After a Reddit user reported that Rockstar’s new game’s title is Red Dead Retribution, internet sleuths manage to prove that the claim as nothing more than a hoax. Ever since Rockstar tweeted out that red teaser image yesterday, many fans have immediately taken the picture as a sign that Red Dead Redemption 2 is finally coming. Since the image contains nothing more than the Rockstar logo and a red background, some gamers have decided to dig into the source code of Rockstar’s website in an attempt to glean more information....

Few franchises have achieved quite as high regard as Atlus’ Persona series, so much so that it practically overshadows the Megami Tensei series it spins off from. With the recent release of Persona 5: Royal bringing the role-playing games back to the forefront, Japanese perfume company Primaniacs has announced new scents being released for a handful of Atlus’ games. At the forefront of this release is a scent based on Kasumi Yoshizawa, one of Persona 5 Royal’s playable characters....

Now that developer IO Interactive is an independent studio, it seems the company is celebrating its independence by making the first episode of Hitman available to anyone for free across all platforms. The news comes by way of a new Hitman trailer that shows Agent 47 in action and invites everyone to experience the challenge and enjoyment of a master assassin. The best part about the free offer is that it isn’t a limited time event....

For a pair of consoles we may not even get a chance to play for another 2-3 years, there’s a pile of news coming regarding development and release dates for the PlayStation 4 and Xbox 720. Yesterday came news from industry insiders that Sony developers are working away on games for the PS4 and that the Xbox 720, apparently dubbed the Xbox Next, will see a full unveiling at E3 2013 with potential fall 2013 release....

If there’s one female character that marked my childhood, it’s Misty. I’m sure most of you are familiar with the Water Pokémon Master, and if you aren’t, I highly recommend you watch the first few seasons of Pokémon. You’re in for a treat, trust me. The Pokémon franchise is one of those series that just stays with you no matter how old you get. Most of us grew up with the series....

Pokémon GO is holding its very first Incense Day this weekend. Here are all the Pokémon whose spawn rates will be increased during the event and when to expect them. Incense Day will debut on Sunday, April 19. The event will run between 11 am and 5 pm, during which a pack of three incense will cost just one Pokécoin.

The amount of money players were spending on Pokémon GO shot up as soon as most of the world went into lockdown. In many ways, the video game industry will have experienced something of a boom over the course of the past three months. Not only are gamers stuck at home playing more, and maybe trying out titles they wouldn’t have previously considered, lapsed and non-gamers will have also picked up a controller to pass the time....

Players around the world have been traversing the Kantō region once again (with an adorable Pokémon at their side) in the new Pokémon: Let’s Go, Pikachu! and Pokémon: Let’s Go, Eevee! since their release last week. As is the norm in the main series Pokémon games, you must choose which version you wish to play… Unless you plan to get both, in which case go for it – I won’t stop you!...

There are many powerful movesets that can be utilized for the starter Greninja; however, some of them are also absolutely terrible. Although this Pokemon is quite strong in terms of stats, it does have some moves that are bad and should never be used in battle with another trainer. Movesets are an important thing for a Pokemon, and here you will see the best for Greninja. Without further ado, here are awesome movesets for the Water-type starter Pokemon....

As this weekend’s Pokemon GO Global Challenge event kicks off in Germany and players around the world watch anxiously to see which rewards are being unlocked, the community of Pokemon GO players at the event are busy catching everything in sight.

Spring is just a few days away and Pokemon GO trainers are likely looking forward to a break from the cold weather and the chance to get back outdoors and playing the game around their communities once again. Although there are already a ton of events announced for the Season of Legends and the closing weeks of March, it sounds like trainers in India are getting yet another activity added to their agenda to help celebrate the Festival of Colors....

Many fans of Pokemon also think back fondly Warner Brothers’ Looney Tunes. That’s why the “Poketoon” video released yesterday on Pokemon Kids TV is sure to pluck a few nostalgic heart strings. The cartoon itself follows the Merrie Melodies/Looney Tunes style to a T. The Pokemon Company made a great choice choosing a Scraggy as their main character, as he constantly has to work to keep his skin “pants” up. He may not be in the top 10 funniest Pokemon, but he is certainly close....

The next FMV game from director Sam Barlow finally has a title. Announced as the grand finale during Future Game Show, Immortality is scheduled to release in 2022.

Like previous games Her Story and Telling Lies, Immortality will be murder mystery FMV game with live-action performances....

Since launch in 2013, the PS4 has consistently beaten the Xbox One in terms of sales suggesting that Sony is doing something right. But despite the figures (the most recent tally was 20 million PS4 units sold) showing how much the console is outpacing its rival, some PlayStation fans feel that the Xbox One is leading the pack in one particular area: system updates. Every single month, almost without fail, the Xbox One gets a brand new update....

Sony marketing boss Eric Lempel reveals PlayStation 4 outsold Xbox One during November 2015, and saw the biggest month ever for PlayStation Store digital sales. After announcing the PlayStation 4 outsold the Xbox One during Black Friday, it looks like Sony has another reason to celebrate. The company’s flagship console claimed the entire month of November, maintaining its lead over Microsoft’s current-gen console. Considering Xbox One won last November, many thought the Xbox One would claim the mark in 2015 thanks to the recent addition of the New User Experience and backward compatibility....

The Sony PlayStation 4 might very well be beating Microsoft’s Xbox One in the ongoing “resolutiongate” debate, but even the most passionate PlayStation fan had trouble defending Sony’s decision to omit MP3 and CD playback functionality from the next-gen Sony entertainment platform. As usual, the internet became rife with speculation regarding Sony’s possible motives for dropping such easily implemented support for the most popular physical and digital music formats on the planet - with many giving the evil eye to Sony’s Music Unlimited subscription service....

No release date for the sequel was announced, nor was there any mention of which platforms would be receiving the follow-up title. Head of Rain Games Peter W. Meldahl revealed in the website post that a second installment had been “rattling at the back of my mind for 6 years,” and admitted that he had kept some of his best ideas for Teslagrad 2 whilst working on other games....

Throughout the internet and online gaming, toxicity within any community is an issue in need of constant attention. Whether it be to curb derogatory approach or simply inappropriate language, those behind the wheel of monitoring users always have a tough job in front of them. In respect to Ubisoft, many of their online games are treated with a live service model, meaning their player bases tend to hang around much longer than the average game already....
