The opening credits of Paramount+’s reboot of beloved Nickelodeon cartoon Rugrats are mighty familiar. Composer Mark Mothersbaugh’s synthesizer chimes away as the action follows the titular infants having a particularly lively play day in a suburban living room. Tommy Pickles does a handstand. Phil and Lil DeVille chase each other around. Angelica gets covered in dust from a vacuum. While at first glance the new intro seems identical to the iconic original, there are some key updates....

Minecraft Dungeons is sort of a beginner’s ARPG, though that isn’t necessarily a bad thing. The game features a decent smattering of missions, interesting mobs, and the Minecraft iconography fans know and love. Progressing through the game, players will earn emeralds, the game’s primary currency, but there are faster ways to gain them than some realize. Emeralds are spent on purchasing new gear from vendors, of which there are several throughout the game....

Pokemon GO shinies are some of the most elusive creatures in the game. Shinies are rare color variations of a Pokemon and although they offer no gameplay benefit because they are so hard to find, every Pokemon GO player wants one. But is there a more efficient way of getting a shiny than just trying to catch every single Pokemon that a player comes across? A Pokemon GO player named bubbatriston has now put together a very handy infographic that tells other players of the hit mobile game exactly how they can get a shiny Pokemon....

I am writing this article almost entirely to manifest Twilight Princess on Switch into existence, but I’m also writing it to say that hey, guess what? Twilight Princess is an excellent Zelda game, and I think a lot of people who hated it are going to have to reckon with that fact once it comes back in all of its emo glory. Twilight Princess originally reared its angsty head way back in 2006....

It hasn’t been the best console generation for BioWare, nor its fans for that matter. In eight years we got three games, and only one (Dragon Age: Inquisition) saw widespread praise. After successive disappointments, Mass Effect: Andromeda and Anthem, many of us are happy to wash the grim taste away with Mass Effect: Legendary Edition, remembering what many of us consider to be a better time. As much as this is a time to celebrate what BioWare has done right, I believe it’s also an opportunity to reflect on the series as a whole - the good and the bad....

Does anyone else feel like their V looks like circus clown 24/7? I’ve pretty much given up on maintaining a look because it seems like every time I spend my eddies on a nice outfit I end up finding some cut-off denim shorts and a feather boa that give me +20 armor and make me look like an EDM kid on the last day of Burning Man. It’s throwing a major wrench in the RP part of my RPG and I wish there was a better system for fashion....

Although the name iGame might not be instantly recognizable, the company behind the brand, Colorful, should be familiar to PC gamers. Primarily focused on the Chinese market, Colorful has been one of Nvidia’s key partners when it comes to graphics cards and while its products typically don’t make it stateside too often, they are usually quality. With the iGame 3070 Advanced OC-V and Colorful’s line of 3000 series GPUs, the company is looking to stake a more worldwide claim and show PC users what its tech is capable of....

For the past few days, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and Warzone have had issues with long matchmaking times, leaving players stuck in queues much longer than they typically are. However, Infinity Ward is taking steps to address the issue, with a fix confirmed to be coming, though there’s no ETA for it just yet. Over on Twitter, Joe Cecot, Infinity Ward’s co-design director of multiplayer, acknowledged the issue in a reply to a fan....

Starting today, through June 5, 2017, fans of the sequel can earn Princess Diana of Themyscira’s gear and loot from the feature film in the developer’s Mutiverse event known as “To End All Wars....

Back in the 90s - when arcades were my destination of choice whenever my mom dragged me to the mall - I was never one to line my quarters up on the bottom of the gaming cabinet monitor to indicate to other players that I had the machine locked down. It only took the one time when a passerby stole my dollar-worth of quarters for me to learn that lesson. To be fair though, I was also not good enough to “reserve” a machine....

Every game is now a potential platform for more content that is being developed as soon as, or even in some cases, before a game hits stores. This is in addition to console exclusives such as skins or extra missions coming with either a PlayStation, Xbox or another platform....

A new report has surfaced, claiming that developer Valve is putting Half-Life 3 on hold in order to work on a new Left 4 Dead title, releasing in 2017. After yesterday’s news regarding Half-Life writer Marc Laidlaw’s departure from Valve, gamers have been worried that this may mean that the long-awaited Half-Life 3 may be held back even longer. However, this may not be entirely bad news as a new report has emerged, suggesting that the company has chosen to make Left 4 Dead 3, its top gaming priority....

The Academy of Interactive Arts and Sciences announces that Hideo Kojima will be inducted into the Hall of Fame by his friend and collaborator Guillermo del Toro. 2015 was a rough year for legendary game developer Hideo Kojima. While he managed to release the critically-acclaimed Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain, Kojima also had a mysterious falling out with his longtime publisher Konami, resulting in a series of confusing heartbreaking decisions not only for Kojima, but his fans as well....

A PC veteran knows that while lacking equipment might be blamed for user error more often than not, a well-designed and forward-thinking gaming set-up is pivotal for success. With that in mind Genius has released a new keyboard under their GX Gaming brand, dubbed the Manticore. It’s not the most expensive, most jaw-dropping, or most heavy duty keyboard on the market, but with some clever design choices, intuitive interfaces and inspired features, the Manticore is a product whose impacts we hope will be widespread....
