When Gearbox first surprised fans at PAX by not only announcing that they would be releasing Duke Nukem Forever on all major platforms, but also giving players a chance to get hands-on with what they’ve developed so far, it was clear that fans had something to look forward to.

Anyone who has spent a few minutes trying to think up a perfect multiplayer shooter map knows just how complex and difficult a challenge it is. Balancing open spaces, tight quarters, weapon drops, spawn points and vehicle locations is a science, and nobody has done it better than Bungie. Halo’s multiplayer has long been hailed as one of the best-designed of its type, so 343 Industries and Certain Affinity have some mighty big shoes to fill with their latest expansion to Halo: Reach....

Twin-Stick shooters have been quite popular for the past few years, with classic games like Super Stardust HD and Geometry Wars 2 leading the way. Sadly, dragons have been surprisingly absent from the genre, despite the scaled beasts seeming to be a perfect fit. HOARD will attempt to change that by bringing its dragon-based combat to the PlayStation Network on November 2, 2010. Developed by Big Sandwich Games, HOARD is a dual stick action-strategy game where up to four players can take to the skies as mischievous dragons who just wanna have a little fun at the expense of the measly humans....

An ending is never truly an ending—it’s just somewhere that feels like the best place to leave off; and in a story, sometimes the ending is the best part. When we’re pages deep into a great story, or hours into a fantastic game, a great ending is almost always needed, as it’s the culmination of the time we’ve spent in the story. While I truly do believe that in an adventure sometimes the fun part is more so the ride, rather than the destination, a good ending certainly makes the adventure feel like it meant so much more....

One minute Mario will be stopping viruses as a doctor in the appropriately titled Dr. Mario using Tetris-inspired gameplay and the next he’ll be participating in a grand RPG adventure like in Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars....

I know that Nintendo was my first introduction into video games, and it’s still the gaming company I’m the most familiar with....

Currently hovering around an average score of 80% on Metacritic, Tom Clancy’s The Division 2 is back to lead players on a loot-filled romp through the war-torn remains of Washington D.C. If pre-orders are anything to go by, Ubisoft’s third-person shooter should be able to avoid experiencing the same fate as Electronic Arts’ Anthem. Launching with little in the way of mission or loot variety, 2016’s original left a rather uneven initial impression....

The age of the JRPG might be declining in the modern age. It’s a statement that will ruffle the feathers of many old-school gamers with fond memories of playing their favorite Squaresoft games on the PlayStation, but it’s a statement that does hold a fair bit of validity. With the fast-paced nature in which the video game industry has evolved over time, one must say that JRPGs need to evolve if they wish to stay relevant in the modern day-and-age....
