Dogs have long been a staple companion in all manner of post-apocalyptic stories. Thanks to a recent tweet, it seems that The Last of Us: Part 2 may have a canine companion joining the likes of Fallout 4’s Dogmeat - just in time for the Year of the Dog, no less. The first Last of Us game focused on the relationship between Joel and Ellie as they ventured through the decrepit remains of civilization....
In an interview with The Last Of Us Part II’s director Neil Druckmann, the second game will “dismantle” the first game’s ending. He said the following: He didn’t explain what that means exactly, but it sure sounds juicy. He then described the time he saw a video of a lynching, and how the feelings he experienced spurred his curiosity around instilling similar tumultuous feelings within gamers: The first game is so sacred....
Anticipation for STALKER 2, sequel to the 2007 cult hit survival game, is understandably high. It should be no surprise then that Xbox announcing STALKER 2’s inclusion in its upcoming ID@Xbox showcase led to a lot of excitement. It seems, however, that the announcement was somewhat misrepresented. STALKER 2’s developers are now working to scale back fan expectations for the event, saying that while it will be involved there won’t be any significant reveals....
By the fall of 2005, Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith finished its tour in theatres and the world assumed Star Wars forever concluded its theatrical presence. To the surprise and delight of many, six years later, Lucasfilm was sold to Disney for $4.05 billion. The engine was reignited. Disney promptly promised new Star Wars and more Star Wars and so much Star Wars that fans were compelled to surgically extend their jaws to ram it all down....
The Empire Strikes Back is a masterpiece of blockbuster cinema and the standard by which we measure all other big-screen space adventures. But before it became the magnum opus of the original Star Wars trilogy, the spark that would become The Empire Strikes Back floated in the nothingness of space, waiting for its big bang. When Star Wars premiered in May 1977, the saga’s sequel could have gone either the low-budget or blockbuster route....
On August 21 EA DICE will unveil Star Wars: Battlefront 2’s Starfighter Assault mode live gameplay, but today the fun starts early with the debut of the mode’s official trailer. Space battles have been one of the most requested additions to Star Wars: Battlefront since players realized EA DICE’s first game wouldn’t include them. Starfighter Assault is EA DICE’s response, a fully-featured game mode pitting the dark and light sides of the force against each other in iconic spaceships....
Star Wars Battlefront 2 may be best known for the controversy surrounding its microtransactions, but the game’s planned content is still marching forward for the players who have stuck around. Fans of the game are about to be in for a new world of content inspired by Solo: A Star Wars Story when the new batch of Han Solo season content arrives June 12. The game’s Han Solo content is all about the galaxy’s most famous smuggler and this upcoming batch of Star Wars Battlefront 2 content focuses on locations, vehicles, and costumes from the most recent Star Wars film....
There is no telling how successful a game is going to be until it’s released. Whether it’s out on PC, console or any other platform, developers need a way to convince gamers to purchase their final products. This is why Steam has been holding its Game Festival event and even though the PC platform has already had its first Game Festival of 2021, it’s already preparing for its next one....
A few weeks ago, Valve upset several game developers and gamers when the company threatened to remove games over sexual content from its digital distribution platform, Steam. Then, once again, the company found itself in more hot water when it was discovered Active Shooter - a SWAT-based game that allowed players to play as the shooter - was going to go live on its platform. Before it did, however, Steam removed the game, leaving many wondering exactly what was allowed on the platform....
Farming simulator Story of Seasons: Friends of Mineral Town, is a remake of Harvest Moon: Friends of Mineral Town and More Friends of Mineral Town. It has been released under the Story of Seasons name due to a rift between developers Marvelous and publisher Natsume. As with many games of this type, players take on the task of running and renovating a farm that was left to them by their grandfather....
Story of Seasons: Pioneers of Olive Town first made its debut back in March of this year and was an instant hit with gamers of all ages. Created by the masterminds at Marvelous Inc. and XSEED Games, Story of Seasons: Pioneers of Olive Town is one of the most anticipated farming sim games of 2021. A picture of delight, the world of Olive Town is full of vibrant colors, happy tunes, and cutesy animation....
In my preview of Story of Seasons: Pioneers of Olive Town, I was relatively limited to what I was able to disclose, but I was excited to experience everything that Olive Town and its residents had to offer as both a newcomer to the town, as well as a newcomer to the farming sim genre. Coming into Pioneers of Olive Town, I was familiar enough with the genre thanks to my time spent playing other titles within the same vein, such as Summer in Mara and the more recently released (on Switch) Littlewood....
Still, through three seasons of nostalgia-tinged spookies, Stranger Things has mostly stayed in the realm of monsters. Whether it was the Demogorgon, its “Demo-dogs”, or the skyscraper-sized Mind Flayer, Stranger Things’ big bads have been more Dungeons & Dragons style creatures from the Upside Down rather than your traditional things-that-go-bump-in-the-night spirits. Perhaps, however, that is all set to change with Stranger Things season 4. During Netflix’s global fan event, TUDUM, Stranger Things creators The Duffer Brothers and actors Gaten Matarazzo (Dustin Henderson) and Joe Keery (Steve Harrington) unveiled the latest sneak peek at the upcoming season set to premiere in 2022....
Street Fighter 5’s third Beta is going live on Friday, and here are all the available pre-order deals for the Steam version of the game. At the stroke of midnight, 12:01 AM PST on December 18th, the closed Street Fighter V’s Beta is on. Entry is gained by pre-ordering, and while paying $60 on Steam is probably fine for a die hard fan of the series, there are cheaper ways to do it from authorized Capcom retailers....
If lockdown leaves you craving the brave outdoors - where you’re free to leap-frog over any obstacle in your way - then this upcoming parkour game may be the escape you need. Stride will be arriving on the PlayStation VR early this year, and promises a little more “high-octane” action than that scene from The Office. Developer Joy Way first released Stride’s Early Access on Steam, Oculus, and Viveport back in September 2020....
Aaron Moorhead and Justin Benson’s most mainstream endeavor yet is set to be released next month. Synchronic, a new feature from the directors of Spring, Resolution and The Endless, stars former Mr. Grey, Jamie Dornan and Marvel’s new Captain America, Anthony Mackie. It promises to be just as fascinating as Moorhead and Benson’s previous flicks, if this first trailer is anything to go by, however, when the film originally screened at the 2019 Toronto International Film Festival, critics were conflicted over comparisons to the pair’s previously stellar efforts....
It’s like they always say. When something is done right, people will think nothing is being done at all. Perhaps nowhere is this more apparent than the Academy Awards ceremonies. Thanks to a rare behind-the-scenes video, viewers can now enjoy a small taste of the energy and precision involved in ensuring the camera work at these ceremonies goes just right. The 1997 Oscars (though the video mistakenly lists the year as 1996), directed by Louis J....

The 1980s was a unique time that saw many different changes in society and culture. It was a decade that saw the fall of the Berlin Wall, the first time computers were brought into homes and saw the Cold War enter its final chapters. It was also a really important era for video games since it was the first time they were considered mainstream. The industry rose, nearly collapsed and then rose again during this decade and saw the release of consoles such as the Atari 2600 and Nintendo Entertainment System....
