If you look at the sales numbers

While the Nintendo Game Boy is one of the most influential and successful pieces of video game hardware ever, it’s hard to look at the device these days and not wonder why its graphics were so green. It’s funny, but I’ve found that even some of those who grew up with the Game Boy can

While many of the PS2’s best games have thankfully gone on to enjoy numerous sequels, remakes, and/or remasters, some of the projects that helped make the PS2’s library as diverse as

Lost Ark‘s massive April update is finally here, which means that millions of the MMOARPG’s players are looking for advice on how to build the game’s latest advanced class, Glaiviers. Anyone familiar with Lost Ark‘s other Martial Artist classes will probably be vaguely familiar with Glaiviers’ basic design. They’re essentially elaborate brawlers who rely on

Elden Ring‘s recent 1.04 update includes quite a few notable buffs, nerfs, and changes, but the highlight of the update’s patch notes has to be the fact that the open-world RPG‘s various Colossal weapons are significantly better than they were before. While Elden Ring‘s Colossal weapons were always big, visually impressive, and the preferred choice

When The Force Unleashed was first announced at E3 2006, it looked poised to be the most ambitious Star Wars game ever made, and 16 years later it is an underrated classic, but it also marked the beginning of the end for Lucasfilm’s legendary game development division, LucasArts.

Gamers and theorists are still trying to piece together the story and backstory of Dark Souls and Bloodborne, and Elden Ring continues that proud tradition by offering a narrative full of fascinating facts that are surprisingly easy to miss. Elden Ring‘s basic story is surprisingly

Between The Elder Scrolls Online‘s recent free trial on Steam, its tantalizing place in the Game Pass library, and the fact that The Elder Scrolls 6‘s release date isn’t nearly as close as we’d like it to be, more and more people are suddenly wondering if now is the time to finally start playing The

I’ll never forget seeing The Rise of Skywalker for the first time. I initially had little interest in scrambling to see the movie on opening weekend, but it’s sometimes hard to ignore the appeal of an “event movie” at a time when there are so few films that fall into that category. So, I grabbed

When you think back on the Super Nintendo, you probably try to focus on the console’s many classic games, incredible RPGs, or even its absolute worst titles. However, it has to be said that Nintendo’s best console was also the home of some of the absolute weirdest games ever made. There was just something about

“Did you catch that easter egg?” “No, but I read about all these in an easter egg guide.” “Have you heard?

Once a jargon-y phrase used almost

LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga is filled with playable characters from the Star Wars universe, many of which are famous faces.

It’s been 30 years since The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past was released in North America, and every day since the game’s debut has only made it easier to appreciate the many ways it remains the definitive Legend of Zelda experience. Mind you, that doesn’t mean that A Link to the Past

The Last of Us games are full of moments that have stuck with fans for years. While we don’t know how many of these iconic scenes will make it into HBO’s upcoming live-action adaptation, we now know the show will include a pretty faithful recreation of one of The Last of Us’ most memorable action
