Nintendo’s brand new Switch console is already one of the most prolific and ground-breaking consoles of all time. The Switch is the first true hybrid console that allows players to use their console at home and on the go. This perfectly portable system is cool enough on it’s own, but there are already a ton of choice add-ons that can make this console even better. Here are five Nintendo Switch accessories under $25 that will bring your gaming experience to the next level....

Bandai Namco had the sad announcement today that Tales of Arise will be getting hit with an indefinite delay. Due to complications that have cropped up thanks to the coronavirus pandemic, the team has suffered development delays that have pushed the latest Tales of game out of its original 2020 window. For now, no future date has been specified. In a post on Bandai Namco’s website, an update reads, “While COVID-19 has affected some aspects of development, we’ve done our best to adapt to the situation and have implemented remote development capabilities for our team....

Anime is a huge and successful industry. With the amount of merchandise that follows their manga and TV shows, it’s one of Japan’s biggest international cash bags. Hardcore manga and anime fans/collectors, also known as “otaku” can spend hundreds upon thousands of dollars on merchandise. From collector’s edition DVDs, plushies, figurines, signed posters, to jointed dolls, it’s easy for a fan to cry over an empty wallet at a common anime convention....

Given the nature of gaming discourse, it’s easy to take for granted just how well certain games actually end up selling. The most critically acclaimed ones are seldom heavy hitters when it comes to sales. For instance, despite consistently earning critical praise with each and every new installment, The Legend of Zelda is not on this list. In fact, not a single game came close. Not only did Zelda not make this list, neither Metroid or Donkey Kong made it either....

2022 was a great year for gaming, but many of that year’s best titles were smaller and somewhat unexpected. Well, the biggest new games of 2023 are just that. Big. We’ve spoken before about the very best years in video game history, and it’s not a stretch to suggest that 2023 could one day join those ranks. From delayed games that will finally get a chance to shine to surprising new projects looking to make a name for themselves, every month in 2023 will seemingly feature at least a few eventual game-of-the-year candidates....

The following contains spoilers for The Boys season 2 episode 7. The ongoing presence and practice of politics within democratic societies should represent the pinnacle of human achievement: the fair and equitable ordering of communities, city states and nations; the voluntary outflow of power from the people to their chosen representatives. Vought International – the business-suited big bads who keep the show’s superheroes in their pocket in order to fatten their own – is savagely adept at using its corporate power to flatter, curtail and manipulate both the populace and its own employees....

The Falcon and The Winter Soldier debuted on Disney+ yesterday, two weeks after WandaVision’s finale. It’s set six months after the events of Avengers: Endgame and shows the aftermath of Captain America’s retirement. Critics loved this pilot and audiences? Well, they mostly enjoyed it. It garnered a 93% from the critics making it a fresh series, while for audiences, it netted 73%. Essentially, it’s Zack Snyder’s Justice League reversed which sits at 74% for the critics and 96% for audiences....

The Falcon and the Winter Soldier is set to premiere on Disney Plus in March, and a new trailer just released for the show during the Super Bowl. The show centers around Sam Wilson and Bucky Barnes, grappling with the retirement of Steve Rogers and Rogers passing the shield onto Sam. While the show itself definitely looks like it’ll be a good time, there’s something about it that seems like it would make a really fun video game....

The Forest is an intense survival horror experience in which players crash land on a deserted island, have their son kidnapped, and realize they really should have paid attention to all those Bear Grylls survival shows. The game can have a steep learning curve, so it’s essential to get the basics figured out to stand a chance of survival. From wild animals to cannibals and mutants, there are many dangerous threats in the Forest that players need to look out for....

The Last of Us 2 will go down in history as one of the PS4’s defining games. It’s a profoundly amazing accomplishment, portraying a harsh world with a cast of rich characters, most of which are given enough time in the spotlight to create real connections with players – a feat that many games are unable to accomplish. While The Last of Us 2’s combat is visceral, grounded, and energetic, it fails to solve an issue that games have battled with since the beginning: killing....

