New Pokemon Snap is already slated to arrive in April of this year, leaving plenty of room for more Pokemon content later on....
With PAX East generating industry buzz this weekend and E3 coming up so soon, a big rumor about another price cut for the PlayStation 3 has caught our eye. The console is already holding steady at $249 for the 160 gigabyte model, but one analyst claims that the PS3 may drop in price even more come E3 this year. It hasn’t been that long since the PS3 received a price drop to $249, and with Sony’s president confirming that there would be no announcement of a new system at E3 this year, Sony may need a trump card if they are going to wow non-mobile gamers at the convention and boost hardware sales....
Some people consider Final Fantasy 8 to be the black sheep of the series, and while the combat tweaks in this title might not resonate with some, people who manage to grasp this system will be able to enjoy one of the greatest JRPGs of all time. The story of Final Fantasy 8 is especially riveting, with some of the most hard-hitting moments in the series. 13 Laguna’s Desire To Protect His Family “Oh, please let it be this room when I wake up!...
Rainbow Six fans have been waiting a while for Rainbow Six: Quarantine. Ubisoft teased the co-op tactical zombie shooter during E3 2019, only for it to be delayed by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. The planned 2020 release date came and went, but the project is far from abandoned. It now appears that Ubisoft will soon begin testing for Rainbow Six: Quarantine. Fans who signed up for the closed beta recently began to receive clandestine invites to participate in a technical demo for an unnamed game....
The Nintendo 64 era looked like a time where Nintendo wasn’t afraid to take risks and the variety in console designs is an example of that. From a variety of translucent colors to editions featuring popular video game characters, the N64 had one of the most varied and striking console designs. It feels like an era in video game history where Nintendo was all about expressionism and making a powerful piece of work....
Pocket Dimensions are a new addition to the franchise in Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart, owing to the power of the PS5 and the rifting, dimensional themes. They’re basically mini levels within levels, and here we’ll tell you where to find them and how to complete each level. Each Pocket Dimension contains armour, but not every piece of armour is hidden inside a Pocket Dimension. For that reason, you should check out Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart - Armour Guide if you want to find the rest....

The Stage Builder mode in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate was originally released to much fanfare and quickly became an avenue for players to create levels based on popular memes, along with attempts to sneak phallic imagery into a Nintendo game. The popularity of the Stage Builder mode has diminished, but there are still some fans who put a lot of effort into their stages. One stage in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate that has been praised by the fanbase (via Event Hubs) is called “Iwata & Reggie” and shows the two beloved former Nintendo executives based on their poses from the 2014 Nintendo E3 Digital Event (with their frowns turned into smiles), where they were shown fighting as if they were video game characters....
Our quick take Renault Megane 2016 - 3.5 / 5 Renault Megane 2016 review: Part of the family Renault Megane review: Engine options Renault Megane 2016 review: Short drive, long drive Renault Megane 2016 review: Uptown funk Renault Megane 2016 review: Screen masquerade To recap The new Megane goes big on design and big on tech. We like the looks, but are less convinced about the on-screen stuff. It has some pleasing qualities - not least its refined and relaxed nature - but no true standout or wow aspect....
Several Asian retail sites are listing the English version of Persona 5 Scramble: The Phantom Strikers, possibly hinting at an announcement of the game finally heading west, and possibly sooner than expected. Some store listings indicate that the English version of Persona 5 Scramble: The Phantom Strikers will launch at the tale end of February next year on the PS4 and Nintendo Switch. The discovery comes weeks after a financial report by Koei Tecmo had no mention of Persona 5: Scramble on the company’s listing, leading to some fans believing an English version was in dire straights or not being worked on at the moment....

When Epic Games announced that Fortnite would be getting a Battle Royale game mode, the comparisons to PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds were instantaneous. With both games now offering 100 player, PvP gameplay, many wondered how Battlegrounds would be able to fend off this new challenge. It seems that the comparisons have not gone unnoticed by the PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds’ (PUBG) team either, as today, developer Bluehole sent out a press release criticizing Epic Games over its Fortnite update....
Although PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds released for PC via Steam’s Early Access service back in March of this year, it seems as if the battle royale game has been in the beta program for nearly an eternity.

As seen in the tweet below from the official PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds Twitter account, the servers are going to be offline for several hours starting at 4:00 PM PST and ending around 11:00 PM PST to prep for the shift from Early Access title to full-fledged game....

With its release, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Campaign Remastered has injected fans with a nostalgia for its classic gameplay. However, the fact that the fan-favorite multiplayer will not be remastered is not currently the most contentious issue. According to Activision, Modern Warfare 2 Campaign Remastered will not be released for the PlayStation in Russia. While the publisher did not give an explicit reason for this decision, it is more than likely because of the No Russian mission, which centered around a mass shooting perpetrated by Russian terrorists and the player....

Fighting-type Pokémon are often seen in the franchise inside of dojos and Fighting-type gyms, training with their human trainers. Fighting-types are powerful in a way that many other types are not in the way that they can use abilities involving their limbs to defeat enemies swiftly and with precision. A lot of Fighting-type Pokémon aren’t three evolution Pokémon, which means that there is room for them to get a final evolution....
Ah, the grass starter. The other Baldwin brother of the starter trios. More often than not, the grass starter is thought of as the worst or most boring of any given starter trio, but that really is not deserved. While they might not look like the fantastic powerhouses that fire types tend to be, or the sleek and cool water type starters, grass starters are technical and interesting. There is more to them than meets the eye when it comes to these grass-type Pokémon....
