Since its memorable "rebirth" back in 2013 with Guilty Gear Xrd, many fighting game fans are wondering how the series can evolve from here on out. They've got their answer, and w...

I'm only a couple more hours in before I can get lovebirds-on-a-lam Kay and Yu out of the jam they're stuck in before the eventual end.

Yes, this IS from the same devs who made Furi, ...
505 Games and indie studio have teamed up to bring back the Drawn To Life series after 11 years of hiatus and Scribblenauts nonsense that spawned from it.

Another year, another Call of Duty title. And another multiplayer PvP shooting spree to look forward to later this year.

Needless to say, Treyarch's offering - despite being only an Alpha test - was a breath of fresh air after almost te...

Skateboarding games and the name, Tony Hawk, were a synonymous pair back when the PlayStation, Nintendo 64 and Dreamcast were the prime household video game consoles. The first mainstream hit skating game to grace our consoles was Tony Hawk's Pro Skater, released in 1999. Now though, Vicarious Visions together with Neversoft has brought back a gold...

When Square Enix's Marvel Avengers was announced during E3 2019, people were wondering what the hell kind of title it was thanks to buzzwords like "live services" and "online play" thrown into the mix. Now that it's closer to the game's release month of September, we know what it is: a team-based third-person action title that developer Crystal Dyn...

Everyone and their Western RPG-loving mothers are looking forward to CD Projekt's latest sci-fi epic, Cyberpunk 2077, that's basically their version of the Shadowrun games. Which is a lovely thing.

The Gundam franchise recently celebrated its 40th-anniversary last year in 2019, having spawned an absurdly-impressive number of anime series in the past four decades. I've only ever been a fan of a select few of those (like the original Mobile Suit Gundam, Gundam 00, and Gundam Iron-Blooded Orphans), so jumping into Mobile Suit Gundam Extreme Vs. ...
