You know, I think I was wrong about Skyrim. For years after its release, I actually didn’t like it very much. Sure, like everyone else, I sunk about 50 hours into the thing, but then just left it, telling myself “it’s not as good as Oblivion.” Oblivion still holds a special place in my heart, but Skyrim is worthy in its own right. The environments, Bethesda’s trademark, are beautiful, the dungeons are well-designed, and the voice acting, while not amazing, is better than its predecessor....

While the Switch’s sophomore year of 2018 wasn’t exactly filled to the brim with new releases (save for that 1-2 punch of Pokémon and Smash that literally broke every bone in my body and my wallet), 2019 is setting out to remedy that situation. Nintendo is gearing up for a packed year, filled with tons of exclusive first and third party releases for the Switch. And while 2019 is sure to be a great year for the system, 2020 has absolutely no new titles announced for the system as of yet....

Despite ascending to icon status in the gaming community and shining as a stellar RPG, the first generation of Pokemon games came with their share of oddities and nonsensical traits. While you can say that most entries have at least a few areas that don’t quite make sense, Game Freak’s debut Pokemon title has quite a few, in particular. These range from bizarre glitches to random quirks to strange or inconsistent lore elements....

Final Fantasy is a game series that has no shortage of memorable boss fights. From the first fight with Garland in the original Final Fantasy to the final battle with Ardyn in Final Fantasy XV, there have been many amazing bosses. Even some of the non-final bosses in the franchise are suitably epic. This includes the iconic Guard Scorpion fight in Final Fantasy VII, and the Seymour fights in X....

Truly we’ve been blessed this holiday season. Not only for the plethora of great games that have come out in 2018, but because one of the best came out at the tail-end of the year—Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. There are few games that can live up to the momentous amount of hype that was built for Smash Ultimate, and despite the game only being out for a short while, it’s safe to say that hype was met....

Bethesda’s clearly having something of an identity crisis right now, so it seems like this is an opportune time to hop onto the hate train and tell them what’s wrong with all the games that aren’t Fallout 76. Right? Well, wrong, actually. There’s something incredibly wrong with that whole train of logic. But that’s never stopped me before, so we’re going to do this anyway! Besides, with a new Elder Scrolls title sitting just over the horizon, maybe applying a little critical thought to the iconic RPG series that started it all isn’t the worst thing that could happen....

With the newest installment of the Fallout series just around the corner, many of us are cramming in as much of the older games as possible to fill the void. Fallout has always amazed us and in every playthrough there seems to be something new that we discover. But most of us think that we must have gotten close to discovering everything, right? Well, with the gigantic areas we are able to explore, there is always something more to find....

When it comes to a game like Wordle, blind guesses are not going to cut it if you are trying to succeed. Instead, consider a more careful approach with calculated guesses to help narrow down the field. In this guide, we’ll go through all of the 5-letter words with IM as the third and fourth letters to give you a good idea of where to start and aid you on the quest to maintain your streak....

Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness had a fantastic opening weekend and continues to be one of the biggest box office successes for the MCU to come out during the pandemic. Even bigger yet is that this film finally confirmed which universe all of the MCU movies and shows take place in. But of course, that revelation and a number of others leave us with more questions than answers....

Dragon Ball Z Kakarot is a remarkably faithful representation of Dragon Ball Z, carving out its own niche in a market that already has some very good Dragon Ball games available. Nostalgic fans who want another iteration of the familiar story they know and love are able to step into the shoes of their favorite characters and re-live the tale again. In fact, Kakarot is so accurate that the moments that are not exactly the same as the anime stand out all the more....

Halo fans continue to be on an emotional roller coaster since 343 took over the franchise. For every step forward the series takes, it seems to take 10 steps backward in the eyes of many fans. While Halo Infinite initially surprised fans, public opinion has once again turned. Here are 5 things that Halo Infinite could learn from Halo 3. Finish the Fight While the campaign of Halo infinite was a solid effort in terms of gameplay, the story ultimately felt like filler....

Bioshock memes are like a glass of fine wine – you don’t need it all the time, but dang is it good when you do. Some of the best memes on the internet always come from the darkest pieces of entertainment, and Bioshock is as dark as it gets. Not only do you spend most of your time in dimly lit corridors, but this iconic franchise is packed with horrid themes such as mutated children being turned into fuel storage and the elderly being stuffed and packed into “Big Daddy” type suits....

Even though a movie has all the correct ingredients for success, it can still very much fall at the final hurdle. Yes, Anthony and Joe Russo’s The Gray Man may be the latest case study that mirrors this, as despite its eye-wateringly expensive budget of $200 million and its star-studded cast, critics have been largely nonplussed by the espionage action-thriller. That’s not to say that the blockbuster has been a total washout, though....

Fans who are eagerly awaiting the addition of Terry Bogard to Super Smash Bros. Ultimate might not have to wait much longer. A recent trademark spotted in the upcoming Spirit Event has the SNK Corporation listed among them, suggesting Terry is close to arrival. Terry’s arrival in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate was initially spoiled by a trademark that was added to the fourth DLC character’s page before he was announced. The SNK trademark was added to the website before any character was revealed, but Terry was considered the most likely choice....

Turns out Eurocom was developing Spider-Man 4 for Nintendo Wii, and a prototype of the game has recently come to light. Marvel’s Spider-Man took the video game world by storm in 2018. The lauded PS4 exclusive received all sorts of awards and went on to become the best-selling superhero game of all time, surpassing Batman: Arkham City. What younger fans might not know is Spidey has a rich history when it comes to addictive and ground-breaking video games dating back to the Tobey Maguire era....

Last month, a new post on the Twitch UserVoice forum requested for a Disability Pride Month. It’s something that’s celebrated for other minority groups, but is yet to be implemented on the streaming platform for the disability community. In under a month, the post has received over 1100 votes, with plenty of comments from disabled streamers in support. So far, Twitch has celebrated Global Accessibility Awareness Day in May for the past two years....

Annie Wersching, who played Tess in Naughty Dog’s original The Last of Us game, has sadly passed away from cancer. She was 45. In a tribute shared via Deadline, Wersching’s husband Stephen Full said she would find “wonder in the simplest moment” and “didn’t require music to dance”. “There is a cavernous hole in the soul of this family today. But she left us the tools to fill it,” he wrote....

Adele’s 25 album was 2015’s biggest-selling entertainment product, outselling FIFA 16 by around 90,000 units, reports retail trade body ERA. 25 shifted 2,604,850 units, with FIFA selling 2,516,079 units, but EA’s sports title would be way out ahead in terms of revenue. It’s worth noting that music sales include both retail and digital, whilst game sales are retail only, so FIFA 16 could well have sold more total units, but we just don’t know....

It’s miraculous that a game like AI: The Somnium Files got made. Helmed by the absolute madman behind the Zero Escape franchise, Spike Chunsoft’s latest feels like something that would be right at home in the mid-aughts Nintendo DS library. The anime-infused cyberpunk thriller calls to mind quirky and obscure gems like Time Hollow and Lux-Pain, and its unique blend of genres defies most classification. Indeed, AI is the sort of title that most gamers are going to bounce right off of....
