Dungeons & Dragons dominates the tabletop RPG scene in popular culture. It’s seen a resurgence since the introduction of fifth edition and the popularity of actual play media like Critical Role. But there’s more to life than just D&D. There’s a lot of other game systems out there that you might want to give a chance. D&D is really good at its specific themes and kinds of gameplay, but its rules aren’t best suited for every kind of experience....
There’s always a bit of tension online whenever a game gets announced as an exclusive– especially when said game is a sequel. On that same token, there’s just as much tension when exclusive games go multiplatform. Perhaps not as much these days, but it wasn’t too long ago when fanboys went rabid at the thought of their precious exclusives jumping ship. At the same time, it’s important to recognize that exclusives have their place....

In Nintendo’s library of consoles, only nostalgia seems to truly prop up the Nintendo 64. For all intents and purposes, the PS1 was that generation’s undisputed king. Naturally, this means that quite a few games would have fared better on the PS1....
The epic Grand Theft Auto V is encroaching on seven years old, and a new entry in the series is nowhere in sight. Red Dead Redemption 2’s 2018 release was monumental, but it doesn’t scratch all the same itches. All we really know is that Rockstar Games is working their butts off trying to craft the best gaming experience possible, which will most likely revolutionize the open-world genre once again. Until an official announcement is made, all fans have are these whispers and their own fantasies of how they want the sixth entry to turn out....

The trappings of the Christmas season are inescapable in December. One of these is the big red beacon of Santa Claus himself. But even Saint Nick hasn’t been immune to a facelift. Santa Claus has seen some subversion in a number of disturbing ways through the years, but alongside these perverse visions of Kris Kringle have also been other countries’ takes on the fabled character. Some of these ghoulish figures are Ded Moroz and the Snow Maiden from Slavic roots, the Joulupukki and Mikulas from Finland and Hungary respectively, as well as Olentzero and Tomte, Basque and Scandanavian characters....
Pokémon is one of the first fandoms that come to mind when it comes to fan theories, especially dark theories. This might be because the kids who enjoyed Pokémon when it came out in the 1990s are all now adults who like to play with the idea that Pokémon is darker than we think. With each form of media, the franchise is getting more complex in terms of its myths. What may be true for Red and his world may not be true for Ash and his world....
A new report commissioned by the Norwegian Consumer Council has concluded that loot boxes in games are “exploitative and predatory.” Consumer protection agencies in 18 European countries have backed the report and called for better regulation of video games. The report uses both FIFA 22 and Raid: Shadow Legends as case studies to demonstrate the “wide arsenal of tricks to push consumers into spending as much time and money as possible exploiting consumers hope to receive the reward despite a miniscule chance and likelihood to do so”....

When Bethesda obtained the Fallout IP, long-time fans weren’t sure how their favorite franchise would be interpreted. Many praised the change from isometric to first and third person gameplay. Bethesda’s efforts paid off. They were successful in bringing in console players to the previously pc-only series. However, long-time fans complained about the predictable storyline and changes to the Brotherhood of Steel. Fallout: New Vegas hoped to appeal to faithful fans. Former developers from Black Isle Studios, who previously worked on the original game, created a new studio: Obsidian....
The Legend Of Zelda: Majora’s Mask is known for its spooky aesthetic and challenging gameplay. The game had a unique development cycle, rising from the ashes of Ocarina of Time expansions and was initiated under a challenge from Shigeru Miyamoto to Eiji Aonuma. It was completed in only a year using many of the assets leftover from Ocarina of Time, but this didn’t stop the flow of creative ideas, and sadly, not all of them made it to the final game....
A Show So Epic Deserves Equally Epic Fan Art Dragon Ball is the ever-popular manga and anime that has spanned years of movies, episodes, and chapters. The franchise has gotten so popular that Goku even got himself a balloon at the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day parade!

While role-playing video games were gaining popularity in the 80s, PCs and console systems would dominate the RPG industry, until Nintendo released the iconic Game Boy in 1989. © iStock.com/fiorigianluigi This took the gaming world by storm, and handheld RPGs really took off after this period.
