World of Warcraft has long been a license to print money for Blizzard, a company without any shortage of profitable franchises. But as it turns out, even the most popular franchise in the most populous market isn’t immune to the ups and downs of fan tastes. Blizzard has revealed that just months after the record-breaking launch of Cataclysm, the number of subscribers has dropped to its lowest point since 2008. Due to the tendency of WoW’s fans to burn through content, Blizzard is already planning on developing and releasing future expansions at a much faster rate....

If there’s one thing the Final Fantasy series is renown for, it’s pure spectacle. Even if you’re not a big fan of the series, you still can’t help but appreciate the effort and imagination that goes into their memorable world building and outlandish characters. I’ve been a fan of the series since the release of Final Fantasy VII back in 1997 and from the first time I saw the massive Titan rip the ground from underneath his enemies, I fell in love with the summons....

The following games are the best first-person shooters of the last decade. Some of these games revolutionized the way we play first-person shooters now....

As launch day grows ever nearer for the upcoming Pokémon Sword and Shield, there is a ton of information that we still don’t know. Look, we’re happy that we now know that there are millions of different curry rice dishes that we can make for some reason, but we have more pressing concerns to get through. What about the ever-present possibility of DLC? How extensive is the Pokédex going to be, after the recent National Pokédex snafu?...

This year, we were blessed with an inundation of a particular meme that would make anyone grateful for being alive to witness it. For some reason, people have decided it would be a worthy endeavor to dub any old videos with Half-Life sound effects (SFX), and boy are they right. It appears as though the Meme Trail can be traced back to 2011 when some guy attempted to “bunny hop” in real life (the choice method of locomotion in many FPS games) and dubbed the experience with SFX from the original Half-Life....

The release of Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3 was highly anticipated by comic book fans. In a game of such magnitude, it can be expected developers were to include secrets or Easter eggs that many fans will challenge themselves to find. Although not all of these secrets have been found, some are just out in the open, leading fans to dismiss them as nothing more than a development error. Here are 10 things fans completely missed in Marvel’s Ultimate Alliance 3....

Google made it’s best attempt to rock the gaming world to the core when it announced it would be making it’s own entry into gaming earlier in the year. Through multiple shows that were unveiled over the last nine months, consumers were given a run down on all the information of this attempted “fourth pillar” of gaming. Could Google stand alongside Nintendo, Sony, and Microsoft? The system launched recently and well…the jury’s still out....

Red Dead Redemption 2 has been out for a while now, and its legacy has firmly settled in. And while it was divisive in the beginning as some called it a masterpiece while others called it an overrated bore, fans have continually made it a contender for game of the year for a reason. It’s beautiful, it’s massive, and most importantly, it’s filled to the brim with secrets. Like all Rockstar games, the open world is ripe for exploration, and it absolutely will reward the most persistent and exploratory of players....

I were to say the words, “I wanna be the very best…” I can guarantee you that most people would know the next line from the original Pokémon theme song, even if they hadn’t personally seen too much of the show. Starting 20 years ago, the Pokémon franchise cashed in with Game Freak’s vision for the games which then led to an animated series. One thing led to another and here we are, Pokémon being one of the largest and most successful franchises ever to hit the shelves....

If you were an outside observer of the Final Fantasy series, you would think it was one of the most divisive long-running video game franchises out there. Forum posts and YouTube rants are filled with angry “hardcore” fans bemoaning how their favorite RPG series has gone downhill. But depending on who you ask, the point at which Final Fantasy started to go “downhill” tends to be a debate on itself. Was it Final Fantasy XIII?...

While remakes and remasters can be a way for fans to play a new version of a classic game, it can also be a way for developers to take advantage of people. Developers will often make remasters with small improvements to take advantage of unsuspecting players. It can be challenging to see the difference, but when a remaster is good, you’ll know when you see it. A quality remaster has upgraded visuals, sound, added content, and runs at a higher frame rate....

This article first appeared at Den of Geek UK. I’d had a PC for a little while by the early ’90s, a rather bleak looking 286 with kilobytes of memory. After saving up though, I took the plunge one day and purchased a shiny new 486 DX2-66, with many megabytes of memory and an ATI Mach 32. With that extra power unleashed, DOS gaming had me hooked once more. And it was amazing....

Platinum Games has confirmed that a playable demo for Babylon’s Fall will be available from 25th February - a week ahead of the game’s official release date. The taster will also give players a chance to band together, as co-op for up to four friends will also be available in the trial. As is usually the case with contemporary demos, all progress made during your free trial can be transferred should you decide to press ahead and pick up the full version of Babylon’s Fall, and those who cough up for the more expensive editions of the hack-and-slasher - the Digital Deluxe Edition and the Collector’s Edition - will be able to get in on the action a little earlier from 28th February....

Just in case you’re not familiar with its history, StarCraft: Ghost is one of the more infamous canceled projects out there. It planned to take a different path from the traditional StarCraft games, going for more of a third-person shooter vibe. But before it could make its way to release, Blizzard scuttled it, possibly due to lack of interest. Oh, but there’s interest now. Apparently, a near-complete copy of the game has begun surfacing online, although there’s not an exact link available at the time of report....
