Distinguished by gorgeous watercolor rainbow art and a distinctive ‘A’ symbol, six Pokémon are part of the initial wave of these highly sought-after cards. Though the six do vary in terms of strategic offerings, all Amazing Rares are subject to the following: they are Legendary or Mythical Pokémon, Basic, and require three different types of Energy to use all of their attacks....

Pokemon fan suggests a new take on the franchise’s fossils for future games. Fossils have been a part of Pokemon games ever since the very first generation. In Red and Blue, you win a fossil for defeating a train in Mt. Moon. You are tasked with choosing between the Dome Fossil or the Helix Fossil. The former will eventually land you with a Kabuto, and the latter with an Omanyte. Trainers will also come across Old Amber which can be revied and transformed into an Aerodactyl....

Pokemon Go has been a huge success as the mobile game has enabled players to search for and catch Pokemon for themselves. The game initially encouraged players to explore their surrounding area but Pokemon Go has managed to adapt to the challenges of COVID-19 and the title is still doing well despite a global pandemic. However, despite the success of the title issues have now begun to surface and iPhone users are now facing soft bans but the reason why does not appear to be clear....

I reckon less than ten seconds elapsed between me rolling credits on Pokemon Let’s Go Eevee and me mumbling to myself, “Right — Let’s Go Johto when?” It was the most excited I’ve been about a Pokemon game in over a decade and it wasn’t even confirmed to be in development yet. It still isn’t. Come on, Nintendo. Give us a few crumbs. Admittedly, I wasn’t sold on the premise of Let’s Go Eevee....

As masks become a necessity to modern society, they also act as new accessories to your outfit. What’s even better for Pokemon fans is Original Stitch’s decision to release a line of masks to accompany its stylish collection of Pokemon Shirts. The pandemic is a lingering foe, however, pop culture fans have jumped on the opportunity to customize their face masks - with everything from the muscular jaw of a Titan from Attack on Titan, to Captain America’s shield hiding their nose....

Pokemon Unite will be coming to mobile and Switch sometime in 2021, and Canadian Android owners will be the first to try it out. Pokemon’s mainline games are all well and good, but the franchise has released a number of successful spinoffs over the course of the past 25 years. Its next big tangent will come in the form of Pokemon Unite. Unite will be Pokemon’s first foray into the MOBA scene and looks a little bit like League of Legends but with Pokemon....

Another day, another relaxing trip to the ocean sights of Animal Crossing: New Horizons.

Calling Praey For The Gods a Shadow of the Colossus clone is selling the game short. Yes, you will definitely mount a giant, terrifying monster, scramble around frantically trying to find weak spots to stab with your sword, but you’ll also need to keep yourself fed and rested in a frozen, unforgiving landscape. Praey For The Gods combines survival and more typical third-person action gameplay with the sort of boss fights that became famous with Shadow of the Colossus....

Recently, video game addiction has become an especially hot topic, thanks to the World Health Organization officially recognizing it as a legitimate mental health disorder. In particular, there seems to be worry about how gaming addiction may impact children, with the Jammu and Kashmir Students Association in India going as far as to say addiction to the game PUBG Mobile is worse than drug addiction. “The addiction to this game has become more concerning than addiction to drugs as we get to see youngsters 24 hours on the mobile phones and playing the game and doing nothing....

The latest Red Dead Online update drops today and it has some new content for players interested in the Wild West’s flora and fauna. Earlier this year, the game added a new role with the Naturalist update that focuses on wildlife, and that focus continues with a new Legendary Animal and more in today’s update. Pursuing the Naturalist role in Red Dead Online allows players to help out animal-lover Harriet, who will shame Naturalists for hunting, and Gus, who is the complete opposite and loves hunting down, killing, and skinning prey in the game....

The first-person mode was arguably one of the coolest post-launch updates to come to Rockstar’s Grand Theft Auto V.

Needless to say, this could very well extend the quality of life for the game, as it has already made our most anticipated games of fall 2018 list....

For years now, gamers have watched GameStop (GME) warily, waiting for what seemed like an inevitable burnout. Even with the last generation of consoles, onlookers assumed the world of gaming would become fully digital before long, but this most recent generation of consoles still offers disc drives. To the surprise of many, GME’s stock has actually been rising steadily. Controversy throughout the initial phases of lockdown initially saw GameStop’s stock plummeting, but things really turned around for the retailer in October of 2020....

Retirement is treating Reggie Fils-Aime pretty well. He’s long since ascended to meme status while working as President of Nintendo of America, and now he’s got all the free time to do a bunch of stuff he never had the chance to do as a busy executive. Like present at last year’s The Game Awards, or do an interview at the New York Gaming Awards. Recently, Reggie did an interview for Gamertag Radio’s 16th Anniversary with host Danny Pena....

While Megami Tensei’s Persona spinoff series has been quite successful over the years, it’s clear that Atlus struck gold with the series’ most recent installment, Persona 5. With a variety of spinoffs, an anime adaptation, a revised version in Persona 5 Royal, and the recently released musou-styled sequel Persona 5 Strikers, fans everywhere have made it clear that they could always use more of the Phantom Thieves. The group of teenage rebels stole the hearts of fans everywhere with their debut back in 2016 after a 3-year-long wait since Persona 5’s initial announcement....
