With HBO’s hit show Game of Thrones finally coming to an end, fans of the franchise are looking to further explore the world of A Song of Ice and Fire through video games. One video game in particular seems to be getting more popular thanks to Season 8 of Game of Thrones, and that is the strategy game Reign: Game of Thrones, which just recently made its way to the Nintendo Switch....
The Fire Emblem series is a perennial favorite in anime circles. This is a series that, from its inception, has traded in tropes and designs inherent to the medium - not to mention courted popular manga artists and anime studios over the years. But with the recent breakthrough success of the series in North America, thanks to games like Awakening (boo!) and Three Houses (yay!), Western fans have been left with a single question....
2020 was a pretty big year for people longing for remakes and reboots of classic games. Microsoft, for example, has revealed that both Fable and Perfect Dark are making comebacks after many years of silence. Fable and Perfect Dark are very different games, but they both have dedicated audiences who are glad to see them again. As a result, it’s great to know that original games like these are on the way for the Xbox Series X....
The long-running Pro Evolution Soccer franchise developed by Konami looks like it will be undergoing some fairly substantial changes moving forward. For one, PES no longer has some major licenses for AC Milan and FC Internazionale Milano giving long-time competing franchise FIFA a leg up. Konami has been in a fairly substantial development rut since parting ways with Metal Gear creator Hideo Kojima, but Pro Evolution Soccer has always been a consistent franchise for the developer to put out....
The PlayStation 4 has had a successful shelf-life, attracing players through its technology and exclusive games. Some would have thought that support for the console would begin to fade as the release date of the PlayStation 5 draws closer, but Sony has now released a new PS4 system software update. The console has now had software update 8.00 implemented and it brings some changes that fans were expecting as well as some surprise additions....
Sony adds 40 more games to its PlayStation Now service, including well-known titles like Killzone 2, Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception, and God of War: Chains of Olympus. Even though PlayStation 4 doesn’t currently offer the same method of backward compatibility now available on the Xbox One, PlayStation 4 owners can still play some of their favorite PlayStation 3 games through Sony’s PlayStation Now service. And according to a blog post from Sony, the service now offers 40 new games....
In the world of Pokémon, there are several characters that have played prominent roles in both the anime and the games. Misty and Brock are two examples that come to mind — they were Ash’s travel companions in the original series, but they’re also the first two gym leaders in Red, Blue, and Green (and their subsequent remakes and sequels). But, some characters are locked to just the anime or the games....
Pokémon’s original “good boy” Growlithe has been a crowd favorite since the creature first appeared in the original 151 roster of little pocket monsters. It’s hard for any other canine Pokémon to stack up to the adorable fiery four-legged tiger-striped dog. There will always be newcomers such as Yamper or legendary good boys like Raikou, Entei, and Suicune, but frankly, that’s a list of subpar doggies that don’t stack up to the loyalty and dedication of Growlithe....
When players come across each gym leader, they are provided with a completely different experience. However this isn’t only because of the Pokémon type, but the fantastic personalities that come with each leader. Some of the Kanto gym leaders are presented with a little more depth as they are more prevalent in the anime, like Brock and Misty. However, some of the best personalities are hidden within the Pokémon games, such as Lt....
The Isle of Armor brought back many Pokémon who had initially been axed from the Galar-dex in Sword & Shield’s base game. Among those returning is the Unova region’s tricky fox Pokémon, Zorua. This gen 5 Dark-type evolves into Zoroark, a glass cannon with mediocre HP and defense stats, but impressive attack and speed. Learn where to find this sly fox in the new DLC and how to best train it....
The announcement of Pokemon Legends: Arceus ignited a Pokemon fever and left fans hoping that this future game will deliver on the “Pokemon: Breath of the Wild” promise that Sword and Shield didn’t quite fulfill. The mood among most fans is best described as cautiously optimistic, as the Pokemon series comprises countless spin off titles of highly variable quality, which is to be expected with any game franchise that’s endured for 25 years....
Between GO Fest, Anniversary celebrations, and constantly rotating Raid Bosses; Pokemon GO is having a very busy summer. Trainers have a ton to do in the game and events and special activities are coming and going so quickly it’s easy to lose track of them. Today’s excitement brings another Legendary Raid Hour - this time with the focus on the powerful ground-Type Pokemon Groudon. Groudon has been around before, but the creature is very relevant in the PvE metagame, so trainers can always use another chance to get a higher IV catch....
In Pokemon GO there are a few special items that players can find that are required for the evolutions of certain species of Pokemon. One of these items is the Dragon Scale, which is a rare item that is required to evolve Seadra into Kingdra. Kingdra is a dual water and dragon-type Pokemon that requires both 100 Horsea candies and a Dragon Scale to evolve from Seadra in Pokemon GO. It is capable of learning powerful moves such as Hydro Pump and Outrage and is only weak to dragon and fairy-type moves....
Reminiscent of the mythical phoenix in more ways than one, Moltres has returned from the first generation as a five star raid in Pokemon GO. Just like the other Legendary birds, this will not be an easy fight — Moltres requires a coordinated team of highly skilled trainers to take down. If you want to make sure you’re not the weak link in your raiding party, read up on the best Moltres counters, movesets, and more before you take on this rare and powerful Pokemon....
The most recent Incense Day event in Pokemon GO was a disappointment for many trainers hoping to catch a shiny Carvanha. The game seems to have experienced a glitch that stopped many trainers from getting their hands on one of the coveted Pokemon, and people aren’t happy. Shiny Pokemon are a rare and hotly sought after catch in the game, and many players were understandably excited to have a chance to catch one during the Incense Day event....
Just when you thought the Pokémon Go craze was dying down, Nintendo has dropped the newest take on the franchise: Let’s Go Pikachu! and Let’s Go Eevee! The latest entry in the beloved monster-collecting franchise is a hybrid of the wildly popular mobile game and the classic RPG formula fans have come to know and love. Switch owners will test their skills in the Kanto region, battling to capture all 151 original Pokémon....
So Prey has managed to do what five previous attempts at a Predator sequel have failed at. In the process, it not only created a good follow up movie to Predator but also a solid template for creating many, many more Predator movies—if you were so inclined. Yet at the same time, it has also placed hard limits on what future movies can (or should) do with that concept. The Clue is in the Name The concept behind Predator was simple....
COVID-19 cases are surging across the United States. Today marks a grim milestone as the country reports over 100,000 coronavirus cases in a single day, the largest one-day increase in infections since the pandemic began. Many hospitals are reaching capacity as the second wave threatens to collapse vital healthcare infrastructure. Not wanting to add to the crisis, Sony has wisely decided to partially pull out of its own launch day celebration....
The 7th Guest co-creator Graeme Devine was once convinced that his game, designed with Rob Landeros, was a feat of the impossible prior to its release. In retrospect, Devine looks back on the puzzle adventure with fond, creative memories, whilst divulging the pop culture titles that inspired its setting. Twenty years ago, The 7th Guest was promoted as an interactive movie where players would tentatively enter the haunted Stauf mansion to discover the secrets it held....
Most multiplayer games out there are all about frenetic movement and chaotic attacks. However, Rainbow Six: Siege asks players to play with precision. The teams must communicate and go for accuracy rather than just spraying and praying. It’s a far more tactical game than most shooters out there, and it requires more care and attention to get through missions than most players might anticipate. Below is a list of the operators with the best weapons....
