Many horror games reward players who try to brave their terrors multiple times on different difficulty modes. Each entry in the Dead Space franchise, for instance, features a new, even harder challenge that is unlocked whenever someone completes the game on Hard mode. The Dead Space remake is no different. Like the original Dead Space,

The debate over which actor is the best James Bond is a mostly friendly argument that will (and should) go on. After all, it’s sad to think that there won’t be a future James Bond who will challenge the likes of Connery, Moore, Dalton, Brosnan, Craig, and yes, even Lazenby (a disrespected Bond if there

After years of anticipation, the beloved N64 game GoldenEye 007 is finally returning to (some) modern consoles.

Square Enix’s Forspoken was released to the public just one day ago, but you’d think it has been out for a lifetime given how much people have been arguing about the game’s dialog.

2023 isn’t even a month old, yet Xbox and Bethesda are already scheduled to reveal some of their plans for the upcoming year as part of a special live stream event.

While Fire Emblem Engage adds a few fascinating wrinkles to the franchise formula, it’s really a pretty traditional Fire Emblem experience in a lot of the best ways. Among other things, that means the game features a massive cast of characters that you can recruit to join your party. That mechanic is already causing a

Fire Emblem games have a long-standing tradition of letting characters hook up with one another. Nothing encourages love quite like a battle of life and death against bandits and dragons. The latest entry, Fire Emblem Engage, is no different. Mostly. In previous Fire Emblem games, most characters can develop relationships with one another. The stronger

Square Enix’s Forspoken is certainly one of the biggest new releases of 2023 so far, but its road to release has been a bit rocky. Not only did many previews (including our own) point out some of the game’s notable early issues, but full reviews of the game have been embargoed until the day before

This Last of Us review contains spoilers. The Last of Us Episode 2 In what will come as no surprise to fans already familiar with The Last of Us games, episode 2 of the dystopian adventure’s HBO incarnation proves it has zero intentions of fucking around. With just about an episode and a half, the

It seems like only yesterday Nintendo released Fire Emblem: Three Houses (probably because the company released a spin-off, Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes, last year).

In case you haven’t heard, PlayStation fans are a little confused about what a PS5 exclusive really is. That might sound a little strange, but it really is becoming incredibly difficult to tell which games are going to be released for PS5 and which will also be available for the PS4. As you can tell

At the time the Xbox Series X/S was released in 2020, Microsoft stated that they would continue to release first-party exclusives for Xbox One for at least the next couple of years.

While the wide world of Genshin Impact offers plenty of distractions and activities, some quests naturally end up being more of a priority than others. That’s especially true of the Wenut Tunnels and the massive Setekh Wenut boss that lives in them. Actually, anyone who has unlocked Alhaitham (one of Genshin Impact 3.4‘s new characters)

The latest Genshin Impact patch is almost ready to drop. However, you will have to wait through a lengthy maintenance period before you can experience the game’s 3.4 update.

Shared universes are all the rage at the moment. Studios love to mash their various properties together, and audiences certainly seem to enjoy understanding all the references we get along the way. While shared universes are still a little less common in gaming, that doesn’t mean they don’t exist. Before we dive into this list,

Have some old PlayStation 4 games you’ll always love? Don’t throw them out just because you have a PlayStation 5; upgrade them to experience glorious raytraced 60 FPS action (where available). The PlayStation 5 has a ton of selling points, from haptic feedback controllers to a lightning-fast SSD. However, one of the console’s best features

When you create one of the greatest and most innovative games of all time, there are going to be imitators. Plenty of games have copied The Legend of Zelda since the original hit the Famicom Disk System in 1986. A few have arguably even improved on the beloved formula. Much like the Legend of Zelda

The previous One Piece game, One Piece World Seeker, is an ok open-world game that was surprisingly short for its genre. The latest video game offering the franchise, One Piece Odyssey, is likewise short for its genre, but at least it has comparatively more meat on its bones than World Seeker. While not every gamer

One Piece is one of the most successful anime franchises of all time, but its video game adaptations rarely reflect the source material’s quality.

Despite its name, the Legend of Zelda series has historically focused on Link. Even though they share the same name, most Links in the franchise are actually different people who lived centuries (if not more) apart.

As games (and the gaming industry) grow larger and more complicated, it’s easy to look back with nostalgia on the simple pleasures of the best NES games. However, even those seemingly simple NES games often held secrets that went undiscovered for years. While publications like Nintendo Power made a few early NES secrets relatively common
