Fighting games are often regarded as one of the most daunting and intimidating video game genres to break into with many newcomers citing an apparent lack of accessibility. Between unique and precise inputs being required in order to execute character specific super moves and special attacks, it’s not hard to see how the genre may appear intimidating. However, there are numerous games whose accessibility does not only help a new (or experienced) player learn the given game’s mechanics, but fundamentals that can translate to other games in the genre....

Fire Emblem: Three Houses is quite the bombastic release for Nintendo! In fact, this new entry into the franchise is feeling so instantly beloved that the only title with more sales is Awakening, the FE game that saved the series. Now, we’re sure that a lot of the success from Three Houses comes from it finally being developed for a home console rather than a portable, as well as the classic FE gameplay people love....

The Dark Souls series by Fromsoftware is one of the most beloved franchises in gaming history at this point and for good reason. Gamers across the world pop in any game in the series, whether that’s the classic Demon’s Souls or Bloodborne, as a kind of proving ground to test their meddle. This series is also notorious for having the toughest bosses around. The only issue is that its lore is scattered throughout the game world, making learning anything about what you’re doing a bit of a scavenger hunt....

The developers of Pokémon, Game Freak, is one of the most successful companies in video game history. While dozens of studios and publishers have released wildly successful franchises, few have featured so many titles or lasted as long as Pokémon has. While even nominal fans of the series are familiar with the different Pokémon games and popular characters such as Pikachu, Jigglypuff, and Charizard, even the biggest fans of the franchise do not know every fact about the series or about the developers....

Dark Souls has quite a reputation for being difficult. The areas are expansive and confusing, the enemies hit harder than trucks, and it seems as if your weapons are made of plastic. It also doesn’t help that the game barely tells you how to play it and simply expects you to learn the ropes as you go along. As such, many interesting and important elements can fall by the wayside. Shortcuts, gameplay elements…there is a lot of hidden content out there!...

For hockey fans who also happen to be gamers, the release of the annual update to EA’s NHL series is a must buy, or at the very least it used to be. While no one is going to deny that the quality is still there, buying each and every iteration becomes redundant past the necessary roster update. To EA’s credit, they do try and manage to find something new to add with each passing year, but some of these new features are less memorable than others....

There are a surprising number of sequels releasing in 2019: while those with even a casual interest in the industry will be aware of major upcoming blockbusters like The Last of Us Part II and Red Dead Redemption II, there are a ton of lesser-known video game iterations launching next year that should have fans equally excited. Releasing a follow up to a beloved stand-alone title can be a tenuous proposition: while fantastic sequels can help to elevate potentially lackluster first outings, terrible second tries can sometimes damage a series’ legacy as a whole....

The Argonians, also known as the Saxhleel or the “People of the Root” in their native language, and often called the lizard-folk, are one of the most fascinating races in the Elder Scrolls Universe. Possessing a reptilian appearance, an enigmatic alien culture, and a host of natural abilities such as resistance to disease and poison and the ability to breathe underwater, the Argonians are nothing if not unique. Similar to their fellow beast race the Khajiit, the Argonians have a substantial fan following behind them and are equally admired and reviled by the different peoples of Tamriel....

After almost six years on the market, it looks like the Nintendo 3DS’s days may finally be numbered, as Nintendo will release the Switch, a console-handheld hybrid, in just a few short weeks. The goodbye will be bittersweet, but there’s plenty to celebrate about the 3DS’s long life. As with any Nintendo system, the 3DS has been home to many great Super Mario, Zelda, and Pokemon games. It’s also helped reinvigorate second-tier Nintendo franchises like Kid Icarus, Kirby, and Fire Emblem....

Video game industry veteran Jamie Degen has launched a Kickstarter project for HellScreen, a first-person shooter inspired by classic 90s genre heavyweights such as DOOM and Quake. That’s no exaggeration either, as a quick look at the first batch of screenshots on the game’s Kickstarter page definitely give off a distinct 90s whiff of pixellated perfection. The crowdfunding campaign has 26 days to go and aims to raise £25,000, and at the time of writing has amassed just over £2600....

The Big N could be looking to release a pint-sized version of its classic mid-90s console, the Nintendo 64. That’s according to a recent European trademark filing by the industry giant (via Business Insider), which heavily indicates that a Nintendo 64 Mini is on the horizon. It would make a lot of sense, as Ninty has previously released miniature versions of the NES and SNES. What’s the big deal about the trademark, you ask?...

This article contains Agents of SHIELD spoilers. For some viewers, Enver Gjokaj reprising his Agent Carter role as Daniel Sousa in the most recent episode of Agents of SHIELD was bittersweet. On the one hand, the 1955 setting of “Alien Commies from the Future!” allowed us to see what happened to Agent Sousa eight years after the events of the earlier series, but on the other hand, it reminded us of how the story of Peggy Carter and her SSR colleagues was cut way too short with the cancellation of Agent Carter after only two brief seasons....

Developer Survios is teaming up with 20th Century Fox to create a new single-player, action-horror game based on the Alien franchise. Details on the new venture - currently being referred to as “Aliens” - are pretty scarce right now, with Survios only saying it’ll feature an original storyline set somewhere between the events of Alien and Aliens, with players taking on the role of a “battle hardened veteran [with] a vendetta against the Xenomorphs”....

As the old saying goes: Fail to prepare, prepare to fail. This goes doubly so if you’re diving into Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, which boasts a slew of Pokemon not seen in other games that have their own evolutionary tracks, Typings and strengths or weaknesses to consider. One such Pokemon is the game’s Fire Starter Fuecoco, and if you’re like most diligent trainers, you want to have a detailed knowledge of all the Fuecoco Evolutions in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet well before said evolutions occur....
