The fact that there isn’t already a “Pokemon Party,” or a Pokemon version of Mario Party blows my mind. Aside from the Meowth’s Party tech demo that was released back in 2000, there has been no indication that a Pokemon Party game could be released. One of my colleagues has already written a piece about how Pokemon Stadium’s mini-games certainly captured what it would feel like to play a Pokemon Party game, and she’s right....

Bloober Team’s latest nightmare-inducing game, The Medium, is due to release later this month after being delayed last November (likely because it was originally going to release the same day as Cyberpunk 2077.) According to the developer, the game is aiming to be an experience in the same vein as psychological horror games like Silent Hill or Amnesia rather than action-horror games like Resident Evil. This means it’s probably going to be quite spooky....

Activision Blizzard - the merged publishers behind two of the world’s most successful video game franchises - has announced plans to purchase a controlling share of the company from current controlling shareholder, Vivendi. Announced earlier today, the deal will allow the company to purchase approximately 600 million shares (through financing and outside investors) from the French media conglomerate, meaning a majority of the company will lie in the hands of the public....

Alex Trebek and John Cena are just two of the celebrities helping Last Week Tonight’s John Oliver fight the spread of misinformation by encouraging people to do research and think critically. As coronavirus continues to wreak havoc on the US, conspiracy theories about it are running wild via social media. Some are the stuff of pure fancy, but others come with visuals and data convincing enough to make them seem not just plausible, but likely....

If you were mulling over the prospect of a PS4 or Xbox One this year between a PC system, a new contender has re-enter the fray in the living room gaming hardware department. The mid-ranged Alienware Steam Machine is now just shy of the price of an 8th gen video game console. This deal comes to us via Dell, the manufacturer of Alienware, with a coupon code that stacks with instant savings....

Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War brought back a fan-favorite feature, with players logging in to see challenges. These optional objectives are often considered a pivotal point of game completion and a point of pride for those who succeed. Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War provides multiple categories of challenges, including Dark Operations. Each challenge in Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War rewards players with a calling card to signify its completion....

It’s no secret that there are many female gamers these days. In fact, one recent study found that almost half of the American gaming population is female, and that there are now twice as many female adult gamers as there are young male gamers. Women playing video games ten years competitively may have seemed unusual to some at the time, but now it’s quite commonplace. The fact that most people know that women play games just as well as men may be one of the reasons why a corporation-sponsored female-only competitive gaming team has just dissolved....

Today is the day that the Xbox Series X and Series S is officially released all around the world. As you read this, thousands of people will be receiving, unboxing, and using their next-gen consoles for the very first time. Only if they were lucky enough to land themselves a pre-order, of course, which was easier said than done when they went live on September 22, 2020. The email informs customers who have pre-ordered a Series X that they might not receive the console until the last day of 2020....

Playing through the original Mass Effect for the first time has surprised me in many ways, but perhaps the biggest shocker is how much I love its weird, occasionally useless, always hilarious, frisbee grenades. For a game as straight-laced and dramatic as Mass Effect, there’s something pretty funny about how weird its grenades are. You can imagine my surprise when prompted to throw a grenade, I pressed the button and witnessed Shephard turning lightly to his side to toss out an exploding discus....

A big part of Animal Crossing: New Horizons’ appeal for many players is the fact that players are free to do anything they want. The island can be decorated however a player wants from the furniture to the locations of cliffs, waterfalls, and ponds. Everything is completely up to the player. And another element of this comes from the fact that the game gives players the ability to customize furniture and decorative items....

Unfortunately, the new year brings new delays, but 2021 is still primed to deliver a jam-packed line up. ThinkingStars’ cyberpunk RPG Anno: Mutationem is the latest to be given an inevitable push back, but there is a silver lining that comes with it. The futuristic action-adventure was previously announced at China Hero Project 2019, originally slated for a December 2020 release. However, the title has now been pushed back to Q3 2021 after the game missed its window last year....

At one point during Anthem’s story, players will be tasked with gathering a material known as Corium to craft the Shield of Dawn, but knowing how to find this rare metal is half the battle. The other half is finding and facing down Titans, as defeating them is currently the only confirmed way to gather the material needed to craft the shield. First, players will need to get the Shield of Dawn blueprint from either Sentinel Dax or Matthias....

Despite officially launching not too long ago, several Anthem players have already made it to the higher level tiers due to the video game’s staggered release schedule. This has led the developer BioWare to deal with some issues such as the contentious Legionnaires Tomb challenge early on, with players reaching the level cap quickly also giving plenty of glimpses into what can be expected out of the endgame content. This type of endgame content includes Legendary Contracts and powerful Masterwork weapons, the latter of which has damage scales that range exponentially....

Apex Legends has recently marked its second anniversary, and as a live service game, it received tons of content updates during that time. Most importantly, the original roster of playable characters has expanded to include a total of 16 Legends, each equipped with unique abilities and traits. For a newcomer, such an amount of heroes might be overwhelming. Each Legend belongs to a certain class, which determines the primary purpose of a character....
