As we all know, Cloud Strife is the often-surly hero of Final Fantasy VII. He’s mostly famous for two things: his supremely anime hairstyle and his absurdly huge sword; which his super skinny arms couldn’t possibly hope to hold, let alone swing with the force required to take out anything more than a gnat. Still, we don’t question these sorts of things. The important thing is that the recent remake of the much beloved title has thrown the spotlight onto Cloud and his friends yet again....

It’s hard to remember the last time a video game creator parting ways with their studio caused as much drama and turmoil as the Hideo Kojima and Konami split. The future of the Metal Gear Solid franchise is still up in the air and the long-awaited team up with Guillermo del Toro on Silent Hills also fell apart. Rumors that the horror game, which was perfectly hyped with a PT (playable teaser), would get picked up by another studio have been circulating, but nothing has been confirmed....

The amorphous purple blob known as Ditto has been a staple in the Pokemon series since it first appeared.

However, it looks like that is about to change. While players may find many similarities to the Pokemon series, Crema has developed several ways to make Temtem stand on its own....

All things considered, video game marketing is a pretty straightforward affair. Take a game, find out what makes it tick, and showcase that element until you’re blue in the face. Is there a visually appealing hero to play as? — great; put him or her front and center on every poster. Is the world of the game alive with eye-catching explosions? — even better, that’ll make for great TV. But what about when a new console needs an ad campaign, something that’s guaranteed to generate frenzied hype and excitement?...

2013 was a strong year for gaming, illustrated by the launch of a new console generation - the strongest console launch in the history of the medium, and Grand Theft Auto V becoming the quickest entertainment title to make $1b in any medium.

The Mario Kart franchise is chock full of all the traits that Nintendo holds closest to its heart: bold, brash, brightly-colored mayhem of the highest order, tempered by great accessibility. It’s a Super Smash. Bros style riot of fun. In another parallel to Smash, however, there’s a lot of hidden depth and challenge here too. The games’ opening tracks provide a gentle introduction to the controls and mechanics, but all bets are off after that....

It was supposed to be the Riddler. That’s who Warner Bros. wanted as the villain in the sequel to Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight, according to David Goyer. The Batman movie screenwriter—who helped Jonathan and Christopher Nolan crack the stories for all three films in The Dark Knight Trilogy, and who co-wrote the first one—admitted this way back in 2012 when he told the press that studio executives came to Nolan and said, “It’s gonna be the Riddler, and we want it to be Leonardo DiCaprio....
