When consumers head to the store with $60 in hand to drop on a new AAA title, it’s fair that they want to know roughly how much bang they are going to get for their buck. In the age of multiplayer games as service, when players can get endless hours out of a potentially free game like Fortnite, dropping real cash on a single-player narrative title can feel a little pricey....
When any video game fan makes the decision to stop simply seeing games as a publisher’s product, and pays closer attention into the people actually making the game, one thing becomes clear: the most successful developers or creative leads are sought after by just about everyone. In the case of Ubisoft, the publisher has managed to overlap studios and teams to keep all employees working year-round, regardless of the game....
Like so many other major arcana, the Persona series’ portrayal of the Chariot holds true to the classical meanings of the tarot card, along with a few embellishments courtesy of Atlus. Chariot social links, or confidants, are almost always physically-inclined, forthright, and outspoken, if not downright loud. All of these traits certainly apply to Persona 5’s Ryuji “For Real!?” Sakamoto, who is, in certain respects, the most thematically faithful portrayal of the Chariot major arcana in the series....
When you hear the name Dr. Hannibal Lecter, a few things spring to mind—and none of them are likely to involve Italian poet Dante Alighieri or opera. Of course there’s good reason for this, with Lecter’s exotic cooking ingredients superseding his gentler affectations. But even so, when author Thomas Harris first imagined how the character might move in the wild for the novel Hannibal, it was with baroque glee he unleashed the doctor in Florence: Italy’s Renaissance city and Dante’s medieval stomping grounds....

It’s been amazing to witness the growth of the anime industry in America. It used to be extremely difficult to find anime in the country and even then, it was a very select handful of programs that were only available with questionable dubs. Over the course of a few decades this niche genre of animation hasn’t just become a mainstream obsession, but it’s now actively sought by streaming services. Anime’s popularity in America has reached a point where there are now multiple streaming services that offer ways to consume this content....
This article comes from Den of Geek UK. Spoilers ahead for The X-Files. “Penetrating so many secrets, we cease to believe in the unknowable. But there it sits nevertheless, calmly licking its chops.” – H. L. Mencken It might be an unexplainable phenomenon, but my love for The X-Files has survived the three greatest romances of my life. Though I missed the show when it first debuted on September 10th, 1993, I caught my first episode in reruns that summer....
Iceborne is shaping up to be one heck of a huge expansion for Monster Hunter: World. Which is good news for the title’s many fans, because it’s also going to be its swansong. For a long time, Monster Hunter was quite an obscure franchise. In the west, at any rate. Capcom’s action RPG series has long been a huge deal in Japan, but it wasn’t until the Wii’s Monster Hunter Tri that it really started to build mainstream traction elsewhere....

“The Further is a world far beyond our own, yet it’s all around us, a place without time as we know it,” Elise Rainier (Lin Shaye) explains in the 2011 occult horror film Insidious. “It’s a dark realm filled with the tortured souls of the dead, a place not meant for the living.” Director James Wan saw the astral world through the eyes of fear. It was how he was able to evoke the most terror from the nether regions of soul and thought....
Lady Dimitrescu was an unexpected viral sensation for Capcom, with Resident Evil Village’s most iconic villain causing the internet to degenerate into millions of thirsty gamers simply waiting for the big tall vampire lady to step on them. Given she isn’t even in the game for that long, her focus in all of the marketing materials feels unusual in retrospect, but it’s easy to understand why the publisher struck while the iron was hot....
Freedom Fighters was originally released on September 26, 2003, and was playable on PS2, Xbox, GameCube, and PC. Now, almost 17 years later to the exact day, IO Interactive is gearing up to re-release its iconic third-person shooter. As of today, September 21, Freedom Fighters is once again playable via GOG.com on PC. For those unacquainted with the platform, GOG focuses on bringing DRM-free games to consumers at exceptionally low prices, meaning that it hosts a variety of games whose digital rights management have expired — basically, they are no longer copyrighted, and can therefore be redistributed pretty cheap....
Square Enix’s Final Fantasy 15 is an unbridled success and a game of the year candidate, but one writer can’t help but wonder how much more of it there should have been. Final Fantasy 15 somehow lived up to the hype. A game that was a decade-plus in the making and had the weight of expectations from some of the JRPG genre’s most passionate fans placed squarely on its shoulders actually managed to deliver, and Square Enix has been raking in the profits from Final Fantasy 15’s incredible reception....
If Harry Potter was “The Boy Who Lived” because he continually dodged death at the hands of Lord Voldemort, then the Harry Potter franchise has become “The Franchise That Lived” because it keeps getting resurrected again and again. From the Fantastic Beasts movies, to the seemingly yearly re-release of the books with new covers or designs, to The Cursed Child stage production and book, to the multiple video game releases, the Harry Potter series just keeps churning out content....
Great news for Grand Theft Auto fans who have been hungrily waiting for any new information on Rockstar’s upcoming Grand Theft Auto 6, which may be the final GTA title players get. It would seem that development for the game is further along than many fans had been led to believe from recent reports dropped earlier this week. Insider, Tez2, has taken to Twitter to share what little information on Grand Theft Auto 6 they can get from inside of Rockstar’s notoriously tight lips....
It’s been over a decade and a half since the release of Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, but modders are still giving Rockstar’s action-adventure game plenty of attention. Once again, the game is getting a Marvel-themed mod, but this time it isn’t Spider-Man coming to GTA: San Andreas, but Iron Man. Even old games get love too, and Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas has stood the test of time as a game that many players still enjoy, despite its age and graphics quality (compared to 2020’s)....
Rockstar Games is again giving Grand Theft Auto Online players a number of generous bonuses this week to help save up some much-needed cash, as well as a bunch of discounts on in-game purchases to blow it all, if that is what you prefer. To start, Bodyguard and Associate salaries are earning double their usual rate. Bringing along more muscle on a dangerous ride can often mean the difference between a successful job or seeing your cargo vanish in failure....
