After being in development for over six years, the troubled game known as Anthem launched earlier this year to less than stellar reviews from both critics and fans. While BioWare continues to release fixes, content, and improvements to get the game back on track, a recent article has managed to shed light on just how strenuous and difficult the development was for BioWare employees. Suffering a number of reboots and changes, some of which were made at the last minute, BioWare had to make some tough decisions in order to hit EA’s fiscal target release....

After the rumors of Assassin’s Creed III taking place during the American Revolution became a reality and Ubisoft started releasing artwork and screenshots for the game which emphasized its wild, outdoor environments, the immediate reaction among the Game Rant staff was that Ubisoft was embracing the Red Dead Redemption style for the next Assassin’s Creed. As it turns out, Rockstar Games’ award-winning game based in the Old West was, in fact, a source of inspiration for Assassin’s Creed III....

The latest title in the long-running Ubisoft franchise, Assassin’s Creed Valhalla releases in one week as a launch title for the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X, as well as on current-gen platforms. In celebration of the upcoming release, Ubisoft has planned a digital variety show called Odin’s Hootenanny, which will begin on Friday, November 7, at 9 a.m. Pacific time. The celebratory event will feature a few online media outlets and will be hosted by Danny Wallace, who has written and acted in a number of Assassin’s Creed games dating all the way back to Assassin’s Creed 2....

Assassin’s Creed Valhalla is the next entry in the long-running franchise, and it seems to bringing together the best of all worlds. Of course, the verdict is still out with gameplay for AC: Valhalla dropping in a few days, but the more the information spreads, the clearer the picture becomes. For example, Assassin’s Creed Valhalla is clearly treading its own path by abandoning Odyssey’s level grind but still following its lead with a romance system....

Since its release in 2009, and long past its discontinuation in 2012, the Wii has held a special place in many gamers’ hearts, mine included. It was a unique console at the time, making use of a controller that detected movement in three-dimensions. Players were encouraged to get up and move as an increasing number of games supported this new interactive way of gaming. Although previous attempts have been made to allow gamers to control things on-screen with their arms, hands, and body, the Wii was the first to truly achieve this....

Heroes, they’re kind of the most crucial element to a video game’s story. If you’re going to be having a gamer spend hours in the shoes of a character, that character better be extremely likable. Fortunately for designers, charm can take many forms. Players have fallen in love with game heroes’ funny one-liners, tragic backstories, or even just simple adorable looks. When done right, those aspects can even propel a video game hero into greater pop culture stardom....

Yesterday was a big day for major Xbox announcements. On one hand, Microsoft confirmed that the Xbox Series X will be launching sometime in November, just three months from now, but on the other, it was revealed that Halo Infinite has been delayed to 2021, leaving the console to launch against Sony’s PlayStation 5 without its flagship title. It’s a huge shift in Microsoft’s plans for the holiday season, one that will be a major blow to the Xbox Series X’s launch now that its highest-profile exclusive has been taken out of the equation....

COD: Mobile, one of the best mobile games out there, boasts a vast array of weapons for players to choose from. From awesome sniper rifles to great assault rifles and even submachine guns, players can’t go wrong. The submachine guns in the game all have some really impressive firepower and one thing they all have in common is their fire rate. Although their fire rates are all good ,they are not all the same in terms of their numbers....

Nintendo is responsible for some of the most celebrated video game characters and franchises of all time. The Legend of Zelda has grown into one of their most popular series. It’s been incredible to see how Nintendo has experimented more with Zelda titles over time and Hyrule Warriors is one of the most prominent examples. The change of pace was a huge hit and Nintendo hopes to recapture that magic with Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity, a prequel to Breath of the Wild....

When Batman: Arkham Asylum released back in 2009, the game was received as a critical success, showing other developers that superhero games could be a viable genre. Through attention to detail and complete reverence for the caped crusader’s reference material, the Batman: Arkham series helped to heavily influence Insomniac’s Spider-Man last year. This Batman: Arkham treatment of detail assisted in leading the wall-crawling hero to massive success, allowing for Insomniac to triumphantly announce a sequel starring Miles Morales....

In video games, a good narrative journey is filled with conflict. A main bad guy that connects with the player is a key element a story-driven game needs. Far Cry villains are one of the series’ attractions. So much so that for every Far Cry main game released, the antagonist is always on the cover. Vaas is the cover of Far Cry 3, Pagan Min is the cover of Far Cry 4, and Joseph Seed is in the center of the cover of Far Cry 5....

When Naughty Dog released The Last of Us in 2013, it took the video game industry by storm. The Last of Us was unlike anything seen before, setting a new bar for interactive and cinematic storytelling in the medium, and creating a post-apocalyptic world that was more focused on the relationship between its leading characters, Joel and Ellie, than being just another action game. In fact, The Last of Us was written as a standalone experience with an ambiguous but definitive ending, leading toward a lot of roads for The Last of Us 2, where its story will be eyed by all fans of Joel and Ellie....

As with the N.Sane Trilogy, as soon as we fired up Nitro Fueled we got a big old hit of nostalgia....
