With every new console generation, there’s always the conversation of which console maker has the best launch game lineup moving into November. Other than the backwards compatible titles, both the PS5 and Xbox Series X/S have a few promising games coming day-and-date with both systems. However, like the many console generations before it but especially so in 2020, the majority of the true-to-form next-gen games are slated for release in 2021....

Since Dragon Ball arrived in North America over 20 years ago, it has been captivating audiences and continues to remain popular today. In each Dragon Ball series that released, Goku stayed as the central character and a person whose life we follow. Like all Dragon Ball characters, there is much about Goku that can be turned into satirical memes. Internet memes are capable of spreading awareness about various topics. They have educational, comedic, and entertainment purposes among other reasons....

First airing back in 2015, Dragon Ball Super brought back the series in a big way. It was always one of the more popular media franchises in Japan, but the addition of a new – and more importantly canon – series following two immensely popular theatrical films really made the hype for Super all the greater. We’re going to see the series off in about a month, but don’t worry, this isn’t the last we’re going to hear of Dragon Ball itself....

Everyone knows that Pokémon are great little creatures that we walk around our neighborhoods and capture, or maybe even watch on televison. But what too many people don’t understand is that the real beginning was Pokémon Red and Blue. Yes, we know that the card game technically came first, but we’re going to ignore that for a second here. PokémonRed and Blue for the Game Boy Color were something new to the RPG video game market....

The Nintendo Switch’s success may seem perplexing initially, but it actually does make quite a deal of sense. After the disaster that was the Wii U (in terms of marketing, that is,) Nintendo came around with a marketing campaign targeted at just about anyone and everyone with one of the most innovative consoles on the market. Part handheld, part home console, all Nintendo, the Nintendo Switch was Nintendo telling the world it wasn’t done innovating, but it was done playing second fiddle to Sony and Microsoft....

With over 200 episodes, Teen Titans Go! is one of the most popular and well known shows on Cartoon Network right now. The series is a hit with young audiences and has proven to be a huge success. It’s been on the air for Nearly five years now, which for a children’s television show, is pretty good. The new take on the original Teen Titans series sees the cast in a more comedic and laid back setting, favoring shenanigans and slapstick comedy over the original’s storyline driven episodic formula and consistent character development....

Since Pokémon Red and Green were released in 1996 (Japan) the franchise has given us new and exciting creatures with each installment. However, after 8 generations, there are still 27 unused type combinations. Additionally, many of the new type combinations players have been given are restricted exclusively to Legendary, or limited to only 1 Pokémon. Gengar, for example, is still the only Ghost/Poison-type to have appeared, and it has been around since Gen 1....

When the Xbox One first launched two years ago it was at a severe disadvantage when compared to the PS4. That year’s E3 hurt the Xbox brand in many ways, causing a number of gamers to jump ship to PlayStation, even after Xbox reversed its stance on the controversial used games policy and always-online requirement. Shortly after switching gears, Microsoft’s Head of Xbox Don Mattrick left for Zynga, and Phil Spencer was put in charge....

Before you can say “what” again, Samuel L. Jackson is invading your favorite video game. No, the Hollywood superstar isn’t pulling a Vin Diesel and voicing an Ark character for seemingly no reason. But thanks to the work of some dedicated Redditors, San Jackson is appearing in The Sims, Skyrim, Mass Effect, and many other gaming universes. It’s called virtual cosplay, and there’s a lot of it. Character creation is a staple of open world RPGs, life simulators, and MMOs....

According to Northwestern’s Josiah Hester, assistant professor of electrical, computer science, and computer engineering, “It’s the first battery-free interactive device that harvests energy from user actions....

A League of Legends fan decided to bring their two favorite games together by creating an outdoor esports arena in Animal Crossing: New Horizons. They “almost went insane ordering all those servers,” according to Reddit user Meowbly. They spent a ton of bells and countless hours converting a section of their village into an esports arena so that villagers could witness live matches of League of Legends. There are a few issues, however....

Travis Scott cemented himself as a mainstay in the gaming industry with his recent PlayStation partnership – collaborating on a PS5 launch video and line of merchandise. However, it seems that this partnership might be leading to something a bit more exciting than just promotional content, as Forbes is reporting that “it’s a multiyear deal that could involve a cobranded console and perhaps even a game designed by Scott.” Scott doesn’t exactly have a background in game development, but he’s well-known to most people in the industry....

Those invested in Activision Blizzard stock should be happy to hear that it is at its highest point since 1984. Wall Street Journal tech reporter Sarah Needleman reports an unprecedented high point for Activision Blizzard. Since early 2020, the world at large has been grappling with the lingering COVID-19 pandemic. While its effects are causing strain on many, the gaming industry has been enjoying a major rise in demand for at-home entertainment, which is clearly shown by the historic stock uptick Activision Blizzard is currently experiencing....

While most look at Transformers: War for Cybertron, High Moon Studios’ foray into the eternal struggle between the Autobots and the Decepticons, as a break-out success, that assumption is typically in connection with the game’s varied single player campaign. Its multiplayer component, on the other hand, is not looked upon in such a reverential light, but High Moon hopes to change that with Fall of Cybertron, their Transformers sequel due out this August....

Hitman 3 is finally available, and while you may be having a few issues with transferring your Hitman 1 and 2 save data (don’t worry, we all are, it’s not just you) the rest of the experience has thus far been thrilling, as our own Kirk McKeand testifies in his review of the trilogy’s finale.
