If the responses to Game Rant’s most anticipated games of 2011 are any indication, then there are a ton of inFAMOUS fans out there, and just to get those fans a little bit more excited about inFAMOUS 2, Sony has released information regarding how the game’s morality choices will be decided. In the first game, there were several moments where protagonist Cole McGrath was forced to either be good or bad....
If you think you’ve got what it takes to make a challenging, snazzy, and original Portal 2 map, a prevalent fansite for the game just opened a contest which is sure to get your attention. Thinking With Portals, the fansite behind the competition, has announced that the winners of the top two positions are up for some fantastic prizes. Before you get crafting away in the Valve Hammer Editor, you should know that the idea of this competition isn’t just to make a ridiculously complex Portal 2 puzzle - the judges will range from hardcore veterans to very casual gamers, and you’ll be critiqued in five areas: Puzzle Complexity, Visual Appeal and Attention to Detail, Innovation and Imaginative Design, Adherence to an Overall Theme (1940s Aperture or Destroyed Aperture), and Overall Fun and Playability....
The suspense surrounding the mysterious Saint’s Row: The Third can now end, with a brand new batch of magazine scans pulling the curtain back on Volition’s third installment in the Saint’s Row series. Besides giving a better look at the artistic style of the game, we now know the various criminal organizations, powerful figures, and new mechanics that players will be getting to know when the game launches this holiday season....
Finally, Blizzard Entertainment has given in to the requests of fans by creating a blast from the past that is World of Warcraft Classic. Recreating the atmosphere of World of Warcraft when it launched is a nostalgia trip like we’ve never seen before. Much of the success of World of Warcraft Classic is owed to its classes. Classes in World of Warcraft Classic are slightly different than the regular game. For starters, some of the balancings haven’t taken place yet....
With less than a month left, Rage 2 is undoubtedly one of the upcoming open-world first person shooters to look forward to. The original Rage left such an average impression that everyone was surprised to hear Bethesda Softworks publishing its sequel. But seeing the gameplay trailer, it felt like the proper sequel the original Rage deserves. The game features an immersive post-apocalyptic open world with a combination of gameplay mechanisms from Mad Max and Doom, both being previous titles of the game’s joint developers, id Software & Avalanche Studios....
Playing Pokémon games effectively and being a great Pokémon master requires you to put some thought into the moves you use during fights. With the threat of enemy Pokémon, the factors of elemental effects, and the limitations of PP in battle, it’s crucial to hang onto and bust out moves that can take out your opponents quickly and effectively. But with such an absurdly long list of moves, and the restrictions put on the number of abilities each Pokémon can equip, prioritizing the best moves can be a difficult task....
Nier: Automata has as many endings as there are letters in the English alphabet. For a video game, that is a ton of endings. However, some are definitely better than others. Some of these endings are unlocked just by leaving a boss fight, which is obviously more of an end-game scenario disguised as an ending. Some endings are a must-get as they are actual endings to the whole story. Others are just kind of creative, silly, and worth seeing anyway....
When Walt Disney created Disney studios I’m sure he had no idea just how big the company would become. For almost a century the Disney name has been synonymous with producing feel-good animated films and television shows for both adults and children. Disney is responsible for creating iconic characters such as Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck while continuing to release emotional and involving films spliced with humor. As Disney became more successful and technology improved, the amount of films released by the media company began to grow each year....
Ever since Yu Suzuki’s Shenmue sent gamers on a mission to find sailors at the docks, race forklift trucks, and dishing out beatdowns to punks and bad guys in the realistic setting of Yokosuka, Japan, gaming worlds changed forever. The Dreamcast showed the world what could happen if you set a video game inside of the real world. Two years later Grand Theft Auto 3 widened the scope, with its rendition of New York City (Liberty City) on the PlayStation 2....
