Rotom, the Ghost/Electric-type introduced in Generation IV, is a very strange but interesting Pokémon. Able to “possess” various electrical appliances around your home, Rotom can actually change its typing based on which item it is inhabiting. For example, when possessing a washing machine, Rotom takes the form of it and becomes Water/Electric-type. Since its introduction, Rotom hasn’t been given any new forms to use in battle, but it has been seen possessing some other devices....

With the recent release of the Isle of Armor DLC Expansion, over a hundred past-generation Pokémon made their triumphant return to Sword & Shield. Fan-favorites like Lycanroc, Bulbasaur and Squirtle, and Jigglypuff are finally back and available to the players who love them. However, there are still quite a few Pokémon that have been cut from the series that fans are heartbroken over. Many are hopeful that their faves will return in the upcoming Crown Tundra Expansion, slated for later this year....

Pokémon has existed for as long as I can remember. The TV show was always on television, and the games were always popular among the people I knew. I remember watching the TV show, and thinking to myself how much older all the characters were to me. Ash was ten, and the rest of the main cast, not including the grown-ups, were only a few years older. Heck, Jessie and James of Team Rocket are only supposed to be teenagers....

The Pokemon series has been the source of many hotly debated fan theories since the original Red & Blue were released for the GameBoy, covering everything from the true identity of Ditto to which gym leader may be Ash’s father. One theory that gathered a lot of traction in the early days of Pokemon, as well as one that has yet to die down or be debunked, is the Great War theory....

While it didn’t make as big a splash as other Ghost-type Pokemon introduced in generation five, Golett, as well as its evolution, Golurk, is available for the player to catch fairly early on in Sword & Shield. It is also one of the better Ghost-types that players can use for generation eight. Aside from the Ground-type being very useful in late-game battles, Golurk is also incredibly powerful in terms of stats and its movepool....

One of the best things about Pokemon is how remarkably diverse its almost 900-strong roster of magical creatures is. You’ve got everything from overgrown turtles with bazooka cannon shoulders to massive dogs with their skeletons on the wrong side of their skin. There are sentient ice cream cones and intelligent bags of rubbish, and massive ghost dragons who fire their babies off the top of their heads like heat-seeking missiles....

Pokemon GO’s holiday event has given players plenty to stay busy with in late December and there’s something in the game for everyone right now from egg hatching to double stardust to special spawns. In addition to all of that excitement, players can also try to hunt down a few new shiny creatures to add to their collection. The list of shiny creatures in Pokemon GO continues to grow this week as the special spawns for the holiday event bring a new exciting opportunities to the game....

Pokemon GO’s near constant stream of events has done a great job keeping players active and engaged during the last year or so. That trend isn’t showing signs of slowing down any time soon and in addition to the upcoming March Community Day event, it sounds like Niantic is also planning another Equinox Event for fans of the mobile AR Pokemon game. Although Pokemon GO hasn’t officially announced an event surrounding the March Equinox just yet, but reliable dataminer Chrales is back to Twitter with some Field Research code that suggests at least a few quests related to the upcoming seasonal event....

The very first Pokemon to be added from the Kalos region is now available in Pokemon GO raids after a series of strange teases over the weekend: The Psychic-type Pokemon Espurr. The strange cat-like Pokemon with glazed-over eyes hails from the Kalos region, and was first featured in Pokemon X and Pokemon Y. Along with the Kalos starters and a handful of other Pokemon, the cat and its twin-tailed evolution Meowstic were spotted by eagle-eyed Pokemon GO dataminers last week as being some of the first Pokemon from Kalos that will be added to the game....

It’s been a while since we’ve had an Adeptus Titanicus release, but fans of the game will be happy that the new sourcebook Adeptus Titanicus: The Defence of Ryza is available for preorder now. Games Workshop has been riding the Warhammer 40K train for the last couple of weeks, so it is nice to see the little big brother Adeptus Titanicus get some flavor. Set during the turbulent time of the Horus Heresy, the game harkens back to a time when “epic scale” roamed the barren landscape....

