We previously talked about the release of a Commodore 64 Mini that we were less than enthusiastic about at the time. It turns out the final release of that console was indeed somewhat disappointing as it didn’t even feature a fully-functional keyboard. Now, however, there is a Commodore 64 Mini alternative that may just fill

Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order might finally be giving Star Wars fans what they want — a story-focused game set in the galaxy far, far away sans loot boxes — but it’s also impossible to ignore how familiar it looks. Scheduled for release this holiday, Jedi: Fallen Order is an action-adventure game developed by Respawn, makers

We hope that this will end up being one of the strangest stories we bring you this week, but Bond 25 director Cary Fukunaga has denied rumors that production on the latest Bond movie was delayed due to his addiction to Red Dead Redemption 2.  This all started when The Sun (a source which has traditionally

The Just Dance series has been a surprise staple for the Nintendo Wii over the last several years, but Ubisoft has confirmed that Just Dance 2020 will not only be the last Just Dance title for the Wii but possibly the last Nintendo Wii title ever made.  “I think we are the last soldier standing!”

2005’s Psychonauts may not have been a runaway commercial success, but it is regularly cited as one of the greatest examples of creative design in video game history. The game focuses on a camp of students who learn to use their psychic abilities to visit the minds of various people. Those minds are represented by

Electronic Arts‘ Kerry Hopkins, the company’s VP of legal and government affairs, has defended EA’s use of loot boxes, stating that these microtransaction-assisted game mechanics are “quite ethical and quite fun.” Hopkins seems to like the term “surprise mechanics” as an alternative to “loot boxes.” It’s worth remembering that the abundance of loot boxes in

Release Date: June 25, 2019Platform: PS4Developer: Ryu Ga Gotoku StudioPublisher: SegaGenre: Action-adventure Sega is advertising Judgment as a very different spin-off to its long-running Yakuza series. In reality, Judgment still feels a lot like a Yakuza title for better or worse, but a strong story and solid gameplay make it one of the best games released in 2019 so far. Whereas the

This article is part 2 in our History of PC Gaming series.  The evolution of PC gaming features ups, down, important characters, and many, many chapters. And these chapters are not always so clearly defined. There is much debate about which pivotal moments define the history of PC gaming. There is no universally agreed upon series of

This article comes from Den of Geek UK.  Pokémon Ruby and Pokémon Sapphire, which launched in 2002, and faced an uphill battle leading up to its release. Game Freak’s Junichi Masuda, who’s directed several installments in the series, has openly admitted that these Gen-3 Pokemon games were “very stressful” to make, presenting one of the

In a candid interview with GameDaily.biz, EA CEO Andrew Wilson opened up about the state of Anthem, which has faced several issues since its launch in February. According to Wilson, one of the game’s problems comes down to the expectations of different types of players — ones who came for BioWare’s signature brand of story content and

Despite rumors to the contrary, it seems that Xbox Scarlett is the only next-gen console that Microsoft is currently working on.  “Last year we said consoles, and we’ve shipped a console and we’ve now detailed another console. I think that’s plural,” said Xbox’s Phil Spencer in an interview with Business Insider. “Technically that is plural. Right

Realism and relevance are central to Infinity Ward’s vision for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, a reimagining of the landmark 2007 shooter. Collateral damage plays a bigger role in today’s battlefields simply because the War on Terror is often fought in residential areas with civilians in close proximity, which introduces layers of moral complexity to

We were all surprised to learn that Divinity: Original Sin developer Larian Studios is working on Baldur’s Gate 3, but it turns out that they weren’t the first studio to chase the rights to make the surprising sequel to the former BioWare franchise.  “I love that title,” says inXile CEO Brian Fargo in an interview with

With all due respect to 2019 and its lineup of great titles, the best video games of 2020 are shaping up to be some of the best offerings in recent years. So we’ve started a guide to the titles you absolutely need to play next year. As Sony and Microsoft eye the next generation of

Mars is in bad shape and the humans stationed there are crippling under an overwhelming demonic invasion force. Hell’s plan? To blow up Mars’ core, a catastrophic event that will likely be the end of Earth, too. The soldiers scrambling in a space station above the doomed planet are in a panic. All seems lost…until

Animal Crossing: New Horizons project lead Aya Kyogoku has confirmed via an interview with Mashable that series staple Mr. Resetti has been fired from his traditional Animal Crossing role and will be assigned new duties in New Horizons.  For those who don’t know, Mr. Resetti first appeared in the original Animal Crossing for GameCube.

The annual E3 conference in Los Angeles sees games developers assembling in one place with a simple goal: to try and outdo each other with the big reveals. And now that E3 2019 is nearing its end, let’s have a look at how this year’s revelations compare to the classics that have come before. There

When the first Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order gameplay footage was shown at E3 2019, it teased an interesting blend of force-power skills and perfectly timed lightsaber swipes. But one thing it didn’t show was those famous laser swords dismembering anyone. Given that the chopping off of hands/arms has become something of a trope in

If you’re a lover not a fighter, but you’d like to check out Cyberpunk 2077, fear not: it’s been confirmed that it will be possible to complete pacifist playthroughs of the upcoming Keanu Reeves-starring game from CD Projekt Red. This comes as something of a surprise, especially when you consider that the player-character is a

The Nintendo Switch was such a good idea. Not only is it a home/handheld hybrid console perfect for couch co-op as well as your morning commute, but it’s also the perfect platform on which to re-release classic games because of said functionality. From Skyrim and Castlevania to The Witcher 3 and Resident Evil, the Switch

My reaction to the trailer for Square Enix’s newly unveiled Marvel’s Avengers title was tepid to say the least, but at E3 I got the chance to take a longer look at the game in action behind closed doors, where I was treated to 25-minutes of hands-off gameplay. Unlike the trailer, my reaction to the

If you’ve played the Marvel Ultimate Alliance games over the years, you’ll feel right at home with the latest iteration in the series, Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3: The Black Order.

Pokémon Sword and Shield will not allow gamers to complete a full National Pokédex, which means that Nintendo and Game Freak won’t be cramming the entire compendium of critters into these new titles. Catching them all, in a completist sense, will not be possible in Sword and Shield. Instead, there will be a curated selection

Stranger Things is set to become the latest brand to line up a location-based mobile game, following a trend that kicked off when Pokémon Go took the world by storm in 2016. It’s been confirmed that the new Stranger Things mobile game is set to launch in 2020.  This isn’t the first Stranger Things mobile

Shenmue III has me torn in two. I spent 15 minutes with the game at E3, and on one hand, I was delighted with much of what I played, mostly because the little things—like having odd conversations with random townsfolk, buying peculiar items and trinkets from shops and capsule vending machines, and engaging in quaint,

Mojang is developing a new game based on the Minecraft universe.  Titled Minecraft: Dungeons, this new project is a dungeon crawler set in the Minecraft universe.

One of the biggest, best and most beloved games on Nintendo Switch is set to get a sequel, with Nintendo confirming at E3 2019 that development has begun on The Legend Of Zelda: Breath Of The Wild 2. You can watch the trailer at this link if you haven’t already. Dropped in a surprise fashion at

Get ready, because 2019 is shaping up to be a special year for video games. While it’s always possible for a year to take us by surprise in regards to how great it is for gaming or how bad it ends up being, you can generally tell when you’re going to have a marquee year. In
