Over the years, the game has swallowed multiple horror properties into it, such as Scream, Silent Hill, Resident Evil, and more. Today, as it celebrated eight long years, developer Behaviour Interactive hosted…

Custom, often impractical video game controllers are a tale as old as time. Who could forget the bizarre Resident Evil 4 chainsaw controller or when Square Enix released controllers shaped like Yuna’s guns from Final Fantasy X-2?

After replaying the original, 1997, Final Fantasy VII recently, I knew the next step for me was to immediately jump into Final Fantasy VIII. As my favorite game in the franchise, I can hardly resist any opportunity to play FF8, but this time I felt more encouraged to draw points of comparison and differences between…

May is shaping up to be a very, very good month for Xbox Game Pass—with some sleeper hits, like magic FPS Immortals of Aveum, and new games, like Senua’s Saga: Hellblade II, arriving soon. And I bet Xbox is happy to have some good news to share right now, following the last few months.

Nintendo wants to lean hard into movies. After the astronomical success of The Super Mario Bros. Movie, why wouldn’t it? But Mario actor Chris Pratt is dreaming even bigger—He wants the company to think beyond just having an adaptation in theaters every few years and consider an extended film universe.

Renowned game developer Ron Gilbert’s latest game is not at all what any of us might’ve expected. As spotted by Time Extension, the game’s been teased as “Classic Zelda meets Diablo meets Thimbleweed Park,” and is set to release in 2024…maybe.

A few months ago, former Bungie composer Marty O’Donnell announced he was running for Congress. And in a new interview, the Halo and Destiny composer says he’ll succeed because he’s a “gamer” and also because, making Halo 2 was harder than governing a nation.

Aerith’s death (spoilers) in the original Final Fantasy VII was one hell of an emotional ordeal. And while fans scoured the game years after its release for a chance at finding a way to revive her, there was a way to catch a quick glimpse of her in the late game after she dies. Is it a ghost or a glitch? It’s a little…

The Xbox 360 is a legendary console, and its storefront, the Xbox Marketplace, was similarly legendary, becoming one of the most prominent online stores in console history and helping pave the way for digital distribution. The Xbox store has hosted the likes of Xbox Live Arcade, which shone a light on rising indie…

I think most people will agree the future doesn’t look too promising. Between crappy AI replacing real humans and billionaires controlling more and more of the world, things seem a bit bleak, I’d say. So Mullet Madjack, a new retro-inspired, anime-themed, first-person shooter on PC, comes at a perfect time. It’s a…

Riley Testut was about to hop on a rollercoaster in Copenhagen, Denmark when he got the news that Apple would finally be letting a retro emulator he’d been working on for 10 years onto its App Store. It was aboard The Demon in Tivoli Gardens, at 50 miles per hour across three loops, that he started processing the…

Sony sold over 20 million PlayStation 5s in its last fiscal year, an impressive number that nevertheless failed to hit its original goal of 25 million, and even missed its revised target of 21 million consoles sold. The latest numbers make it clear that the next-gen hardware will probably never catch up to the sales…

Street Fighter 6 was one of my favorite games of last year, and I’m so convinced I’ll get back to its sublime, best-in-its-class fighting that I still haven’t uninstalled it from my PS5 despite months away. Every time I so much as see a clip of Street Fighter 6, I’m reminded that Capcom’s hallmark fighting series is…

Pokémon cards remain big business, even long after the excesses of 2020's price spikes. Just last week a UK collection sold for £55,270 ($69,404), more than double its auction guide price. So you can see the incentive for a Florida man who attempted to steal $40,000-worth from a Miami store, only to be pinned to the…
