Red Dead Redemption 2 allows players to live out their cowboy fantasies to the max. From doing criminal deeds to get rich, going on the run from the law, and starting plenty of drunken bar fights, the game seems true to the action of popular cowboy films. One important cowboy activity that isn’t explained much in the game, however, is how to duel. Duels in Red Dead Redemption 2 usually come in the form of mission objectives....

Just Cause players, it turns out, are highly capable of some very comedic chaos. This was proven most recently by a Just Cause 4 player who managed to get hit by an airplane in mid-air while performing a bombing run. A video posted to Reddit by user Rooonaldooo99 illustrated this very event. The player had been minding their own business as protagonist Rico Rodriguez, just carpet-bombing a bridge in order to stop an apparent convoy, when an airplane disrupted the entire operation by striking Rico in mid-air....

Goro Akechi has never stopped being a divisive character for Persona 5 players, with him very much falling into the ’love him or hate him’ category. It makes it that less surprising that he would be trending around Twitter with the hashtag #GoodbyeGoro. This recent hashtag however has nothing to do with Akechi’s words and actions during the events of Persona 5. Rather, it is due to a recent fan-made poll where Persona fans can vote on their favorite characters throughout the Persona series....

When it comes to Peter Molyneux, creator of Black and White and the man behind the popular Fable series, there is no shortage of good ideas. Once known for making outlandish promises that never came to fruition, Molyneux has learned to mitigate his enthusiasm for a feature or a mechanic until testing has proven it feasible. Unfortunately, with Fable 3, Molyneux hyped and made Lionhead put so much effort into a feature — being able to level your character on the ‘Road to Rule’ — that it ended up distracting from important development duties like refining the final product....

PlatinumGames is making a brand new in-house engine to power its next generation of high-speed action games. It’s hard to think of a game developer that’s been more successful at making action-packed titles than PlatinumGames. Bayonetta, Vanquish, NieR: Automata, and Astral Chain are all great examples of what PlatinumGames has been able to achieve all on their own. Much of that success can be owed to their insistence in using their own game engine developed in-house, but that engine is starting to show its age....

When it comes to competitive battling in the Pokémon series, it’s next to impossible to win if you don’t give your Pokémon a held item, as they are often the difference between success or defeat and allow your team to perform at their best. In a standard run through the game, however, some items that are amazing in competitive battles are less than ideal and can easily be wasted by accident....

Pokemon GO players are just a few short days away from the August Community Day weekend event, so everyone has Eevee on the mind.

Back in March of this year, many parts of the world were plunged into lockdown. Told to stay at home unless they absolutely needed to leave the house, whether that be for essential work or to buy groceries. That posed a problem for Niantic and Pokemon Go. Ever since Pokemon Go first launched in 2016, it has been all about getting people out of the house and playing the game together....