Graphics do not define a project’s overall quality, but they play a significant role in deciding whether a game endures the test of time. Strangely enough, a visually unappealing PlayStation 2 title might be harder to stomach than early NES releases. The switch from 2D to 3D remains the biggest leap the industry has ever experienced, and the seventh generation further upped the ante by introducing HD. While games like Horizon Zero Dawn and Forza Horizon 3 would never have been possible on the PlayStation 3 or Xbox 360, the current generation did not coincide with an especially dramatic improvement in the presentation of AAA games....
They say that nostalgia is at its strongest when the era to be nostalgic about occurred twenty years prior. For instance, people of the 1970s were way into the 1950s by way of things like Grease and Happy Days. And the 1990s saw Dazed and Confused and That 70s Show. So following along that logic, the 2010s should be hearkening back to the 1990s—and that certainly seems to be the case, especially with a focus on 1990s video game nostalgia in recent years....
After nearly a year of waiting, Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot is finally here, and players from every corner of the globe are already hours deep into the campaign (with some having already completed it). While no Dragon Ball game is without its flaws, recent releases have garnered incredible amounts of attention from the Dragon Ball community who couldn’t wait to get their hands on them. Games like Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 and Dragon Ball FighterZ were very successful upon their respective releases, meaning that there will be no shortage of Dragon Ball games to come, but most of these big games are for consoles only....

Richard Tyler “Ninja” Blevins is arguably the most high-profile streamer today, having topped Twitch’s streaming service while he was active there and more recently topping Mixer’s as well. In fact, Ninja’s inactive Twitch profile is still there and still tops the service, though technically speaking, Tfue is now the top streamer on Twitch. This is despite the fact that Tfue has effectively half the number of followers. That’s only to say that Ninja is about as high-profile as it gets in the streaming world, but there’s still plenty that all viewers, albeit formerly on Twitch or currently on Mixer, may not know about him....
Half-Life: Alyx worked wonders for the success of the Valve Index, as 70 per cent of sales in 2019 occurred once Half-Life: Alyx had been announced (via VG247). In November 2019, Valve revealed that there really is another Half-Life game in the works. A virtual reality exclusive expedition, Half-Life: Alyx sets the scene in City 17 between the events of Half-Life and Half-Life 2. Alyx Vance is the playable protagonist and the narrative and puzzles will follow her exploits while running rings around the Combine invasion....
In the world where we have a ton of “mini-classic” this and that, another one is coming that might interest old-school PC gamers. Simply called the “PC Classic”, it could hit the market soon. According to The Gamer, a small company known as Unit-e created the prototype, and they showed off what it can do in a short YouTube video below. Now, while they only showed off a few classic games, they are awaiting licensing rights for at least 30+ to be included in the final version....
Although the newly-announced Steam Deck is still several months out from hitting the market, a performance boost is already in the works from Valve and AMD. The custom-made Zen 2-based chip that powers the hybrid PC has a specialized driver that’s being developed for better CPU performance scaling in the Linux-based SteamOS that the device will be using. A report from Phoronix mentions that both Valve and AMD are working together to ensure that the Steam Deck will be able to perform as well as possible....
The Democratic party primary process has been going on since what feels like the dawn of time, with still well over a year to go until the next presidential election. Many of us know more about this current group of candidates than some of our own cousins thanks to never-ending media coverage since the process (and seemingly the Big Bang) began. Somehow, such an exorbitant amount of reporting has still left us with an appalling lack of insight into one absolutely unimportant component of each candidate’s platform (save for one) that’s nonetheless well worth considering: what kind of gamer are they?...
The multimillion dollar lawsuit between Activision and Jason West and Vincent Zampella over the rights to Modern Warfare is set to go to trial, after a judge ruled against Activision. As laid out in The Hollywood Reporter, A Los Angeles Superior Court Judge declared that there is sufficient evidence for the world’s biggest third-party publisher to answer claims in court that it allegedly defrauded the ex-Infinity Ward bosses out of royalty payments worth more than $125 million dollars....
