Two Red Dead Redemption fans are celebrating their engagement after an elaborate video game themed proposal complete with custom made accessories. Tara Lynne and Dean — or Sadie and John, as they’re better known in certain communities — share a mutual love for the Red Dead series and had been friends for more than two years before deciding to tie the knot. The couple first met through a mutual friend while attending the 2018 San Diego Comic-Con and quickly bonded over their shared passion for Red Dead Redemption....

Players have a choice on their hands in Red Dead Online when they try to decide between working with Gus MacMillan and Harriet Davenport. Harriet is the more peaceful of the two and her maps are helpful to naturalists and hunters alike. But Gus has all of the trinkets and that’s a host of upgrades too good to pass up. Unlike Red Dead Redemption 2, the base game, you’re not limited to the benefits of each trinket....

One of the many, many highlights of Red Dead Redemption 2 is the vast catalog of characters, both those who play crucial parts in the story and are prominent throughout the game, and those who pop up as recurring characters, even just once or twice. There are so many brilliantly written NPCs for the player to have and enjoy interactions with, many of whom impact Arthur and the journey of the game....

Red Dead Redemption 2 is a massive game, with players still finding secrets and clever details within its open world. With that size also comes a few bugs here and there, though, with one such bug seeing a Red Dead Redemption 2 player’s horse learn to teleport. While a recent detail found shows just how much Dutch cares about Arthur, the Red Dead Redemption 2 protagonist’s horse seems to have equally strong feelings for its owner....

Following in the footsteps of Fall Guys and Among Us, it seems Phasmophobia is the next indie multiplayer gem to transform into a global phenomenon, with the game recently topping the Steam sales charts. Over the weeks, YouTubers, streamers, and general audiences have quickly become enamored with the co-op ghost hunting simulator, with it quickly becoming one of this month’s most essential games. Released today, the title has just got its third major post-launch update, with Kinetic Games taking to Steam to inform players of everything added to the popular four-player horror experience....

Looking to start 2021 with a new video game? GOG has you covered, as it’s running a massive sale on dozens of iconic, pixelized titles. Included in the sale are Stardew Valley, To The Moon, and Moonlighter, among others. The sale runs until January 11, so there’s still plenty of time to check out the selection and pick up a cheap new game to kickstart the new year. Some are up to 80% off, making this the perfect time to catch up on the best titles of the past few years....

Evo was the only event last year that managed to get itself canceled twice. The first time was thanks to COVID-19, which requires no further explanation. The second time was thanks to tournament organizer Joey “Mr. Wizard” Cuellar, who managed to get the second online-only Evo tournament canceled after allegations surfaced that he sexually abused a minor. We’re not going to get into specifics, but you can read about it in our previous coverage....

While the Pokémon series is one of the most widely beloved gaming franchises of all time, there’s no doubt that it can be considered a bit easy at times. However, this doesn’t need to be the case. With a few self-implemented rules, you can really make a tough run for yourself. Today, we’ll be going over ten ways to make your next Pokémon playthrough a bit more difficult. You probably don’t want to do too many of these at once, but if you do, more power to you!...

There is no shortage of hidden areas in the Pokémon games. Typically these hidden areas are little side trails that lead to a common item like a Pokéball or potion; however, these hidden areas occasionally are not only a little harder to find, but give the player something special for their effort. In the later games this “something special” was usually a legendary Pokémon, or an item that would change the game in new (and un-thought of) ways....

Pokémon Sword & Shield were the first mainline Pokémon entries to release on the Nintendo Switch. The games featured a big step forward for the franchise that has been home to stagnation and complacency. Players experience a rather interesting narrative in the games and the cast of characters they meet run the spectrum. Plenty of them are throwaway recurring characters, but some make quite a mark on the player and franchise in general....

