Heading into Square Enix’s E3 showcase, most Marvel fans would have been expecting to see new additions to the Avengers roadmap, and not much else. We did get that, but Square Enix gave us so much more – we also got the reveal of a whole new game. Even better, a Marvel game not tied […]
Ratchet And Clank: Rift Apart Is A Lesson In Dense World Building
Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart is a bit of an outlier. We’re over half a year into the latest console generation, and there’s still a sense that we haven’t quite seen what these new machines are fully capable of. For one thing, there aren’t too many exclusives yet; most games are cross-gen still, with God […]
Breath Of The Wild 2 Concept Art Could Hold One Of Link’s Biggest Secrets
The latest trailer for Breath of the Wild 2 is less than two minutes long, but that hasn’t stopped me and my colleagues at TheGamer from poring over every frame in search of potential plot details, environmental clues, and whatever else we can find that provides an idea of where this sequel might take us. […]
Red Dead Redemption 2 Is Perfect To Play On a Hot Day
On a hot day, it can be nice to go out to a park, hit up the local swimming pool, or even go camping with friends. Sometimes though, you just want to stay on the couch, marinating in a puddle of your own sweat, and you know what? That’s fine, too. That’s how I spent […]
Star-Lord Is Getting The Single Player Journey Ms. Marvel Deserved
This year’s E3 is over and it’s probably fair to say the event was a mixed bag. Many are peeved that the almost-week-long slate of showcases didn’t feature more blockbuster announcements, but between what Xbox, Nintendo, and a couple of other major studios had to say, there is certainly plenty to look forward to. For Square […]
Madden NFL 22 Preview – A New Set Of Downs
While a running joke among sports video game players is about what little innovation takes place in the space, last year’s Madden NFL 21 was a particular target thanks to minimal upgrades to the series’ most played modes. In response to a launch that brought about an unprecedented amount of backlash from the community regarding Franchise […]
Metroid co-creator on why Metroid Dread is all about scary robots
Metroid Dread, the upcoming 2D platformer for Nintendo Switch, will be stressful to play. Its heroine, Samus Aran, will explore an alien planet and collect her usual arsenal of power armor upgrades, but she’ll have little recourse against the game’s new powerful enemies: super-intelligent robots called EMMI that pursue her with deadly determination. This new […]
Samus Has Outgrown The Morph Ball In Metroid Dread
Nintendo announced Metroid Dread during its E3 presentation this week, and we’ve already seen a fair amount of gameplay. The trailer that aired during the Direct showed off quite a few environments, animations, and enemies featured in the new game, and a play session during Nintendo Tree House Live that aired after the showcase gave […]
Breath Of The Wild 2 Needs The Palace Of Winds
Yes, I know, Minish Cap is Capcom Zelda and therefore not necessarily integral to the Breath of the Wild narrative currently being worked on by Nintendo. But do you know what? Who cares? Nintendo should have adopted Vaati, who is a far more intriguing villain than Ganon ever was, almost two decades ago. The Capcom/Nintendo […]
Gaming Needs To Stop Supporting NFTs
NFTs can fuck off. I want to stop writing there, but I should probably explain myself a little further, just in case you’re not quite sure what an NFT is or why they need to fuck off. NFT stands for non-fungible token, which basically – and I will be talking in basics, because NFTs try […]
