PlayStation 4 Flash Sales: A Plague Tale: Innocence $34....

Grass-type Pokémon are some of the most beloved characters in the world of video games. Fire types have cooler and edgier designs, while Water types typically look more graceful. However, there’s something about the cute and natural look many Grass types have that appeals to many fans. The world of Pokémon is mysterious, and Grass types are no exception. Many live deep within forests that are too dangerous for humans to enter....

Rather than the traditional single rival, Pokémon X & Y introduced several travel companions to the series in a way that hadn’t been done before. They don’t exist for competition and instead just want to be your friends, and each has a unique team and style that isn’t just dedicated to beating you. None of these companions embody this better than Shauna, your first opponent in the game who takes the starter who’s weak to your own....

Normal-type Pokémon are usually very basic, and they don’t often have many attributes that fans would consider terrifying. However, there are some scary Normal-types in the franchise that most Pokémon fans don’t want to acknowledge because of how weird and dangerous they are. A few examples of these horrifying Normal-types are Zangoose and Vigoroth, which are both able to use their sharp claws to cut enemies. There are also some less traditional Normal-type Pokémon that have terrifying abilities such as Jigglypuff, with its ability to put any person or Pokémon to sleep against their will....

In the Pokémon series, critters can generally be divided into one of a few categories: the speedy glass cannons, the super slow bulky ones and those that are just plain average. Throw in the downright terrible Pokémon like Luvdisc, and you’d be surprised how many of the huge number of different species can be neatly categorised in this way. What of the powerful Ground-type Mudsdale and its pre-evolution Mudbray? Well, you might be surprised by just what this evolution line is capable of....

His unique talents and personality are what make him stand out from other characters in the game. This list compiles several fan art pieces together that any fan of Sophocles has to see. They use a variety of artistic styles and mediums that bring this character to life on a new level....

It only shows living in the Pokémon world can be a sick and twisted thing with many dangers around every corner. From getting your soul captured by Pokémon trainer for eternal servitude and Pokeball isolation to constantly watching your shadow to make sure you aren’t the one turning into a Pokémon....

Game Freak has released The Isle of Armor, the first major expansion of Pokémon Sword & Shield. The DLC offers a new Battle Tower, a storyline with unique characters, and an exciting Wild Area that puts the one in the base game to shame. The region has a Pokédex with over 200 entries, with approximately half of those consisting of returning Pokémon from yesteryear. The Isle of Armor includes Pokémon from each generation, giving fans of all eras something t0 get excited about....

Pokemon GO players have a ton to accomplish this month, whether they are playing from home or are back out in their old communities. The mobile game is running an event nearly every week and the end of June is jam-packed with the upcoming Community Day, the Solstice Event, and wrapping up with another Bug-Out! event that will make Incense very useful. When the Bug-Out event arrives in Pokemon GO later this month, there are going to be some very exciting features for players to take advantage of....

Pokemon Legends: Arceus looks to be the Pokemon experiment fans have requested for years. It places players in a gorgeous open world with what looks to be real-time combat. The name suggests a greater focus on story, and perhaps some actual lore behind Pokemon’s creator god. But perhaps its most daring element is its starter trio. Rowlet, Oshawott, and Cyndaquil? Is it legal to mix gens like that? This blatant disregard for tradition might just be its most exciting feature....

Polygon has recently wrapped up a massive charity event, ending an extended Twitch stream by meeting its goal to raise money for criminal justice advocacy organization Innocence Project. This three day charity streaming event involved a number of different staff members from Polygon coming together and playing different titles like Jackbox Party Pack and Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity, while the chat watched and donated. The cause that Polygon was supporting through the Twitch livestreams is the Innocence Project, which can still be donated to through the connected Tiltify campaign website....

It’s hard to say whether the world is healing from the coronavirus pandemic. Mostly because the usual events that we’ve come to mark our calendars with haven’t really returned and vaccines seem to be having trouble keeping up with the new strains that are emerging from places like South Africa and Brazil. So it looks like the new normal–at least for now–is virtual events. We’ve already got a virtual E3 planned for later in June, and now The Pokemon Company is moving ahead with its virtual celebration of a quarter-century of Pokemon....

Video game culture has evolved over time and has gotten more inclusive, which is always a positive sign of growth. Much like anything popular these days, video games are also subject to memes, which is the current gold standard for pop culture communication. It can’t be helped, certain video game moments are simply hard to forget. Some of them are just downright hilarious while others, like Dark Souls’ “Praise the Sun” mantra illustrates one of the game’s redeeming qualities and breakthrough scenarios....

Resident Evil Village was revealed earlier last month, but only a vague release window was provided, specifying its release sometime in the year 2021. Given past patterns regarding revelation trailers and release dates for Resident Evil games in the first quarters, there is a strong possibility that Resident Evil 8 may break with the norms and release at a later date. Resident Evil games traditionally lean towards first quarter release dates, though it is not always the case, and Resident Evil 8 may defy these norms....

Professor Genki is back to give gamers another taste of the Saints Row: The Third universe, this time showcasing his ultra-wacky reality competition. The ‘Super Ethical Reality Climax’ is a winner-take-all arena — much like you would find in tons of video games — but with some extreme twists thrown in. Part of what makes Saints Row: The Third so exciting is its crazy scenarios, but that isn’t where the buck stops....

A slew of games were shown off during the PS5’s reveal event stream last summer. Tons of new and exciting sequels like God of War: Ragnarok and Horizon Forbidden West were announced, but several brand new games were showcased as well. Square Enix would later steal this game’s spotlight with the reveal of Final Fantasy 16 in September, but before that, the publisher had revealed a brand new IP: Project Athia....

Microsoft’s E3 presentation has come and gone, revealing that project Scorpio is actually the Xbox One X. The world premiere trailer for the Xbox One X was a delightfully hokey piece of marketing, filled to the brim with technological cliches like zooming, circuit-bound lights and rising arm hair. Luckily right after that came the Microsoft presentation which was a little more tame and much more informative. After months of speculation, Microsoft finally revealed that Project Scorpio (a name that only a Bond villain could come up with) will actually be called the Xbox One X, a logical leap down the alphabet from the already existent Xbox One S....

Brace yourselves. Three months into the PS5’s lifecycle and enough people have reported DualSense drift that it appears to be becoming an issue. Since the PS5 launched back in November of last year, its innovative DualSense controller has been nothing but celebrated. Xbox has even asked its users whether they would like to see some of its features brought to its own platforms. It now appears as if the honeymoon period is over....

The limited-time mode (LTM) and various in-game events are becoming a staple for the battle royale industry, which is one reason why PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds has brought the month-long Mission: Impossible event to its mobile version. Now, the PC version is getting another LTM in the form of Dodgebomb, a chaotically-explosive event that begins tonight, Aug 9th, at 7 pm PST and ends Aug 12, 7 pm PST. This latest PUBG event sees players drop on Erangel in three 10-person teams, armed only with 20 frag grenades, a Molotov, level 3 gear, and a frying pan....

PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds was one of the first battle royale titles to make it big, and the game continues to see updates that add and refine content. At the end of July, PUBG Season 8 officially released on consoles and Google Stadia with a remastered Sanhok map, and today its developers announced Update 8.2 will be coming before the end of August with new weapons and features, updated map elements, and more....
