The hype is already strong with Star Wars fans for the upcoming Star Wars Battlefront, but thanks to a new trailer revealed at Sony’s Paris Games Week press conference, gamer excitement is more palpable than ever. After watching the trailer, it’s easy to see why Star Wars Battlefront, which launches in just under a month, is shaping up to be one of the biggest games of the year....

Nintendo briefly became “Intendo” today, as the typhoon that is currently battering Japan has managed to remove the first letter from the sign outside of the gaming giant’s main offices in Kyoto. Japan is currently in the grip of Typhoon Jebi, which is the worst storm of its kind in the past twenty-five years. The country has been ground to a standstill, as Internet access and telecommunications services have been shut down across the nation, with almost all air services terminated until further notice....

An enterprising Street Fighter fan mines the Street Fighter V PC Beta to find audio clips that hint at the inclusion of fan favorites such as Alex and Juri. When Capcom pulled back the curtain on Street Fighter V at the Playstation Experience, fighting game fans practically slobbered at the mouth upon seeing everything that the Japanese developer had planned for the title. Drastically retooled characters, eye-popping moves, and the best visuals the series had ever seen all seemed to point toward Street Fighter V becoming the game fans had been waiting for....

Summer in Mara - from developer and publisher Chibig - doesn’t release until next week, but in anticipation of its launch, a brand-new trailer has been released showcasing elements from the game’s story-driven single-player campaign. Until now, we’ve really only seen the more light-hearted scenes from the charming farming, crafting, and exploration adventure in which players take on the role of Koa, an energetic and curious little girl who is always up for an adventure....

Super Mario 64 is experiencing a resurgence in popularity since its re-release in Super Mario 3D All-Stars on the Switch. Players have loved 64 ever since it burst on the scene in 1994 and completely shifted the paradigm of platforming. Nintendo’s addition of 3D capability turned levels into vast playgrounds, where players could run around and explore instead of simply take a linear path to complete each world. However, from the very beginning, it was clear that not all worlds are created equal....

If there was ever a video game franchise that deserved to make a comeback, Silent Hill is a franchise that many in the gaming community would consider a sound answer. Widely regarded as one of the most influential and terrifying survival horror series ever produced, Silent Hill has had an incredibly long dry spell that many fans have grown restless over. Although, a video clip that assumedly teases the release of a new Silent Hill title was taken down, but not by Konami....

If you think about a hardcore gaming session with a host of other avid gamers, what titles come to mind? Do images of various Call of Duty games fly by like virtual bullets? Do champions and minions march out onto a battlefield in League of Legends, or do hordes of heroes charge in to defend Azeroth from the forces of evil? All these multiplayer titles are very good options, but some quickly forget that everyone’s friend, Nintendo, has more than enough online action to offer on the Switch....

Hi-Rez Studios caught SMITE fans by surprise last month when it announced that it was collaborating with Nickelodeon again to bring the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles to SMITE. Fans have had to wait a few weeks since then, but as of the new update released today, the Heroes in a Half-Shell are now available in the popular MOBA. Similarly to the Avatar: The Last Airbender-themed content SMITE got earlier this year, the new crossover content is available via a new dedicated Battle Pass....

The Wolf Among Us fans have been eagerly awaiting news regarding the highly anticipated Season 2 for the fairy-tale based noir game, and many fans were fooled by some recently “leaked” screenshots that were supposedly from the game. The screenshots were later confirmed fake by Telltale Games, to the relief of many The Wolf Among Us fans. The fake screenshots showed a redesigned Bigby Wolf, one that is more heavyset and ultimately less like the gritty detective that many fans came to love in the first season....

Simply put, The Last of Us is a modern masterpiece. It’s received countless ‘Game of the Year’ awards, sold over 20 million copies since release, and helped revolutionize storytelling in video games, clearing the way for successors like God of War and Death Stranding. So when it was announced that HBO was working on a TV adaptation of this beloved classic with the original game’s creative director Neil Druckmann and Chernobyl showrunner Craig Mazin, fans were overjoyed, but a little bit nervous....

