Hang up your cooking aprons and get ready to go to a wedding! Mario Kart Tour has officially said goodbye to the Cooking Tour and has officially launched the Peach Tour, the latest in-game event that runs until June 30, 2020. Nintendo Mobile has released an official trailer for the game on their YouTube Channel, which shows some footage of the latest tracks and playable characters from the new tour.

Early access games are in no short supply, especially if you are playing on PC. These games generally sell at a cheaper price point with limited content. It can be a bit of a risk when buying these games, as there is no promise of more updates, and some games never get out of early access. Raft is a small survival project that quickly became popular thanks to Youtubers finding the title....

One thing that’s helped Rainbow Six Siege gain and sustain success and popularity is Ubisoft’s treatment of the game. The developer listens to the community and is constantly trying to make improvements to the game while maintaining it’s as challenging and balanced a shooter as possible. One way in which they’ve really succeeded in doing that is their release of seasonal DLC operators. Typically, one attack and one defense operator is released with a new update, and there have been a lot added since the game first came out....

Rainbow Six Siege’s Outbreak co-op event is due to begin soon and thus, the last few days have seen Ubisoft release a load of new information about the event (including a new teaser trailer) to increase player anticipation. The new trailer, entitled “Ash’s Briefing,” is a 1:30 CGI clip that furthers the backstory of the upcoming event. It sees playable operator Ash updating fellow operators Thermite and Tachanka on the situation taking place in Truth or Consequences, New Mexico (which a previous trailer had revealed as quarantined due to some sort of parasite infestation....

Marvel’s Avengers is developer Crystal Dynamics’ take on the team-based looter action RPG genre. As players progress through the game and upgrade their characters’ gear and abilities, they can build their heroes to fit specific roles, such as a tanky Hulk, crowd control-oriented Thor, or Black Widow ranged DPS build. The roles that each character can take largely depends on their Heroic abilities, which are game-changing, rechargeable moves unique to each character....

One of the most fascinating phenomena in the Pokémon world surrounds the mystery of shiny Pokémon. As opposed to the common members of a species, shiny Pokémon are extremely rare beings with a distinct color palette to differentiate them from the rest. Every single Pokémon species has its own shiny variant, though some are more noticeable than others. For example, Gengar’s shiny form is near identical to the normal one, while Charizard’s is black rather than its usual orange....

While Nintendo of America dragged its feet in getting Xenoblade Chronicles out on the Wii, it’s still been quite a long time since the game made its way to the US. In fact, this year will mark eight years since players were first able to travel the worlds of both the Bionis and Mechonis. It’s fair to say that you may have forgotten about some of the cast in the original, but fear not!...

Although the single player campaign of Red Dead Redemption 2 has been wildly popular by itself, it seems its multiplayer aspect, Red Dead Online, is likely to take its popularity to new heights. From duels to horse races, the online counterpart seems to have a little of everything, including time-appropriate vehicles. Now, a leak has revealed some of the vehicles that will be in the game. Of course, as with all leaks, this should be taken with a grain of salt, but it seems to come from a reliable source....

When players are hanging out at the Van der Linde camp gang in Red Dead Redemption 2, other gang members may send Arthur out on requests. There is a specific item that they’re looking for and they would be grateful if Arthur picked one up on his travels and brought it back to them. For example, Dutch wants a pipe and Sadie wants a Harmonica. Even little Jack Marston has a request for Arthur: he wants him to go out and find a Penny Dreadful comic....

A previously undiscovered album of concept art for Red Dead Redemption 2 was uploaded to ArtStation by a former Rockstar designer Daren Bader. The album was published two months ago, yet was only discovered recently by user deadasdisco in the GTAForums website. Uploaded by the former Senior Art Director, the album showed an interesting perspective on the creative process behind one of Rockstar’s best games. The Red Dead Redemption 2 art collection gave the fans a look into the early designs of the game’s characters and locations....

Upon release, Red Dead Redemption 2 became an instant hit critically acclaimed far and wide. There are a ton of reasons for this, ranging from the general popularity of the first game and the heart-wrenching story to the mysteries found throughout Red Dead Redemption 2 and the overarching design of the game’s map. There have been comparisons of RDR 2’s map to games like Skyrim, but beyond the sheer size of it, it does something that maps fail to do....

There are three classes to choose from in Remnant: From The Ashes and each comes with its own unique starting perks and gear sets. Every class has a specific role to fill in the game and, therefore, they provide differing playstyles. For players starting out, it’s important to know what each class archetype brings to the table and how the game will differ. Any class is viable in the right hands, but there are some things players should know about these classes before starting....

Search giant Google has also thrown its hat into the ring with its Project Stream which lets people play games from their Google Chrome web browser. The service is currently in a testing period, but those who have used the service say that it offered them a smooth experience when playing Assassin’s Creed Odyssey. In addition to these companies, FIFA and Battlefield publisher EA has said that it wants to create a game streaming service, too....

PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds is taking a page from its competitors’ playbooks this time around. PUBG Corp. announced on Tuesday the upcoming implementation of a Battle Pass system on PC, a day after implementing a similar-yet-different system on mobile. Rebranded as Event Passes, PUBG’s system will offer new opportunities at in-game content apart from the current Loot Crate system. Event Passes will launch hand-in-hand with the Sanhok map on June 22. The Battle Pass system is an extremely popular feature used in games including both Fortnite and Paladins....

Sony typically announces the free PlayStation Plus games on the last Wednesday of each month, but it did things differently this time around. Perhaps wanting to keep the focus on its State of Play presentation, Sony held off on announcing the free PS Plus games for March 2021 until earlier this morning, confirming four free games including Final Fantasy 7 Remake. Final Fantasy 7 Remake is one of the biggest PS4 games of 2020, so its inclusion in the free PS Plus lineup is a big deal for sure, but there is a major catch that subscribers should be aware of....

Pokémon is a game series that has now been around for more than two decades, and needless to say, there have been a lot of changes. The games have gone from being in black and white to full 3D. Gamefreak has played around with tons of features throughout the game series, adding as many as they have removed, some of which were fan favorites. Despite this, Gen I laid the groundwork for the game series, and several of the features are still being used in the most current titles....

Picking a starter is an intimate part of the Pokémon experience. Every single mainline game begins with the player character selecting the Pokémon that will very likely accompany them for the rest of their journey. A trainer’s starter is simply put their main character: the leader of their party. This is the Pokémon you should want to take all the way to the Elite Four. Naturally, which Pokémon a trainer picks as their starter can make or break their experience– especially if they’re a beginner....

Although version exclusive Gym Leaders have been used in Pokémon games before, Pokémon Sword & Shield take it to a whole new level, with two of the players chosen challenges being different depending on the version they are playing. One of these differences is the Ice-type Gym Leader, Melony, and the Rock-type Gym Leader, Gordie. As with all challenges in Pokémon, not all are created equal, in particular when it comes to the trainer’s team, the chosen type, and the puzzle players are required to complete before they are eligible to challenge the Gym Leader....

If you have ever really started to think about how some Pokemon work, then you will notice a lot of things just don’t make sense. This is especially true for Grass-type Pokemon. Many fans of the series are left scratching their heads at just how these creatures function. They don’t know whether they should treat them like their living room plants, or walk them like their pet dogs. This is because grass types exist in a very strange state in the world of Pokemon....
