Starting on Tuesday, May 26 Pokemon GO trainers are going to have an exciting new rotation of Legendary Raid Bosses to battle and add to their Pokedex. The iconic trio of draconic Legendaries from Pokemon Black and Pokemon White are on their way to the mobile AR game and the battles kick off with the spotlight on Reshiram, but Zekrom and Kyurem won’t be far behind. In order to secure the exciting new Pokedex entries, Pokemon GO trainers are going to have to figure out how to beat the draconic trio of bosses....

Shadow Pokemon are the corrupted creatures Team Rocket grunts leave behind. Here’s how to catch them and the benefits of doing so. Team Rocket has been a mainstay in Pokemon ever since the franchise launched during the mid ’90s. Whether it be the video games or the TV show, Jessie, James, Giovanni, and their team of grunts have been a thorn in the paw of trainers around the world. Now, they are a threat in Pokemon Go too....

Pokkén Tournament is a dream come true for many Pokémon fans. Many have asked for a Pokémon fighting game for ages and we finally have it. With over 20 different Pokémon, the roster is stacked with some from just about every generation of Pokémon. With the release of Pokémon Sword & Shield, many new Pokémon have entered into the world. Some of these Pokémon would make excellent additions to the Pokkén roster for many different reasons....

This POWER RANGERS BEAST MORPHERS review contains spoilers. I’ve never been more conflicted about an episode of Power Rangers Beast Morphers. This show has never had more energy and a sense of purpose than this episode. The fights have weight, the choreography is ten steps above normal, the emotions are dialed to eleven, and the Rangers are even allowed to have conflict! Every scene builds on one another and the pacing is tight while still allowing the proper emotional beats to land....

Prodigal Son proved to be a unique offering in a small screen sea flowing with genre-similar crime procedurals, standing out as a successful freshman offering for Fox after its debut in 2019. While the network was quick to capitalize on that success by giving the series a backorder for more episodes, it stopped short of an advance renewal for Season 2. However, any fears about the network’s apparent indecision proved to be unfounded....

It seems somewhat fitting that the PS5 is releasing the same year that PS Plus is celebrating its 10th anniversary, as the service has seen some ups and downs but come out better for it. Right now, not much is known about the future of the service, but it’s clear that PS Plus is more important now than ever. As Sony prepares to transition from PS4 to PS5 with a focus on premium games on a premium console, Microsoft and the Xbox Series X is focused on other elements while still correcting the Xbox One reveal’s mistake of not focusing on games....

The original and, by extension, 2016 reboot’s horny toads have returned in Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart, but they go by a different name. These little sand-dwelling critters are now ‘horned.’ If you ever saw a toad that looked like them in real life, you’d probably turn tail and run given its wide jaw and razor-sharp teeth. It even sports dinosaur-like spiked fins stretched out across its back. Still, all it takes to wack them is a wrench, so maybe they aren’t so fierce....

Of all the games announced during Sony’s PlayStation 5 reveal event, Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart stood out for showing off impressive portal jumping gameplay and a new character in the long-running universe: A female member of Ratchet’s species from another dimension. Not much is known about this grey, female Lombax from the trailer, but today Insomniac Games confirmed via Twitter that she will be a secondary playable character. For a PS2-era 3D action platformer series that laid mostly dormant in Sony’s catalog until an HD reboot of the original 2002 Ratchet and Clank released in 2016, it should be exciting for long-time fans to know that Insomniac is prepared to take things in a new direction with Rift Apart....

The Razer Naga Pro is the latest mouse from the gaming hardware manufacturing company and is based on the design of the Razer Trinity, but with several touch-ups. It’s everything PC gamers should expect from a mouse, with firm handling, an easy experience, and a solid level of versatility. Indeed, it would seem that choice and versatility were core tenets in the Razer Naga Pro’s design, with that shining through more than anything else....

It doesn’t take long for Ernest Cline’s Ready Player Two to reunite gunter-turned-billionaire Wade Owen Watts with a vintage video game that holds a clue to a virtual scavenger hunt that will forever change the future of the digital, escapist OASIS. But after winning this particular game, Parzival (Wade’s OASIS alter ego) finds that he automatically starts over. Because of an extra life, he is given the option of playing through the game again, even though there are no surprises, simply to rack up extra points and because he can....

