Although modern sports titles offer shockingly authentic gameplay and stunning visual quality, it goes without saying that a lot of fans look at their retro equivalents as being considerably better. The original Madden games are often touted as being far more fun than the franchise’s current annual offerings, while fans have often cited NBA games as getting more and more frustrating as the years press on. However, It seems the NHL franchise might potentially be trying to offer fans the best of both worlds this year, with a new listing on Gematsu referring to an as of yet unannounced remaster titled NHL 94 Rewind....

The highly anticipated action role-playing game Nioh 2,was recently released and it’s still one of the toughest games available on the market this year. In fact, it could rival even great and challenging games such as Sekiro or Bloodborne in terms of sheer difficulty! And as such, players - both new and old - will need to prepare themselves vehemently for the tasks to come. Getting the right gear, knowing the proper buffs and debuffs needed to vanquish a foe, and even some other details hidden in the game will be needed....

The Oculus Rift is seen by many as the most exciting step in gaming for years, with the virtual reality headset having wowed gamers and tech fans with its promise of an immersive gameplay experience. Not only that, but there have already been some enticing projects using the Rift: a software development company was able to recreate South Park in VR, whilst a collaboration with Samsung could give the public a first taste of VR via a headset made in partnership ....

The OWL community is banding together to support the esports apparel brand ULT and its Doodle Collection release that carries an important message. The Overwatch merchandise enters its second release that aims to unite gamers and promote an important sense of togetherness within the league. ULT premiered their Doodle Collection on June 20th, including an OWL Doodle Hoodie ($69.99), Doodle Picket Tee ($34.99) and Doodle Hat ($37.99). The hand-drawn, limited edition clothing items sold out within 24 hours of its initial release, sparking an immediate second wave of sales with a time limit....

Monster Hunter World continues to be incredibly successful for Capcom. Not only is the base game selling ridiculously well (becoming Capcom’s highest-selling title of all time), but DLC expansion Iceborne is also climbing the ranks. Just today, the company confirmed that Iceborne has shipped over five million units across all platforms. That puts it right up there with other heavy hitters from the developer. Another milestone that Monster Hunter has achieved is shipping over 62 million cumulative units across the entire series....

Star Wars has been letting us down on the video game front in recent years. Kinect Star Wars was not a good game. On the MMO side, Star Wars Galaxies no longer exists and its replacement in The Old Republic is losing subscribers and running servers with very low player counts. There are the LEGO Star Wars games… but they’re LEGO Star Wars games. What happened with X-Wing Alliance, Rogue Squadron, Jedi Knight, Battlefront, etc....

Hubble, bubble, toil and trouble, our Witcher 3 hype has just about doubled. With a prospective appearance at Gamescom 2013 now only a short spell away, albino anti-hero Geralt of Rivia has returned to the web to mete out some swift CGI justice. Initially hidden behind an inexplicable countdown clock (the timer’s 11am [Pacific] finale appears to have been pushed up considerably), the ‘Killing Monsters’ cinematic trailer for The Witcher 3 displays Geralt at both his most merciful and malicious....

The new Borderlands 3 seasonal event has just started and comes with a large dose of ’80s nostalgia. Revenge of the Cartels will be running from April 23 until June 4 and features new baddies, new locations, and new loot. In other words, more of the same, but with brighter colors. The new Villa Ultraviolet location is the highlight of the event. You’ll have to find your way there and take down the cartel boss, Joey Ultraviolet....

After you make your way through Founja Jungle, you’ll simultaneously gain access to Sweltering Sands and Blushing Beach. It doesn’t matter which order you visit these new areas in, although it’s worth noting that you won’t get access to Blusing Beach (Night) until a fair bit later on in the story, whereas Sweltering Sands (Night) is unlockable as soon as you level up the daytime version. Regardless of which order you travel to these locations in, Sweltering Sands is a mandatory level and is teeming with loads of great Pokemon....

With this year being the 25th anniversary of the Tomb Raider series, many fans naturally hoped that Crystal Dynamics would have a major game release planned for 2021, besides the Tomb Raider Reloaded mobile game. Bad news: that’s not going to happen. Good news: Crystal Dynamics has stated that the next mainline entry will unify the reboot trilogy with the original timeline of games made by Core Design, the studio that originally created the series....

Sources say that high profile Mixer streamers like Ninja and Shroud took huge buyouts from Microsoft in the range of $10-$30 million. Microsoft’s announced today that they will be shutting down Mixer and transitioning all of their streaming partners over to Facebook Gaming. The news comes as quite a shock to many, including, apparently, Mixer staff and streamers. While many are left in a lurch, Mixer’s biggest talents Ninja and Shroud are reportedly set to receive huge financial windfalls from the closure....

The inevitable fan-favorite map makes a colorful ’80s-style return. After a bit of a rocky start, Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War has its first content update coming, with a sweet week-long double XP event to boot! Nuketown has appeared in every single Black Ops version of Call of Duty, so it’s a map that was expected to come at some point during the game’s lifespan. But it coming this early is a pleasant surprise....

When Obsidian’s upcoming RPG The Outer Worlds was announced in late December, fans were quick to draw comparisons between what was shown in the reveal trailer and what we all love about the Fallout series. The games do seem to share some similar qualities, and project co-director Tim Cain recently explained in an interview with Game Informer that both of these IPs are so alike because he infuses so much of his own personality into his work....

The brilliant Octopath Traveler proves that an old genre can still learn new tricks. Many aspects of the title are reminiscent of the classic Final Fantasy games of old (such as the iconic Final Fantasy VI), but with the polished sheen of a modern game engine and many other features. One holdover from its roots is its difficulty: An ill-equipped party is bound to despair in one of the game’s many dungeons and boss encounters....

The Oculus Quest has proven itself to be an extremely popular VR headset, especially due to its unique ability to be used wirelessly. Its popularity has made it difficult to find one, but now it appears that getting ahold of one could be even more difficult, if not impossible. The Oculus Quest released just last year, providing a full-fledged VR gaming experience without the need for a gaming PC. The headset quickly became a hot commodity, disappearing from store shelves and being resold at exorbitant prices, with demand increasing even further with the COVID-19 pandemic raging....

It’s widely known that Dark Souls has established itself as one of the most atmospherically memorable series of all time. From the grimdark flits of its horizon to the imposing motley ruins that struggle to stand beneath it, no part of Lordran can be deemed unworthy of remark. Some areas, however, are far more enduring. Perhaps the most singularly striking locale of the inaugural Dark Souls game is Anor Londo, over which a perpetually setting sun looms large....

Overwatch fans have been waiting for this moment since the named first dropped, and speculation has been hot about whether the team-based shooter’s next hero would be Doomfist. Fans were right this time around, as the Public Test Realm has added Doomfist to the game, and an animated origins story was thrown up on the title’s official YouTube channel. The origin story video isn’t the typical 3D animated short we’ve seen from Blizzard in the past, as it’s instead something more along the lines of the show Avatar....

Blizzard Entertainment has updated Overwatch’s Public Test Region servers, adding the ability to respawn basketballs within player spawn rooms, among other quality of life improvements. The new update also allows players to add new voice lines to their communication wheels. The wheels were previously restricted to standard phrases like “Hello” and “My ultimate is charging.” These phrases are incredibly useful for those who play Overwatch without a microphone. For example, the wheel was a quick and easy way of letting your team know you needed healing or wanted to group up....
