The fact that Fortnite’s player base has exceeded 250 million registered accounts clearly indicates that it’s the most popular battle royale game in the world. However, it doesn’t make it the only one worthy of your attention. There are plenty of other great titles in the genre, most of which you already know. So why not give them a chance? Here’s a list of 10 nice battle royale titles that are not necessarily worse than Fortnite....
When it comes to racing games, there are some big names that people tend to immediately drift to. There’s no shortage of great examples that span a multitude of styles - from Mario Kart, to Gran Turismo, to the open-world epic Forza Horizon. Yet, looming under the shadow of these greats exists a whole slew of racers that have flown under the radar for most gamers. These are games that, despite their quality and enjoyment, have been somewhat left in the dust in favor of hype-laden heavy hitters....
When you level a character in Classic World of Warcraft, you hear a lot about the arduous grind to 60, how long it takes and how boring it is, especially compared to some other games. Players tend to whine more when they get into their late 20s or early 30s. After you grind for a few decades, it does tend to get tedious, even for veterans. However, fear not, as there are lots of different ways to level your character in Classic WoW, so when you get bored with questing or grinding mobs, grab a few friends and head to a dungeon....
As we already know, no matter how much Twitter screaming one does, it never seems to rectify the fact that not every Pokémon will be making the leap to Sword and Shield when the new games arrive on the Switch in November. However… is that really a bad thing? We’re headed toward having 1,000 Pokémon in the game, not all of them are home runs. Thus, today we’ll be going over ten Pokémon that Sword and Shield can just kind of… ditch....
Love it or hate it, Call of Duty undeniably changed the FPS genre. Things were completely different prior to the first game’s 2003 debut, and, were it not for this oft-debated military shooter franchise, first-person shooters may not have enjoyed the explosion in popularity they experienced in the late 2000s. Sure, the series has done a lot of bad in recent years, with the normalization of loot boxes and microtransactions a chief concern among avid gamers....

For those who’ve never heard of “swatting” before, it’s when someone calls the police and lies about a horrible crime taking place in the hopes of seeing a SWAT team descend on an unsuspecting target, usually someone they don’t like. In the last few years, it’s become a fairly common occurrence in the gaming scene. Just two months ago, professional Fortnite player Kyle ‘Bugha’ Giersdorf was swatted during a livestream. Unfortunately, he’s not the latest Fortnite pro with that questionable distinction anymore....
There’s been a lot of great remakes coming out in the last few years. Among them have been The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening and even the upcoming remake of Final Fantasy 7. With all these great classics finding their way to modern consoles, we can’t help but take a look back at one of our favorite handhelds. The DS library hosts hundreds of games, many of which hold a special place in gamers’ hearts....
It’s because of this long history of success that publisher Konami has wanted to continue the adventures of Snake and company, even if that means deviating from the guided path. And boy if this isn’t deviating I don’t know what is. Last year, Konami announced Metal Gear Survive. Long gone are the governmental spying and political intel gathering, as the latest announcement will be centered on the players ability to survive in a zombie apocalypse, which has left many fans of the series in a state of confusion as what to expect....
Kingdom Hearts! Ahem, sorry. I’m so hyped up on Kingdom Hearts III that I can hardly contain my excitement. I, along with many, have been waiting for this game for a long time. I graduated the year Kingdom Hearts II came out aka 2006. Sure some of the spinoffs in-between were good and I am baffled by how much time I’ve sunk into the mobile game, Kingdom Hearts Union χ. Suffice it to say I’m a huge fan, but there’s nothing quite like an actual numbered sequel on a current console to really get the blood pumping....
I’ve said it before in previous articles, but let me make this point clear to you readers before starting this article proper. I did not own a Nintendo 64 in its heyday. I did play a lot of it at friend’s houses though and even borrowed it, or more like traded it, to play some games for a spell. It was not my first priority though let’s say. After being a Nintendo household for two generations my family instead went the way of the PlayStation....

When it comes to completely unexpected game announcements that caught us completely off-guard, few come close to that of Half-Life: Alyx. Back when it was announced in last year’s November, the whole gaming community collectively lost their minds over the fact that we will be getting an actual new Half-Life game. After the huge failure that was Artifact, fans of Valve games are hoping that this new project will be the game that redeems the company, and creates a promising future for Valve games yet to come....
Since the late nineties and early 2000s, Metal Gear Solid and Splinter Cell have been the biggest stealth franchises around. Naturally, this has led to constant comparisons between the two. Some people love walking around in cardboard boxes and tranquilizing guards in Metal Gear Solid. Others prefer hanging from pipes and eliminating light fixtures in Splinter Cell. Now that the future of both franchises is unclear, it is the perfect time to decide which is/was the best....

Video game movie adaptations get a bad rap, but the majority of the time it’s because they suck real bad. Having said that, there have been a handful that have surprisingly bucked that age old trend. (I’m looking at you, Silent Hill). Interestingly, though, one has seemingly come out of nowhere today that has its sights set on streaming domination. The film in question is 2021’s Mortal Kombat reboot, which has managed to pummel its way up the rankings and nab the ninth spot on HBO’s global Top 10 most-viewed movies list, according to FlixPatrol....
Dam It, a never finished Left 4 Dead campaign, is now available to play after developer Turtle Rock released it as part of a new free game addon. “Just finished putting the Dam campaign that we streamed a while back into a L4D addon,” wrote Turtle Rock co-founder Chris Ashton. “It’s gray box, and some code features are missing but it’s playable from beginning to end. It also includes two standalone survival maps that never shipped....
