Many fans of The Elder Scrolls series enjoy each main title’s focus on exploration and player freedom. Players can do whatever they wish in Skyrim and Morrowind, which is a far cry from many narrative-driven RPGs. That doesn’t mean The Elder Scrolls lacks interesting stories, however. The Elder Scrolls has some of the deepest lore out of any intellectual property. That said, much of it is buried under many mind-bending concepts that are downright nonsensical....

Video game content has been the subject of scrutiny since games first entered the home market, and retailers, consumers, and publishers alike have struggled to strike a balance between warning and restriction that suits the needs and wants of every party. Enter the ESRB. The ESRB has been a major step forward for the industry. While its ratings are sometimes controversial, the fact that it’s self-regulated and not enforced by law but rather individual retailers means that publishers, retailers, and consumers all have their own role to play in deciding who should play what games....

This article contains spoilers for The Falcon and the Winter Soldier In 2014’s Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Steve Rogers catches up with everything he missed when he was on ice by carrying around a little notebook full of historic moments and pop culture recommendations.

2022 is shaping up to be one of The Game Awards’ biggest years yet. Elden Ring and God of War: Ragnarok are deadlocked for nominations, and titles such as Horizon Forbidden West and Xenoblade Chronicles 3 follow closely behind. The biggest awards can go any way, but let’s be honest: most gamers will tune in for the trailers and reveals. Since The Game Awards is currently one of the biggest game-centric celebrations outside of E3, it’s a tradition for companies to fill in the gaps between awards with ads for their upcoming games....

The Last of Us 2 is a phenomenal game that deepens the world and characters of the franchise in major ways.

Fans who have finished the game are torn between their loyalty to Abby and Ellie, as both commit terrible acts in their quests for revenge and both are good people when stripped down to the core of their characters....

The Mandalorian is a welcome smash hit for Disney’s take on Star Wars. It not only established Disney+ as the marquee streaming service, but it brought fans a desired version of the galaxy far, far away. Unlike some of the preceding material, the Last Jedi or Solo as examples, The Mandalorian has been universally acclaimed by both fans and critics alike – an unexpected alignment. However, despite being the benchmark for Disney streaming Star Wars, there is still one major criticism of the show: that its formula relies on side quests too much....

This article contains minor spoilers for Star Trek: Strange New Worlds episode 1. Star Trek is a franchise with a massive legacy, one the newer series on Paramount+ are gleeful to explore.

What had been previously established in a movie or TV episode, to many, should not be explicitly contradicted....

Star Wars Republic Commando – the classic FPS from 2005 – is now available on Nintendo Switch and PS4.

As many are well aware, May 4th has officially been given the moniker of Star Wars Day.

Survival games aren’t exactly a new genre—what objective is more prominent in games than pure survival?—but they’ve recently risen to incredible popularity, practically taking over Steam earl access with variations on different themes. Unlike many game genres, there are few hard and fast rules defining what makes survival games different from others. We can identify a survival game when we play it, but because so many bring in parts of other genres, such as sandbox, simulation, or horror elements, it can be difficult to pin down what exactly constitutes survival games....

10 Coco - $42 to $74 Coco is technically a rabbit villager, but has been the center of Animal Crossing theories since the first game due to her unique and somewhat unsettling design. The fact is that her design is actually based on gyroids.
