Roguelikes have been getting a ton of love lately. One of the biggest games of 2020 was Hades, Supergiant Games’ roguelike inspired by Greek mythology. Hades has already had its day in the sun, but the roguelike genre isn’t going anywhere. One game that’s still on the way is Returnal, the new IP from Finnish developer Housemarque. This PS5 exclusive has been turning heads for a few months, ever since it was revealed last summer in the heat of Sony and PlayStation’s battle for console supremacy....

The new game is titled Amazing Alex - about a curious young boy who loves to build things....

The Nintendo Switch Pro announcement rumours went into overdrive earlier this week, as a Bloomberg report suggested that the next variant of the handheld console could be out as soon as September, and maybe even announced at E3 next month. It now appears that we may have additional details about the next Switch thanks to Spanish website, Vandal. As spotted by VGC, Vandal claims that it has received information about the console via a source from a peripheral manufacturer in Asia....

Ahead of E3 2021, an old blog post has been circulating, documenting an account from the same expo twenty years prior. Written by longtime Nintendo director Masahiro Sakurai, he recounts his experience of showing Super Smash Bros. Melee to western fans for the first time, and reveals some interesting tidbits on the showcase. Perhaps most notable is how he was genuinely quite surprised that western gamers enjoyed the E3 2001 Melee demo so much....

Following the massive success of Steven Spielberg’s groundbreaking Jurassic Park in 1993, sequels were inevitable. Michael Crichton, author of the original novel, even wrote one himself, The Lost World, which served as the loose basis for Spielberg’s own cinematic sequel, 1997’s The Lost World: Jurassic Park. When that made a ton of money as well, plans were put in motion for Jurassic Park III. It would be four years before that film arrived in theaters, however, and a number of things changed during that time....

We are losing forests at the equivalent rate of 48 football fields per minute. Yes, minute. Less than one per cent of the earth’s water is fresh and accessible.

After a morning of rumors regarding the fate of Platinum Games’ Scalebound, Microsoft has officially announced that development of the action-RPG has been cancelled. Scalebound has been one of the most highly anticipated titles for the Xbox One ever since its announcement during Microsoft’s keynote presentation during E3 2014. The third-person action RPG was being directed by Resident Evil 2, Devil May Cry, and Bayonetta director Hideki Kamiya. It involved fighting alongside and riding a giant dragon....

After a weekend like this, one might wonder if folks huddled around a Disney conference table are giving the whole “Premier Access” thing on Disney+ a rethink. They should since the Shang-Chi box office obliterated previous Labor Day weekend records and is currently on track to earn upwards of $85 million over the four-day holiday in the U.S. The superhero origin story, which introduces a new masked avenger to the Marvel Cinematic Universe—a first for the studio since Captain Marvel back in spring 2019—posted the third best opening day during the COVID-19 pandemic by grossing an estimated $29....

If you’re anything like me (if you’re reading these types of articles, we likely have some things in common), you probably grew up watching cartoons. For many of us, cartoons have helped shape our childhoods, our sense of humor, and even the way we see things. I remembered getting up early on Saturday mornings, or rushing home after school to catch the latest episodes of some of my favorite shows. Even today, I love to see what’s new in the animation world and I have a few shows I’m currently following....

With so much hype around Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War, many have been sharing their views of the game online. It’s no surprise that some popular Twitch streamers who play games in the franchise have their own opinions on this upcoming title, and it appears that Shroud has a positive outlook on this game. Michael “Shroud” Grzesiek recently returned to Twitch after Microsoft decided to shut down Mixer, bringing with him many viewers happy to watch his return to streaming....

Perhaps no game in recent memory burned as brightly for so short a time as Silent Hills. The collaborative effort between Guillermo del Toro and Hideo Kojima took the video game world by storm when it was announced just over a year ago, with a demo that shattered expectations and a buzz that had the survival horror crowd shaking with anticipation. Fans of the genre rejoiced, game journalists prepared themselves for a future review week full of wondrous nightmares, and the industry held its breath, waiting for more news about the all-star team behind Silent Hills....

When senior Bethesda game designer Emil Pagliarulo wrote that line for the town guards of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, he had no idea that 2011’s RPG of the year would turn into the source of 2011’s meme of the year. Not since “$599 US Dollars” or barrel rolls has a video game meme become so criminally overused that even non-gamers have likely had enough by now. Believe us, the only reason we’re using it is because we now know the tale of how this once innocent line became quite the proverbial knee-slapper....

With Call of Duty XP taking place as this is being written, there’s an abundance of Call of Duty related news that has started making its way out to the public. While the big name of the event is, of course, Modern Warfare 3, there was at one point a third-person CoD game being developed by Sledgehammer Games. The developer, who ended up working with Infinity Ward to make Modern Warfare 3, has opened up about what a third-person Call of Duty game would have been like....
