Sony’s upcoming PlayStation 5 has been making the rounds to a few news outlets, especially around Japan, where new footage and promotional images for the system are being released. While some features for the new console like a black Dualsense controller have supposedly leaked recently, some of these new hands-on looks have revealed some confirmed features, including regionally specific ones. Originally shared on Famitsu, 4Gamer, and AV Watch, most of this information has mostly been circulating around Japanese websites, with few hands-on exclusives coming from outside of Sony’s home country....

In what might be the most appropriate update for any video game ever, Pumpkin Jack will be receiving an all-new Christmas update along with a limited-time holiday sale for the game coming on PC and Nintendo Switch. The update comes completely free to those who already have the game installed, and will come included with any new purchases. With the update, Jack will be getting into the holiday spirit by being able to wear a new Christmas-themed outfit that, when worn, will make it snow....

With the advent of the Internet, it has become significantly easier to preserve video games. However, some people still do the good work of actually preserving the cartridges on which the games were manufactured. The Atari 2600, one of the first cartridge-based gaming consoles and really the first massively successful piece of video game hardware to ever release, has a massive library of titles with some impressively valuable cartridges. The ten rare games listed below are coveted by collectors everywhere....

According to one Reddit user, their Funko Pop! collection comes above most other things in life, including their marriage. “Am I The A**hole?” (or AITA for short) is probably one of Reddit’s best-known subreddits, with many of its posts periodically turning social media outlets into a microcosm of philosophy classrooms everywhere, with countless disagreements. However, if there’s one thing AITA followers can agree on, its that any post beginning with “everyone is going to think this is fake” is going to be a good one....

Some months ago, PewDiePie’s position as the most-subscribed YouTuber was put in jeopardy by the rise of a rival channel called T-Series that mainly uploads Indian music videos. In response to this, PewDiePie and his community created the “subscribe to PewDiePie” meme to help the YouTuber retain his top spot on YouTube. However, some PewDiePie fans have taken the “subscribe to PewDiePie” meme too far, and now PewDiePie himself is calling for the meme to end....

After April Fools Day, Platinum Games fans thought the company’s Platinum 4 announcements were complete. The fourth announcement, an April Fool’s Day joke, was a SHMUP sequel to Terra Cresta made in partnership with Hamster Corp. Fans were initially confused, thinking the game could be real. It turns out that Platinum was just goofing around, but that it really does have another announcement to make. Friday morning, Platinum Games revealed a “Bonus Stage” announcement via its Platinum 4 website....

Next-generation games are already proving to be seriously impressive. The Unreal Engine 5 reveal showed us the major advancements in lighting and precision detail developers will be able to design new games with. Unreal’s Lumen and Nanite tech, along with the advancement in console hardware within the PS5 and XSX represent a huge leap in video game technology. There’s an elephant in the room though, and it’s there every time we talk about micropolygon rendering and environments made up of billions of triangles....

In an unprecedented move, Sony has changed the games that will be available for PlayStation Plus in July subscribers at the last minute, so that Pro Evolution Soccer 2019 has been switched for Detroit: Become Human Digital Deluxe Edition. Sony revealed last month that the games that would be available for PlayStation Plus subscribers to download in July would be Pro Evolution Soccer 2019 and Horizon Chase Turbo. The games were supposed to be available to download today, but a last minute change has resulted in a new lineup of titles....

There is nothing but dead silence. My flashlight flickers on and off at a frantic pace, signaling danger. Suddenly there’s a flurry of hushed whispers, panicked yelps, and now I’m fighting with three other friends for control of a bedroom door. We pile in, running to a corner in the back of the room while scolding each other to be quiet the entire time. I realize someone is missing from our safe spot behind a bed - there’s a quick and frightened “oh fuck” that comes from the hallway, and my flashlight stops blinking....

Riolu and Lucario were added to the Pokémon roster in Generation IV. The critter immediately became a fan favorite, and Game Freak wasted no time in exploiting this fact. In the years that followed, it gained a Mega Evolution (one heck of a Mega Evolution it was too), a spot in the cast of Pokkén Tournament and Super Smash Bros. and many other perks. As well as some may know this evolution line, there’s still so much more to learn....

While Bug-type Pokémon have a bad reputation due to having low stats, most of them have very high catch rates, which is why they’re so used by new Pokémon players as they’re easy to catch and usually evolve very fast. Sure, Bug-types aren’t as strong as Dragon or Fairy typed Pokémon, but there are some of them that are very competitive Pokémon. In this list, you’re going to find the best Bug-type Pokémon with the highest catch rates....

Pokémon as a franchise has become the juggernaut that it currently is thanks to plenty of factors coming together. One of those factors happens to be the variety of the designs and the creativity behind them. Trainers have their preferences for what will make a Pokémon more appealing to them personally, but generally, it’s easy to spot the cutest and ugliest of the bunch. Specifically, who are the cutest and ugliest Water-types in the entire franchise, though?...

Dewpider is a bug-water type arachnid Pokémon. Admittedly its stats leave something to be desired. However, this chain has a strong defense, and with the right tactical prowess can get the better of its unsuspecting opponents. Here’s where to catch one in Sword and Shield. Where to Find and How To Evolve Dewpider is reasonably common in the overworld, wandering the Stony Wilderness region of the Wild Area. It can also be found along the Motostoke River Bank and Route 5, but the chances are much slimmer....

Despite being targeted towards young children as well as adults, the Pokemon series can actually be pretty dark at times. And not just through some of the games’ main stories either, many of which involve death and Pokemon enslavement, but also through some of the deep lore which surrounds the series itself. Based on the anime, manga, and games, there have been numerous creepy conspiracy theories that have arisen from the Pokemon community, many of which have a bit of evidence to back them up....

Giovanni might just be the most recognizable villain in the Pokemon universe. The character debuted in the first set of games in the franchise, where he was the main antagonist and the final Gym Leader. Giovanni also plays a pivotal role in the anime, debuting in the first season and appearing in many others. Giovanni is also known for having an interesting roster of Pokemon, even having Mewtwo battle under him in the first season of the anime and the series’ first movie....

When January 2021 arrives, Pokemon GO trainers are going to have a very busy month. It’s hard to imagine that there will be even more action than the busy start to the Season of Celebration players had in December, but things are shaping up in that direction. In addition to a New Year’s event, a Community Day, and a new raid boss rotation, there are also some exciting Spotlight Hours on the way....

Pokemon GO recently wrapped up its holiday events, but the mobile game is already bouncing back with a load of new special events and bonuses. Players looking to pick up some new Pokemon are likely most excited by the recent Battle Raid rotation, which offers trainers the chance to brawl against some newer enemies. Although the level four and five Pokemon GO Battle Raids obviously have the most exciting rewards, there are still some good Pokemon to catch from the lower Battle Raids and the added bonus of potentially taking down the bosses solo....