Pokémon Sword & Shield’s Isle of Armor DLC opened the borders of Galar just a little. Now a new batch of Pokémon, around 100, have permission to enter Generation VIII. Many are walking around the new and improved Wild Area, but there are also some hidden gems. In TheGamer’s Pokédex guide series, we chronicle all the Pokémon and where to find them. Druddigon is somewhat unqiue in the Pokémon world in that it’s actually a normal dragon....

Duraludon is one of the cooler new Pokémon added for Sword & Shield. Its Steel and Dragon typing makes it quite a beast, but it reaches maximum power when it Gigantamaxes. It then becomes a skyscraper, probably based on The Shard, the UK’s tallest building. Here’s where to find this skyscraper dragon. Where To Find Duraludon Duraludon can be found as a high-level wandering spawn in the Wild Area’s Route 10, Giant’s Seat, and Lake of Outrage....

Beginning all the way back in 1996, Pokemon remains one of the biggest video game properties in the world, spawning an exceptionally popular card game, tons of merch, and a whole host of sequels spanning from the Game Boy to the Nintendo Switch. Of course, it also led to a hugely popular anime that is still going to this day, documenting the adventures of Ash Ketchum, his Pikachu, and an assortment of companions....

Nobody does Valentine’s Day like nerds. This redditor has already dominated the holiday of love with this incredible Game Boy mod. Modified and special edition Game Boys are always a fun collectible, but this could be the end all be all in that category. This Casanova, who goes by CrimsonChymist on Reddit, shared the customized gift created for his girlfriend. A Game Boy Pocket with a new candy pink shell would have been enough, but CrimsonChymist went way above and beyond and modified an old copy of Pokemon Blue, inside and outside....

Pokemon Go has revealed details about a bonus event it will hold to make up for technical issues during the Kanto Tour. Pokemon Go is free to play, so when Niantic asks you to pay for some of its content, it needs to be good. Last month’s Kanto Tour was exactly that. For the $11.99 entry fee, trainers were almost given more to do than they could ever fit into the time allotted....

We’re finally going to know more about Pokemon Sword & Shield: The Crown Tundra starting tomorrow. Big news. Big big news. Nintendo and Game Freak are finally going to reveal The Crown Tundra, Sword & Shield second DLC, tomorrow morning at 9 AM EST (6 AM PST). The announcement was made on Twitter earlier this morning telling trainers to “get ready.” Oddly, we’ve got logos for both The Crown Tundra and Isle of Armor in the image posted on Twitter, so maybe there will be a few announcements for Isle of Armor players as well....

Do you like turtles, fungi, and making berry juice? If so, Shuckle was custom-engineered in a lab for you to enjoy, and this sweet little defense-oriented bug will feel right at home in your camp in Sword and Shield. Where To Find Shuckle Shuckle can be found during a sandstorm in any of these locations: the Dusty Bowl, Giant’s Cap, Giant’s Mirror, Stony Wilderness, and the Watchtower Ruins. It can also be found at any time in Galar Mine No....

Alongside everything that normally comes in the collector’s edition, players will also gain access to a brand new character, Lauren Shiba. Pre-ordering the physical collector’s edition will unlock the Green Ranger V2 skin as well. Hardcore Power Rangers fans may already know this, but Lauren Shiba premiered in the Super Samurai season of Power Rangers, and is the Red Samurai Ranger....

Renegade Game Studios, creator of the cooperative board game Power Rangers: Heroes of the Grid that made its debut in August 2019, revealed the addition of two new Power Rangers Character Packs during its recently livestreamed Gen Con panel discussion. The Power Rangers henchmen duo of Squatt and Baboo will be making an appearance sometime this fall, and a preorder campaign is planned to begin in the near future, though the date is yet to be announced....

Debuting with a fantastic CGI trailer reminiscent of Bond films, the next entry in the Far Cry series is clearly promising a lot. Starring Giancarlo Esposito as the main villain Anton Castillo, alongside Anthony Gonzalez as his son Diego, it’s clear Far Cry 6 is taking things up a notch. The series is known for playing host to some of the most iconic villains in video games who would later move on to TV, but never vice versa....
