Pokémon has been around for more than two decades. Yes, the passage of time is too fast. Debuting in 1996, Game Freak published Pokémon Red and Green/Blue on Nintendo’s original Game Boy. Generation I launched a long and lucrative franchise, but the earliest JRPGs hold a special place in the hearts of countless people. VGChartz lists the franchise’s opening games as the handheld console’s top-selling titles, a feat not easily accomplished when Tetris and Super Mario Land are also fighting for the prize....

From a partnership with Nintendo and Sega, to almost going bankrupt — the history of Sony’s PlayStation is quite rich indeed. The PlayStation has transformed into one of the stalwarts of gaming, ever since the first console was released way back in 1994 (although the release for the West was pushed to 1995). Sony has truly stumbled onto an absolute landmine that has allowed them to become the dominant force in console gaming — they’ve yet to be unseated from their throne to this day....

Spies and assassins aren’t a new concept when it comes to entertainment, as there are many great shows and movies that explore the fascinating and thrilling life of espionage. However, what if that twist was a Mr. and Mrs. Smith comedy romp where the mission revolved around playing house? That is exactly what you get with the Spy x Family anime. If that idea has piqued your interest, then check out the three reasons that Spy x Family is this season’s must-watch anime....

It’s raining Barbies here at TheGamer, and gold is raining down along with them! When Mattel, Inc. launched their very first Barbie Doll in March 1959, little could they have possibly known that this gorgeous work of art, which most of us call a toy, could set such unique standards in the industry. As with most things, our multi-faceted lady made her debut in New York. Families, girls growing up, and a whole slew of collectors have been grateful to Mattel president and inventor, Ruth Handler, for giving them a franchise worth appreciating in all its manifold splendors....

Another day, another Wordle puzzle. This little browser game tasks players with guessing a random five-letter word each day, but the catch is that they have to guess it correctly within just six attempts. This sounds easy in theory, but can get pretty challenging especially if your mind blanks out and you find yourself unable to think of any possible answers. To help you out, here’s a list of 5 letter words ending in OUR....

It’s looking more and more likely that a PC port of Horizon Zero Dawn is on its way. If it’s real, this would be great news for any PC gamers who missed out on this excellent machine hunting action adventure when it originally released on the Playstation 4. But if Aloy is indeed on her way to gaming computers everywhere, there’s one thing we can surely expect: insane, weird mods....

Blizzard Entertainment is the developer behind games such as Overwatch, World of Warcraft, and Hearthstone. They’ve proven that they know how to make video games, but what about remakes? Regarded as a disappointment, Warcraft III: Reforged has made us worried about a Diablo II remake. With players’ sense of nostalgia on the line, there is little margin for error. This loot-based role-playing series is one of the most impactful of the modern era....

Like the Nintendo handheld consoles before it, the Nintendo 3DS was a shining example of just how good a portable video game console could be. Originally launched in 2011 as the successor to the Nintendo DS, the 3DS would go on to have multiple iterations that would ship more than 75 million consoles worldwide. © Zyabich/Shutterstock.com Part of the eighth generation of gaming, the Nintendo 3DS set the groundwork for what would become the Nintendo Switch by keeping Nintendo enthusiasts engaged with a powerful portable console....

Dave Chappelle lets the streets speak for themselves in 8:46, his new Netflix special. “Like it or not, it’s history,” he warns us. It is the first mainstream concert event in North America since the COVID-19 lockdown.

Chapelle is “very proud” of the protesters....

Phoenix SC has released Pokemon Cobalt and Amethyst, one of the most impressive single player vanilla Minecraft maps we’ve ever seen.

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild can now be played in beautiful 4K in first-person mode with the help of this mod. Breath of the Wild has long been referred to as the Skyrim of Zelda games. In much the same way as happened during pretty much everyone’s time in Skyrim, Link could easily get lost in endless hour of side quests and tasks that had absolutely nothing to do with the main story, or the player could just spend hours taking in all the beautiful scenery than Breath of the Wild had to offer....

It appears that Hot Wheels and the Forza Horizon franchise are about to cross paths again, as a seemingly accidentally posted listing for Forza Horizon 5‘s first expansion offered a glimpse at the new partnership. With this potential leak, it looks like Horizon 5 players might soon relive the days of the insane track-based action that the series introduced with the Forza Horizon 3‘s Hot Wheels-themed crossover. The leaked Steam listing did not provide any specific details as to what this expansion will feature, but it did show off some key art that makes it seem like the content will hark back to Horizon 3‘s Hot Wheels expansion....

Intel could be planning to increase the prices for its CPU, peripheral chips, and other products soon. The company will supposedly “raise prices on a majority of its microprocessors and peripheral chip products later this year,” according to a report from Nikkei Asia. The cause of the price increase is apparently rising chip production costs. Inflation seems to be another reason for this as well. However, Intel has yet to officially confirm this, so don’t take this story as fact quite yet....

Sega is the pater familias of so many iconic game franchises that it’s hard to wrap your head around it sometimes. The fact that the company has been around for 60 years now is equally astounding. That’s what makes Sega a legend in the world of gaming, and it’s now proudly flexing its might with an anniversary sale on Steam. There’s a huge list of desirable games to choose from and there should be something for everyone to enjoy....

Call of the Sea, developer Out of the Blue’s glorious tropical island mystery adventure, is getting a VR adaptation for Meta Quest 2, with the project currently set to release next year.

Hell is often depicted as a place of brimstone, fire, and despair, but rarely is it ever seen as party central. Afterparty, a new adventure game developed by Oxenfree creator Night School, reimagines Hell as a downtown city district where demons mingle with human souls and get drunk before returning to the tedious job of torturing. You play as Milo and Lola, best friends who are so painfully co-dependent that even Hell more-or-less regards them as a single person....

Alan Wake has been a long time coming, but believe it or not, it’s arrival is right around the corner.