The title for The Matrix 4 may have already been leaked online. A few days ago, Reddit user u/vesuveusmxo shared a story on r/matrix about how an Instagram user named “love_lana_wachowski” shared a now-deleted post by a makeup artist who is credited with working on the fourth Matrix film. In the original Instagram post, the makeup artist was seen showing off a Matrix themed coat, seemingly gifted to her by director Lana Wachowski and producer James McTeigue for her work on the film....

On the surface, it might seem like the Men in Black franchise would have no problem lasting beyond Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones’ pairing. The adventures of secret government agents protecting Earth from alien threats is a novel high-concept premise. The MIB universe has plenty of rich sci-fi worldbuilding and it’s a global organization. In theory, when Smith and Jones could no longer star in Men in Black films, the studio could just replace them with another pair of mismatched MIB agents to keep the series going....

The hanar are one of Mass Effect’s most interesting creations, but they’re yet to be fully explored. It’s no secret that Mass Effect plays favourites with races, but the hanar are not alone in getting the short end of the tentacle - batarians, vorcha, volus, and elcor all miss out on the spotlight too, but it’s only the hanar I want on my squad. Obviously, I wouldn’t object if Mass Effect 4 (I know some of you think it should be Mass Effect 5, but Andromeda was a spin-off rather than a sequel, thanks) gave us a whole new crew....

Persona Q2: New Cinema Labyrinth has been released outside of Japan, which means that the last major title for the Nintendo 3DS is now on store shelves. The release of Persona Q2: New Cinema Labyrinth marks the end of an era, as the Nintendo 3DS has finally reached the end of its lifespan and will soon enter the grave next to its 3D-less forebears. The Nintendo 3DS had an interesting run, with some high highs and low lows....

Video game publisher Electronic Arts officially announces the forthcoming release of Star Wars Battlefront: Ultimate Edition during the 2016 holidays. Ever since its launch in the fall of last year, the developers for Star Wars Battlefront have put out loads of post-launch content in order to keep fans of the first-person shooter engaged with the science fiction action held within the game. Now, in order to celebrate the one year anniversary of Star Wars Battlefront going on sale, Electronic Arts has decided to announce that it will be putting out a version of the FPS that contains all of the assets to be released for the title by giving the game its own Ultimate Edition....

Wyvern Gaming recently announced the iris will open for the launch of the Stargate Roleplaying Game Kickstarter campaign on October 6, 2020. The Kickstarter landing Page is already in place, along with the official website. Gear up, Stargate fans, SGC is locking the chevrons in, and you’ll soon be able to live out your Stargate adventures across the universe once again. Along with having another Stargate show to binge watch, and a hopeful reboot of Stargate Worlds (someone, PLEASE!...

Gamers who have been Stranded Deep may be wondering how best use to their limited resources. For those who have already mastered how to heal, hunt, and how to cook fish in Stranded Deep, they may be thinking of moving to a new island. For that, players will need to build a raft. Supplies Needed to Build the Best Stranded Deep Raft In order to build a strong raft to get players to the next island, they are going to need to collect a few things....

While Mortal Kombat X has staked its claim as the de-facto fighting game release for right now, its title will likely be short lived come 2016. That’s when Capcom will finally release Street Fighter 5 exclusively for the PS4 and PC, and across all countries at the same time. Street Fighter 5’s release has been a long time coming, as Capcom chose not to follow-up SF 4 with a new, numbered release but a series of enhanced packages including DLC packs and Ultra Street Fighter 4....

Yakuza spin-offs and remakes are nothing new to the series, with games like Judgment taking a step away from the series’ core story, and Yakuza Kiwami remaking the game that started it all. However, the news of a Yakuza crossover with Streets of Rage is likely something that most wouldn’t have imagined being in the future. However, that’s exactly what Sega has done to celebrate the company’s 60th anniversary. The game and console developer released several games for free to help boost festivities, and even created a new game to celebrate: Streets of Kamurocho....

The Streets of Rage beat ’em up series has always worn it professional wrestling influences on its sleeve, having characters perform pro wrestling maneuvers and even featuring a boss fight against an Ultimate Warrior knock-off in the first two games. It appears that Streets of Rage 4 carries on that tradition with an enemy that is very reminiscent of All Elite Wrestling star Orange Cassidy. Streets of Rage 4 players have noted that an enemy in the game has very similar mannerisms as Orange Cassidy....
