Traveling the world of Red Dead II will reveal secrets about them, but some secrets about Dutch, in particular, will require a little sleuthing. Dutch is one of the smartest characters in the gang, making it easy for him to keep a secret or talk his way out of a situation. A lot of Dutch’s past is known to the player and the gang, but some parts of his past must be discovered by exploring and talking to other characters....

Redhill Games’ Nine to Five, a team-based tactical shooter from Redhill Games, has launched its open beta on Steam this weekend. The multiplayer shooter, which emphasizes tactics over twitch shooting, features three teams of three playing three-phase matches in which they must achieve an objective, which will determine their next objective.

It’s not all that rare for major video game companies to set new financial records. The past year in particular, which saw massive increases in game sales across the board due to the COVID-19 pandemic, has led to multiple publishers earning record profits in 2020. This includes developer Remedy Entertainment, which is especially impressive given that it hasn’t released a new title in almost two years. The Finnish studio has earned quite a reputation for itself throughout its 26-year history, having produced such noted games as the original Max Payne games, Alan Wake, and Quantum Break, as well as its critical 2019 hit Control....

Nic Cusworth, lead designer on Croc: Legend of the Gobbos, follows the game on Twitch. Occasionally, he likes to pop into people’s streams and chat with them about it. “I saw someone playing it the other day who called it the Dark Souls of PS1,” Cusworth tells me, laughing. “We learned a lot, we don’t make games like that anymore.” Last week, Cusworth sat down with me for a chat about the legacy of Croc over Zoom from his home office in Sheffield, England....

It’s been nearly 20 years since Pokémon Gold and Silver—the first games in the second generation of the series—hit our shelves. Whether you played these classic RPGs for the first time on Game Boy Color or the 3DS Virtual Console, you probably enjoyed them a lot! Picking up three years after the events of Pokémon Red, Blue, and Yellow, these games saw the player travel through the regions of Johto and Kanto, collecting Gym Badges and defeating Team Rocket as they went....

Ash Ketchum is undoubtedly one of the most recognizable characters of gaming history. His quick thinking and optimistic attitude make him a great icon for the Pokemon series, and his battle style showcases this through trusting his Pokemon and knowing their strengths in battle. Other times, though, he sometimes can win thanks to some unstoppable Pokemon he’s caught that don’t need his skills and personality to win battles. There are tons of overpowered competitive Pokemon that he’s included in his teams over the years, and many of them blow his other partners straight out of the water....

Pokemon GO’s next Community Day event is just a few days away, which means players are currently preparing their inventory and strategy for the Larvitar-themed event. As most Pokemon GO players know, Larvitar is incredibly important to the metagame, due to the strength of Tyranitar in battle raids. For players looking to collect the perfect Tyranitar during the special day, we’ve got a guide that should help out. Pokemon GO Community Day is a few hours long, but that’s not a lot of time when it comes to hunting down a perfect catch....

As Pokemon GO players prepare to head out for Porygon Community Day this weekend, they’ll also find some exciting changes to Battle Raids hatching in the Gyms around their local area. The late September Battle Raid rotation is here, which means players have a new Legendary to track down and battle against, in addition to some other exciting inclusions throughout the rest of the list. Trainers should keep in mind that the recent changes to Battle Raids that arrived alongside the Mega Raid launch simplified the raid tiers a bit....

Pokemon GO’s August Field Research is set to focus on Electric-themed challenges and Johto-region creatures. The quests are scheduled to rotate on the first of the month and, at that point, trainers will also be able to claim their first Pokemon GO August Research Breakthrough and start a new month of special encounters. In August, Pokemon GO players will be able to secure special encounters with Raikou every time they receive seven Field Research stamps....

Pokemon GO players who stop playing the game sometimes report receiving an email offering some sweet rewards if they decide to return to the game. These generous gifts from Niantic are meant to lure lapsed players back into the fold and get them to explore new features (like Field Research), but some players seem to have found an exploit that may earn them a “We’ve Missed You!” email, even if they haven’t stopped playing....

The latest Pokemon GO APK teardown is here and, as expected, it’s loaded with hints about what is to come during the Halloween festivities over the next few weeks. October has been jam-packed with events and exciting new features, like the mysterious new Strange Eggs, and the end of the month is sure to be full of even more excitement. Although early press releases offered lots of teasers about the features and bonuses arriving during the event, there are sure to be some surprises, as well....

Pokemon GO’s map of Pokestops and Gyms was originally almost an identical port of the points of interest from Niantic’s prior game, Ingress, but the world has changed a lot since the mobile AR experience launched. New Pokestops and Gyms have arrived and some old classics have been removed. As both games, and Harry Potter: Wizards Unite, continue to grow, Niantic has opened up more opportunities for high-level players to have a say in what spots should become new points of interest on the map....

The Pokemon TCG is a quickly-evolving card game that always has something new and exciting in store for Pokemon fans everywhere. There are new powerhouse cards that emerge every so often, like the exceptional EX and greatly-used GX cards that dominated much of the game until even more mighty card variants, such as V and VMAX, entered the fray. However, over the years, there are a few Pokemon that have remained immensely popular with fans....

People still love Bully. It was a unique take on Rockstar’s established open world formula. Instead of hunting down drug kingpins and blowing up cop cars, you had to contend with jocks, nerds, snooty teachers, and a kid who could charitably be referred to as a borderline psychopath (seriously, Gary was a bit extra.) Fans would love a Bully 2, but despite persistent rumors there’s been no sign that Rockstar is even considering a sequel....

This Prison Break review contains spoilers. Prison Break Season 5 Episode 6 There’s only so much you can do in a prison. This new season of Prison Break had the challenge of creating new ways for our team to “break out”. It may sound simple enough, but even in the original four seasons the show basically gave up having the main characters try to escape. It didn’t work. So how could they vary it up?...

With any RPG that players immerse themselves into, finding the right combination of skills, powers, and perks to go along with their created character may not be completely obvious. In Star Wars: The Old Republic, this is no exception. To assist players, BioWare has released a progression guide focusing on the Jedi Knight class, and what players should expect once they reach level 10. Most reaching this rank are likely traveling to Coruscant to join Master Orgus Din on a critical mission....

Thanks to the industry analysis provided by the market research firm known as the NPD Group, it’s well known at this point in time that the PS4 is practically doubling the sales of the Xbox One in the United States at this point. While such a feat is definitely favorable for Sony, according to the tech firm’s global sales chief, Jim Ryan, the PS4 is performing even better in Europe, as unit sales for the console are outpacing Xbox One by “at least 3-to-1....
