This week, Microsoft integrated HowLongToBeat.com into the Xbox app on PC. The site, if you’re not familiar; does exactly what you would expect from the name: it tells you how long a game will take to beat, based on aggregate playtimes from participating players. There’s a Main Story estimate, which applies to you if you […]
The Big Question: What Pokemon Could You Take (In A Fight)?
When it was first suggested that this week’s Big Question should be ‘What Pokemon Can You Take On?’, the response from staff was absolutely childish. Therefore, I hope you dirty animals appreciate the clarification we had to add. Get your minds out of the gutter, we have some animals to punch the living daylights out […]
Do We Even Really Want Silent Hill to Come Back?
I love Silent Hill. And because being a Silent Hill fan means lying to yourself, I was one of the many dopes who got their hopes up when Konami said they’d be announcing a new game in a beloved franchise at the Tokyo Game Show. The first mistake I made was using “hope” and “Konami” […]
Sonic Frontiers Is Going To Be Completely Different In Japan
Sega is hoping to turn Sonic's fortunes around in Japan, bringing in new players with Sonic Frontiers. In aid of this, all of the dialogue has been rewritten for the Japanese release, with Frontiers containing the most regional differences of a Sonic game to date. Shedding some light on how the team accomplished this, Sonic […]
God Of War: Ragnarok’s Trailer Makes Me Worry The PS4 Is Holding It Back
Sony's State of Play earlier this week ended with a big, blockbuster trailer for God of War: Ragnarok. As I wrote about in the immediate aftermath, I wasn't overly enamoured by it. There are a few reasons why – I didn't love the first game as much as others did, finding it to be frequently […]
It’s The Worst In The Trilogy, But Modern Warfare 3 Still Deserves A Remaster
Modern Warfare 3 is the only entry in the shooter trilogy yet to receive some love since its original launch. It might be backward compatible for the Xbox One, but Sledgehammer’s debut effort is seldom mentioned in the same breath as its two masterful predecessors. I understand that outlook to an extent. It’s easily the […]
Modern Warfare 2’s Grand Prix Map Might Have Been Cut As All Mentions Of It Get Deleted From Socials
Call of Duty fans are worried that one of Modern Warfare 2's new maps, Grand Prix, has been cut from the game altogether after Infinity Ward scrubbed all mentions of it from social media. Prior to the launch of the currently ongoing closed beta, Infinity Ward said the Grand Prix would be one of the […]
Where Are The Wind Waker And Twilight Princess Switch Remasters At?
Nintendo is a weird company. It has the most illustrious legacy of any single company in the medium and seldom chooses to take advantage of that fact. Countless classics are confined to their original platforms or only available through outdated retail models or a cheeky bit of emulation. Right now I can’t buy gems like […]
8 Best Beastmasters In Gaming
Beastmasters are people that command creatures, whether it be their own tames, or animals summoned from the wild. Usually, the beastmaster has one main 'pet' that they keep by their side. There are tons of beastmasters in video games, with some of them being a bit cooler than others. Here, we are going to talk […]
Assassin’s Creed Infinity Sounds Impressive But I Still Have No Idea What It Is
There was a lot announced at Ubisoft Forward last weekend, and some of it didn’t even leak. From the underrated Valiant Hearts getting a sequel only on Netflix, to the Crew 2 apparently still getting updates, to the Assassin’s Creed: Mirage age rating debacle, it was all a lot to digest over the last few […]
