In the Seven Kingdoms, the ruling king (or queen) has, for the most part, ultimate power. That’s why the Iron Throne can be both a force for good and evil; it gives the one sitting upon the throne incredible control over their underlings. However, there is a measure of checks and balances. In House of the Dragon, King Viserys I Targaryen has a small council, each member focused on one aspect of ruling the realm and advises the king on what they think is the best course of action....

If it isn’t already clear that the aspirations in terms of epic storytelling and conflict have been raised for Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood, hopefully this will do the job. Ubisoft has found a protagonist they can get behind, following Assassin’s Creed 2’s main character Ezio as he leaves his quest for personal vengeance behind, and leads a revolution of the Roman public. The latest launch trailer sheds some more light on the single player campaign of Brotherhood, and escalates Ezio’s quest to truly epic heights....

When it comes to a high-profile video games set against a fantasy backdrop, it’s not an easy task to put the fiction and development team’s approach into words that will truly capture the feeling of the world.

With dozens of hours ready to be spent staring at the game’s protagonist, players should take this opportunity to see just how the Dragonborn will appear in-game....

In what could be some of the most unintentionally funny news we’ve heard in a while, Kaz Yamauchi, the man in charge over at Gran Turismo developer Polyphony Digital, said that fans of the legendary franchise won’t have to wait very long for Gran Turismo 6. We probably won’t hold Yamauchi to his word, considering the lengthy development process, and numerous delays Gran Turismo 5 experienced. Check out the quote:...

Distinguishing itself from many other MMOs on the market, the Guild Wars series has been termed a competitive online role-playing game due to its focus on instanced encounters rather than a large world for characters to explore and interact in. With Guild Wars 2 on its way, the game seems to be shaping up quite well as evidenced by hands-on impressions of the game. In recent years, there has been a distinct surge in the popularity of MMORPGs....

For those of you who can’t get enough of simulation racers, but found that Gran Turismo 5 didn’t pack the amount of punch that you’ve come to expect, EA and the folks over at Slightly Mad Studios have some good news for you.

Fighting games are known for their quirky characters, whether we’re talking about Mortal Kombat, Street Fighter, or newer classics like Bloody Roar or Guilty Gear. They’re also notorious for their sense of humor. There’s the classic “toasty!” after a particularly good combo or uppercut, and easter eggs hidden in the background. But who are some of the best joke characters? Whether those joke characters are funny, actually useful in their own way, or just plain weird, this list aims to take a look at them and raise awareness that fighting games aren’t just brutal slugfests filled with special moves....

Now, this kind of seems like a no-brainer, but video games are supposed to be fun. That’s why they’re called games, after all. They’re to be played, enjoyed, and provide the perfect escapism from the high-pressure nature of our everyday lives. Well, not so much for the developers who slog their earthly souls into creating them. The stress of each Smash Bros. title Sakurai makes, for instance, ages him about thirty years....

It was designed with graphical power comparable to the PlayStation 2, its direct competitor. While the GameCube eventually caught up to its original projection in sales, the PS2 went on the be the best-selling console of all time....

The Harry Potter franchise is one of those fandoms that everyone has an opinion on. Either you grew up with it and have remained a hardcore fan, or it’s just not your cup of tea. Either way, Harry Potter has remained part of our cultural zeitgeist not only because it’s a compelling story with great characters and action, but because it’s very easy to peel back the layers of the story and find new meaning in it as you grow up with it....

Appearances matter. Sure, that might not be the most agreeable thing to say, but a person’s eyes decide whether the object in question deserves to be experienced by the remaining senses. This is particularly true when it comes to society’s forms of entertainment!

For over 10 years, the Marvel Cinematic Universe has been a fixture in popular culture, a success story that other companies have tried (and failed) to emulate.
