According to Rockstar Games (the publisher and developer of the Grand Theft Auto franchise), the size of Grand Theft Auto V’s map is bigger than Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, Grand Theft Auto IV and Red Dead Redemption’s maps combined. But the picturesque Los Santos setting isn’t all palm trees, mountains and the occasional flurry of snow; GTA V is filled with a wealth of things to do. Along with a stock market where players can go from rags to riches, Strangers and Freaks side missions, and the general multiplayer gameplay of GTA Online, players have rarely been stuck with nothing to do....

If there’s one genre that has seen a significant disappearance from the public eye in the past few generations of gaming, it’s the shoot-em-up. Once a staple of arcades and the consoles of sci-fi fanatics, shoot-em-ups have earned the nickname “bullet hell” for good reason. In games such, it’s not unusual to be faced with a screen full of gyrating red dots of death. Jamestown+ is no different. Originally released in 2001, Jamestown represented an alternate re-telling of 17th century history in which British and Spanish soldiers vie for control of Mars in a decidedly steampunk fashion....

But, we have some houses to burn down, so where can you find Drampa?...

At this point in the development cycle, and after hearing that Ubisoft might be shifting gears on the project, we’re not sure what to make of Rainbox Six: Patriots going forward. The sequel burst onto the scene with a controversial teaser trailer during the 2011 Spike Video Game Awards, but after that the development team went dark. Up until the reveal of that trailer Ubisoft had been making claims about the title’s revolutionary FPS storytelling, but then they took a step back to re-evalutate....

Fans of Resident Evil have certainly been having good fortunes lately. Between the critically acclaimed reboots of Resident Evil 2 and 3, and the upcoming Resident Evil: Village, the franchise’s future seems bright. However, video games haven’t been the only medium of choice for the zombie-horror IP, as the franchise has a long and interesting history of spin-off films that looks set to continue, but with a film that isn’t quite a continuation....

Although tonight’s PS4 All Access Event was supposed to be all about Sony’s forthcoming platform, there was one PS3-related announcement thrown in for good measure. But this wasn’t any old PS3 announcement, but was our first concrete details about The Last of Us’ upcoming story DLC, which we now know will be titled Left Behind. Naughty Dog Co-President Evan Wells took to the stage to unveil the first trailer for Left Behind, which will serve as a prequel to the main game....

Throughout its near 60 year history in cinema, James Bond has faced many iconic and intimidating villains, yet No Time to Die perhaps has put up 007 against across the series’ most intimidating foe ever: COVID-19. The writing was there on the wall already pointing to No Time to Die being delayed again due to the fallout from the pandemic and its effects on the movie industry making it rather unwise for MGM from a business perspective to release their latest Bond film....

This year’s E3 conference gave gamers plenty to talk about, both in terms of this fall’s big releases and a few titles still off in the distance. However, some developers went beyond general details about their games or providing quick trailers, and showed gamers their titles in action with gameplay demos. These are the moments every gamer looks forward to at E3. We asked our writers what their favorite gameplay moments were from E3 and compiled the below list of the best ones we saw....

Rocksteady finally announced the next entry in the Arkhamverse: The Suicide Squad Kill The Justice League. Their CGI trailer introduced four-player co-op and showed off Harley Quinn, Deadshot, King Shark, and Captain Boomerang. They are tasked with taking down an evil Superman and the rest of the Justice League. These may be the only playable characters right now but a lot can happen in the two years before release. Hopefully, we can play as other iconic Suicide Squad members and DC characters....

Just like The Witcher 3 before it, CD Projekt Red’s latest RPG Cyberpunk 2077 is a vast open-world game with layers upon layers of depth. This hugely ambitious game is jam-packed with Easter eggs and allusions to not only the developer’s previous works but the recognizable films and games that inspired it. It’s likely that fans of the game will continue to discover new things about the game long after its launch as they did in The Witcher series....

Video games are a relatively new medium. Unlike other mediums, such as movies, books, or music, video games tend to age a little worse. A lot of titles from ten or fifteen years ago just don’t feel as good to play as they did when they first came out. As one looks further and further into the past, the situation only gets worse. However, a few games do stand the test of time....

God of War first came onto the scene late into the PS2’s lifespan, quickly establishing itself as one of Sony’s greatest first party franchises. After a short hiatus following the disappointing God of War: Ascension, the series came back with vengeance in 2018 with the fourth mainline entry, God of War. The gameplay and narrative felt totally different, yet simultaneously reminded gamers why they love Kratos. Since fans have had more than a decade to think about this series, they’ve found some logical gaps in the world, which they have turned into memes for everybody’s enjoyment....

Pokémon fans are still enjoying the recent release of The Crown Tundra DLC for Pokémon Sword and Shield, with the new area, story content, and more to keep them occupied, and with many shiny hunters on the prowl for new pokémon to add to their collection. Though players spend a lot of time with their favorite pokémon, most don’t realize how big or small they are unless they go delving into their Pokédex....

Marvel Ultimate Allliance 3 is a fun dungeon crawler-style game with great co-op play. Four players can join together with their iconic Marvel heroes to duke it out in familiar locales against infamous foes. While the game is relatively easy to pick up and play it also has some surprising depth and complexity. The story mode is only the beginning of this fun game and players will find that the endgame requires quite a bit of skill and thought to get into....

Spider-Man: Miles Morales is one of the most anticipated games of this year, and one of the first ones to come out for the next-gen PlayStation. This game will smoothen the transition between this generation and the next, so it’s expected that a whole lot of people will play this game to see how games will feel like on the new console. On top of that, this is a character that is already beloved by many, and it is a follow-up to a game that was also very well-received....

In 2009, a small Japanese game called Demon’s Souls released to little fanfare. Those who did buy it slowly discovered the intense depth of the mechanics, systems, and lore. Word spread of this enigmatic RPG, turning it into a cult sensation. FromSoftware churned out Dark Souls a couple of years later, which continued the developer’s upward trajectory. By the time Bloodborne came out in 2015, the studio had become mainstream, and their games had influenced numerous other studios....

The attention surrounding the Batman: Arkham series - brainchild of Rocksteady Studios - may have recently turned toward the team’s final entry in the franchise, but the developers seeking to tell the origin story of the iconic superhero and his rogues gallery aren’t done just yet. With several of Batman’s most villainous opponents already introduced in Batman: Arkham Origins, the team at WB Games Montreal saved one of the best for last: now, players can finally see the first encounter between the Dark Knight and Mr....

A CG action trailer for BioShock Infinite has just arrived, and it just might be the best trailer yet. Comprised entirely of action shots, and little-to-no back-story, this trailer functions in a fashion similar to the Infinite box art — it gives the game a mass appeal — but it’s also pretty incredible. While we don’t know if this actual scenario plays out in the game, the trailer features our hero, Booker DeWitt, looking upon Elizabeth, who is mere seconds from execution....
