Final Fantasy 7’s “One-Winged Angel” track puts dread into any player’s campaign to save the world. However, a talented musician by the name of Alex Moukala made Sephiroth’s infamous theme extremely funky with a new cover. This twist to the boss battle theme has absolutely blown up on social media. At the time of writing this, the video has received 11.4K retweets and 37.7K likes on Twitter – and continues to climb....

Netflix has revealed it is working on a prequel to The Witcher set 1200 years before the main series. The Witcher has been an unmitigated hit regardless of the platform on which it has been released. The books were a hit, the video games were too, and the Netflix series has reached heights that its creators likely never imagined. In fact, the success of the show has led to the books and the games getting an additional boost....

There are many video game sequels that fans are hoping for, but Batman is one of those at the top of the list. A new installment of the Batman Arkham franchise has long been teased with cryptic announcements and a leaked title, but nothing solid has been confirmed by the developer, WB Games Montreal. With E3 cancelled for the year, it looks like the DC FanDome event could be the place for more details to be revealed about the mysterious Batman game....

Great news for fans of Don’t Starve, as a new mobile installment in the series titled Don’t Starve: Newhome, is in development. Such an announcement is long overdue since the game first released for PC in 2013. It has since had several major content updates, including making the jump from single player to multiplayer with Don’t Starve Together. The game has been positively received with its new content over the years, making the jump to mobile in 2015 with Don’t Starve: Pocket Edition for both Apple and Android devices, with all content up to the Shipwrecked DLC....

Following the recent tease that a new Mass Effect game is currently in development with BioWare, a cinematic trailer dropped at The Game Awards, which could have major implications for the series. The Mass Effect series gained major momentum this year with the slew of rumors followed by confirmation that a remastered edition of the beloved Mass Effect trilogy series will release in 2021. Not many other details are known about the upcoming remaster, other than it’s planned to be released sometime in the first half of next year....

If you’re playing New Pokemon Snap, you’ll probably already know about the game’s LenTalk request system. Essentially, Professor Mirror, Todd, Rita, and Phil are all able to send you special requests for every course in the game. Whether they want you to catch a Pokemon make a rare and random pose, or force and interaction between two ‘mons who might ordinarily stay away from one another, these requests usually involved quite a lot of quick thinking and intuition....

Veggie Village, the second world in New Super Lucky’s Tale features the same number of clovers as the first world, but spread across five levels instead of four, though the hub world has only two collectibles, as opposed to six. After completing Sky Castle, the door to the next world of the game will open for you. Upon entering, you will have a small, simple boss battle against Mr. Mittens. Simply kill the enemies that spawn and jump over any fireballs that he shoots at you and you will defeat him in a few short minutes....

Games Workshop has announced an all-new app for their tabletop wargame, Warhammer 40,000. The new Warhammer 40,000 App is set to release within the next few weeks, right about the time of the new 9th Edition launch. Apps are all the rage now for tabletop games so it should come as no surprise. What may, is the new optional subscription service. Fans have often bawled at the already expensive hobby, so any move to wrestle money from their mitts will be met with cynicism....

The latest trailer for Weird West shows off its immersive gameplay, hand-drawn textures, and what happens when you murder a random NPC. What do you get when you combine two former Arkane Studio executives, a writer for Fallout: New Vegas and Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, and subgenre of Western filmmaking that has cowboys fighting aliens and zombies? You get Weird West, the up and coming action RPM from WolfEye Studios and Devolver Digital....

Following in the footsteps of a fellow PlayStation 4 exclusive, God of War, Marvel’s Spider-Man quickly went on to become the fastest selling superhero game of all time after launching in September of last year. After getting multiple rounds of free and paid DLC content in the months that followed, players are still managing to come across hidden secrets and Easter Eggs. In fact, one was so well hidden that an Insomniac Games senior developer recently came out and revealed a subtle detail that had gone unnoticed by everyone....

Specifically, Nintendo writes, “The Joy-Con controllers included with Nintendo Switch (OLED model) are the same as the controllers currently available.” If you’re one of the thousands of people currently suffering from drift issues, that isn’t very reassuring. Lawsuits against Nintendo for Joy-Con problems are a dime a dozen these days, and it’s a bit surprising to see nothing done to address the faulty design in the upcoming product. It was also recently revealed that Switch OLED will feature the same CPU as the current models – meaning Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity will continue to suffer fps drops when the action gets a bit too hectic for the aging hardware....

The amount of content updates that No Man’s Sky gets seems to be as endless as the universe it allows you to fly through. Living Ships may not be as new as the companions, but they still offer exciting adventures and quests. The update for it dropped in February 2020 and debuted plenty of according organic tech. With it, players are now able to do something they probably never thought they wanted to before: pilot a living ship across the stars....

The growth of the crowdfunded project has allowed developers to work on games both they - and their fans - truly love. Yacht Club Games used Kickstarter to fund Shovel Knight, a love-letter to platforming of days gone by. The game shot past its backing expectations, and the final product ended up getting rave reviews, a series of award nominations and the title of Best Independent Game at the 2014 Game Awards....

In addition to its main quests and side stories, Octopath Traveler has a few optional dungeons for players to explore. One such area is the Maw of the Ice Dragon, a cave in the Southern Northreach Wilds. Despite the name, there’s no dragon living here, however, plenty of other creatures do, allowing players to quickly level up their party members. Many players find this area a great opportunity for grinding at higher levels, due to enemies that grant high EXP....

The Nintendo Switch has become a Wii U port machine, to the point where only nine first-party games from the system have yet to make the jump. The Wii U was a criminally overlooked system during its day, which meant that many quality titles never had a chance to reach the audience that they deserved. The Switch has been a runaway success since it launched in 2017, which has led Nintendo and other developers to start re-releasing old Wii U games on the Switch in improved forms....

The Bioshock series has come a long way from its home in the ruined — and ruinous — hallways of Rapture. Although Bioshock 2 saw a return to the underwater city first seen in the 2007 classic by Irrational Games, the story took to the skies with the floating city of Columbia, and beyond, in Bioshock Infinite. Aside from the DLC story of Burial at Sea, it seemed as though the city of Rapture was being left to the Splicers....

One of the biggest stories from the Microsoft E3 2017 press conference is that original Xbox games will be backward compatible with the Xbox One. But unfortunately, the company did not use its press conference to explain exactly how that would work. Thankfully the lead of marketing for Xbox, Albert Penello, has taken to social media to explain how it will work. Posting on Twitter, Penello said that much like the existing Xbox 360 backward compatibility program, the backward compatibility program for original Xbox games will also work with original Xbox game discs....
