For every Legend Of Zelda game, there is almost always a new incarnation of Princess Zelda of Hyrule to fulfill the never-ending prophecy. Despite her name being in the title of almost every game in the franchise, she is often a supporting cast member who is missing throughout the game but steals the show when she finally joins. Just like Link and their mortal enemy Ganondorf, Zelda herself has seen various redesigns since the first game’s release with a ton of variety and different alterations....

This Star Wars: The Mandalorian article contains spoilers. Well, that was a very short-lived cameo, wasn’t it? In a surprise post-credits scene, Jabba the Hutt’s former majordomo Bib Fortuna returns to Star Wars live-action just long enough to get blasted off his dead boss’ throne. Played once again by veteran Star Wars engineer Matthew Wood, who also played Fortuna in an uncredited role in The Phantom Menace and later voiced General Grievous in Revenge of the Sith, the Twi’lek seems to be running things on Tatooine before Boba Fett shows up....

Plenty of high profile titles were shown off at E3 this year, and while we can’t wait to dig into them, most of these games won’t be releasing for a few more months. But fret not, gamers, there are still plenty of releases coming this June! Vita owners can look forward to the highly anticipated Gravity Rush this month, in addition to a port of the Metal Gear Solid HD Collection, while PSP owners who still haven’t upgraded to Sony’s new handheld can enjoy Gungnir....

Stalker 2 developers from the Ukrainian studio GSC Game World occasionally tease that “2021 is a very important year for the project,” though the game has never officially received a more specific release window. Now, a Stalker 2 voice actor hinted that the project “may be coming by winter” on PC and Xbox Series X|S. The Stalker franchise has its dedicated fans, who have eagerly awaited the arrival of its sequel for years....

Stardew Valley is a deceptively simple-looking game. In truth, there’s so much to accomplish that it can get pretty overwhelming and convoluted quickly. Most importantly, the game doesn’t hold your hand. It simply drops you down into your farm and the rest of it is up to you to figure out. With how many different crafting recipes and cool items there are in the game, it’s important to know where to find the crafting ingredients and basic resources needed to make them....

Gen 6 Pokemon officially arrive in Pokemon Go for the first time today as a week-long Kalos event gets underway. The summer of 2016 during which it felt like everyone was playing Pokemon Go has never felt further away than it has done in 2020. The pandemic that has gripped us for the majority of this year has had a big effect on the game. Since Niantic created Pokemon Go to be played with friends outside, lockdowns and social distancing meant some big changes had to be made to allow trainers to keep playing....

On January 2, Steam broke its own record as the concurrent number of users on the platform reached a staggering 25 million. That’s akin to half of England logging in at the same time. That being said, only 7.4 million of those were in-game compared to March’s 8.1 million in 2020. The users in-game naturally flocked to the big three: Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, Dota 2, and PLAYERUNKNOWN’S BATTLEGROUNDS. That being said, Cyberpunk 2077 is still ahead of Grand Theft Auto V, even if only by a hair, while Team Fortress 2, Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege, Rust, Apex Legends, and ARK: Survival Evolve trail behind....

A cascade of rumors regarding Warner Bros. and Rocksteady Studios’ next game came together this week, hinting that the Batman Arkham developer’s next game may be Suicide Squad. The news stems from two independent rumors, both of which should be met with a high level of skepticism. The first is an anonymous supposed leak of Warner Bros. marketing plans tied to an unnamed DC Comics property, while the second is a chain of related posts and comments tied to Rocksteady’s new game being Suicide Squad....

With the release of Pokémon Sword & Shield’s new expansion, The Isle of Armor, players have access to 100 new returning Pokémon to draft onto their teams. But for those players who have already beaten the Isle of Armor and are starting to get bored of breeding the perfect shinies, what is there left to do? A monotype run has always been an interesting alternative for players looking to spice up a Pokémon campaign, and for some trainers, the allure of becoming the bad guy with an all dark team is just too fun to ignore....

