For many longtime Zelda fans, The Ocarina of Time is one of the best entries in this massive franchise. When it first came out, it showed gamers things they had never seen before, all in 3D. For a game that was released 20+ years ago (makes you feel old, doesn’t it?) there are still some secrets that fans might not have discovered. Some of these secrets seem to be slight glitches, others seem to be fun little winks and nods from the developers....

The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker is now 20 years old, and no, we didn’t travel through the Temple of Time to get here; it has really been that long. Let’s take a look back at 20 of the best moments in Zelda: The Wind Waker to celebrate its major anniversary. The Wind Waker is a game with an incredible cast of characters and an art style that burns these moments into your memory....

The Sims is a simulation game where players control the lives of pixellated characters. Though the game first appears to be a virtual dollhouse, it has expanded into several sequels with a thriving modding community. Players can create new households to manipulate or self-insert themselves into the neighborhoods. Others have fun testing the limits of their Sim characters and creating unfortunate situations for the poor characters. The Sims first debuted as a computer-exclusive game in February 2000....

Dragon Ball. A franchise that’s known across the globe. A setting full of characters that are capable of destroying entire galaxies, universes, even timelines. A series also known for characters named after vegetables, old men obsessed with belly buttons, and guys named Mr. Popo. So it flip-flops a bit. Dragon Ball is an incredibly deep and complex series, even if it doesn’t appear to be. It has also had many incarnations....

I have kind of a weird history with the Dark Souls series. On one hand I adore these games for being something different. There is something just so satisfying and rewarding about the gameplay. Not to mention the monsters From Software cooks up are second to none. That said, I only have the willpower to dip my toes into these games. They are just too intense for me. The closest I came to finishing one was Dark Souls 2....

Skyrim’s a big place. Roughly fourteen square miles of world to explore, give or take. That’s quite a bit of space to fill with dungeons, dragons, orcs, elves, booming townships, and crumbling ruins. It’s also a lot of room in which to hide that sweet, sweet loot, the lifeblood of any RPG adventurer. When it comes to weaponry, Skyrim brings you hundreds of options spread out across ten different flavors. After all, it’s best to entertain a healthy and balanced variety when it comes to mangling draugr....

In competition with Sony’s PlayStation and Microsoft’s Xbox, Nintendo consoles haven’t always been known for their versatility when it comes to the hardware. Even as recent as the Wii and Wii U days, these consoles, while containing a pretty strong library, weren’t too flexible in their support of other apps, media, or their customization abilities. But while the Switch still garners some criticism in terms of its relative lack of horsepower compared to giants Sony and Microsoft, Nintendo has definitely stepped up their game when it comes to functionality, versatility, and convenience....

It’s been such a long time since we’ve last seen Borderlands that we almost forgot how it feels to be “sitting” on a huge pile of guns. Gearbox has finally revealed Borderlands 3 last week, filling us with excitement about its setting, gunfights and, of course, its characters. During Borderlands 3’s trailer, we’ve seen new faces, including the classes of our 4 playable characters and some old ones couldn’t be missing as well....

The Nintendo GameCube was released in 2001 and sat between the Xbox and the PlayStation 2 in terms of graphical power. The machine was capable of some surprisingly great visuals and sounds and offered gamers fantastic gameplay experiences with timeless visuals. The fact that many of these games still look amazing today is a compliment to the developers who were able to squeeze so much of their artistic vision onto the tiny GameCube discs....

Wordle might seem like it involves plenty of guessing, but that is not the case if you are going about things more creatively. Using certain words, a player can easily cut down on wrong guesses and produce the right answer much more swiftly. In this guide, we’ll go through all of the 5-letter words ending with RO to give you a good idea of where to start and aid you on the quest to maintain your streak....

Having a repository of words at the back of your hand is a great way to ensure that Wordle is never too difficult for you. In addition to that, using the right words to help you eliminate any unnecessary letters is another key way to help you on the way to the right answer. In this guide, we go through all of the 5-letter words starting with DE to give you a good idea of where to start, and hopefully, keep that streak of yours going strong....

The word “tryhard” is used as an insult in games because it means that it’s an “untalented” person who tries too hard to succeed, too competitive, and may even end up imitating others. But many players like to reclaim the word and use a form of it, as a Fortnite name. If you are just starting out in the game and thinking of a nickname, or just looking for some inspiration, this list may come in handy....

Activision may be beavering away on a new Crash Bandicoot game, judging by never-before-seen assets and character models seen in adverts (via games radar). The evidence? In PlayStation’s new It’s Time to Play advert, a couple of characters from its first and third-party video games drop into the real world. Crash, Coco, and Dr. N. Cortex zoom around a multi-storey car park, and eagle-eyed fans have spotted a strange mask floating behind Crash....

So, what have the developers learned from the Nioh 2 beta? Apparently, the bosses are too easy. Either that, or the player who wiped them all out using level 1 equipment is just beyond godlike (don’t worry, it’s the latter). Now, we don’t know if you’ve heard, but FromSoftware has a penchant for making action RPGs that are… well, a little on the challenging side. Dark Souls, as everyone familiar with the gaming world can attest, has become the very last word in video game difficulty....

Rat swarming simulator A Plague Tale: Innocence has gone gold ahead of its release next month, developer Asobo Studio has announced. That’s good news, in case you wondered, as it means the game has wrapped development and we shouldn’t expect any delays ahead of its launch on May 14 for PlayStation 4, PC, and Xbox One. A Plague Tale is one of the more interesting titles on the horizon for 2019....

Red Dead Redemption has left PlayStation’s streaming service after six years of availability. Sony’s service - now part of the newly-revamped PS Plus Premium, though formerly the separate PlayStation Now subscription - has been home to Red Dead Redemption since 2016. Its departure means there is now no way to play Rockstar’s original cowboy epic on PS4 or PS5. Sony quietly had Red Dead Redemption listed as leaving its streaming service if you looked up the game over the past month, though did not trumpet its departure....

Nearly a year after the game was originally released, Gearbox Software is still supporting Borderlands with downloadable content. The latest Borderlands DLC, Claptrap’s New Robot Revolution, finds the Vault Hunters (or Hunter) on a mission from the weapon manufacturing Hyperion Corporation. The team is tasked with stopping a renegade Claptrap, who is a sort of humorous mix of Star Trek’s Borg and Terminator’s Skynet, from taking over the world of Pandora....

When it comes to Mortal Kombat, Scorpion is a hands-down fan favorite. Something about the undead ninja captures the hearts of many a gamer, perhaps it’s the way he burns his enemies to a crisp or tears out their spines. Whatever the reason, gamers love Scorpion, and that could the reason why hes getting so much attention lately. Warner Bros. and NetherRealm Studios aren’t letting up here either, releasing a new vignette showing off Scorpion’s myriad of skills and combos....

“Stop worrying,” Konami has told fans. PES hasn’t been cancelled. The publisher took to Twitter to clarify that “the future of PES is safe” after rumours emerged yesterday suggesting that it may not have plans to launch a new game in the series later this year. But according to European product manager Adam Bhatti, that isn’t the case. “Hey guys just want to say to please stop worrying, the future of PES is safe,” he said....
