With the recent Pokemon-centric Nintendo Direct, now seems like a better time than ever to remind people that Game Freak is a video game developer. They aren’t soul-bound to Pokemon and they had a long-established career before the monster-collecting franchise took off. That said, most of their previous games are niche titles that sold decently but not near as much as that fat yellow mouse. People love their older works, well, mostly....
The love of easter eggs in video games has nothing to do with a giant bunny, but rather the exploration and wonder of what you find. Many video games love to reference popular culture as a nod or homage because the game developers themselves are also fans. Video games just happen to be the latest medium to included references to popular culture. Finding easter eggs in beloved game franchises are always nice and adds fun to the game overall....
The first kids’ meal at a fast food restaurant came in 1973 at an unlikely place—Burger Chef. Their “Funmeal” may have also been the first to give small toys to kids as part of these meals. But it was McDonald’s and their Happy Meal that made the trend of giving out cheap plastic to children that started an international movement. Now, kids’ meals at fast food chains are synonymous with toys of all shapes, sizes, and varieties....
In anime, you get a wide variety of female characters. Some are tough, some are gentle, some are sweet, some are cruel, some are calm, some are annoying, and the list goes on. But we know that no matter what, many of these awesome women are sure to be memorable. Probably all of my favorite anime female characters are from Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood. They’re all just so awesome and for many different reasons....
There have been dozens of Star Wars games over the years, but just like the movies themselves, some are remembered much more fondly than others. For every Star Wars game as beloved as The Empire Strikes Back, there’s a half-dozen that are as hated as much as The Phantom Menace or as divisive as The Last Jedi. Then there are those all-time classics, like Knights of the Old Republic, which some fans claim to be better than the entire film saga....
For kids who grew up in the 90s (and yes, I realize how annoying this article already sounds by starting with talking about “90s kids”), we were subjected to massive growth in what technology was capable of. From computers to phones to film effects, everything advanced at a lightning quick pace. And one of the most influential leaps forward was 3D gaming. While the N64 wasn’t the first video game console to give the world 3D games, it was the first time players were able to experience Mario, Link, and the world of Pokémon in a wholly 3D space....
Bethesda is no stranger to making massive RPG games chock-full of great content, and Fallout 4 is no exception. With a huge map to explore, multiple side quests, companions to befriend (or betray), settlements to save, various random encounters to stumble upon, and for the really brave, a Survival mode that disables the ability to fast travel around the Commonwealth, Fallout 4 gives players a seemingly endless source of fun activities that will keep them entertained and coming back for more even years after the game’s initial release in 2015....
Bandai Namco has released a half an hour video showing off some gameplay of Ni No Kuni II: Revenant Kingdom. The walkthrough demo showcases the two areas that some lucky folk were able to play during last month’s E3. The lengthy video will give you more info on some of the characters you’ll encounter during the game, as well as how this sequel differs to the PS3 original. If you’ve seen a trailer for Revenant Kingdom, I’m sure you’ve been anticipating a beautiful looking title, so it’s good to see it in full flow here....
It’s really no secret that free games can be extremely hit or miss. For one thing… well, they’re free, which often suggests a significant lack of quality. But that’s not to say that all aren’t worth your time. In fact, some are surprisingly fun, provided you keep your expectations in check. Sure, they won’t be The Last of Us or anything, but then again, you don’t expect that level of quality from a free game....
Wired Productions and LKA.it have announced that 25% of sales of The Town of Light will go towards funding and supporting mental health charities such as Take This, Inc. This promotion covers the sales of digital copies between August 16 and September 6, and marks the first activity in a year long campaign to raise awareness and bring attention to the importance of mental health. The proceeds from this campaign will help to fund vital services offered by Take This, Inc....
Capcom’s Kazunori Kadoi has said it ‘wouldn’t be laughable’ to remake 2002’s critically acclaimed Resident Evil, which itself is a remake of the original 1996 PlayStation version of the title. Speaking with Game Informer, Kadoi-san, who is directing next year’s Resident Evil 2 remake, suggested that enough time has passed to overhaul the survival horror classic, although said a revamp of Sweet Home (the game that inspired Resi in the first place) isn’t on the cards....
Call of Duty: Warzone Season Three Reloaded has introduced some new content for fans to enjoy. This includes the changes to the Verdansk ’84 map, ’80s action heroes joining the team, and more. Also, players have been getting stuck into the Power Grab limited-time mode which brings a new experience to Warzone. The limited-time mode removes traditional aspects of Warzone such as the Gulag. Instead, players are tasked with collecting tags and respawn tokens....
It’s not completely unusual for games to have some product placement. Hell, take a gander at any modern racing game and you may spot billboards for oil companies. Sports games frequently include product placement ranging from drinks to Domino’s. But, arguably, those ads can add to the realism and match that of their real-world counterparts. It’s a different story with games of other genres, however. The original Alan Wake, for example, was full of abrupt advertisements for products like Energizer and Verizon....
Gotham Knights is upon us, Bat-family. And while it may not offer the same sort of Arkham-like feel as fans had been hoping for, some of the elements from the past still shine through. That is particularly true when it comes to collectable side activities. Instead of the Riddler trophies of old, we’re going to walk you through all batarang locations in Gotham Knights. Gotham Knights Batarang Guide There are 60 batarangs in total for players to find, stretching from North Gotham to New Gotham and everything else along the way....

Nothing beats a good ol’ tower defense game. Not only is it super fun strategising and placing your defensive units as waves upon waves of pesky monsters attempt to wreak havoc on your base, but it also runs the gamut between relaxing and chill and nail-bitingly intense all at the same time. If you’re here, you’re likely pondering one very specific question: What are all the Ultimate Tower Defense codes in Roblox at the moment?...

Today, The Elder Scrolls series is one of the big dogs of the Western RPG genre, thanks to the 1,2,3 punch of Morrowind, Oblivion, and Skyrim. But like many big dogs, the series didn’t start at the top. The first Elder Scrolls game, Arena, was far from the in-depth open world adventures gamers have come to expect from Bethesda. But it’s fascinating piece of gaming history in its own right, and the Elder Scrolls’ evolution from Arena to Skyrim is filled with amusing and intriguing anecdotes....
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild was one of the best and most popular games in recent memory, and fans are still finding new things to love about it. However, like any game, there are still going to be things that don’t quite make sense and often have some hilarious implications. One such thing is the game’s economy. Like other similar titles, Breath of the Wildfeatures shops and vendors that allow the player to purchase and sell items....
If there is one thing gamers love, it’s having the best of both worlds. There are plenty of amazing single-player-only games and multiplayer-only games out on the market. But both of these always make us wonder what could have been if the game had both modes. While multiplayer modes tacked onto single-player games tend to not always been great, tons of multiplayer games have the potential for great single-player campaigns based on their lore and gameplay mechanics....
