Nintendo has done strong work to build some strong properties over the years and as much as Mario has become the company’s most prominent, there’s been a real increase in popularity in The Legend of Zelda franchise. Zelda titles have gone on to define Nintendo consoles just as much as Super Mario games have and Link has grown into one of the most beloved characters from their lengthy history. The Zelda games are full of important characters and relics, but the Triforce is usually a defining artifact in most entries....

Hinterland Studio’s The Long Dark is a lonely and serene survival adventure set in the Canadian tundra. A mysterious electromagnetic apocalypse has left you, an ex-bush pilot named Will Mackenzie, in a hostile environment riddled with challenges. Fortunately, there are collectibles along the way that can help you on your journey. Appropriate clothing is essential for survival in The Long Dark, but it can be challenging to know which clothes are the best....

Upcoming horror game The Medium will not feature any weapons, developer Bloober Team confirms. Out of all of the confirmed Xbox Series X games, this would make The Medium only one of few that doesn’t feature some type of gun, sword, or any other traditional weapon. Speaking to Edge magazine (August 2020, Issue #347), The Medium producer Jacek Zieba said that the best horror games are those in which the player is only able to hide from danger....

Nintendo’s latest sales figures have revealed that the company’s newest console has almost outsold its first, as the Switch is close to outselling the NES. The Nintendo Entertainment System was Nintendo’s first foray into the console market and it helped to save the industry following the video game crash of 1983. If it wasn’t for the NES and its library of killer titles, then the video game industry as we know it would look very different....

The dedicated Star Citizen community has already managed to raise over 43 million dollars (making it the most successful crowd-funded project ever) and from what we’ve seen so far that money is being put to good use. In addition to bringing some major talent on board, previews and early access to the game are also approaching completion. Backers have a had a chance to walk around the hangar a bit in the first module release, but backers haven’t had a chance to jump into the action and get a taste of the game that their donations helped bring to life....

Times may be dark, but at least we have a new Star Trek show on the horizon. Star Trek: Lower Decks, a half-hour animated comedy series from Rick and Morty‘s Mike McMahan is set to premiere in less than a month and CBS just dropped our best look yet at it. Check out the full-length trailer for Lower Decks below… As you can tell from the trailer, Lower Decks will focus not on the bridge crew of one of Starfleet’s most impressive ships, but rather the support crew of one of its least important ones....

Mild spoilers for Picard Season 1 ahead. More than any of the new Star Trek series, Picard is the one that is the most stuffed with obvious Trekkie nostalgia. Yes, when Strange New Worlds starts showing some footage, we might feel differently, but because Picard is a sequel to the ‘90s-era of Trek, for this present moment, it connects with various generations of Trekkies at the same time. On “First Contact Day,” Paramount+ dropped a minimalist, spare teaser-trailer, similar to the vineyard teaser for Picard Season 1....

To the casual viewer, the Jedi are the stoic, unflappable heroes of the cosmos. We grieve over their sacrifices, and we cherish their triumphs. Yet, hardcore Star Wars fans will no doubt understand that the Jedi Order isn’t nearly as pristine as they would have you believe. While they might look like they are the sole purveyors of good in a galaxy riddled with evil, tons of their efforts are misguided, and their closed-minded approach to policing the universe has nearly caused more trouble than it has solved....

When you think of the Imperial Army, the first image that probably comes to your head is a group of stormtroopers in shiny white-plated armor. Over time, stormtroopers have become synonymous with whoever is the big bad in the Star Wars universe. The Empire had them, and now the sequels have a new breed of stormtroopers serving the First Order. Despite the fact that stormtroopers are typically part of the “bad guy’s” team, many people enjoy dressing up as them for conventions and emulating their behavior at cosplay competitions....

Star Wars: Squadrons puts players in the shoes of a pilot for the Empire and the New Republic, offering players the chance to live out their fantasies of being an ace pilot in the Star Wars universe. With multiplayer and single-player modes, fans are beginning to wonder how many missions Star Wars: Squadrons contains. Luckily, there is a decent number. Players will be able to fly their way through 14 missions in Star Wars: Squadrons, plus a prologue that serves as the tutorial for the game....

