Any person who doubted the potential of the Nintendo Switch would be left in shock and awe at the sheer level of brilliance shown in the games released on this platform, and no title personifies this more than The Legend Of Zelda: Breath Of The Wild. The fact of the matter is that this game completely surpassed everyone’s expectations when it released in 2017, setting a new bar for the franchise in the process....

A fan-made mod for Fallout 4 brings noted pro wrestler Macho Man Randy Savage to the wasteland, following in the footsteps of a similar piece of content previously released for Skyrim. Millions of players around the world have been enjoying Fallout 4 since it released back in November, but for many, there’s been something missing. No, not the game’s limited dialogue options or the as-yet-unreleased mod support on Xbox One — the presence of ‘Macho Man’ Randy Savage....

Star Wars games had a bit of a rough patch when EA Games was in full control of them; both entries in the rebooted Battlefront series were subject to tons of backlash from fans. This resulted in EA taking a step back and letting other companies make the games while EA’s name was featured only for publishing. As a result, fans have been gifted with two outstanding gems with Jedi: Fallen Order and Star Wars Squadrons....

Following the release of Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order’s first trailer during Star Wars Celebration 2019 and the confirmation of its launch date, many fans of the science fiction franchise are wondering exactly how much time they will be able to sink into the final version of the game when it goes live. While details regarding the forthcoming release’s length have yet to be fully confirmed, the title’s Game Director, Stig Asmussen, and Lucasfilm’s Steve Blank have explained that fans shouldn’t expect it to be a “five-hour game”....

It sounds like Star Wars Republic Commando on Switch may not run as well as fans would like on the hybrid system. We sense a disturbance in the force. Gaming junior editor of Comic Book Resources Abram Buehner tweeted out that he’s had issues with the game so far. “Republic Commando’s frame rate is really bad on Switch,” said Buehner, “I feel like it’s hitting 15-20fps docked at certain points, and I’m only in the opening mission....

Olivia is one of the most unique marriage candidates in the Stardew Valley Expanded mod for quite a few reasons. For starters, she is pretty well off and owns her own home that she lives in with her grown son, Victor. This makes her the oldest marriage candidate in Stardew Valley and gives her a lot more free time. Her background is also linked to Joja, something that most characters in the game tend to hate....

Stranded Deep is all about making life as comfortable as possible on a desert island. After a few days of exploring, hunting, and surviving, a player might notice a sudden stockpile of rawhide just sitting in their inventory. That’s where the Tanning Rack comes in. The Tanning Rack is used to transform rawhide into worked leather material, which can be used to craft better items and tools for your adventures in Stranded Deep....

The gaming market analyst NewZoo has released the results of surveys covering most of the world, and some of the news is both surprising and not. According to its analysis, 80% of gamers enjoy having some sort of snack or drink on hand. Perhaps every gamer has been guilty of the sin at some time or another: a bowl of jellybeans to munch on while collecting all the candy in Pokemon Sword and Shield here, a bag of chips while playing World of Warcraft there....

Ghost of Tsushima has been a huge success for Sucker Punch Productions. The title has been a hit with fans because of its Feudal Japan setting and the aesthetic qualities of Ghost of Tsushima have earned it critical acclaim. There have been a number of partnerships and fan tributes that have spawned from the game but a fan has now set an impressive collaborative benchmark. A player reviewed the game while painting in a Bob Ross style on YouTube....

The trailer for Rocksteady’s next title, Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, just dropped during the DC Fandome event and it’s looking pretty good. Teased for a release in 2021, this game will feature notable villains Deadshot, Harley Quinn, Captain Boomerang, and King Shark in a gritty co-op adventure. Their mission: take out the Justice League. The group’s administrator Amanda Waller is thinking big. The game has been announced for the PS5 and Xbox Series X platforms, leaving the PS4 and Xbox One in the dust....

It’s been nearly three years since SYNTHETIK: Legion Rising first launched on PC back in 2018, but developer Flow Fire Games isn’t done yet. A new expansion, SYNTHETIK: ULTIMATE, arrives on December 16, while Switch and Xbox One versions of the game will also launch on the same date. A PS4 version is planned for release later on.

Dontnod Entertainment’s Tell Me Why has 13 collectible figurines to be found across its three chapters of gameplay. Chapter three is the least collectible-dense of the chapters, featuring only three figurines, whereas the previous two feature five each. The three figurine locations in chapter three will be detailed in this guide, as well as how to earn the achievement or trophy for placing all of the collectibles in the attic. To unlock that, you will need to have found the five figurines in chapter one and the five figurines in chapter two as well....

From as way back as the 80s, game developers have been making Marvel-based games. Like anything, there have been peaks and valleys in terms of quality content. For every Marvel’s Spider-Man on PS4 there was a Spider-Man on the Atari 2600. There was a balance in the force as it were. For as many games as there are though not a lot of them offer multiplayer. And if they do, again, they may not have been good....

In a world with sequels running amuck, it’s easy to forget about all the new Intellectual Properties that popped up over this generation. Ghost of Tsushima is one of the last major IPs for current consoles so it’s the perfect time to look at the best new games of this generation. There are several honorable mentions like Fortnite, Titanfall, Hellblade, and Horizon Zero Dawn. While all of these had a major impact on the games industry and some of them garnered a sequel, the Metacritic conglomeration did not rank them high enough....

Another year of E3 Press Conferences and Showcases have come and gone, displaying an impressive number of games coming from EA, Microsoft, Bethesda, Ubisoft, Square Enix, and Nintendo over the next year. On top of that, a number of smaller streams took place for games that wouldn’t receive widespread coverage including the PC Gaming Show, Limited Run Games, the E3 VR Showcase, and the Kinda Funny Games Showcase. While AAA games like Cyberpunk 2077, Watch Dogs Legion, Final Fantasy VII Remake, and The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening were among the best games of E3 2019, the show was also full of exciting new indie games....

Bosses in the Destiny franchise are notorious for either being complete pushovers or some of the hardest foes in the genre. While most of the game’s hardest enemies can be found in raids, there are certainly quite a few bosses that hold their own in other activities. The opposite is true as well. Some raid bosses are complete pushovers when compared to typical strike bosses or Public Event enemies. No matter the activity, there is a wide range of foes to defeat in Destiny 2....

The NCAA Football games have always focused heavily on crowd noise, fan interaction, and the college game day experience. Unlike games like Madden or NBA 2K, franchises that are very good in their own right, the classic NCAA Football games focused on momentum features and elements that incorporate things outside of simply throwing and catching the ball. If NCAA Football were to return, it would stand apart thanks to some of these cool ideas....

Thousands of fresh, innovative indie games were brought out this year. Here’s Game Rant’s look at eight that raised the bar for game developers everywhere. With the end of the year almost upon us, it’s time to take a look at what made 2016 really stand out. For many gamers, it has to be the indie scene. Though the AAA studios were no slouches, players interested stepping into strange new worlds thought up by developers outside the mainstream had a record year....

With Sony and Microsoft debuting new consoles towards the end of the year, 2020 effectively brought to an end the Xbox One’s run as one of the main systems on the market. Following a rather rough launch, the Xbox One eventually picked up steam through Microsoft’s consumer-driven initiatives, specifically the Game Pass subscription service. All things considered, 2020 was a decent enough year for Microsoft’s console, with each month adding a few worthwhile titles to the system’s library....

Brazil isn’t necessarily the first country that springs to mind when we think of gaming, but if a current trend continues then perhaps one day it will be. It can sometimes be hard to track exactly how the video game industry is doing amid the current climate. On the one hand, you can point to phenomena such as Fortnite and claim that gaming is in better shape now than it has ever been....
