With a lengthy campaign and unique Enoch planet setting, People Can Fly’s Outriders surely hides a lot of references and easter eggs players have only begun to discover.

The much-anticipated Overwatch 2 is inching closer to release, but Blizzard still has some stage-setting to do. To that end, Overwatch has just received another update, and it’s one that’s sure to be of interest to fans of sneaky archer Hanzo.

I’ve always known of Sega’s cult classic rail shooter series Panzer Dragoon, but have never had the opportunity to play them myself. With the recent news that the next Panzer Dragoon game is coming to VR this year, it was the perfect time for Panzer Dragoon: Remake to surprise release on the Nintendo Switch eShop. Coming into the series fresh, it’s clear why the series is so beloved. Fans of the series will appreciate this faithful remake of the original Panzer Dragoon with updated visuals, unfortunately, the less enthusiastic will be turned off by the abysmal price-to-game-length ratio and lack of modern features....

In the case of Paper Mario, we’re of course talking about Diamond Island....

Ever since pre-release marketing for Mortal Kombat 11 began, fans have been asking for one character more than any other. So much so, in fact, that series co-creator Ed Boon has frequently trolled fans over the character, posted memes about the character, and effectively tormented fans over the character: Mileena. From simple memes on his social media to actual mentions of Mileena in the Terminator DLC, it seems fans keep asking and keep getting, well, not Mileena....

The announcement of Mortal Kombat 11: Aftermath, the new expansion for the popular fighting game, revealed a variety of new details.

Netflix’s adaptation of the anime classic Cowboy Bepop was currently well into production last year before the main star John Cho suffered a knee injury on set in October. The crew had already began filming in Auckland, but there has been no official date to resume, especially after COVID-19 halted productions everywhere. Cowboy Bebop follows Spike Spiegel, a prior hitman of the illegal Red Dragon Syndicate in the year 2071. The events of the show occur after a hyperspace gateway incident rendered the Earth unsuitable for civilization, forcing humanity to flee to other planets in the solar system on-board a spaceship called Bebop....
Aesthetics are nice, but when most designers create riffs on today’s standard gaming controllers - most often the Xbox 360 gamepad and PS3 Dualshock 3 - ergonomics and functionality tend to take precedent over elaborate decoration and fancy button designs. Don’t tell that to eBay user “trioxin_kustoms”. They’re the seller of this rustic masterpiece of an Xbox 360 controller mod pictured above, hand-aged and painted, and intended as an homage to to the wooden and brass furnishings of the 1940s (back when video game controllers were made by men and built to last, dammit!...

PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds, or PUBG, can be credited with really kickstarting interest in the battle royale craze, directly influencing the likes of Call of Duty: Warzone and Fortnite. And while it may not be quite as big as it once was, the original PUBG battle royale remains popular, and soon it seems fans will have some fresh experiences in the PUBG universe to look forward to playing.

Fortnite has managed to remain one of the biggest titles in the battle royale genre through its unique building mechanics and crossover events. Most of the events in Fortnite tie into a cinematic promotion and it seems to be a successful tactic as it has been repeatedly utilized.

The upcoming Playtonic Games-developed title Yooka-Laylee shows off footage from a never-before-seen world called Capital Cashino, and it looks like a ton of fun. On the surface, Yooka-Laylee may seem like just another cutesy video game, albeit one that gets its name from a clever play on words and that has shown off some pretty impressive graphics in past sneak peeks. Anyone who sinks their hands in a little deeper, however, will see that the forthcoming title from Playtonic Games and Team17 appears to promise an incredibly immersive and entertaining gameplay experience....
Yoko Taro, the mind behind the Nier franchise, is known for creating twisty plots which keep players guessing until the very last moment.
