Story is becoming a bigger part of video games. While companies keep making multiplayer shooter games, they often get push back from fans because there is a rising preference for a linear single-player story full of interesting characters. However, some stories get way out of hand. There are games that blend so many genres and tropes that you do not know what is going on anymore. These are games where if you try to explain them to a friend, you catch yourself making yourself confused....

As choice-based games, the Mass Effect trilogy presents a variety of choices ranging from murdering characters to making a joke in front of your companions. Many choices seem trivial compared to more drastic situations, but almost every decision shapes your journey through the trilogy. Amongst these choices, however, are events which seem significant yet end up changing little to nothing in the series. Some of these choices should have a larger impact on the world yet do not, while others promise results that never occur....

Welcome back to the crazy world of bootlegs. I’m no stranger to the stuff myself. I’ve covered it previously in an article strictly aimed at counterfeit Nintendo games. It was a while ago, but it’s just as funny and strange today as it was back in February. Now instead of doing a follow up to that list on more games, and believe me there is many more, I went in another direction: toys....

Coming from a kid growing up in the late 90s and early 2000s, I can truly say that the GameCube is one of Nintendo’s most underrated consoles of all time. Today many still scratch their heads wondering why the GameCube flopped because the console was practically oozing with games that we consider masterpieces today. Super Smash Bros. Melee, Super Mario Sunshine, Metroid Prime, and one of my all-time favorites, Animal Crossing....

Nostalgia is a magical and mysterious thing. As you grow older, you reminisce about days past whether they be great, terrible, or even trying on your psyche. Near the end of last year, Nintendo released the NES Classic, which included 30 “classic” games from the 80s and 90s, but the list of games was received with mixed reviews. In some cases, there were true examples of gleeful nostalgia while in other cases you couldn’t help wonder what they were thinking; sadly, the iconic plumber made up 20% of these titles....

Surviving on the western frontier in Red Dead Online can be expensive, and money doesn’t always come as easy as one would hope. Some weapons cost hundreds of dollars, and other content is locked behind hefty sums of Gold Bars. Unfortunately, some activities in Red Dead Online just don’t pay all that much, and sometimes players will need to save up for a while to get what they really want....

Fallout is definitely a maze of hidden Easter eggs. Throughout the years, fans have been able to stumble upon their fair share of secrets. From pop culture references to blue-collar humor, Fallout never fails to deliver where other games fall flat. So many games later, and we’re still fighting off ghouls and super mutants, while enduring a marathon of smart-mouthed dialogue that keeps us entertained from mission to mission. Looking at the games, it’s very obvious that the developers know their audience really well and feed into our desire for sarcastic and abrasive humor....

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! I grew up with the show, and have since fallen in love with each of the characters, despite the fact that a lot of the action can be repetitive and they keep bringing Frieza back, no matter how long it’s been since planet Namek....

Pokémon Red and Blue came out during a time where the internet was in its earliest stages. It was a time when playground rumors were like the watering hole of information for video games. Naturally, this would lead to some false facts and myths about your favorite games. In this regard, Pokémon is one of the most prominent franchises. There are plenty of stories about secrets and hidden locations in the game....

Oh, McDonald’s. Where all of our sugary, salty, fat-laden dreams come true. Although they’ve made efforts to rebrand as health conscious, they’re not fooling anyone, are they? They’re unhealthy as all heck and don’t get me wrong, there’s a place for that. When you’re a kid and you go there, the food tastes like the best stuff you’ve ever eaten, ambrosia from the cartoonish gods. Going back there as an adult is slightly less magical, partially because your taste buds have matured beyond only sensing sweet, salty, fatty, and more fat, and partially because you can no longer get Happy Meals without looking like a weirdo....

Nowadays, gaming is big business, and any half-way profitable AAA corporation has a marketing staff working around the clock to ensure that every potential customer is painstakingly aware of the developer’s upcoming groundbreaking game! Every calendar year is punctuated with numerous high-profile conventions designed specifically to showcase the latest hardware or software; however, social media has made it simpler than ever to submerge an audience under a seemingly never-ending wave of adverts and hype....

The Summer 2022 anime season is entering its final stretch, and several series are going full throttle. Some are diving headlong into their final story segments, while others are tying together loose threads before they go dormant for another year or two. As we enter September, though, some of these shows have risen above the others, and that’s not even considering the new shows taking the scene at the last minute....

Halo Infinite is shaping up to be one of the biggest releases of 2020. With an abundance of news surrounding the game, it can be challenging to separate fact from falsehood. With 343 Industries at the helm of the project, we can be assured the IP is in good hands. To go along with five facts we know about Halo Infinite is a set of rumors. Most of these rumors will be unsubstantiated until the game releases....

When Destiny 2 first launched in September 2017, the Crucible was not in the best shape. All of PvP was designed for 4v4 instead of the standard 6v6 from Destiny 1, heavy ammo and supers were extremely limited, and there were very few incentives to commit to playing a lot of PvP. But over the course of the game’s first year, a lot of corrections were made to the Crucible to make it a much more enjoyable experience....

The DC Universe is back and better than ever, DC’s illustrious cast of characters are ready once again to punch, kick and ‘Super move’ the living daylights out of each other in Injustice 2. Fighting game supremo’s NetherRealm Studios return with their second addition to the Injustice franchise with added features such as character customization and a bigger online community. Despite the interesting additions, the biggest thing that Injustice fans were looking forward to is the list of superhero and villains they get to select from....

Genshin Impact is coming out with a new event that will run between 16th March to 25th March. The event is called the Wanmin Welcome and like previous events feature various special rewards and challenges. This event comes directly after the Invitation of Windblume and acts as a mini update for the game. However, Wanmin Welcome won’t be that widespread and expansive as the Invitation of Windblume. Players will be able to collect the rewards after the event is over until the 30th of March....

In the 90s when gamers around the world were beating up street fighters or shooting doomed Nazi monsters, Namco released a title which would eventually revolutionize aerial combat in gaming. Air Combat which eventually evolved into Ace Combat defined what it was like to be a pilot and take to the skies. It was a completely different experience compared to the “bullet hell” or “shmup” games of the past. Fast forward to the present and today’s generation of fans will see the 7th title in the franchise — Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown....

Now, see, this is why we can’t have nice things. In the light of the Kingdom Hearts III leak, we may not see any more simultaneous worldwide launches from the game’s director. We all hate spoilers, don’t we? They’re unavoidable, really, with the internet and all, but that doesn’t mean it’s ever okay. It’s irritating enough that movie trailers seem to take it upon themselves to show you every single interesting moment of the movie, saving you the trouble of going to see it in the first place....
