[Update: the 1.06 update has gone live and is available right now. Check out the full details of the Gran Turismo 5 1.06 Update here.] When Gran Turismo 5 game designer Kazunori Yamauchi tweets, we all listen. Yesterday, he did just that and gave all GT5 fans even more reason to never stop playing the game. Yamauchi tweeted that Gran Turismo Anywhere would be releasing sometime “early February,” in the form of a software update....

The original Tomb Raider released within months of Nintendo’s Super Mario 64. The two of them, in one way or another, laid the groundwork for nearly all the 3D games that have been released in the fourteen years since. Now, on the eve of Lara’s latest re-invention, Square Enix has released a compilation of her most recent console adventures, exclusively for the PlayStation 3. Is the Tomb Raider Trilogy a reminder of the enduring strength of the series’ design, or a quick cash grab in advance of the anticipated Tomb Raider reboot?...

The Dragon Age series has a diverse cast of characters, where a cosplayer has a lot of designs and personalities to choose from. Men, women, LGBT characters, mages, warriors, spirits, rogues, elves, dwarves, qunari, Dragon Age has it all for fantasy cosplayers in just the span of three main games. We scoured the internet and found ten Dragon Age cosplays we thought were worth sharing. We linked the cosplayers and photographers when we could find them, so please check out their pages!...

The Borderlands community is a ravenously passionate fan base. For further evidence, just take a look at the thunderous reaction to the third game’s announcement earlier this year. With Borderlands 3’s recent release, lovers of the series have been diving into their favorite cartoonish world once again. With legions of dedicated fans surely comes an abundance of memes and Borderlands players have delivered in full force. The following list will showcase ten hilarious memes pertaining to the third numbered entry....

Fire Emblem: Three Houses has a very detailed story with several outcomes and paths for your character to follow. These include the underlying themes in the main story as well as the backstories of the varied cast of supporting characters. Your choices affect how the supporters interact with each other and with you. All of these create chances to hear and see dialogue where the characters reveal things about themselves. Not to mention, with the possibility that some of the characters can die, you might never get the chance to hear their tale....

Platinum Games. The Guns-for-Hire Game Developers who have been in the industry for decades. They’ve had a hand in amazing successes like Nier: Automata, and are also the ones behind some of the biggest flops such as The Wonderful 101 (though that was undeserved). But, through it all, they’ve always maintained their reputation as the forefront company to hire in order to make an action-packed, combat-heavy, totally bombastic title. Astral Chain is their newest release and it truly is a celebration of everything they’ve made previously....

Pokemon Sword & Shield hit the ground running. While more than 6 million Pokemon trainers ventured through the Galar region, many forgot about the charming, elaborate original games. But back in the late ’90s and early 2000s, young gamers were seemingly consumed by the feverishly addictive Red & Blue. Fans spent countless hours exploring every nook and cranny of the Kanto region. They caught dozens upon dozens of Pokemon and even found a number of bizarre glitches and easter eggs....

There’s something about horror games that makes it more compelling to play than your usual adventure or shooting games. Maybe it’s the simple elements like the excitement of opening mystery doors in a creepy hallway or shooting the brains out of anyone who jump scares you (even allies). Even if you don’t admit it, there’s certainly been a horror game that kept you awake all night, not just in the sense of playing it, but also by the fact that it got into your head and now… you can’t sleep....

The next-generation of console gaming is right around the corner and the speculation is hitting a strong wave of rumors, leaks, and optimism. Technology evolves and iterates at such an alarming rate that console gaming is always in a tough space in terms of when a new generation should come about. We saw major platform holders release mid-generation upgrades in the PlayStation 4 Pro as well as the Xbox One X in hopes of increasing the time both developers and gamers have to spend on this current generation....

There has been a lot of Star Wars merchandise since the debut of the original Star Wars, later renamed Episode IV: A New Hope. Everything from toys, shirts, novelty toilet paper, and probably even sex toys have carried the name of the movie set a long, long time ago. Among the deluge of (mostly) crap are video games. Star Wars is no stranger to video games, though it’s certainly more familiar with the crap side of gaming....

When it comes to gaming, there are some games that have become classics. We have seen those games that have become so iconic and famous that practically anyone will recognize them. Even if you weren’t a huge gamer, you would probably recognize characters from some classic games. One of my favorite classic series is the Street Fighter series. They’re such amazing fighter games that are both fun and challenging. I also loved any of the 2D Zelda games....

“Hey, did you hear about the secret code where Mario teleports into Sonic’s world, and the two of them have an awesome fight in front of the Mortal Kombat pit stage?” If you were a child of the early 90s, you probably ran across one of these “rumors” that passed around the playground or school concerning the hottest video game at the time. With the internet now an integral part of our lives, it doesn’t take long for someone to unearth all the mysteries surrounding the latest video games, eliminating the time wasted testing out every person’s made up cheat codes (especially in the case of the more “infamous” rumors surrounding certain titles… who knows how many people had tried to crack Tomb Raider in order to reveal a side of Lara Croft that was never meant to be seen?...

The Fallout series tells the story of post-apocalyptic America. The country barely managed to survive after the Great War. Many managed to take refuge in underground vaults, but everyone and everything on the surface wasn’t as lucky. Gamers got a glimpse of what life was like on the West Coast. Thanks to the efforts of the Vault Dweller and his descendant, the Chosen One, the citizens of the Western region slowly rebuilt over the past 200 years....

For a game like Wordle, the more accurate you are at the initial stages, the more likely you will be able to figure out the right answer for the day in fewer attempts, especially if we are talking about words that are very specific. In this guide, we go through all of the 5-letter words starting with AS to give you a good idea of where to start, and keep that streak of yours going strong....

The surprise launch of Apex: Legends a few weeks ago caught everyone off guard. Even with almost no marketing before hand, Apex has gathered a huge following rather quickly and shaken the battle-royale genre up in a big way. Like the rest of you, I have been playing Apex alone and with friends as much as I can. Although I’m not the best player out there, I can still spot some pretty simple mistakes from some newer players....

The epistolary novel—that is, a story told through letters—dates back all the way to the 1400s in the earliest versions of the form, counting Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, Bram Stoker’s Dracula, and Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice as famous examples. But what about the first time travel narrative told through correspondence? Could it have begun with a short story in 1959—or might one theorize that the epistolary time travel story will exist, has always existed, throughout the timestream?...

Registered for guaranteed access to the Rainbow Six Siege beta but still haven’t received your download code? You aren’t alone. Both Reddit and Ubisoft’s forums are filled with users frustrated with the way the publisher has handled access to the beta, which has seen pre-order customers and players with guaranteed access forced to wait for a download code long after the beta has started. But you shouldn’t have to wait too much longer, community developer Chase Straight says....

Developed by Yostar, best known for Arknights and Azur Lane, Aether Gazer is an upcoming free-to-play mobile ARPG with a futuristic and dystopian twist.

Agents of Mayhem now has an official release date of August 18 2017. The North American release date is August 15.

The titular Agents are a group of mercenaries living off the grid in Seoul. There are 12 in total, but you pick three for each mission and can switch between them as you feel like it....

This All American review contains spoilers. All American Season 2, Episode 5 You know what? I think All American Season 2 Episode 5: “Bring the Pain,” might be my favorite episode of this season so far. Don’t sleep on this show because it’s more than just your average high school drama and some football. So much goes on in this episode and everyone is feeling the pain. The James family is reeling from the aftermath of Corey’s (Chad L....
