After teasing the reveal of Battlefield 4 for several weeks through the game’s official website, Electronic Arts and DICE have finally pulled the curtain off of the fourth installment. The destructible environments, various vehicles (be them land, sea, or air), and gorgeous visuals that fans have come to expect from the series are all present and accounted for, but it’s evident by the new 17 minute gameplay video that there have been some major overhauls to the game — all of which look to be for the better....

Fans have found an Easter egg in the Wrath of the Machine raid, consisting of the return of an old enemy that was an inside joke in the Destiny community during Year 1. It has only been a day since Destiny: Rise of Iron’s raid has been released. Wrath of the Machine was conquered just over two hours after it launched. Since then, fans have descended on the raid and have even completed it with only three players....

[HTML1] Fallout 4 may be the first title that comes to mind whenever someone mentions post-apocalyptic video games, but Mad Max – Avalanche Studios’ upcoming take on the popular film franchise – is poised to remind gamers there’s more than one option when it comes to action in the Wasteland. As a matter of fact, ever since its preview at E3 2013 a couple of years ago, fans have been clamoring to know more about what kind of characters will populate the various environments alongside “Mad” Max Rockatansky, especially after its most recent film counterpart became an explosive success at the box office this summer....

The launch of Mortal Komat 11 is less than two months away and NetherRealm Studios is ramping up the hype. Trickling out individual fighter trailers has been paused, understandable after Mortal Kombat 11’s full roster leak, and a hearty new story trailer has been released in trade. The new trailer isn’t just focused on Mortal Kombat 11’s story, however. It also confirms three roster additions: Erron Black, Cassie Cage, and Jacqui Briggs....

Florio Nature Park (Day) is the first level you encounter in New Pokemon Snap. While your initial run around this circuit might seem a bit barebones, it’s actually one of the best maps in the game - and that comes from someone who has played around 20 hours of the postgame. Like every other locale in Lental, the layout of Florio Nature Park (Day) changes several times over the course of the main story....

Even though Batman: Arkham Knight suffered from some infamous PC port problems upon its release, Rocksteady Studio’s final entry in their triptych for the World’s Greatest Detective has gone on to become a massive success.

In today’s world those born in the 1990s wear the badge of “90s kid” as a badge of honor. They were there to say “bye bye bye” with N*SYNC, they told each other why with The Backstreet Boys, and they hit that baby one more time with Brittany (don’t worry, no babies were actually hit). But one factor that stands out from the ’90s more than the fashion choices or the catchy tunes are the cartoon series....

We don’t know what games will go on sale, so you’ll just have to browse the eShop on Tuesday to find out....

Mars Horizon is out, and it’s sort of like Kerbal Space Program if you were more concerned with actually accomplishing something and not watching silly little creatures blow themselves up. The game is all about commanding your very own space agency and going from suborbital rocket hops to full interplanetary space exploration. The idea is to start with building a rocket capable of leaving Earth’s atmosphere and eventually making all the way to Mars, where your agency can build a research settlement before moving on to the next big planet....

You begin Oblivion by customizing your character. All these decisions, such as your specific skills and class, help to shape your playstyle.

After drawing the legendary Master Sword from its pedestal and taking the longest power nap in history, Sheik informs Link that his next destination should be his childhood home, the Kokiri Forest. Remember that mysterious looking entranceway in the Sacred Forest Meadow? Well, strap on your big-boy boots because it’s dungeon-exploring time.

Overwatch game director Jeff Kaplan takes to its forums to update fans on what to expect from the game’s ranked Competitive Mode when it releases this month. One reason why Blizzard is such a popular video game company is due to its communication with its community, and how it tweaks its games over time based on fan feedback - sometimes a decade or more after they release. That Blizzard dedication and fan communication was on full display in a recent forum post by Overwatch game director Jeff Kaplan, who offered fans an update on what to expect from the popular shooter moving forward....

While mourning the loss of their friend, a group of Overwatch fans decide to pay tribute to him in the game with a 12-gun salute featuring his most frequently used characters.
