The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is one of the most anticipated games next to Modern Warfare 3 and Uncharted 3 this holiday season. While Skyrim may not hit the sales numbers that either Uncharted or Modern Warfare sold, it’s still a significant and high caliber title worth checking out. Skyrim is an important title for the gaming industry because it strays away from a trend that many developers have jumped on for the past few years, and that’s catering to the casual market....

Japan is a country rife with a unique culture of its own that people from all over the world have become highly invested in, and for good reason. After all, the fact of the matter is that this culture that we speak of has leaked out in a manner that is nothing short of amazing, allowing millions to embrace what is one of the most unique yet engrossing experiences that the Land of the Rising Sun churns out on a constant basis....

The intense and exciting battle royale romp, Apex Legends, is known for a satisfying selection of weaponry. Given the quickness of the action, and how little time most players end up possessing weapons thanks to random elements and no respawns, it can be tricky to get a real grasp on how each gun measures up. You’ve also got a number of modifications and nerfs via game updates, coupled with the recent Season 2 rollout on July 2nd....

The Art of Crash Bandicoot 4 is a new coffee table book that collects and chronicles an enormous amount of concept art from the making of Crash 4. The comprehensive tome is as much about the history of designing the visual style of the game as it is a display of artwork. The talent and passion of the entire art team is practically exploding out of every colorful page of this 300+ page collector’s book....

This year, Easter falls on April 4th. Games with annual events, like mobile games and MMOs, are gearing up to release their springtime events. As Easter is symbolic of the revival of life springtime brings, many games incorporate it in some way for the season. While Easter may not be as big a holiday as Halloween or Christmas, it’s still a fun time of year with many opportunities for gaming events....

Jurassic World Evolution is a fun simulation game that allows players to create a massive theme park and populate it with dinosaurs they bioengineer into existence. True to business simulation games, it requires you to balance the needs of the dinosaurs, employees, and visitors while ensuring everything runs smoothly and the dinosaurs don’t escape. However, even in a video game, it can be tough to run a business. Some players may wish to be able to focus their attention on that which interests them the most without getting distracted by other things....

Introduced as the main antagonist of Dragon Ball Z’s first story arc, Vegeta was an immediate game changer for the franchise. Instead of getting killed off as was originally intended, Vegeta survived his bout with Goku and was shipped off to Namek where he would actually hold onto the main character spot for a good chunk of the saga. It’s his story we follow until Goku shows up on Namek, and it’s his fights we watch with glee....

Ubisoft Massive’s Ryan Barnard, the game director who worked on The Division, has left the studio after accepting an offer for a position at IO Interactive. The announcement came from a post made on IO Interactive’s company website, and comes hot on the heels of The Division’s massive critical and financial successes. While the deal with Barnard was likely reached prior to the release of Ubisoft’s MMORPG/shooter hybrid, the news that The Division set a new IP sales record in its first week is sure to make IO Interactive confident about its decision to acquire Barnard....

This article contains The Falcon and the Winter Soldier episode 4 spoilers. From the moment he was first introduced, The Falcon and the Winter Soldier has been drawing very clear distinctions between how Wyatt Russell’s John Walker approaches being Captain America compared to Steve Rogers. While he only appeared for a brief moment at the end of the first episode, one detail that immediately stood out was the semi-automatic pistol prominently displayed on his hip....

The debut of The Falcon and the Winter Soldier is right around the corner and the new series hopes to continue the success WandaVision started by bringing the MCU into the television format. Excitement for the series is high with the various trailers and images teasing an action-adventure on the scale of the MCU’s movies. The show also looks to delve deeper into the characters of Sam Wilson and Bucky Barnes who had been supporting characters in the MCU up until now....

Mobile gaming and traditional gaming platforms frequently attract different customers. PC and console fans typically spend their money on games that feel worth the $60 purchase, which usually means a much larger time investment. Graphics are also typically more important in traditional gaming, and many players like in-depth stories rather than quick timesinks. On the other hand, mobile gaming tends to be all about the quick distraction. The most popular games—Angry Birds, Candy Crush, and Clash of Clans for instance—can all be played in bite-sized chunks while waiting at the doctor’s office or on your lunch break....

I’ve already written about how Journey made me feel truly lonely. It was a strange feeling brought about due to its deliberately limited communication options. Because I couldn’t talk to the person I was playing the game with, I had to experience a goodbye before I fully understood why it was happening. It was powerful - I went from one half of a brave adventuring duo to a lost soul wandering through icy ruins....

To get through The Last of Us Part II, players need to fight against hordes of fungal zombies and armed humans, leading to some truly brutal combat.

Below are the locations of each weapon, as well as some information about what to upgrade....

Ellie and Abby were the two playable characters in The Last of Us Part 2, and players got to spend a good amount of time with both of them learning about their motivations and character traits. Although both of these characters have done some very nice things for their friends, there were still many decisions that they made during the events of The Last of Us Part 2 that made fans angry....

Free rein exploration within a game - particularly of the open-world genre - allows you to uncover the finer aspects of the developer’s craft. However, the closer you look isn’t always rewarding, but in The Last of Us 2’s case, it further illustrates Naughty Dog’s attention to detail. We’re not too far away from the successor’s one-year anniversary, The Last of Us fans are still keen on finding hidden details. For example, a new dodge technique was recently discovered involving Ellie’s ability to dive backwards away from a Bloater, and shoot it from her downed position at the same time....

The Champions of Hyrule are one the most liked characteristics of Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, as their voiced dialogue and unique personalities made fans love them the instant they were introduced. Players liked them so much that they made—and are still making—funny comics and memes about them. Now let’s take a look at some memes of the champions while we wait for Breath of the Wild 2. Sure, it’s still a long wait, but it doesn’t hurt to wait while having fun looking at funny pictures....

While the Mario franchise is full of games that worked their way from an idea to a playable title, not every one made it to the finish line.

Get ready to jump into action; here are 10 games featuring characters from the Mario franchise that were never released to the public....

Jonathan Lee is a designer whose work has appeared in Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones and the Bond movie Tomorrow Never Dies, but his latest job is perhaps his most iconic yet – production designer for Star Trek: Strange New Worlds. In particular, Lee was responsible for designing much of the interior for the latest iteration of the world’s most famous starship.
