For the most part, the trainers in Pokémon Red and Blue aren’t too difficult, being less of a test of skill and more as roadblocks to stop the player from moving through the game too fast. This often makes the original Pokémon titles somewhat tedious when trainers can’t be avoided, but battles are usually enjoyable enough to make up for this. Although this has changed somewhat in recent years, though not to a great extent, there are a handful of trainers in the first generation games that are still challenging to the player, so long as they aren’t over-leveled....

As part of its transition from EX Raid Boss to Tier 5 Raid Boss, Pokemon GO’s legendary Psychic-type Mewtwo lost two of its most powerful moves. However, Niantic has seen fit to replace those moves with three more: Ice Beam, Thunderbolt, and Flamethrower. Turning Mewtwo into more of a generalist, Niantic has also made the legendary a bit harder to counter. First off, the addition of Ice Beam to this legendary’s move set has turned Mewtwo into the best Ice-type attacker in the game....

Pokemon GO Fest 2020 has come and gone, which means it’s time for the Ultra Unlock weekly events that players unlocked over the course of the fest. Niantic recently wrote up a post for the Pokemon GO website detailing exactly what those events are, week by week.

Many lucky gamers have finally gotten their hands on the recently released Xbox Series X/S or the PlayStation 5. Released on November 12, 2020, the new generation consoles all sold out very quickly at most retailers, but many were still lucky enough to nab one for themselves. With both consoles offering varying amounts of backward compatibility, many fans may now be wondering what to do with older, outdated systems that no longer serve a purpose....

The Xbox One version of the popular battle royale shooter PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds has certainly been on the rise over the past few weeks. Not only is it improving content-wise with the impending addition of the currently PC-exclusive Miramar map, but its technical foundations are also seeing steady improvement. Its 12th patch hit the game’s live servers a few hours ago and brought with it a mix of new cosmetics, UI fixes, optimizations, and, perhaps most notably, fixes for several issues affecting vehicle behavior....

Yesterday marked the official Rage 2 release date, and opinions on Avalanche Studios and id Software’s new open world shooter have, thus far, been less than stellar. Indeed, many of the currently available Rage 2 reviews have praised the title for its gunplay while simultaneously taking issue with its world and storytelling. For some, these middling reviews may have been enough to convince them not to purchase the game, but a prompt Rage 2 discount could help swing these players in the other direction....

Since the series debut back in 1996, there have been many Resident Evil titles. And the likes of Leon, Chris, and Jill don’t face the same antagonist in every single installment. An abundance of villains have come and gone during the series, with some leaving a bigger impact than others. The best ones have either had entertaining personalities, captivating backstories or just been straight-up terrifying. On the other hand, the worst evil-doers have been generic and forgettable....

2021 is going to be a big year for Persona fans as it marks the 25th anniversary for the series. Atlus has announced a celebration for the series later in the year, and fans have been eyeing Persona 3 in particular as its 15th anniversary comes up this summer.

The game was released on August 21st, 2020. The alternately-named chapters that led to PGA Tour 2K21 were quality games but riddled with shortcomings, such as the lack of a putt power meter....

Notoriously, the Xbox One was outdone by the PlayStation 4 this generation, even with each consoles’ respective upgrades. The same also applies to the Switch, which similarly outperformed the Xbox One. This is simply proven by the sales. Evidently, both the PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch outsold the Xbox One – by a wide margin. According to Forbes’ calculations, the Xbox One sold about 46.9 million units since its launch in 2013....

Sony has been somewhat slow to reveal new information about its upcoming PlayStation 5 console. It first revealed the PS5 specs, then showed off the DualSense controller, and finally unveiled the console design alongside a variety of its launch window games. And now Sony has revealed what PlayStation 5 game cases will look like when they start lining store shelves at some point later this year. Using Spider-Man: Miles Morales as an example, PlayStation has revealed that PS5 game cases will look pretty similar to PS4 cases, with some notable differences....

Game Freak will forever reside within a nostalgic pocket of Pokémon player’s hearts, as they remember staring at the logo and eagerly awaiting THAT title screen. However, it has been reported that the Japanese developer has changed its company name to ‘Game Maniac’ in China, which has already been trademarked. The change was flagged by hobbyist translator “sirena” on Twitter, who broke down the phonetic translation. The translator noticed the change in Chinese and explained that the second part of the company’s name now phonetically translates to ‘maniac’ instead of ‘freak....

There are many powerful Pokemon that have been added to Pokemon GO over the years. One powerful Pokemon that has been in the game since the beginning remains one of the best, that being Charizard. Charizard is the final stage of the Charmander evolutionary line, originally debuting in the first generation of Pokemon. In Pokemon GO, Charizard has been in-game since the game’s first launch and is still as powerful and popular as ever....
