New Pokemon Snap Might As Well Still Have Pester Balls

New Pokemon Snap was always going to make some changes compared to the original game from 1999. I mean, 22 years have passed - games look drastically different now and there are literally hundreds of new Pokemon. One feature I was particularly curious about, however, was the original Pokemon Snap’s pelting mechanic - surely that wasn’t going to fly in 2021, right? Right. You can’t just mill rock hard objects at Pokemon anymore to get a better photo....

Next Week S Microsoft And Bethesda Show Makes Me Finally Want To Buy An Xbox

As a lifelong PlayStation owner, I’ve never felt the need to get an Xbox. Apart from Fable, the main exclusives Microsoft relies on to draw people in have traditionally been Halo and Gears of War, both shooters that I could easily find decent alternatives for elsewhere. They’re both great series, mind, but they were never enough to make me hang up my DualShock and convert to the dark side. Microsoft’s recent acquisition of Bethesda, however, may finally change that - Sony is going to need more than just exclusives if it hopes to keep up....

Ninja Still Hesitant To Play With Women

Back in August 2018, Twitch streamer Tyler “Ninja” Blevins stated that he would not stream with female gamers out of respect for his wife and manager, Jessica Blevins, and to avoid the rumors that the situation could create. He received a mixed response at the time, with some arguing that he was making it more difficult for female streamers to break through in an industry and community with existing issues of misogyny, and others being more understanding of his want to protect his marriage....

No Man S Sky Steam Reviews Plummet To Overwhelmingly Negative

People are still taking to the Internet and voicing their disdain for the space exploration game, No Man’s Sky, pushing its reputation on Steam to the lowest rating. “Overwhelmingly Negative” are the reviews of No Man’s Sky from users on Steam, which will come as no surprise to anyone who has been following the game since its release two months ago.

Original Version Of Duke Nukem Forever Was Nearly Finished Sounded Pretty Great

A version of Duke Nukem Forever that was worked on in 2001 has come to light as being nearly completed before being shelved. 3D Realms, the company behind the initial releases in the Duke Nukem franchise, had gotten their 2001 version to about 90% completeness. The game would have been significantly darker and deeper than the published 2011 version. Duke Nukem Forever remains one of the longest and most tumultuous developments of a video game....

Overwatch Who Are The Most Popular Heroes

Stats from the website Master Overwatch reveal the most popular heroes in Overwatch, as well as the least popular characters for Blizzard’s first-person shooter game. Blizzard took a gamble when it decided to create a new IP instead of working on another entry in one of its many tried and true franchises, but it seems as though Overwatch has paid off. Overwatch has amassed a large fan base, with 15 million players at last count, and has proven popular enough to justify the continued development of new content for the game nearly six months after its release....

Blizzard has confirmed that the game’s next playable character is coming soon, and not only that, it’s going to be one that’s been teased for over a year now: Echo. Blizzard got the ball rolling earlier this week with a brief and cryptic teaser that hinted at Echo’s reveal.

Mortal Kombat 11 seems to be bringing a lot into the game, including three new DLC characters, a continuation of the story, a few freebies, and more. However, it also seems to be throwing a lot out the window, as Aftermath seemingly canonizes an ending that is not the “best ending.” In MK11, the best ending results in Liu Kang and Kitana reworking the future, while Aftermath seems to pick up from the good ending with Raiden aiding Liu Kang....
