Rocket League Is My Game Of The Year

Rocket League is one of 2015’s surprise hit games. Find out what makes Rocket League so popular, and why one Game Rant writer considers it his Game of the Year. As we near the end of 2015, I find myself looking back at 2015’s biggest games, wondering which I consider my personal Game of the Year.

Rockstar Games Withholds Spoilers To Preserve Magical Experience

In the gaming industry, surprises are hard to come by. It’s not hard to think about; Game Rant exists to serve a ravenous fan-base, eager to gobble up any and all bits of information about unreleased games. Readers demand information, and we do our best to satisfy that demand. However, one studio has tried to maintain some semblance of surprise and information control in this very fast-paced digital age. Rockstar Games, responsible for the Grand Theft Auto series as well as the upcoming Max Payne 3, has been notoriously quiet in regards to offering spoilers and previews....

Rpgs Are Better When You Have A Home Base That Changes With The Story

Home is an anchor. It’s the place where our story begins, and a sanctuary where we’re safe from the wider world. It feels good to leave home - that flutter of excitement as you wake up for an early morning flight - but it feels just as good to come back. I’ve always found it fascinating how there’s no bed better than your own bed, even if you just spent a weekend in a luxury hotel with an objectively better mattress than the one at home, which has a you-shaped indent in it....

Rumor Guitar Hero Will Join Rock Band For 2015 Release On Current Gen

In terms of popularity, the music rhythm genre was once right up there with first person shooters. Unfortunately, though, sales of the genre soon dropped off due to the sheer amount of music games that were released at the time, the amount of space that the games’ plastic peripherals took up and the high cost of buying controllers and the accompanying software. The global recession of 2008 didn’t help matters either as people didn’t have as much extra money to spend on unleashing their inner rock god....

Shang Chi Trailer Teases New Era For Mcu Visuals

It’s not what you’re used to seeing in a Marvel Studios release: bright neon light casting Simu Liu and his on screen opponent in neon silhouette; a dazzling array of forested trees acting as both venue and enraptured audience for a fight scene in the woods; just even an occasional emphasis on shadows, period. Yet all these things and more are visible in the new Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings trailer....

Shanghai Dragons Add Kong Quatermain To Coaching Staff

The 2020 season of the Overwatch League is, understandably, unlike previous seasons in that matches are being conducted online rather than in arenas with live audiences. As a result of the need for online play, teams are essentially locked into playing against only the other teams located within their general vicinity. This has resulted in a few teams that are considered contenders for best in the league unable to compete against one another until cross-region play returns....

Should Pokemon Go Change Back After Coronavirus

At this point, the coronavirus has caused many business, countries, and individuals to change a lot about the way they operate. Although the obvious impact of this relates to which business are allowed to stay open and which employees are deemed “essential” there are smaller impacts throughout all of our lives - including the world of video games (like the cancellation of E3 2020). The move to social distancing in many countries and extended stay-at-home orders around the world very well could’ve been the nail in the coffin for a mobile AR game like Pokemon GO....

Should You Buy A Google Stadia At Launch

There is often an argument to be made against purchasing a new video game console on the day of release. It’s usually smarter to wait at least a year after the launch of a new system, as there will be a better line-up of games, the early bugs will have been ironed out, missing features would have been added in, and there will likely be some kind of bundle or deal in regards to purchasing the console at a cheaper price....

Skyrim 5 Possible Canon Endings For The Civil War Leading Into Elder Scrolls 6

Fans still know little about the upcoming sixth installment in the Elder Scrolls franchise.

Yet, speculation still abounds as to the game’s story—including how the events of Skyrim potentially impacted the next game. The myriad choices and possible outcomes in Skyrim mean that come Elder Scrolls 6, the world could look very different depending on what endings and quest results the developers deem canon....
