The fever-pitch of the PlayStation 4 vs. Xbox One console war may have died down a little in the weeks following the release of both systems - especially as intriguing upcoming additions to the market like Valve’s Steam machines have distracted our attention - but dedicated Sony and Microsoft fans have nonetheless been keeping a keen eye on sales. 2013 closed out with the PS4 taking an early lead, selling 4....
Sony announces that it will release a Glacier White variant of the PS4 Slim later this month, although only certain regions will have access to them, at least initially. When Sony announced both the PS4 Slim and PS4 Pro, gamers naturally assumed that the latter would receive the most love from its creator while the former would function like a sleeker, budget-friendly option for those turned off by the PS4 Pro’s price tag....
The upcoming PlayStation 5 has been the focus of a great deal of speculation.

We’ve been waiting a long time for Psychonauts 2 already, but now we know we will have to wait a little bit longer to get our hands on the game. It’s already been 15 years since the first game was released, but to disappointing sales despite eventually garnering a large cult fan base. A sequel was revealed to be in development at Double Fine in 2015, but since then has been mostly quiet aside from the several delays to the game....

After its initial reveal in 2013, Remedy Entertainment’s highly-anticipated third-person shooter Quantum Break has finally gone gold ahead of its scheduled April launch.

After five years of development time and a number of missed release dates, Remedy Entertainment creative director Sam Lake announced today that Quantum Break has finally gone gold....
In the moment we’ve all been waiting for, Ubisoft has fully revealed Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Extraction today at E3. The game was originally going to be named Rainbow Six Quarantine back in 2019, before “quarantine” sadly became a part of our everyday language. After this, everyone began referring to it as Rainbow Six Parasite until we finally got the confirmation that the game would be called Rainbow Six Extraction. And it has a September 16 release date....
The Trader Role is probably the most realistic Role in Red Dead Online. You go out and collect furs and carcasses and then you trade them for money, simple. The downside to this, is that much like real life, it’s a bit boring. Still, it’s a pretty decent money maker and it unlocks some great rewards. Perhaps the most valuable thing locked behind the Trader Role is the Moonshiner Role....
Red Dead Redemption 2 is another one of those games players keep discovering new things in, even years later. In this case, it was revealed that one of the beloved characters in the RDR series has been deceiving players for a long time. Rockstar’s Red Dead Redemption series is tightly connected to John Marston, the protagonist of the first game, and Arthur Morgan’s partner in the second entry. John Marston differs considerably from other typical characters thanks to his voice, scars, and many other attributes....

As it happens, the company has stated that players of Red Dead Redemption 2 on the PlayStation 4 will get “first access to earn select online content” as part of a partnership between the platform holder and developer Rockstar Games....
Six years ago this month, about a dozen developers who worked together at Vigil Games and Crytek USA on titles like Darksiders decided to start their own studio, Gunfire Games, figuring they could be more in control of their financial situation and work on passion projects. They have worked on titles like Darksiders 3 for THQ and a number of VR games for publishers like Oculus, including two that became testing grounds for their blockbuster 2019 hit Remnant: From the Ashes....
When Persona 5 was released, those gamers who picked up the game immediately realised that the title was something special. Building upon what was successful about the previous games, Persona 5 proved to be a hugely important title for RPGs in general. As it turns out, this has made the game into something of an instant classic, as Persona 5 has just been voted the best RPG of all time....

Popular Fortnite Twitch streamer Tyler “Ninja” Blevins joins up with Youtube content creator Felic “PewDiePie” Kjellberg for the second week of the competition.

In a game all about murder, looting, and warfare, it might come as a shock to find that the developers have added a brand new reputation feature that promotes being kind. Patch 10.2 is live on the test servers and has added a rating of 0-5 next to profiles in the Team Finder. It’s not so much about how kind you are to your foes in the arena, but rather how good of a teammate you are....
Publisher Natsume has announced that Pocky & Rocky Reshrined will be heading to the PS4 and Switch in Fall 2021. Announced last year as Pocky & Rocky 2021, the game is a revival/reboot of the classic SNES co-op title that saw a shrine maiden team up with a tanooki to battle mythological Japanese enemies. It was 100% a product of the 90s but has gone on to amass something of a cult following (thanks in part to the Game Grumps)....
Battling against Fighting-type Pokémon always carries risk. This type seems to deal way more damage than others – at some point, every player has probably thought, “I did not think it would do that much damage” while fighting a Machamp or Conkeldurr. There are two reasons for this, with the first being that Fighting-type Pokémon generally have very high attack scores. Second, Fighting-type moves (on average) have incredibly high power ratings compared to other types....
Pokémon has a whole slew of strong moves that a lot of the time take a lot of training to get your Pokémon to learn by leveling such as Fire Blast, but there are moves out there so much stronger than Fireblast that it isn’t even on the list. In Pokémon, many of the best moves were signature moves that only 1 Pokémon could learn and were ridiculous in attack power, many of those moves were nerfed later on but still hold huge strength....
Another month is here, and that means Pokémon GO will be seeing some changes. March gave us Grass-types, weather-based research tasks, and shiny Treeko. April looks to be bringing us Bug-types, a new Giratina form, and shiny Bagon. There might be a surprise or two sprinkled in there (Gibble finally!?), but for now, here’s what we know about April’s research tasks and their rewards. Unfortunately, there’s nothing much to write home about....
