One of the standout features of Ratchet & Clank is its massive arsenal of weird weapons. As beloved as the platforming and characters are, it’s the firearms that put the Lombax on the map. And who can argue with a series that has a frog-based shotgun, a family of killer robots that act like moving turrets, a literal disco ball that forces enemies to dance, and a ray gun that turns enemies into sheep?...
This Raya and the Last Dragon article contains spoilers. You can read our spoiler-free review here. It almost didn’t end this way. For a brief moment during the climax of Raya and the Last Dragon, it felt like we were a million miles away from any kind of peace. And when Raya (Kelly Marie Tran) marched up the steps of Fang’s parameters in search of Namaari (Gemma Chan), I doubt there was a single viewer who didn’t share her anger—and maybe her thirst for revenge....

Have you successfully run an anime-style Dungeons & Dragons campaign? They’re out there, but they’re rare. It’s no secret that D&D is built around traditional medieval fantasy. Sure, homebrew creators have flooded the internet with their takes on anime-style subclasses, character races, and even full-fledged adventures. But at the end of the day, a huge number of people come to D&D expecting Western archetypes and stories. You can still create an anime-influenced character if you’d like, but it’s a roll of the dice whether your table will be accepting or label you as cringey....
With live, in-person events not as easy to coordinate during the COVID-19 pandemic, companies are looking for different ways to announce new titles and share new information with fans. Taking a bit of a different approach to the typical game presentation video, PlayStation Japan revealed a five-minute sizzle reel teasing a number of upcoming titles. A couple of PS5 exclusives make an appearance, but what really turned heads in this presentation was the odd manner in which the short teasers in the video are revealed....

Since the early days of Pokémania, the first Generation of games set out one of the ground rules: your first Pokémon will be a Fire-, Water- or Grass-type, buddy, whether you want it to be or not. Two decades later, that’s still very much the case. This has always been a choice that requires a lot of thought, because there’s a lot more at stake than you might think. Your run through the main game can be much easier or harder, depending on your chosen starter....
The Pokémon franchise seems to only grow with every new generation of games and/or a new set of trading cards. Hardcore fans love debating the power of individual Pokémon and use the statistics baked into the games to make their arguments. Water-types are some of the more popular Pokémon, but among them who is the fastest? You may have your assumptions, but there’s raw data that lays out who’s the fastest of the fast....
Pokémon may come in all shapes and sizes, from different regions, but everyone has their favorites. The Fire-typing has been a series favorite ever since kids fell in love with Charmander, and its final form named Charizard. Out of all of the Fire-types, though, which are the easiest to catch? Not all trainers are experts and understanding which Pokémon can be easily caught can help build confidence in aspiring Pokémon Champions....
Pokémon GO’s Johto research requires trainers to catch an ice-type Pokémon, which can be easier said than done for some people. Pokémon GO is running a series of throwback events throughout the month of May. Week one was dedicated to the Kanto region, and week two has moved us swiftly on to Johto. As was the case with the Kanto research, the Johto event has been split into nine different stages....
Niantic dropped an unexpected Pokémon GO event on April 1, but it’s not a bad thing. As seems to be the trend with gaming companies in the era of fake news, April Fools’ day saw Pokémon GO get an actual event instead of a prank. It just happens to be an event that celebrates prankster Pokémon. The event is about “tricky” Pokémon, which for the most part seem to be Pokémon that disguise themselves....

In the past, the Pokémon video games relied on new versions of each game in order to add new content to a particular generation and region, as was the case with games like Pokémon Yellow, Pokémon Crystal, and Pokémon Emerald. Game Freak phased these out over time, but they have been replaced with new content that will be added through DLC. Pokémon Sword & Shield will be adding new content through its Expansion Pass, in the form of the Isle of Armor and The Crown Tundra....
Caves have been a staple of Pokemon since the very start. There are several caves in Pokemon Red & Blue, and there they serve a purpose. While the rest of the game is bright and vibrant - as bright and vibrant as handheld games could be in 1996 - the caves are dark and mysterious. They introduce a new biome to the game, with lots of Rock and Ground Pokemon, as well as creatures you’d expect to dwell in the shadows, like Zubat....
Although the month of nonstop events is over now that August is here, there is still plenty for the Pokemon GO community to be excited about.
