The past couple of decades have seen many advancements in gaming, including vastly improved graphics, motion controls, a foray into VR, and plenty more. Yet, it’s never a bad thing to induce nostalgia, which is what The Game Awards and Gamescom producer Geoff Keighley did with a sentimental Twitter post on Tuesday. The original Xbox console released on November 15, 2001. However, the announcement for Microsoft’s first major video game console occurred earlier....

The Oscars are taking steps to address its lack of inclusivity and diversity. The Academy has asserted that it will be making much-needed changes to the way it operates in the film industry. Although the Oscars have been postponed, that gives The Academy longer to properly implement the many changes it’s making. “The Academy will encourage equitable hiring practices and representation on and off screen in order to better reflect the diversity of the film community,” it announced in a press release last Friday....

A new year, a new entry in the Madden franchise to get hyped-up for. Really, at this point, buying the games has just become a formality for football fans wanting to get their yearly roster update fix. All joking aside, there are some new features to look forward to in this – and every – iteration of the mammoth football simulation franchise. But as much as they’re scrutinized and talked about, features take a backseat to something else: ratings....

Oftentimes, the Pokémon franchise is seen as a bit of a figure of fun. Sure, it has millions of fans all over this wide world of ours, but it also has legions of detractors and snark. They’ve got ample ammunition, after all. First and foremost, you’ve got the franchise’s aesthetic itself. In a gaming landscape of hyper-realism, Pokémon really hasn’t evolved all that much over the years. If that sort of ‘kiddie’ image is something that bothers you, the adorably toon-tinged series really isn’t your sort of thing....

With the anticipated sequel to Super Mario Maker, Nintendo’s taken the vast, elaborate template of the original game and injected even more Mario-style insanity. Just like the first game, they’ve offered a complex virtual toolkit from which to create, share, and enjoy all sorts of interesting levels. At the same time, they offer accessibility, with the focus on visual elements and touch-screen abilities. This well-crafted software has in turn provided a solid foundation from which creative designers - both amateur and professional - have built upon....

The hack-and-slash genre has seen its fair share of games and franchises, but few are as beloved or as acclaimed as Devil May Cry and God of War. These two franchises are unmatched when it comes to their characters, environments, weapons used, and a variety of monsters. In fact, many players who have played both find it hard to decide which one is better. When it comes to main characters, Kratos and Dante are hardly alike....

Remakes and reboots are the name of the game these days, and the latest example of that trend is The Equalizer. This action-drama franchise revolves around Robert McCall, a former covert agent now living the quiet life. Unfortunately, he sees everyday people around him being victimized by the criminal element. Not content to simply stand by, McCall dedicates himself to helping the downtrodden, putting his special skills to the test in combatting the worst that society has to offer....

Starcolt’s combination dog petting simulator and dating sim Best Friend Forever has been delayed due to COVID-19, to the heartbreak of many a gamer missing the tender touch of a lover or the innocent joy of a puppy’s adoration. Best Friend Forever is an escapist fantasy along the lines of Stardew Valley, whereby the player starts a brand-new life in Rainbow Bay, a town where adorable dogs and local singles abound....

The Acer Predator CG437K is a 43-inch 4k display with a VA panel that checks just about every box for premium gaming. The 3840x2160 display has G-Sync compatibility, 4k at 144hz (overclocked), HDR at 1,000 nit brightness, and yes, even individually addressable RGB lights. The Predator CG437K is full-on high-end gaming experience — if you’ve got the hardware to back it up. I had some reservations about putting a display of this size and intensity on my desk where I work and play, but after spending a few weeks with this beast I’m completely sold on the features and quality, even at its admittedly premium price....

Warzone players, by and large, aren’t fans of the Skill Based Matchmaking (SBMM for short) that’s been thrust upon them by Activision. This method of grouping players together for multiplayer matches is hated so much that third-party apps were developed to help you analyze the stats of the players in your lobby. On January 14, however, it was discovered that Activision had chosen to hide your stats by default, breaking those third-party apps....

New improvements in face-capture animation make it possible to capture an actor’s expressions and port them quite realistically into a game, while at the same time, traditional animation and voice acting are only improving as budgets soar and the medium continues to mature. Recently, even major screen actors have found themselves doing extensive work in video games, not just making cameos, like Keanu Reeves in Cyberpunk 2077 and Giancarlo Esposito in Far Cry 6....

A group of brand new opponents is arriving in Pokemon GO thanks to the Pokemon GO Tour: Kanto event. Like the various grunts of Team GO Rocket, the special Challenger trainers will be waiting at various Pokestops for a battle. While these new challengers function similarly to Team GO Rocket, their interactions with trainers are far more on the friendly side. Pokemon GO players participating in the new event will also have access to event-exclusive timed research tasks that focus on these opponents....

Resident Evil Village’s main villains have been unmasked. Our first clue to the number of evil figures haunting the game’s titular village came from the map revealing four main areas. And now, IGN has returned with pictures and descriptions for each of RE Village’s Four Lords. We’ll get Lady Dimitrescu out of the way first since she was the first Lord to be revealed. Lady Dimitrescu is a giant vampire lady who has a coven of lesser vampire ladies that all want to suck main protagonist Ethan Winters dry....

Skyrim is one of the single most popular RPGs of all time, making its way to numerous platforms spanning multiple generations. Even today, it’s played by thousands of people a day, nearly a decade after it first launched. But Skyrim, mechanically, is a simpler game than its predecessors, like Morrowind. Fans could be forgiven that Skyrim’s main quest is equally simple, but the reality is that its a lot more complex than it seems on a surface level....

Blowing up over the last month and becoming one of the most popular online experiences of 2020, Among Us has had a pretty insane rags to riches story. While the title was averaging very few players earlier this year, streamers eventually discovered the game and made it an online sensation, with Among Us now boasting around 60 million players. To accommodate for that massive influx of new fans, InnerSloth has canceled the pre-planned sequel to spend more time upgrading and improving its original hit....
