Despite the Persona franchise being one of the most popular JRPG franchises in the world, they have never been available on PC. That is, until now, as Atlus has surprise-launched the critically-acclaimed Persona 4 Golden on Steam. Announced during The PC Gaming Show, Persona 4 Golden is now available on PC worldwide, and it comes with some important enhancements not available in other versions of the game. As confirmed during The PC Gaming Show, Persona 4 Golden on PC has full HD visuals, meaning the game looks better now than it ever did on PlayStation 2 or PlayStation Vita....

Morbid yet kind, Tae Takemi is a back-alley doctor who practices in Yongen-Jaya, just a few minutes away from Joker’s residence at Leblanc Café. Joker initially ventures to her clinic to fetch some medicine for the Metaverse, but Takemi soon realizes she can use him for her own secret practices. The two decide to help each other out and strike a deal. Here is a spoiler-free guide on how to max out her confidant in Persona 5 Royal....

Persona 5 Royal, the flashy JRPG from Atlus, is already one year old. As a matter of celebration, the company iam8bit has done a full art reveal of the Persona 5 Royal 3xLP Vinyl Soundtrack, including details on new pre-orders, price, and estimate release date. People who happened to have pre-ordered the vinyl before December 31 will also receive a Velvet Room-themed 7-inch for free. Along with exclusive art, it features the track “Hymn of the Soul,” known as the signature theme of the series’ Velvet Room....

With the New Game+ Expo beginning soon, and a rumor stating that Atlus is preparing a rather huge announcement, it seems Persona’s next big entry may be unveiled soon. If that’s true, it may be fans’ first glimpse into Persona 6, or whatever’s next for the series. There are several Persona 5 spin-off titles supposedly in development as well, plus Persona 5 Scramble hasn’t been localized for the west yet....

PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds is a game that has taken the world of Battle Royale shooters by storm. Developed by Brendan Greene, the king of the industry and a talented game modder, Battlegrounds has sold more than 8 million copies on Steam and is soon to be published by Microsoft for the Xbox One. Today, Greene’s company Bluehole, Inc announced that it will work with Microsoft to ensure quality is maintained as the console development of PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds progresses at an accelerated pace....

The PS5 is Sony’s next-gen console that will be following in the footsteps of the incredibly successful PS4. PlayStation has presented players with a solid launch lineup that includes games such as Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales and Demon’s Souls. The console itself is already in the hands of critics and influencers who are getting to experience the new features for the first time. It’s time to take a look at those features and decide which 5 truly feel next-gen and which other 5 feel like they might end up being gimmicks....

Anyone who completed Pokémon Red & Blue was given a chance to capture the most powerful Pokémon in the game. The player had previously read mysterious journal entries within the Pokémon Mansion, which talked about horrible experiments that were used to create a brand new creature. This Pokémon was so powerful that it destroyed the mansion and vanished off the face of the planet. The player won’t be allowed to search for Mewtwo until they have become the Champion....

One of the most crucially underrated Pokémon of all time is Rapidash. One of the original 151, Rapidash is a powerful unicorn that has a stunning mane of fire. Running at 150 mph, there are few that can match its incredible speed. The newly introduced Galarian Rapidash is a version of Rapidash that is native to the Galar Region. Trading out its fire-typing for Psychic and Fairy, Galarain Rapidash has a stunning purple and teal mane....

Pokémon GO’s Spring event is gradually being rolled out across the world and by the time you read this, it should be active in every region. In the summer of 2016, Pokémon GO launched with the aim of getting people outside to play their games. Fast forward almost four years to spring 2020 and everyone is being asked to do the exact opposite. To stem the spread of the coronavirus, people are staying at home unless they absolutely need to leave the house....

Pokémon Go players in Singapore recently raised funds to help one of their community’s members pay for her cancer treatment. After a devastating cancer diagnosis in April, 29-year-old Mei Qi found out she would have to undergo sixteen rounds of chemotherapy. Fortunately for Mei Qi, her fellow Singaporean Pokémon Go fans had her back, raising more than $21,000 SDG to help cover some of the costly treatments. The Covid-19 pandemic may have prevented the Pokémon Go community from meeting in person this year, but that hasn’t stopped their sense of community spirit....