The action genre, particularly open-world action-adventures, have started to dominate the gaming industry. Improved hardware has allowed developers to move gaming away from its days of linear stages full of invisible walls to an era of immersive games that can offer incredible open-worlds with immersive action-gameplay. The PlayStation 4’s cycle has come to an end following the release of the PlayStation 5, and a glance at the console’s Metacritic page will exemplify just how dominant the action-adventure genre was....

Apex Legends’ sudden and unprecedented popularity has entered an equally unprecedented downturn recently, with a reported 74% plunge in revenue spanning the past two months. The hype train has clearly encountered some technical difficulties, to say the least. Respawn’s pulling out all the stops to stem the steady loss of interest, and while the drip-fed trickle of gameplay refinements and new seasonal content certainly adds up over time, players don’t seem too content with the rate at which it’s currently being introduced....

A hard diversion from the normal cuteness and family-friendly content of regular Pokémon games came in the side games Pokémon Colosseum and Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness. This darker content was Shadow Pokémon, which are Pokémon captured by the evil Team Cipher and forced to do their bidding. It’s said their hearts are closed, and that’s why they turn into Shadow Pokémon. As sad as that process is, fans agree that Shadow Pokémon are actually really cool....

A new Ubisoft survey for The Division indicates that the developer is considering adding a Last Man Standing or Battle Royale style game mode to the popular multiplayer game. The Division had a lot of hype prior to its release last year but the final product ended up disappointing some gamers. Still, Ubisoft’s shared open world shooter was one of our top multiplayer games of 2016, so the title does have a solid core to build upon as it moves into the future....

Since it was built in 1924, the Roosevelt Hotel has been an incredibly important part of New York and film history. As an iconic part of the city’s skyline, it has been a popular fixture for important people and cultural moments for decades. It’s the site where Thomas Dewey incorrectly announced his defeat of Harry Truman, where Lyle Wheeler sold his Academy Award for The Diary of Anne Frank, and where a plethora of films staged their biggest moments....

March. It goes in like a lion and out like a lamb. Unless of course, we’re talking about video games, in which case it’s always like a lion, beginning with an onslaught of video game releases and ending with…an onslaught of video game releases. As always, we at Game Rant will not only detail what our writers will be playing during this month, but the new releases as well. So sit down, and let us know what you’ll be playing this month!...

In 2012, riding high on the success of Downton Abbey, Julian Fellowes told a crowd at Bafta that he was considering writing a prequel. The spin-off would be about ladder-climbing yanks trying to pay their way into the sniffy social elite, and feature a young Lord and Lady Grantham. He, a fresh-faced toff weighted by ancestral burden, she a US debutante with a daddy as riche as Croesus but in the undesirable nouveau way....

Netflix owned the Halloween season last year with the release of Stranger Things Season 2. An enthusiastic promotional push from the streamer aimed to capitalize on the word-of-mouth based, unexpected success of the first season, and the efforts paid off; Stranger Things was the bell of the horror ball last year. But with the series shelved this October as work on Season 3 continues, Netflix is searching for another “Spooky SZN” juggernaut to fill the void....

When it comes to character creation in Dungeons & Dragons, players are able to choose a plethora of aspects for their character. One element of character building that has a notable degree of impact is a character’s race. Each race in the game alters a character’s stats and can provide one’s character with special racial abilities. While these abilities are often very useful, one of the most overlooked elements of races in D&D are a race’s size and weight....

Everybody does it – sits glazed in front of the TV, wearing the remote button thin with endless scrolling. That’s meant to be good, isn’t it? Didn’t we like that other thing he was in? With the horse. No, I’m thinking of a different guy. Oh, just put The Office on. Every click of the remote is another second stolen from our budgeted free time, but no more. Every month, Den of Geek picks the best TV recommendations to save you time, starting with…...
