Beloved science fiction series Halo tasks players with taking on the role of the Master Chief, a super-soldier who fights in the human war against aliens (the Covenant). There are five main installments to the series (depending on which you consider “main”) with a sixth, Halo Infinite, coming out soon. Halo wouldn’t be nearly as iconic without its signature Warthog, the all-terrain combat vehicle that Master Chief drives in-game. It comes equipped with two seats, an attached machine gun, and other features to aid the player in combat....

Halo Infinite is undoubtedly one of the most anticipated games of the year.

The character animation in the PS1’s Die Hard Trilogy looks like something out of a Jungian fever dream. The decision made by the game’s developers to build NPCs out of multiple 2D sprites allows for some truly bizarre imagery – as body parts shuffle in seemingly random directions in an attempt to emulate human movement. Die Hard Trilogy was released on PS1 in 1996 — eight years after Bruce Willis starred in the first installment of the eponymous movie franchise....

After joking about the possibility on Twitter, one voice actor imagined what it might look like if popular co-op Fall Guys was an anime. Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout (more commonly referred to as simply “Fall Guys”) is a battle royale multiplayer where players must complete a series of minigames in an attempt to become the last one standing. Anyone who’s ever played the game or watched it streamed knows that the chaotic nature of the game always leads to lots of laughs, intensely dramatic moments, triumphant celebrations, and even gut-wrenching heartbreak and betrayal....

Sony finally gave fans what they wanted last week as its long awaited PlayStation 5 event showcased numerous games as well as the console itself. One of the highlights from that showcase came towards the end as Guerrilla Games confirmed that Horizon: Forbidden West is in active development for the PS5.

Although it’s arguable that females don’t receive the proper recognition they deserve in the gaming industry – especially on the development side of things – one would be hard pressed to ignore that some of video games’ strongest, and most recognizable main characters are women.

Sony has revealed how Horizon Forbidden West‘s PS4-to-PS5 upgrade system will work, and the details of this disappointing pre-order policy loom large over PlayStation’s upcoming September 9 PS5 showcase event. Horizon Forbidden West will launch on February 18, 2022, for PS4 and PS5. If you buy the Standard or Special Editions of the game for PS4 (which cost $59.99 and $69.99, respectively), you will not receive access to the equivalent PS5 versions of the game....

It’s that magic hour right after dawn when Robin Hood and Maid Marian approach the water’s edge. With the sun still low enough to cast both figures in mythic silhouette, the couple is surrounded by a blanket of fog, looking as if they’ve just stepped off a storybook cover. For most of Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves’ running time, the narrative and its music has built to this moment: A request, a kiss, and a declaration....

This article contains Ted Lasso spoilers through season 2 episode 8. Perhaps you’ve heard, but Apple TV+ series Ted Lasso was the subject of some dreaded Discourse recently. Since the Internet is infinite and we privileged few in the media have nothing but time, a handful of features came out weeks ago essentially questioning what Ted Lasso season 2 was even all about. Many of these features were well-written, well-argued, and fair, but when filtered through Twitter’s anti-nuance machine (i....

I have fond memories of the PlayStation 2 from way back in the early 2000s. It’s a console that brings back visions of having friends pile round to my very first house to play games all night and compete fiercely against each other. While we played many things, the titles which stand out in my mind are the ones that got us moving, when the Wii was just a twinkle in Nintendo’s eye....
