Would we be good just playing the main series Pokémon games from Red and Blue all the way down to Sun and Moon and whatever’s in store for the Switch? Sure! Grueling breeding and training programs to mechanistically produce perfect fighting machines never gets old. But, the Pokémon series has always had a fun, wacky […]
A lot of people like to recap the best or the worst of something, but when it comes to video game movies, that’s no fun. Did you remember Dwayne Johnson was in a Doom movie? Maybe you did, but I forgot! Did you remember that a Hitman movie exists, at all? Did you forget Street Fighter: The Legend […]
It’s been a big year for the Nintendo Switch, Nintendo’s new hybrid and extremely awesome video game console. It outsold its predecessor, the Wii U, in under a year, prepared us for a revolution in cardboard gameplay, and delivered some awesome games like Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Super Mario Odyssey. We know the […]
Everyone’s jonesing for that original content these days! It’s almost all Netflix does anymore, Amazon and Hulu are building up their libraries, and even Facebook is — well, they’re trying, anyway. So, maybe we shouldn’t be surprised that the next quasi-player is the Xbox team. This week, Microsoft announced Inside Xbox, a streaming show about upcoming […]
A couple months ago, Nintendo proved once again that they’re not afraid to experiment. With Nintendo Labo, they managed to turn sheets of cardboard into their next big contribution to video games. Labo is a new series of play sets made for the Nintendo Switch that the company plans to launch in April. Each set […]
Remember when Nintendo was dead in the water? The dark ages of the Wii U seem like ancient history now that we’re in the Switch Renaissance! The Switch has already notched 10 million sales worldwide, putting it on pace to blow by the 13.5 million Wii U units they sold all-time. This week, the Switch […]
Like a lot of you, I headed back to the parents’ over the holidays. While quality family time was most certainly had (I’ll spare you from me shoehorning Scrabble into this month’s roundup), the trip home remained, as ever, a bountiful source of quality gaming time. This year was better than ever — as if we […]
Any anxiety about Nintendo being able to stay independent in the world of video games is gone. Since launching in March, the Nintendo Switch has sold at least 10 million units — and that number is from mid-December, before the full holiday shopping numbers have been added. The Switch’s predecessor, the Wii U, only sold 13.5 […]
What are we getting comfy with next year? With the enhanced graphics of the Xbox One X and the PS4 Pro and versatility and flat-out fun of the Nintendo Switch, 2018 is shaping up to be pretty amazing! Here’s what we’ve got our eyes on for the new year! Sea of Thieves (Xbox One/Windows 10) […]
We want to celebrate the year that was in video games, and there’s going to be a theme to it this year! In 2017, we clearly saw something that’s been a problem in games for a long time — iterative franchises that bring very little new or innovative to the table with every passing year, unless […]
The fall video game release season just ended, and that means we’ve got yet another humongous backlog to get through — oh who are we kidding, we’ve never gotten through any backlog. I’ll decline to list the games I’ve bought on Steam and haven’t played, because we have a lot more awesome stuff to talk about that […]
Is there a way to make good Reddit history? Seems unlikely! We’ve seen plenty of users and companies see their comments met with a terrifyingly snowballing angry mob, though — there’s even a hall of shame of sorts chronicling the comments that have been downvoted the most. That hall of shame is getting a new member […]
Ever play a video game and think of all the ways you could make it better, or just completely different? Well now you can. Bloxels, in a partnership with Mattel, has launched a new hands-on technology that enables kids (but you know adults will want in on to) to build, design, play and share their very […]
It’s a big day for Minecraft fans. That is because Microsoft has released the Xbox One S Minecraft Favorites Bundle (500GB). This special edition includes the most compact Xbox yet, the Xbox One S, which is the only video game console this holiday that features a built-in 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray player and HDR support for […]
It’s a very good day for Nintendo fans. Nintendo Co Ltd is in talks with several global production companies about expanding its video content business, into movie production, said Tatsumi Kimishima, president of the Japanese videogame maker. He said this was part of a strategical move to expand the brand’s character business and global gaming population. This […]
Halo 5: Guardians is just one month away, but this is the fifth one — you’re on the Halo bandwagon or you’re not at this point. So, if you’ve got your preorder squared away and your week-long excuse for missing work perfected, it’s time to move on to the next step — the merch. Halo […]
Quick, when’s the best time to buy a video game console? Easy – right before the new version comes out.
