One thing that the Madden series has lacked in recent years is consistency. But if there’s one thing you can count on every year around August, it’s people complaining about Madden player ratings. It may be impossible to please everyone, but you’re bound to notice a few ratings that aren’t up to snuff. This year’s addition is no exception, and you’ll find plenty of questionable ratings within Madden 20. It may seem like nitpicking, but fans want as authentic an experience as possible – and proper ratings play a huge part in that....

PCs are considered the best video game platform because they have the potential to output the best graphics. If you’re not a gear head, or can’t afford to upgrade your computer to the best, a gaming console is a more attractive option. PC has the most game variety because all games on PC are backward compatible. When it comes to PC games, role-playing games are among the most popular. Instead of being linear and focused, role-playing games are convoluted and contain a ton of customization for players to tailor their experience....

Super Smash Bros. is a game created by using the crossover of several different Nintendo franchises. It was first released back in 1999 for the Nintendo 64 and it only had twelve characters for players to use in the game. Now there are over eighty-six characters that can be played in the newest installment of the series. Fans have fallen in love with this series as it has been released on several different Nintendo platforms....

The ability intimidate is a great one in the Pokémon world. It allows the user to lower the attack stat of opposing Pokémon by one stage every time they switch in, which can easily help the team be able to survive hits from the target. There are many Pokémon that have this ability, and today we’ll be ranking them. No, not on their competitive viability, but based on how Intimidate actually suits the Pokémon, or just how funny it is....

Resident Evil has been around for quite a while and Capcom being who they are, it should come as no surprise that the franchise has seen more than its fair share of ports. You could pick any given game in the series and thumb your finger down a list of ports. Some more than others, of course, but those older games in particular have seen some very interesting rereleases. While most Resident Evil ports (especially these days) are completely uniform across the board, the industry was fairly different back in the day....

Assassin’s Creed Origins represented a turning point for the Assassin’s Creed series. A departure from the style of gameplay that the franchise had become known for, 2017’s Origins puts players in the shoes of Bayek of Siwa; a Medjay of Ancient Egypt and a proto-assassin doing assassin-like things before the Brotherhood had even been established. An Ancient Egyptian sheriff of sorts, Bayek travels far and wide to avenge his son’s death at the collective hands of the Order of the Ancients, a mysterious and dangerous collective of proto-templars....

When the Nintendo 64 dropped way back in 1996 I don’t think anybody, including Nintendo, knew it would be such an instrumental release in the video game world. The last major console to use a cartridge to store information, the 64 was widely championed by critics upon its release and lapped up by fans. What made the Nintendo 64 stand head and shoulders above the competition was the games released specifically for the system....

Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery allows players to live out every 11-year-old millennial’s fantasy: to get their letter of acceptance to Hogwarts. While Hogwarts Mystery offers the chance to do exactly what fans of the series dream of being able to do — choose a wand, learn spells and potions, fly on broomsticks — the game has come under scrutiny for its pay-to-play model and scarcity of resources. However, savvy players have found ways to get around the game’s paywall and long wait times to replenish energy....

The Final Fantasy series has always attempted to push the boundaries in terms of content. This has only led to the development cycle of each game growing longer, as the process to create cutting-edge graphics becomes more difficult. The other reason why the Final Fantasy series has pumped out some sub-par entries over the past ten years is due to problems on the management level, which left games like Final Fantasy XIII being made without a concrete direction and why Final Fantasy XV was just a repurposed spinoff game that spent over a decade in various forms of development....

The 2020 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony has been rescheduled for Saturday, Nov. 7. The show will be broadcast live from the Public Auditorium in Cleveland, Ohio, starting at 8:00 p.m. on HBO. It’s a year of firsts for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Four of the inductees were on the ballot for the first time. The inductions and the jams will be kicked out live for the first time in the history of the ceremony....

PlayStation fans have always had good humor about their favorite video games. These hilarious comic artists have captured the magic of PlayStation in these pictures. Ranging from Metal Gear Solid to classic platforming franchises like Crash and Spyro, these artists have an ahem Knack for making us laugh at video game logic. Of course, a lot of this is owed to how fantastic the franchises are, to begin with — if we didn’t love them so much, we wouldn’t be able to laugh at how funny this stuff is....

So by this point, the franchise barely needs explaining unless you were born yesterday or have been living under a rock for the last 20 years. Pokémon is a worldwide phenomenon and has been since the release of Pokémon Red and Green in Japan back in 1996. These games would soon become Pokémon Red and Blue when they were released in the United States in 1998, with updated character sprites and some bug fixes, and they took the world by storm, spawning the beloved anime of the same name, 802 Pokémon on the ever-expanding roster, and currently 20 movies under its belt....

James is probably near the top of most lovable villains. From his cross-dressing trend to his goofy personality, all these quirks have made him beloved by the Pokémon fandom. Having known him from the beginning of the show till now, it can easy to forget he plays a villain role. We’ve seen that he loves his Pokémon to the point where some fans even think he would make a better protagonist than Ash....

During its Realms Deep presentation today, 3D Realms has announced Phantom Fury — a new game and chapter in the Ion Fury legacy. If you’re wondering if it’s a prequel or a sequel, the answer is yes. Phantom Fury takes place after the events of Ion Fury, but before Bombshell — a game that didn’t quite hit the mark like its prequel. Shelly “Bombshell” Harrison does indeed return to blast more baddies....

Hardcore RPG aficionados might find themselves a little dismayed over what would seem to be an underwhelming selection on the Xbox One. After all, it is a console more associated with high octane action-adventure titles, first-person shooters, and casual offerings that don’t satisfy the need for depth and complexity that most RPG fans crave. But they definitely aren’t entirely absent, of that much you can rest entirely assured. In fact, after just a little bit of in-depth digging through the catalog, there are actually plenty of engrossing and immersive bits of RPG goodness to be had....

We might have had two quality first-person horror games by now had Konami not decided to cancel Silent Hills. Fortunately, we got Resident Evil 7: Biohazard to fill in on this loss, as the game was very close to how P.T. (the teaser for Silent Hills) had been, and was met with a positive reception. This has opened up discussions over which game managed to be the better experience, but we believe both of them were just as good....

The story of Fallout 4 takes place in a world similar to ours, but one that has noticeable differences in its history. This alternate timeline diverged from ours sometime after 1945, but even with all the technological and political changes, there are some things that are true to real life. Take Boston for example. The game developers did a fantastic job recreating this historic city in Fallout 4 to give it justice....

Since Minecraft is all about survival, fans create strong armor, enchanted weapons, and secure bases to better their defense mechanisms. These safety precautions are useful when it’s nighttime, that’s when the creepy crawlies come out, including Zombies and Creepers. For players that want a little more protection from their enemies, here are seven underground base ideas and designs for Minecraft. The Survival Bunker Underground Base Ideas & Designs for Minecraft A classic survival bunker is a way to go when defending yourself against the monsters and creatures of Minecraft....

So you want to enter the world of Dungeons & Dragons? To forge ahead on epic adventures and take on an exciting new life. Or perhaps to be a crazed murderhobo and leave massive fires in your wake as you scourge the kingdom in search of loot. Whatever you can think of in the game of D&D, you can do. Provided, of course, everyone else at the table is cool with it....