With fans the world over swooning over today’s official release of Star Wars Battlefront 2’s reveal trailer, many players are already wondering what’s on the horizon for the forthcoming science fiction shooter’s DLC plans. Although the developers at DICE and Electronic Arts have yet to actually provide details regarding the type of content that the expansions will contain, the game’s creative director, Bernd Diemer, confirmed ahead of the title’s reveal at Star Wars Celebration 2017 that the shooter will not have a season pass for its DLC....

Without a doubt, the confirmation of StarCraft Remastered’s release date has plenty of real-time strategy aficionados practically champing at the bit in anticipation of being able to revisit the title with newly updated graphics and audio. Now, in order to further excite the title’s legions of fans, Blizzard has put out the first installment in a series of videos that explores the original game’s origins by looking back at the development process it underwent....

Xbox revealed a new Destiny 2: Beyond Light trailer during their Games Showcase today, while also revealing some exciting Destiny news for Xbox Series X and Project xCloud. The 1-minute trailer is more or less a montage of Stasis abilities, the new energy type confirmed to be coming in the fall expansion, Beyond Light. Stasis is the 4th energy type, alongside solar, void, and arc, and will bring new subclasses and weapon types to the game....

GeForce Now, Nvidia’s online game streaming service, will now sync up with your Steam library so you can play PC games from anywhere. GeForce Now has been steadily trucking along since its release earlier this year. While some game publishers haven’t been all that enthusiastic with Nvidia’s game streaming service, others have taken up the call to stream with great vigor. Steam has been the big platform that has been all about GeForce Now, and now you can sync up your GeForce and Steam accounts to make playing streamed games a breeze....

Story of Seasons: Friends of Mineral Town has already been released in Japan but western gamers are yet to receive a localized version of the title. Fans will be relieved that the title will eventually come and it seems that the western version will have some differences to the already available Japanese Story of Seasons: Friends of Mineral Town. The latest change to be implemented is the ability to have same-sex marriage in the game....

While hands-on time with the games that will be populating the coming year is a large part of Los Angeles’ upcoming E3 gaming trade show, surprise announcements regularly steal the limelight. This year it seems as though significant announcements are coming earlier and earlier with leaks appearing just as frequently. The newest addition to the list of possible E3 showcases is an upcoming Ubisoft project entitled Hero. Having recently released next-gen poster-child Watch Dogs and officially announced the next iteration in the Far Cry series, it’s no secret that Ubisoft is one of the strongest gaming contenders out there....

Capcom releases the launch trailer for Street Fighter 5’s upcoming Story Mode and Character DLC featuring Ibuki and Balrog, plus other friends. Shadaloo is up to their old tricks, which generally sums up the entirety of the Street Fighter franchise lore. M. Bison, Balrog, Vega, and Sagat are the four pillars, the grandmasters of the Shadaloo organization. In Street Fighter V they’re using the “Black Moons” to drive the planet into chaos....

Contains spoilers for Suits seasons 1-6. Anchored by a great cast of characters and a fine line in witty repartee, Suits has been going strong since 2011, slowly gathering steam and fans. Created by Aaron Korsh, Suits’ best moments are a product of the well-drawn characters and their relationships. With the end of the sixth season, here are thirteen scenes which highlight Suits’ ensemble at their best (and worst). The first meeting/blackmail (season 1, episode 1) “I got knocked into a different life and I have been wishing for a way back ever since....

While Super Mario 3D World‘s original 2013 launch on the Nintendo Wii U could certainly be considered a success, it’s also clear that this underappreciated Mario platformer was held back at least somewhat by the platform itself. The Wii U, a confusing follow up to the much more successful Wii, sold well below projections, forcing Nintendo to ditch the platform (and its library of games) much sooner than it had planned....
