Fans of the Kingdom Hearts series have recently taken to Twitter to make Kingdom Hearts 3 a trending topic. However, the reason isn’t necessarily because Square Enix has made any announcements, but because of the recent anniversary of the game’s worldwide release. While Kingdom Hearts 3 launched on January 25, 2019, in Japan, the release date for the rest of the world brought worldwide players back to the series only a few days later on January 29....

Sony’s PlayStation Vita was the company’s second attempt at prying Nintendo’s death grip from the handheld market. The successor to the Playstation Portable was largely seen as a failure, but there is still plenty of life left in Sony’s touchscreen, dual-analog creation in addition to numerous underrated games. In 2021, Sony announced the close of their online stores for the PSP, PS Vita and Playstation 3. After pressure from fans, Sony walked back their decision and decided to only close the PSP’s online marketplace....

As Spike TV has already announced, their 10th annual Video Game Awards will be something special. Part of bringing the festivities full circle involves recruiting Samuel L. Jackson to once again don his hosting hat and emcee the proceedings. To celebrate Jackson’s hosting gig, and to tease some of the many high profile reveals that will permeate the show, Spike TV have released a short TV spot for the VGAs. Unfortunately, the spot is more indicative of the Spike VGAs shortsightedness than it is anything else....

“Fortnite is dead” felt like an increasingly popular sentiment in 2020. You certainly didn’t have to look too hard to find comments from gamers who felt that it was the end of an era for a game so popular that it was prominently featured in the highest-grossing movie of all-time. But in recent months, it felt like the game had fallen off the cultural radar. Whenever you looked at Twitch, it seemed like most of the service’s most popular streamers had moved on to Call of Duty: Warzone, Valorant, and a legion of viral games like Fall Guys, Among Us, and Genshin Impact....

This article contains MAJOR ETERNALS spoilers. You can read our spoiler-free review of the MCU movie here. If you break Marvel’s Eternals down to a barebones premise, the latest MCU film is the story of a family that loves each other but is torn asunder by ideological differences in spite of that love. It’s one of the more topical thematic explorations in the MCU pantheon—a central tension Captain America: Civil War promised us, but never fully delivered on....

Football is violent and fast. Brutal injuries are inherent to the action when 300-pound bodies slam into one another like cars at a demolition derby. In the late 1990s, no video game simulated that feeling more than the most anti-sim football game ever made: NFL Blitz. Unfortunately, the world may never see a game like Blitz again. To be sure, football video games are as popular as ever—or at least EA Sports’ Madden franchise is, since it’s the only football sim officially licensed by the NFL....

This article contains spoilers for Stranger Things season 4 volume 1. From Game of Thrones’ chilling Night King to The Witcher’s creatures and corpses, makeup effects artist Barrie Gower has been behind some of television’s most indelible supernatural creations. When Stranger Things creators Matt and Ross Duffer approached Gower to work on the show’s fourth season, however, they had another, less expected, example of his recent TV classics in mind. “They had just seen some of our work in Chernobyl for HBO and they were fans of our work doing the radiation burn victims,” Gower tells Den of Geek about the Duffers’ pitch....

Fallout 76 has introduced shelters, which let players extend their CAMP underground. These new shelters are instanced spaces, which means that players are allowed to build much more freely than in the normal world space. This is great for players who want to fully realize their visions of a home base, but how can they make the outside of their CAMP look as good as the inside? To start, here is a guide for making curved walls in Fallout 76....

When it comes to sports games, almost no one outside of EA or 2K has been able to put together a winning formula. The two publishers have a stranglehold on the market, pumping out high-performing titles year after year. However, thanks to indie developer Bit Fry, there’s an underserved market that’s finally getting the attention it deserves – the arcade sports game. Much like classic games from the 90s, Bit Fry’s titles are fast-paced, accessible, and serve a niche separate from the Maddens and FIFAs that litter the market on an annual basis....

FTL: Faster Than Light is a hard game at the best of times. Even once you know all the strategies there are, you’re still at the mercy of the game’s rather merciless RNG.

Every Tuesday, Thursday, and Monday night, I go through my raid checklist for Final Fantasy 14. Do I have all of the items I need? Is my gear repaired? Am I ready to practice new ways to optimize damage? Sometimes, our group can spend hours wiping to the same thirty seconds of a fight, and after a while, it can really wear on me. My attitude about the game goes sour, and I don’t log in as much....

The news that IO Interactive is developing a 007 game has been met with pretty universal enthusiasm. The Hitman developers have found critical acclaim and mainstream success with their long-running Hitman series, and in particular with the rebooted series that started in 2016. The World of Assassination trilogy takes a sandbox approach to level design that allows players to creatively approach each kill and offers near-limitless replayability. With a proven track record of competent stealth action and tactical espionage, IO Interactive seems to be the perfect studio to tackle a James Bond game....

Rockstar’s Grand Theft Auto franchise is no stranger to mods, as many GTA games have received them, and they never seem to stop coming either: even 2002’s Vice City is receiving mods 18 years later. And while it certainly isn’t the first graphical mod for the game, a new mod for Grand Theft Auto 5 gives the game a fresh coat of paint. There have been more than a few mods for the visuals of Grand Theft Auto 5, including NaturalVision Evolved from modder Razed, which also utilizes ray-tracing for a global illumination effect....