Tales from the Borderlands is coming back to digital storefronts next week after the game was delisted due to Telltale’s closure. This news comes from the Borderlands 3 Twitter account which made the announcement on Wednesday. Tales From the Borderlands will be available on digital storefronts on PC, PS4, and Xbox One on February 17. The game will also be playable on Xbox Series X/S and PS5 via backward compatibility. There was no announcement of the game coming to Nintendo Switch at any point in the future....

When Apple announced it was turning an eight-year-old commercial about an American football coach taking over a Premier League club into a series, not many people were expecting it to be a success. However, Ted Lasso won over viewers with his unflinching positivity, Roy Kent might be one of the funniest characters on TV and the show scooped up multiple Emmy Awards in 2021, including Outstanding Comedy Series - which it also won again in 2022, so it’s safe to say it’s done pretty well....

The Queen Bee is an optional boss players can face in Terraria. While she is not relevant to the story the items she drops can be immensely helpful to a player’s progress. The Bee Gun, Bee Keeper, The Bee’s Knees, and the Beenade are strong weapons that can summon bees to swarm opponents. For the Beenades alone players should consider farming her. That being said she can be tricky to fight if the player is unprepared....

Infinity Ward recently released its contribution to the massively popular battle royale genre, Call of Duty: Warzone, where one hundred and fifty players duke it out on the massive Verdansk map. While the game has received rave reviews so far, it is not perfect. Plenty of small but notable issues prevent it from reaching its true potential. Should Infinity Ward remedy the problems listed below, then they really have a shot at a long-lasting, living game....

Fighting games are great because they’re a conversation between the two players that happens without words. Learning each other’s tendencies, bad habits, and quirks that make each other’s style unique is what makes fighting games so fun. Some characters are designed to capitalize on those tendencies and shut them down specifically. Usually, these characters are built to check how much a player knows about them, or they’re designed to restrict a normal game plan....

Over the past few decades, video games have become one of the most unique forms of storytelling available in modern media. Even though video games got their start as nothing more than games, they have evolved radically over the years, not only changing the way we play games but the way that we enjoy a story as well. Long gone are the days of simply racking up a high score or saving a damsel in distress....

When 33-year-old George Lucas finally got the green light to film his dream film, space epic Star Wars: A New Hope, not even he could have imagined how successful and influential the film would turn out to be. The film grossed over $775 million worldwide, was the third highest grossing film of all time, and made household names out of stars Mark Hamill, Harrison Ford, and Carrie Fisher. Two sequels and three prequels followed along with an animated television series, a multitude of books and comics, various video games, and many other assorted properties....

We’re living in a golden age for romance games. No matter your orientation, taste or capacity for all out weirdness, there’s a title out there to suit your needs. But love can often sneak up on you when you’re not looking for it, and video games are no different. Sometimes, the best romantic stories aren’t even the main focus of a game. But it’s not always a hit, either. Unsurprisingly for a medium that started off using romance as an excuse to shoot bad guys, some video games just don’t reach the mark when it comes to crafting love stories in the background....

Call Of Duty: Warzone is a mass battle royale where to win you have to be smart, brutal, and most of all, unseen. This is where your choice in skin comes into play. The newest battle royale to hit PCs and consoles everywhere took the top spot in popularity almost instantly. Warzone allowed Call Of Duty fans to play as their favorite operators in a game mode that changed the pace and variety of the top-selling Activision franchise....

What if players got the chance to become a part of their favorite Disney film? Moreover, what if gamers got to meet their favorite Square Enix characters? Thanks to Kingdom Hearts, players not only get to have an adventure with Donald and Goofy, but they do so while saving both their favorite Disney and Final Fantasy worlds. In fact, thanks to Kingdom Hearts 3, hardcore Disney and FF fans experience quite an engrossing story along the way....

Spooky season isn’t just about candy and trauma (although we enjoy those things as much as the next person), it’s also a perfect time to gather together for giggles. Horror and comedy go hand in hand and as well as the classics like An American Werewolf in London, Young Frankenstein and Army of Darkness the 21st century has coughed up plenty of new gems. We’ve rounded up 13 of our favourite to delight and amuse you this Halloween....
