Every piece of equipment you use in Monster Hunter Wilds is vital for the next hunt. That doesn’t just include your armor and mantles, but your choice in Talismans too. These function exactly like Charms from prior titles, with all of their names and descriptions even referring to them with that term. What’s more…
Once again, Marvel Animation is showcasing the fact that it’s been saving the MCU’s ass for years. A little over 2 ½ years after the Black Panther prequel show was announced, we finally get a sneak peek at how beautiful Eyes of Wakanda will be when the four-episode series premieres on Disney+ on August 27. As dazzling…
Monster Hunter Wilds has a plethora of different combat and movement options to help during your hunts. Fans of previous entries are surely familiar with the benefits of using a dive, colloquially known as the “Superman dive,” during combat. Anyone new to the series might be left confused about how the technique works.
Last month, developer People Can Fly announced that work on a game codenamed Gemini was being suspended over issues with the publisher regarding payment and communication. The publisher was believed to be Square Enix, and fans speculated that the project in question was a sequel to Outriders, a surprisingly good 2021…
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild marks the first (and so far only) game in the franchise to feature a DLC story expansion. In addition to the expanded narrative, The Champions’ Ballad features new dungeons, weapons, and more for those who want to spend more time in this version of Hyrule. If you want to know…
Few moments hit on the original SNES like your first time hearing “Stickerbush Symphony” while shooting through a labyrinth of towering thorny beanstalks in Donkey Kong Country 2's Bramble Blast levels. It’s one of the best songs to ever appear in a game, alongside one of the most evocative 16-bit platforming levels…
You probably won’t find many names in video game voice acting who have had the surge of success and recognizability Ben Starr and Neil Newbon have had since 2023. Starr, who played Clive in Final Fantasy XVI and Verso in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, and Newbon, best known for his performance as Astarion in Baldur’s…
Remedy Entertainment, the studio behind Alan Wake and Control, recently launched the company’s first live-service game: FBC: Firebreak. But the game’s first two weeks haven’t been great, with low player counts and balance issues. Remedy is aware and working to not only improve FBC, but also support it for the long…
If you browse the catalogue of games available as part of Sony’s PlayStation Plus service, you’ll see that the critically acclaimed puzzle sensation Blue Prince is classified as a “quick adventure.” This is a lie on par with saying that you can find a Mew under the truck by the S.S. Anne in the first generation Pokémon
I leave Elden Ring Nightreign matches all the time. Sometimes I’m playing with friends and we botch the first Evergaol mini-boss at level 2. Sometimes I’m playing with internet randos and the Recluse runs off to farm crystals without telling anyone and we get wiped multiple times by the Perfumer’s crossbow-wielding…
I’m tens of thousands of feet underwater, here on a mission to uncover the remains of a tragic and colossal accident that saw an oil rig collapse and sink to the bottom of the ocean off the coast of Scotland. I’m here for answers. I’m here for closure. Hopefully I’ll find some mementos to bring back to the families…
Red Dead Online, Rockstar’s other live-service game that isn’t as popular as Grand Theft Auto Online, isn’t dead. Well, not entirely. The online cowboy simulator just got a small update that adds a few creepy missions and promises more to come later.
Squid Game creator Hwang Dong-hyuk has always maintained that the psychological thriller series is more than gore porn; it’s a commentary on the social and economic inequalities of the world we live in. When you aim to mirror the darkest impulses of mankind, naturally, some real-life terrible people will stumble into…
Persona 5 is all about a group of high schoolers confronting corrupt individuals in a paranormal world, parallel to our own, called the Metaverse. When they defeat someone in this metaphysical space, the target’s real-world counterpart has a “change of heart” and repents for their crimes. In the original 2016 game,…
When tracking down Oblivion Remastered’s best greatsword, one would likely check the armorer first, right? Wrong! It’s at the Mage’s Guild of all places. You see, the best two-handed sword isn’t a sword at all, it’s an illusion. A trick of the eye that deals damage like a physical object. Oh, and even better is, it…
Megan 2.0 hit theaters this weekend, but it failed to match the original horror film’s impressive box office debut, and it now seems unlikely that a third movie will get greenlit anytime soon.
I love using Dual Blades in Monster Hunter Wilds; its attacks are satisfyingly fast and hectic. Being able to enter a powered-up demon mode while spinning around like a Beyblade is something I’d like to do in every game from now on, please. Unfortunately, my biggest grievance with the weapon is when I accidentally…
In Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, there are a total of 10 Nevron quests. By completing these quests, you can unlock the “Aiding the Enemy” achievement or trophy.
The Steam summer sale is an annual opportunity to add vast numbers to the teetering pile of games you’ll get around to playing someday.

Who is making Donkey Kong Bananza? That’s been one of the big questions on fans’ minds ever since the Switch 2 title was revealed, fueled by the fact that Nintendo seemingly refused to say which studio or internal team was behind it. Now we finally know. Nintendo has confirmed the game that walks, talks, and quacks…