At Google’s GDC 2019 keynote address, the company shocked the gaming world with the announcement of its Stadia platform. Stadia promises to be the next-generation of video gaming, delivering instant access to triple-A video games regardless of what hardware the player has at their disposal. While the Stadia presentation impressed many, the question remained what kind of Internet connection would be required to actually use the service effectively, but that has since been cleared up by Phil Harrison....

Just two years ago, Rockstar Games came out with yet another generation-defining open world in its western universe. Red Dead Redemption 2 took a lot of risks, introducing ambitious gameplay conventions to the revered western series, even when it didn’t necessarily need them. Through nearly every facet of the experience, Rockstar Games strived to evoke a realistic simulation of the old American West as best as it could. Now, as one of the top 20 best-selling video games of all time, Red Dead Redemption 2 certainly succeeded in that regard....

Rockstar Games’s Red Dead Redemption 2 is nearing its three-year anniversary mark this 2021 and the player base seems to show no sign of stopping when it comes to playing the game. With players constantly producing creative mods and discovering unique Red Dead Redemption 2 secrets, it is no surprise that fans can find out everything there is to know about the action-adventure title, even funny glitches that cause NPC eyes to bug out of their heads....

Although it is nearing its 2-year anniversary, Red Dead Redemption 2 still continues to surprise players, with one method of this being the variety of RDR2 mysteries still present in 2020. Whether it’s the third meteorite, the purpose of the match sticks, or the compass, there’s still plenty to keep players going. Some, however, have managed to shut the book on a few things once or twice. The cup runneth over with Red Dead Redemption 2 mystery solutions when the game was ported to PC, as players found answers to some of the biggest questions thus far....

Red Dead Redemption was one of the most loved games of the last generation. While everyone praised the likes of Grand Theft Auto 4 for its take on organized crime in New York City, Red Dead Redemption took players into the past and let them go wild on horseback, playing as cowboy John Marston. From hogtying enemies and sticking them on train tracks to gun duels in the middle of town and even killing zombies in the Undead Nightmare DLC, the game gave players plenty to do in the Old West....

Persona 5 has continued to enthrall fans years after its initial release. Following the release of Persona 5 Royal, players can now experience the direct sequel to Persona 5 with Persona 5 Strikers. Several months in between Persona 5/Royal and Strikers’ plot, it’s unsurprising that there are some new facts of the team that fans can explore. Joker and his friends have matured and evolved in the few months they spent apart....

Players are eagerly awaiting the release of Persona 5 Strikers in the West, but won’t have to wait much longer. Persona 5 Strikers recently celebrated with a launch trailer illustrating all the reasons to love the game. One of the biggest changes in Persona 5 Strikers is the real-time battles which shake up the combat quite a bit. This is doubly true for boss fights, and the first one against Mad Rabbit Alice can prove to be a doozy....

Microsoft’s head of the Xbox division, Phil Spencer, is apologizing for a GDC party hosted by Xbox that he says was, “not consistent or aligned to our values.” It’s no secret that many unsavory vestiges of 90’s game publication and marketing remain even in 2016. The Mountain Dew and Doritos “extreme” sponsorships are more meme than reality anymore, but remain part of every Call of Duty launch each fall. Gendered video game advertisements targeting solely males is rarer every year....

With the dawn of next-generation aiming to finally bring 4K gaming to the masses, there’s been some weird speculation on the possibility of 8K gaming happening in the near future. From the release of numerous 8K televisions to the strange engraving of “8K” on Series X’s CPU, the tech industry is constantly trying to sell us technology that isn’t quite ready for the prime time. Thankfully, Microsoft is starting to realize the error of its ways....

After Microsoft announced its recent purchase of ZeniMax Media on Tuesday, fans all over the world expressed concern that the newly acquired studios — especially Bethesda — could be negatively affected by Xbox’s involvement. As a means of easing said concerns, Xbox boss Phil Spencer recently explained that the company’s goal is to maintain the culture of each new studio through a “semi-independent” relationship. The news comes from a recent report published by CNET, which includes commentary from both Spencer and Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella....
