There are very few games that you can say are tailor-made for you. For me, that game is L.A. Noire and unfortunately, for all of us, it has been delayed until some time in first half of 2011. That’s right, if you were hoping to get duke it out with your friends wearing pinstripes and a fedora, you’re going to have to wait until some time between January 1st and June 31st 2011....
It’s funny to think that the wildly popular Sony PlayStation brand exists due in part to a falling out with gaming giant Nintendo. Once upon a time, the two companies actually planned to work together on a system. When this fell apart, Sony went out on their own to create a gaming system, and have since become one of Nintendo’s biggest rivals. The two companies have a long history together, and today we’re going to be taking a look at how the companies could grow by taking cues from one another....
Borderlands 3 has been out for a solid couple of days now and we’ve been pretty much glued to it from the release. The game is just pure fun! It’s more of the same Vault Hunting content people know and love, just updated for the modern age. The team at 2K and Gearbox have really put the effort in to update the OG looter shooter to the standards of the present day....
Unlike movies, video games can get far into production before the plug is unceremoniously pulled for a variety of reasons. Maybe the progress was not promising, the studio ran out of money, or development hit some unforeseen snags. The following ten games were canceled for reasons far stranger. It is impossible to say if they would have been great works had they seen the light of day, but at least they made the history books for the bizarre stories of their demises....
There are conspiracy theories for anything you can imagine. As long as you aren’t wearing a tinfoil hat and yelling that the government is tracking you through radio waves, it’s fine to enjoy them every once and a while. When I play a video game, I love getting into the nitty-gritty details of the plot and that one thing a character said. I like reading tumblr posts about someone extrapolating an entire backstory for a character in just a single sentence....
When you mention the GameCube’s hardware or graphics, many Nintendo fans hearken back to Space World, a now-defunct E3-like event that featured Nintendo-exclusive showings. Hype of “Project Dolphin,” as it was called, reached astronomical levels when the company showcased a tech demo featuring flashy looking Link and Ganondorf character models sparring. The next generation had officially arrived. Gone were the days of N64-style jaggies, restrictive cartridges, and muddled resolutions. The results fell a bit shy from where many of our imaginations carried us at the time....
Teen Titans was a great show that took all of our favorite teen heroes and put them together, and the results were amazing. The series was awesome at combining serious and intense story arcs with fun and crazy comedy. It also did a great job of blending American animation with the stylistic Japanese animation style. It ended up becoming a very popular show with millions of fans. Which is why it was so tragic when the final season got canceled for no really good reason (some say it was due to lack of toy sales, while others say it was because the female fan base was getting too big, which wasn’t fitting their marketing strategy)....
Respawn Entertainment broke into the battle royale scene with their release of Apex Legends in February. The release came out of nowhere and, with the help of popular streamers and a high-quality product, it’s quickly built a huge player base across the globe. The game features characters with unique abilities that offer a variation in gameplay from match to match. These characters are the legends from the title of the game and each has vibrant a vibrant personality that makes them feel like real individuals in the world that Respawn created in their first two Titanfall titles....
It’s been over a decade since gamers first discovered the Capital Wasteland in Bethesda’s Fallout 3. From the first moment gamers emerged from Vault 101 and began the quest to locate their missing father, gamers have spent the last decade going through each and every nook and cranny in the open-world game. Dodging super mutants, feral ghouls, and enemy raiders, gamers have traveled across the vast majority of the apocalyptic ruins of Washington DC, in an alternate future where 50s-era pop culture and design survived but futuristic technology reigned supreme....
The Nintendo 64 era was one of, if not, the most revolutionary era in gaming. It was a generation where gaming systems could fully render 3D models. Thus, 3D video games became a reality and it made a major impact on the industry. Games that you loved in the past would look completely new and are re-imagined in a whole new way. Some of gaming’s greatest games came out in that era on Nintendo 64 as well as the PlayStation....
The video game controller is perhaps the most overlooked and underrated pieces of hardware in the entire industry. Taken for granted by all of us, it is the literal link between the medium we love to consume and our physical ability to be able to control said medium. In essence, without our controllers, pads and joysticks, we cannot interact with the software that makes the console or PC worth buying in the first place....
For many reasons, the flat-out $60 video game is becoming a thing of the past. Among the inspirations for this shift are the consumers who expect more value for their dollar and the companies that want to squeeze every penny out of an individual title. It’s not enough to just release a game anymore; more and more successful titles experiment with season passes, live service DLC, and free-to-play. Free-to-play, in particular, seems to be enticing to both gamer and businessman alike....
In this guide, we’ll be running you through all 5 letter words starting with AP to help you crack the answer to today’s word-based brainteaser. When you’re playing Wordle, you may find that you’ve got a couple of letters in the correct position, but then have absolutely no idea what the word could possibly be after that.

For a game like Wordle, the sooner you can discern the letters that make up the word of the day, the more likely you will be able to figure out the right answer 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 MA to give you a good idea of where to start, and keep that streak of yours going strong....
Are you looking at the fresh Wordle puzzle for the day and feeling unsure of how to complete the puzzle? As a game that requires players to have a good grasp of the English language, Wordle is designed so that random answers just do not make the cut, thus it is important to know what words you can use to narrow down the field when it comes to the right answer....
Doom solidified its legendary status immediately upon release in 1993. The fast-paced shooter was unlike anything gaming had seen before. Its future was uncertain after 2004’s Doom 3, and the fourth game languished in development for almost a decade before reemerging as 2016’s Doom. The reboot was a smashing success, retaining and updating everything people loved about the classic shooter for modern times. Since the highly venerated comeback, fans have been patiently awaiting the next game in the series....
Fans of The Walking Dead have had to say a lot of goodbyes recently. The fall of Telltale games almost led to an abrupt farewell for Clementine. But then enough funding was secured to just barely finish her story, albeit in a bittersweet manner. Show viewers lost Rick Grimes very abruptly, then the same thing happened to comics readers when that suddenly wrapped up as well. All seems pretty bleak, as the series is known to be....
The Blair Witch Project (1999) movie is a horror flick and a cult-classic. Its found footage format led many people to believe that what they saw was real. Eventually, most people found out that the movie is not based on actual events. Fast forward to now, 20 years later, a Blair Witch game is set to release on August 30, 2019—and we couldn’t be more ecstatic. The trailer for the upcoming Blair Witch game looks promising....
It sounds like a new entry in WW2 shooter series Brothers in Arms may be in the works at Gearbox. The information comes from comments made by the studio’s CEO Randy Pitchford in the AIAS Game Maker’s Podcast. As per PC Gamer, the remarks were actually made in April but only recently uploaded to the podcast’s YouTube channel. In it, Insomniac Games CEO Ted Price chats to Pitchford about the much-maligned Aliens: Colonial Marines....
Red Faction: Armageddon may have suffered a very slight delay, but the demo will be available tomorrow, and the full game is not far off. THQ is doing its part to keep interest in Armageddon high by producing a number of videos and releasing some new screenshots. Red Faction: Armageddon has several retailer specific pre-order bonuses, but for many people the choice will boil down to two options: The Commando Pack, available exclusively from GameStop, and the Recon Pack, available exclusively from Best Buy....