While it’s certainly possible to assemble a nearly unbeatable team of Pokémon in Pokémon Legends: Arceus without going out of your way to catch the game’s Legendary Pokémon, we understand if you don’t feel like your Arceus adventure is complete until you’ve added the rarest Pokémon in the game to your roster. So far as that goes, you should first know that it’s not possible to catch any of the game’s Legendary Pokémon until the very end of the game’s main story (most of them can only be caught after completing the game’s main story)....

Ever since Pokemon Red & Blue Grass-type Pokemon have been given the short end of the stick. They’re always considered to be the third choice among starters every generation, despite numerous generations having a Grass-type starter that’s arguably the best among its class. In general, most fans consider Grass-types to be supporting role Pokemon and not the lead powerhouse in a Pokemon team. Like all other types, there have been plenty of weak and strong Grass-types, including the new generation featured in Pokemon Sword & Shield....

There’s a lot to love about Pokemon, but one aspect that’s caught some negative attention is how easy the games have been after Gen V. Gen V offered a selection between easy, normal, and hard, which should have been an improvement upon earlier generations. Unfortunately, easy and hard mode were only version-exclusive, post-game unlockable. Ignoring the ridiculous design that you must beat the game on normal mode before you could play on easy, the unlocks were also tied to your save....

Catching shiny creatures in Pokemon GO isn’t nearly as uncommon as it is in the handheld main series (or even in the latest Switch title), but it’s still an incredibly exciting achievement. Niantic definitely recognizes how much the community loves shiny Pokemon and has been releasing a steady stream of them during the last year. A new shiny family arrives every month on Community Day (like the upcoming Treecko event), but the other in-game events have also been adding additional shiny sprites to the world....

Pokemon GO has made plenty of changes in the recent past, including introducing remote raid battles, but one planned change would mean alienating a portion of the playerbase. Thankfully for those fans, they can at least enjoy the game for a while longer. Pokemon GO has been around for years now, and as those years have gone by, smartphones have continued to evolve. Unfortunately for those using older, 32-bit phones, Niantic announced that it would soon be ending support for these devices....

January 2021 has been an incredibly busy month for Pokemon GO trainers and the Season of Celebration has been bringing non-stop events since mid-December’s holiday activities kicked off. This week players are working through the Sinnoh Celebration, but it won’t be long until the spotlight shifts over to the Hoenn region and its Pokemon. The Hoenn Celebration event kicks off in Pokemon GO on Tuesday, January 19th and offers players the opportunity to fill in some missing Pokedex entries with increased Hoenn region spawns, Egg hatches, and Battle Raid bosses....

It may still be months away, but Pokemon GO trainers are already getting hyped for the upcoming Pokemon GO: Tour - Kanto event. The massive event is not only bringing back a chance to catch all 150 original Pokedex entries, but also there will be shiny versions of every one of them available. In order to have the best chance to catch those shiny spawns, players are going to be encouraged to pick up an event ticket for around $12, which allows them to select Green or Red versions for two different sets of bonuses....

The Pokemon Trading Card Game goes through tons of metagame shifts with each set, especially when rotation hits as old sets become illegal in the Standard format. One of the current winners of the Standard metagame are Fire-Type decks. One of the best decks in the current format is the Centiskorch VMAX deck. As the name implies, the deck is centered around the powerful Centiskorch VMAX card while utilizing fantastic support cards....

This Poldark review contains spoilers. Like a Cornish smock draped over a wooden scarecrow, this series of Poldark dangles from the bones of real historical event. Look it up – controversy magnets Ned and Kitty Despard, would-be assassin James Hadfield, lawyer Thomas Erskine – the subjects of their own Wikipedia page, all. Or rather, don’t look it up as you’ll spoil what’s to come. What’s to come is trouble, that much was guaranteed by yet another of Demelza’s universe-baiting declarations that “All’s right in the world....

In recent years tabletop gaming has become a popular pass time as more and more people are choosing to get together and bring out a board game. For some, this will be a vintage Monopoly board or Scrabble set, while others prefer more modern games. Whatever your preference you can find a board game to suit. However, what happens if you want to play tabletop games but can’t get a group together?...
