Last year, Riverdale staged Carrie: The Musical in a very special episode that was part Glee and part horror hellstorm. It is the latest example of how Stephen King’s first novel continues to resonate throughout the pop culture landscape. The reasoning for this is simple: Carrie is a universally relatable story about outsiders that has much to say about topics like bullying, revenge, teen angst, religion, and telekinetic ass-kicking. (Problems that are as old as time… well, maybe not that last one)....

It’s been a while since we’ve last heard from Abbey Games, the Netherlands-based studio which crafted the delightful Reus and Renowned Explorers. Both games have had both a strong fan following and community support. In the case of Renowned Explorers, fans were kept up to date with weekly community challenges. We haven’t heard any new developments since they last tried to pull our leg with an April Fools’ joke. Fortunately, it seems Abbey Games have been quite busy lately developing their new title — Godhood....

To a non-gamer, the situation with Activision may seem to be an overwhelmingly positive one.

Industry enthusiasts are likely aware that Jason West and Vincent Zampella, the creators of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare have been in the midst of a legal battle with Activision over reported foul play and breach of contract for almost a year now....

EA Sports have kept a pretty tight lid on FIFA 12 so far, with only one official release of information for the console versions and one for the 3DS. However, all that changed earlier today when a leaked FIFA 12 video surfaced on YouTube - containing a demonstration reel that presents a plethora of new features which are sure to excite the fans. From demonstrating the new and gorgeous looking “Impact Engine” to showcasing tactical turning maneuvers that players will be able to pull-off in tight spots, the video presents a mix of both simplified 3D non-textured players, demonstrating the basics, and some in-game footage that runs very smoothly....

Sonic Frontiers director Morio Kishimoto has explained what the game’s “Open Zone” structure really means. Speaking to IGN, Kishimoto’s comments somewhat clarify what separates Sonic Frontiers from open-world games. “Level-based platformers often have a world map. Our Open Zone is a world map, only we’ve made it entirely playable,” said Kishimoto. “A playable world map that includes stage-like elements is something that hasn’t really been done before, so we had to come up with a new name....

It may be the season of good will but for Harmonix and Viacom, the new year will bring more than a change of calendar. The two companies have confirmed the sale of Harmonix and thus the end of the pair’s co-existence in the video games market. The sale will see Harmonix become an independent studio, owned by investment firm Columbus Nova with Viacom receiving an estimated $200 million in the deal....

The Nintendo Switch has delighted fans with fantastic games such as Super Mario Odyssey, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. While these titles and others have been what has drawn many people to the portable console, the Switch has an underrated selection of free and free to play games available for gamers in its online store. The Switch features many of the popular free to play games on its platform as well as some notable exclusives....

Despite being over a decade old, Bethesda’s Fallout 3 is still a title that many point to as one of the best games of all time. Released in 2008, the game was a radical change to the top-down RPG that the Fallout franchise has become known for. Besides the upgraded graphics, Fallout became faster and for lack of a better term, became much more epic. The series would never be the same again – for better or for worse depending on the fan that you ask....

As we’ve discussed time and time again, not all Pokémon are created equally. While all dogs may in fact, be good dogs, not all Pokémon are good Pokémon. Well… design-wise anyway. Generation Six introduced the smallest batch of new Pokémon that we’ve ever seen to the series. At the same time, it also produced one of the most controversial sets since Generation One. While some swear by Greninja, we’re all okay if Slurpuff would go away....

Just a little over a week is left until WWE 2K20 is released, bringing back wrestling favorites and legends like Hulk Hogan and Chyna. However, there will no doubt be quite a few omissions from the roster that won’t go down well with fans with Mr. Perfect, Sid Vicious, Lex Luger, DDP, and Vader already being confirmed as being missing from this year’s roster. Thankfully, the WWE games have given players a powerful set of tools to create their own characters and better still, recreate their favorite wrestlers that are either missing from the roster or in different promotions....

It’s been nearly six years since the Xbox One brought Microsoft’s gaming platform into the current generation, and in that time a lot of popular games have come to the platform. And it turns out a lot of these games have managed to become its best-selling games, according to NPD analyst Mat Piscatella this past week. Having shared NPD’s lists of the best-selling PlayStation 4 games and exclusives, Piscatella did the same for the Xbox One to commemorate Microsoft’s recent Inside Xbox livestream....

Lightsabers are arguably the most iconic symbol within pop culture today. Many games, movies, and TV shows have tried to replicate this item and what it stands for. But lightsabers are just a part of what makes Star Wars special. Force powers, science fiction technology, and dozens of alien races are also part of this universe. While most games capitalize on lightsabers, some go against the obvious trend. For this list, we take a list at games that have little to no focus on lightsabers, which means games like Battlefront and Fallen Order won’t be on this list....

It’s coming up to six years since we left Joel and Ellie, in that morally ambiguous ending to The Last of Us. But now it’s been over two years since its sequel was announced at the PlayStation Experience event in 2016, and we’re getting impatient. In fact The Last of Us Part II was crowned “Most Wanted Game” at the 2018 Golden Joystick Awards, and “Most Anticipated Game” at the Gamer’s Choice Awards....

Steve Jackson is an American game maker who’s been a part of many RPGs, board games, and card games. Steve Jackson is commonly confused for another Steve Jackson from Britain who is an author and video game designer. This had led to him being attributed as creator or designer for his British counterpart’s works, leading to some confusion on what projects he’s been a part of when his name appears....

Some would argue that video games are the greatest inventions of mankind. And in a certain sense of thinking, they are correct. Games provide us all with an escape from the worries of the real world and we, being humans, seek out games that offer us that relief for extended periods. That is why hundreds of gaming titles out there offer gameplay of hundred hours and more. But what about the opposite side of the coin; are there any games out there that exclude any fluff, leaving only pith for gamers to enjoy?...

The best thing about Control, and all of Remedy’s games really, is its story. No, it doesn’t make the least bit of sense, but that is okay. We come for the high-minded visual splendor and not logical answers. Still, for those curious, we did come up with ten questions that make less sense than most of the mumbo jumbo in the game. As a fair warning this article, of course, contains spoilers, but nothing about the ending....