Although Prince of Persia was an extremely favored and well-known franchise at one point in time, the series’ popularity dwindled, particularly during the last generation of consoles. While a movie based on the series, The Sands of Time, came out in 2010, one can only surmise that the film’s poor quality managed to sully the brand’s name. However, there’s still a chance for the property to return to its former glory, as the creator Jordan Mechner recently stated that he’s working to resurrect the franchise....

Slightly Mad Studios officially announced Project Cars 3, confirming that the game will be released this summer. The developer’s CEO once alleged that EA had tried to “kill” the studio over a deal to make Need for Speed: Shift 3, but several years later and Slightly Mad is going nowhere. In a surprise announcement trailer released today, Slightly Mad confirmed that Project Cars 3 is now in development and will be released this summer on PC, PS4, and Xbox One....

Say goodbye to toothbrushes, cocktail sticks and other painstaking efforts to keep your consoles as shiny as the day you bought it. Thanks to the PlayStation 5’s next-gen “dust catchers”, you won’t have to worry about cleaning those hard to reach places. We’ve all experienced that eye-widening sound when your PlayStation 4 sounds like it’s about to take flight, as it tries to operate normally against an accumulation of dust. While all vented systems suffer from dust bunny invasions, the PlayStation 5 will introduce a new hardware mechanic that will aid the system’s performance and longevity....

The new console generation is here, and the PS5 launch has been big. PlayStation’s CEO has even extended a thank you to fans who waited for the release through the pre-order mix-ups and debacles. Of course, not everything about the new console generation launch is rosy. For the most part, the PS5 seems to be hitting well with players, but some are having troubles. One of the most prominent problems emerging for many players is a download glitch....

Rage 2 is less than a week away from its May 12 launch. To help remind those who may have been sleeping on Rage 2 and don’t know what the open world FPS is all about, Bethesda has released a brand new launch trailer for the game. The trailer is a lengthy three minute adventure filled with narrative, gameplay teases, and more. The teaser surprisingly begins with Rage 2’s supposed final boss, the leader of The Authority, General Cross....

These days, you’d lose a metaphorical hand to a studio’s red lightsaber if you dished details on any major upcoming plot twists. Media training for interviews, fake scripts, and so much green screen that the actors couldn’t even really tell you what was happening on set if they tried are all extremely commonplace behind the scenes of the big franchises, so that invested audiences get to experience that collective shock when Cap wields Mjolnir, or J....

Insomniac Games’ forthcoming remake of Ratchet and Clank for the PlayStation 4 gets an official release date in April as well as brand new gameplay footage. During this year’s PlayStation Experience in San Francisco, Ted Price, President and CEO of Insomniac Games, divulged the release date of the Ratchet and Clank remake for April 12, 2016, as it should come out close to the official movie inspired by the title. On top of the good news regarding the game’s availability, a fresh demo was also revealed, featuring tweaked gameplay features in addition to a new cache of weapons and objects for players to wield....

The Pokémon Let’s Go games have been promoted as loose remakes of Pokémon Yellow, down to including Pikachu as a starter and battling Team Rocket from the anime throughout the adventure. The latest trailer for Pokémon Let’s Go Pikachu & Let’s Go Eevee showed us the eight Gym Leaders and the members of the Elite Four, along with a few surprising characters… The end of the trailer shows an encounter with Blue (the rival from Pokémon Red & Blue who formed the basis for Gary Oak in the anime), Red (the protagonist of Pokémon Red & Blue who also appeared as an incredibly tough post-game boss in Pokémon Gold & Silver) and a girl who appears to be Leaf from Pokémon FireRed & LeafGreen, except that her design is closer to Green from the Pokémon Adventures manga....

Red Dead Redemption 2 is filled with systems and mechanics that can be a bit overwhelming at first glance. One mechanic that players are introduced to during Arthur Morgan’s story is the Honor system. The Honor bar at the bottom of the HUD basically represents how the residents of the land view Arthur, and can affect everything from how they greet Arthur to the success rate of defusing a situation. Here is how the Honor system works in Red Dead Redemption 2....
