The Demon’s Souls Remake is just like the original. This is great, but it also means that there are still ways to cheese each of the bosses in the game. Every boss has something that can defeat them. Some of these methods are obvious. Some of these methods are a little more…devious. Just like the original game, the bosses in Demon’s Souls Remakecan be forced into areas, trained, or even made completely unaware of their death....

The Pokemon franchise is designed around single-player experiences and PVP multiplayer battles. It’s not built for the group party dynamics of a game like Dungeons & Dragons, but the monsters from Pokemon can still be used as enemies for parties to face. To this end, we have statted out the Gastly line for use in D&D adventures. There were a few types in Pokemon Red & Blue that were barely represented....

After six years of stagnation, rumors emerge that Left 4 Dead 3 will be arriving next year, and one Game Rant writer is already aboard the hype train. It’s somewhat of an understatement to say that I’m extremely excited about the prospect of Left 4 Dead 3 finally being made. Gamers have been waiting a long time to see a new game released by Valve, but sadly, with the departure of Half-Life’s writer, it doesn’t look like Half-Life 3 will be happening anytime soon....

A lot of shooters sound the same to me. I listen to a lot of music, but metal and heavy rock have always been a bit outside my wheelhouse, so the blared electric guitars and drum crashes just sound like noise. I understand that a lot of craft goes into these soundtracks, especially in a game like Doom, and that the sound design links in with the rhythm and pacing of each level, as well as the environmental design, but… it’s just noise, innit?...

At a film festival, or really any movie house, most pictures are destined to be immediately analyzed for meaning and intent. Others are simply enjoyed (or not) due to the effectiveness of their escapism. And then there are those are that are felt, down to your bones and the very marrow beneath. Barry Jenkins’ If Beale Street Could Talk is such a lucid cinematic tome. To be sure, it clearly demands analysis and much thought long after its running time is over, but the soul of the picture is what lingers like a wistful memory of times gone by....

This Batwoman article contains spoilers through Season 2, Episode 13. Batwoman Season 2, Episode 13 Last week, Batwoman left Alice to fend for herself against the False Faces, after the two formed a temporary alliance to rescue Angelique and Ocean from the masked gang. Ryan’s choice not to help Alice escape Circe’s clutches may have been jarring for some, but Alice has always been a sore spot, and their brief ceasefires are always punctuated by reminders of who Alice is and what she’s done....

In spite of how the term is often used, “indie” games aren’t really a separate genre. The exquisite retro-style platforming of Shovel Knight, for example, isn’t anything like the text-heavy interactive novel in 80 Days, and neither game has anything to do with the first-person puzzles of The Talos Principle. While indie studios might share some similarities in terms of the size of their budgets or the scope of their design teams, independent games themselves are just as unique as big-budget triple-A titles, if not more so....

It’s the end of an era for PS4 and Xbox One, with next-generation machines just a couple of weeks away. As Sony looks back on the games that defined the generation on PS4 in the video below, we’ve also been thinking about the best games of the last seven years. But we’re not limiting ourselves to one platform. We asked our industry friends what game stands out for them the most, giving them a starting point of November 2013....

As we all know a new iPhone launch is looming in the horizon. It’s become a yearly event like E3, Christmas, or Free Slurpee Day. But what’s different about this year’s iPhone unveiling, as compared to previous years, are the rumors surrounding the iPhone 5’s drastic redesign. Among the rumors being circulated with some frequency are the ones that suggest the iPhone 5 will sport a new dock connector, a 19-pin rather than the traditional 30-pin connector....

For some, the brilliant white monolith known as PS5 sits proudly in their homes. For others, the great pursuit continues. Luckily, Irish toy company Smyths has confirmed that its PS5 stock will be replenished in February. Speaking to British tabloid The Sun, a Smyths representative gave an estimation. “We are not receiving further stock until February 2021,” the spokesperson commented, and also confirmed that the stock it had received in mid-January had been sold within hours....

Many veterans of online gaming will certainly be familiar with the frustration that comes with high latency and disconnects. Indeed, dropping a match in games like Apex Legends and Fortnite due to a poor internet connection can be infuriating, and Cox Communications - a US-based ISP - is now looking to cash in on this phenomenon by way of a premium service. Specifically, Cox has just begun a limited trial, currently focused on Phoenix, Arizona, of an “Elite Gamer” service....

In a recent report from Take-Two Interactive, the renowned parent company of Rockstar Games announced that Grand Theft Auto 5 is reaching new heights of popularity, as the open-world action game has now sold enough copies to be branded the best-selling video game of all time in the United States. The title has shipped 85 million units worldwide as of this new report, a figure that has increased by 10 million units since Take-Two’s announcement back in 2016....

Rockstar Games raked in some major bank following the release of Red Dead Redemption 2 in October, with the title having sold over 23 million copies since then. Red Dead Online, however, isn’t following suit. The game’s multiplayer component is available in beta on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One at the moment but is actually making a lot less money online than Grand Theft Auto 5’s online component GTA Online....

So, when exactly will avid fans finally be able to play it?...

The Halo series reigns supreme in large part thanks to its invigorating multiplayer component and the jaw-dropping quality of its campaigns. The first two games almost single-handedly solidified the Xbox as a console gaming brand and went on to have two of the most anticipated sequels in gaming history. Halo isn’t just a good game. It is an icon, a grand franchise that has lasted for two decades thanks to the superlative nature of each entry....
