Rockstar Games have proven that they know what their fans desire, but it’s clear even this early on that LA Noire is aspiring to be much more than just another action title in the publisher’s stable. Now it seems that the team is so committed to delivering a widely-appealing dramatic experience, they’re making it possible for players to skip difficult missions altogether, and continue the story without any need to complete the objectives themselves....

Here’s hoping this new commitment leads to remakes of Disney classics....

Sid Meier, sometimes referred to as the godfather of video games, is one of the most prolific game developers in the industry. In 1982 Meier was a co-founder of Miroprose; a company that started many popular video game franchises, like X-Com and Civilization, which are still going strong today. Meier would leave Microprose in 1996 and form Firaxis Games. It is often easy to tell which games Sid Meier helped develop, as many of them carry his name in their title....

Torchlight II launched all the way back in 2012. That was seven years ago and until now it has only been available on PC platforms.

Well, whatever the reason is doesn’t matter now because PS4, Switch, and Xbox One owners can rejoice as it has finally arrived....

There was a time when every major movie release was accompanied by a tie-in video game. For fans, it was a chance to extend the original cinema-going experience into the interactive arena of gaming. For studios and developers alike, it was a chance to make a few extra bucks. It didn’t always go to plan, though. Atari was the pioneer of the tie-in video game genre but experienced more problems than most....

In the Super Mario Bros. series, there have been a number of different locations that serve as the backdrop of the game.

The beginning of 2020 several days ago marked the end of a decade, which saw the release of some of the most iconic titles in video game history. Of course, there is a lot to be excited about for 2020, given that the first half of the year already has a solid lineup of games releasing soon. However, players who may have missed some of last year’s video game releases would be happy to know that Best Buy is currently offering good deals on some of 2019’s biggest video games....

It’s very hard for any subtitled film to break through in English speaking countries. In many ways you could argue that all foreign language films are underappreciated. Even the ones you assume that everyone must have heard of (Oldboy, The Raid, etc.) are often surprisingly ignored outside of film fan circles. But for every cross-over hit (meaning it’s getting a Hollywood remake) there are a ton of incredible films from around the world which charm and amaze a select few, and didn’t garner the wide-spread appreciation they undoubtedly deserve....

In the decades since, Digimon has spawned several games in various genres....
