The launch of Kaos Studios’ pull-no-punches shooter Homefront is only a few short days away, so to give players one more taste of the kind of emotion and anger that will fuel the game’s narrative, they’ve released what may be the best trailer for the game yet. Homefront’s previous story trailers showed just how integral the potential future plot would be to the moment-to-moment action, but the launch trailer’s gameplay and music are finally getting the adrenaline flowing, by injecting a little bit of classic Hollywood into the action....

2011 is quickly becoming the year of the indie developer. While there are strong AAA titles due out this year, it’s the smaller titles that are really making a splash. One of the most noteworthy of these indie titles is Minecraft, which became an over-night success, wowing gamers with its innovative gameplay. Soon though, gamers will be able to take their mining addiction on the go. While Minecraft calls the PC and Mac its home, it will soon be making its way over to mobile devices....

One of the many interesting Nintendo 3DS games previewed at Nintendo World in Japan is Resident Evil: Revelations. It won’t be among the 3DS launch titles, but it nonetheless appears to deliver graphically and technically, as evidenced by the latest footage of the game in action. First off, it must be made clear that the build of RE: Revelations made available to attendees at the show was a special one called Resident Evil: Revelations Pilot Edition, which is probably a fancy way of saying “demo build....

“The Old Guard 2” is the much anticipated sequel to Netflix’s action packed adventure, “The Old Guard”.

For any actor, choosing a film role must be a true leap of faith.

This list, then, is devoted to 10 actors and a few of their oddest career choices. Not all of them are necessarily bad films, but the appearance of such esteemed actors in them most definitely is…...

Evolution in the Pokémon games is often seen as a cut-and-dried affair: when they evolve, they get stronger. When Machop evolves, for instance, it becomes several feet taller and infinitely more muscular. When Machoke evolves, in turn, it actually develops two more arms for twice the punching prowess. You can see where we’re going with this. Pokémon do receive stat buffs on evolving, and often super significant ones. Does this mean that they’re always more effective in battle than they were in their previous form, though?...

A staple of Weekly Shōnen Jump during the ’80s and ’90s, Akira Toriyama’s Dragon Ball debuted in 1984. Putting aside the franchise’s recent revival, the manga originally ended in 1995, but video game developers and publishers could not resist the urge to grab a piece of that Goku pie. By 1986, the manga earned its first adaptation in the form of a shoot ’em up called Dragon Ball: Dragon Daihikyō for the Super Cassette Vision....

When hearing the word Nintendo, video games and family comes to mind. The company came into popularity when it released the Famicom in 1983. Nintendo saved the world from the crazy video game recession—a scrambled of too many consoles and computers. But Nintendo wasn’t always known for games as it initially built and invested in some oddities. Nintendo began as a card company in 1889, creating cards for a Japanese game....

We’ve all had moments where we played scary video games in the dark, as it made them way scarier.

There are fans of superheroes, and then there are mega fans of superheroes. What sets the two apart? One thing is their level of dedication to the superhero or superheroes that they idolize. It isn’t enough for someone to say they are a fan of Batman or Iron Man, they have to show it as well. And the best way for any fan to show it is through collectibles. Comic books, action figures, posters, lunchboxes… a collectible can be almost anything....

With every passing day, more and more of the technology created by Microsoft for their gaming device Kinect is broken down and reconstructed in new ways that might very well change the future of open-source technology.

Pokémon has been one of gaming’s top icons for 20 years now, starting as a game and spreading to a couple of animated television shows and several volumes of manga. It has been one of the most influential franchises of this generation. Doubt me? Think back to the hype surrounded by Pokémon Go!

Star Wars Squadrons Star Wars Day 2022 – May The Fourth Some of the most iconic Star Wars moments of all time take place in the cockpits.

Our New York Comic Con countdown of comic videogames we need to see continues to get shorter. With our #7 pick and #6 pick already down, we move on to our #5. Open world environments have been growing in number ever since the processing power of consoles allowed for game developers to create a world almost as large as they could imagine. Creating a world that feels as if it is a living and breathing entity is one of the most difficult goals in modern gaming....

Dormant for nearly a decade, the Fable series has traditionally been renowned as one of Microsoft’s flagship first-party titans. First debuting on the original Xbox in 2004, Fable has a long and storied history of development and announcement rumors, and this applies directly to the Fable game that may be in development. If the rumor is accurate, then it’s the perfect opportunity for a resurrection on the Xbox Series X....

One of the best deals in gaming, Vampire Survivors, has gotten even bigger. The $3 USD rogue-lite by developer poncle has been receiving updates for weeks, bringing in more maps and characters to play.

Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown landed on consoles and PC last week, promising stunning visuals and enjoyable sky-set skirmishes to all who seek it out (as well as offering the franchise’s first flight into VR). None of us could have guessed, though, that a still image of a dog – one with a sad real-life backstory – would be one of the game’s biggest talking points. Nonetheless, here we are in a world where perhaps the most screen-grabbed moment from Ace Combat 7 is a segment that sees an unmoving photograph of a dog spliced into an otherwise-fully-animated dialogue scene....
