Unless you have been living under the same rock as Patrick Star, everyone in the world has heard of the Japanese phenomenon known as Hello Kitty. She’s the bright ray of sunshine in Japanese pop culture, having brought happiness and smiles since her creation in 1974. From backpacks, wallets, and stationery, to planes, jewelry, and buildings, there is a slim chance you have not seen her visage around. But who is she?...
Hitman 3, the third chapter in IO Interactive’s World of Assassination trilogy, launched last week. The stealth sequel rounds out the story-arc that began with 2016’s Hitman, and connects to the original series from the early 2000s. The story of Hitman 3 follows on directly from the cliff-hanger ending of Hitman 2. In that title, Agent 47, his handler Diana, and his pseudo-brother Lucas Grey waged war against the secret society Providence....
Ever since the release of Hitman 3, PC fans of the iconic stealth-action franchise have been waiting to access all of the previous locations they’d purchased through Hitman 1 and 2. While that’s a simple task on PlayStation or Xbox, it has proved more difficult on PC, with the game’s limited-time exclusivity to the Epic Games Store meaning players who enjoyed the previous two games on Steam were unable to transfer their content to the new platform....
Fans fell in love with the tragically beautiful world of Horizon Zero Dawn alongside Aloy, the strong and kind Seeker of the Nora Tribe who adventured away from her home to find a number of potential allies that could be enlisted to aid in the final battle of the game and unlock the easily attainable “All Allies Joined” achievement. While it’s definitely possible to beat the game alone without help from any of the available allies, players would miss out on the opportunity to further explore the unique world of Horizon Zero Dawn through its wonderful characters, and to see how the final battle occurs alongside Aloy’s new allies and friends....
Just in time to help drain your wallet over the holidays, WizKids is releasing a new X-Men set of HeroClix figures. Dubbed X-Men House of X, the block contains mutants, space-farers, alternate timeline versions, and other oddities from the winding saga of X-Men comics. X-Men House of X will debut in December, but WizKids sent TheGamer a preview booster brick to let us dig into the set early. We pulled some of the more interesting characters to show you here, but if you want to see all 50 figures we unboxed, check out our Youtube channel....
Harley Quinn is ready to make amends. After decades demolishing Gotham and decimating its citizens alongside the Joker, she’s seeking forgiveness. That’s where we find the anti-hero in Future State. The two-issue event ends this week and sets up a new status quo for the Maid of Mayhem. Den of Geek chatted to Harley writer Stephanie Phillips about Future State, Infinite Frontier, and how Silence of the Lambs influenced some of the best moments in Harley’s recent crime-fighting adventures....
In a new video on YouTube, Hideo Kojima provides a recap of his E3 2016 experience and reveals the extreme lengths he took in order to keep Death Stranding a secret. E3 2016 still managed to provide a number of big surprises for fans this year, such as the all new and somewhat different looking God of War, even though there seemed to be a lot more leaks and slip ups prior to the big event....
Black Friday is a retail nightmare, but for the unfortunate gamers still trying to get their hands on a PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series X/S before the end of 2020, the biggest shopping weekend of the year may be their best bet. While the already chaotic nature of the next-gen retail market will likely make buying a PS5 or Xbox Series X during Black Friday weekend very difficult, we have found several retailers that have either confirmed that they will be selling next-gen consoles during Black Friday weekend or are highly likely to be among your best bets....

Bethesda’s The Elder Scrolls franchise has always had a special relationship with the modding community. What started as a handful of fans expressing their passion for games like Morrowind has quickly evolved into one of gaming’s largest modding playerbases, with enough content to form an impressive list of the best Skyrim mods since its release. Interestingly enough, however, fans really haven’t forgotten about how groundbreaking Morrowind was during its time, as experienced and skilled modders have continued to work tirelessly to improve the game that launched The Elder Scrolls series into the gaming stratosphere....

A braindance, often referred to as a “BD” in the game, is essentially what it sounds like - a lap dance, but for your brain. BDs are digital recordings of a person’s perspective, often involved in something illicit. Instead of being a passive observer of pornography, you can be a participant, and feel all of those same emotions and anxieties. But, of course, thrill-seekers want something a bit more hardcore, and as a result, you can find BDs in Night City where participants were in some truly harrowing situations....
A hack to a PC GameCube adapter allows players to use the GameCube controller on the Nintendo Switch. Nintendo has, historically, had a bit of a rough time when it comes to controllers. The NES Classic was a boxy thing that cut into your fingers after a while, but it can be forgiven for being modeled after 1980s technology. The N64 was a god-awful three-pronged monstrosity that didn’t make any sense, while the Wii’s nunchuck design was novel but resulted in a few busted televisions when they slipped from player’s hands....
While I don’t think 2021 is going to be remembered as one of the all-time great years in gaming history, I am convinced that this will ultimately be remembered as the year that the Xbox team finally turned the corner and showed everyone that they’ve been right about quite a few things. The problem with praising any video game manufacturer over another (or any brand/product over its competition) is that it tends to trigger this consumerism defense mechanism that forces people to tell you why you’re wrong because their preferred product or brand is better....
Xbox Series X controllers are different from PlayStation 5 controllers in that they require batteries, which can get expensive. It’s frustrating when a controller runs out of juice in the middle of a game, but that’s the risk that players run when going wireless. HyperX, however, has a solution. The third-party company is releasing an Xbox Series X controller charging station that is sleek, compact, and will keep controllers charged and ready when it’s time to play wirelessly....
Nintendo’s Indie World Showcase featured a substantial amount of upcoming games for the Nintendo Switch, with some of those announced games releasing after the presentation. Among the surprises was the announcement of the indie darling Hypnospace Outlaw coming to the console in less than a week. Hypnospace Outlaw is a ’90s internet simulator where the player is a Hypnospace Enforcer working for the Hypnospace Patrol Department. The player’s job is to monitor the internet for internet bullying, copyright infringement, and other bad uses of the internet....
As a child in the era of Super Mario Bros., it’s perhaps no surprise that I’d find myself drawn to Super Mario Kart. It was a racing game with simple mechanics but was silly and absurd enough to hold my attention. But frequently, while looking over the character selection menu, I’d encounter a small but gnawing internal conflict. As a young girl who played video games in a time when there was a dearth of female characters, I felt as though I “should” play as Princess Peach....

Mia, 27, is an Iranian gamer who loves The Last of Us. She cosplays as Ellie, the main character in the video game, and plays the theme music on her guitar. A video of Mia playing the song has more than fifty thousand views on YouTube. And like Ellie, Mia considers herself a fighter. A gaming celebrity in Iran, Mia, whose real name is Kimia Ravangar, has more than 55,000 subscribers on her YouTube channel and 378,000 followers on Instagram despite gaming being a male-dominated industry in her country....
The internet has made me look at Pokemon not as a fun JRPG for children, but as a game for perverts. (You know who you are.) Look at how much fan art exists of Gardevoir, Blaziken, Gothitelle, and countless other humanoid Pokemon. Hell, take a look at how many people apparently want to bang Pikachu. It’s easy to laugh at this, of course - “he said he’d fuck a sheep, etc....
