fans likely weren’t expecting a reveal so soon. Fans likely weren’t expecting the game to be more “approachable” either. Now, before we raise our pitch forks at From Software, it needs to be understood that “approachable” doesn’t mean easier. Rather, Dark Souls 2 will be more straightforward and direct than its predecessors....

Death rides this June in Darksiders II. A number of retailer-specific pre-order bonuses have already been revealed for the game, but now publisher THQ has taken the next step and announced the Darksiders II Limited and Collector’s Editions. Along with the announcement, new Darksiders II screenshots have been released showcasing Death, Despair, and a really, really heavy door. Any player who pre-orders Darksiders II will automatically be upgraded to the Darksiders II Limited Edition at no additional charge....

One of our favorite games of 2012 was Far Cry 3, a game that came out four years after its predecessor. It was met with positive reviews and loads of award nominations, and so when we first heard of Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon, we weren’t surprised. And we didn’t even know what it was. Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon first appeared on the Brazilian classification ratings board as a downloadable game....

While Madden typically occupies a certain retail prominence in the US, on a global scale it’s tough to beat FIFA. Last year’s iteration, FIFA 11, was a record-breaking launch, but FIFA 12 has already shattered that number. Reportedly selling through an estimated 3.2 million across all consoles, FIFA 12 currently sits as the biggest video game launch of 2011 — even beating out Gears of War 3, which had racked up a ton of pre-orders....

Next week’s Game Developers Conference in San Francisco continues to pick up steam. Recent weeks have teased the appearance of Medal of Honor: Warfighter as well as a possible project from Lionhead Studios. Now, just before the conference kicks off, the event is adding one more horse to its stable -an addition that standard bearers of House Stark and House Lannister in particular should find quite suitable. Bigpoint Games, the development force behind Battlestar Galactica Online, has announced in a press release that their Game of Thrones MMO will be shown off in its pre-production stage at GDC....

One of the biggest reveals at this year’s E3 was the announcement and confirmation that 343 Industries would be carrying on the Halo legacy with a brand new trilogy. Yes, after years of waiting, Halo 4 was finally unveiled as the first part in the recently-branded ‘Reclaimer Trilogy’, and fans everywhere have been giddy with speculation on the game ever since. However, there is at least one individual at 343 Industries who wasn’t content with his work on Halo 4, and has decided to leave the company....

In the days leading up to release, solid reviews and record-breaking pre-order sales suggested that PS4 exclusive inFamous: Second Son would be a strong success for Sucker Punch Productions. Thanks to its eye-popping visuals, the game had been a favorite among games industry enthusiasts gearing up for next-generation console launches but beautiful screen grabs only go so far - especially if the actual gameplay underwhelms. Nevertheless, strong first week sales, paired with a positive response from critics and casual players alike, proved that Sony’s latest open world superhero title had lived up to the pre-launch hype - both in terms of its look and refinements to the already satisfying core inFamous gameplay experience....

When Guerrilla Games first announced their upcoming PS4 exclusive Killzone: Shadow Fall, they promised the title would never charge for any future multiplayer map packs. Rather, the developer hoped to add value to Shadow Fall’s base game through secondary content like new modes, classes, and weapons. One of those new modes will come in the form of a standalone piece of add-on content called ‘Intercept’, Killzone: Shadow Fall’s version of the horde mode, if you will....

Fans have eagerly been awaiting the Minecraft Adventure Update for more than a month now, which is set to be playable at PAX this year. Information has been purposely scarce about the fabled 1.8 update, with Mojang keeping a tight-lip about features, having not said anything since June. Today, however, two images sprang up over Twitter which give away plenty of new details about what next Minecraft update brings to the table....
