Most of us have incredibly fond memories of playing Pokémon as kids. Be it watching the anime, playing – or collecting – the trading card game or playing the video games, Pokémon has been a huge part in many of our lives from an early stage. In all this time, we’ve all grown attached to certain Pokémon from our youth. We all have our favourites, and some of us still go out of our way to get these guys in our parties to this day – years after they were first introduced....

Earlier this year, Capcom revealed that Monster Hunter World: Iceborne, a forthcoming expansion to the smash hit monster hunting game from 2018, will release on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One this September.

The pandemic has been a wet blanket on the the movie industry for months now, dousing any enthusiasm for stepping outside for a trip to a theater. To put it simply — the big screen wasn’t worth the risk of catching COVID-19. That doesn’t mean there isn’t a craving for the experience and the response to the anime movie Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba the Movie Mugen Train is proof of that....

DOOM is one of the most influential games of all time, helping to pioneer the first-person shooter genre while inspiring an untold number of clones. The franchise spawned by that original game continues to this day with titles like Doom Eternal, but fans also still churn out their own creations such as a recent DOOM mod inspired by Mel Brooks’ Spaceballs. One clever use of DOOM 2 was published to the website Mod DB on July 30 by DevHour Games’ co-owner and designer Chris Baracani: A nearly 1-to-1 recreation of the National Videogame Museum in Frisco, Texas that interested fans can download and explore now....

Presented by the New York Videogame Critics Circle and co-hosted by former president and COO of Nintendo of America Reggie Fils-Aimé, the video game awards ceremony will play out a bit differently this year. In previous years, such an event would be met with anticipation from fans and the gaming industry alike, all of whom would attend these ceremonies in person....

Nier is an amazing franchise with very nuanced storytelling and a groundbreaking game that was underappreciated when first released.

Although it was pretty hard to miss the intense Twitter spat, for those who didn’t catch it, this week saw a major fallout between xQc, Dr Lupo, Ninja, and Alinity following accusations that major streamers were accepting sponsorships to hold huge charity broadcasts.

With every new update, No Man’s Sky becomes more like the game many thought it would be when it launched four years ago. Hello Games has taken major steps to improve the game from its underwhelming debut with a consistent stream of updates, which has culminated in today’s release of No Man’s Sky’s Origins update, one of its biggest to date. It’s so big, in fact, that the game’s version number has been pushed up to 3....

Outriders is shaping up to be one of the more exciting games of 2020’s Holiday season. Those who are wary of live service games can take solace in the fact that Outriders isn’t one, at least according to developer People Can Fly.

Players can just focus on using the game’s four classes to their fullest without worrying if the best stuff will be saved for later....

The Overwatch team sure knows how to kick off an event in style, judging by the three huge reveals that game director Jeff Kaplan has made to the game’s fans so far. As he took to the stage, Jeff was joined by the iconic voice of Reinhardt, Darin De Paul, who introduced a brand new Blizzard cinematic following the German Crusader’s origins back in Eichenwalde. This time round, the spectacular Overwatch animation lasts for a little over seven minutes and features a flashback to when Reinhardt and his mentor Balderich von Adler fought their final battle together back in the German castle town....

Overwatch could get a character and a map based on every region in the world, according to the game’s principal designer Geoff Goodman. The most recently introduced character to the game is Orisa, a quadruped robot that was made in Numbani, in Africa. In an interview, Goodman describes Overwatch’s first year as “amazing” and describes the response from fans as “way more than what we could have even asked for,” especially the response from fans all over the globe....

Before last year, Overwatch used to allow players to pick any number of characters from any class in a competitive setting. Teams could be composed of anything: four Damage-dealers and two Tanks, all Supports — anything. However, this freedom resulted in overpowered teams like three tanks and three supports dominating competitive matches. So Overwatch’s devs enacted the 2-2-2 role lock, which prevents players from creating teams with more than two of the same class on them....
