The final season of Game of Thrones comes out tonight. It leaves me asking one simple question: Why can’t anyone seem to make a decent Game of Thrones game that allows us to play as the characters that we both love and hate? Some of you will undoubtedly say that we have one in the…
Fortnite has reigned supreme as the leader of the battle royale genre. Since its release, though, Apex Legends has emerged as a serious challenger. Apex Legends launched in February 2019, scoring 25 million players in its first week and 50 million players in its first month. Apex is perhaps the first game to truly match…
Apex Legends took the stage in early 2019, breaking records almost instantly. With 50 million players in the first month alone, King’s Canyon will be seeing players fight for victory for a long time yet. While picking up the game isn’t too hard, there’s definitely a learning curve to become a top Legend. Here are…
Google recently announced the Stadia game streaming service and hope to launch it in 2019. The search giant is known to be ambitious and try things they haven’t done before. The thought of playing 4K games at 60 frames per second is a nice, but not everything Google does end up like the homerun that…
After twelve years in business, the Wii Shop Channel closed its digital doors for good today. Last year, Nintendo stopped allowing users to purchase Wii Points for digital products. Yesterday was the last day to redeem any remaining Wii Points toward purchases. While users can still re-download WiiWare and Virtual Console titles, as well as…
GoldenEye 007 was a groundbreaking first-person shooter on the Nintendo 64 when it first came out in 1997. It still holds up surprisingly well eighteen years later with its varied mission-based gameplay, stealth elements and smart level design — not to mention the best split screen multi-player of the 90s. In many ways, GoldenEye laid…
It might not seem possible but Xbox 360 is 10 years old. Microsoft’s second home console ushered in the longest generation in gaming history with a series of unique features that have become standard in modern consoles. No longer are gamers tethered to their consoles as wireless controllers have become a standard feature. The hard…
Capcom excited fans yesterday with the announcement that they will be remaking the PlayStation classic Resident Evil 2 for modern consoles. The game is in its early stages of development so no gameplay or screenshots were shown. That has left a lot of people to wonder what the Resident Evil 2 Remake might actually look…
Yesterday’s Nintendo Direct presentation was Nintendo’s first in 2015, and the publisher wasted little time rolling out its big plans for the first half of the year. It was not a “news bomb,” it was more like an air strike of announcements. Frankly, to re-cap yesterday’s Nintendo Direct is difficult, because so much was revealed: it…
To reflect on the past year in video games, 2014 has been…to put it lightly, kind of a disappointment. As the first full year for the “new-gen” PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, I feel like both Sony and Microsoft could have come out a bit stronger. Nintendo’s hardware sales are still nothing to brag about…
I was browsing gaming sites yesterday, and eventually stumbled upon a great editorial featured on Nintendo World Report – the author broke down the Nintendo 3DS’s hardware sales, which have been quietly dwindling over the past few years. As he points out, the 3DS actually started off very poorly in 2014. The 3DS has been…

Check our handy guide for everything you need to know about The New Nintendo 3DS & 3DS XL on one convenient page.
There are certainly a few very exciting Nintendo 3DS releases to look forward to – Super Smash Bros. for 3DS, Theatrhythm Final Fantasy: Curtain Call, Pokemon Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire, and Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate are just a few names that really stand out. Unfortunately, beyond winter 2014 and early 2015, the list starts to get pretty slim…
I remember the first time you could get something special by “pre-ordering” a video game. Anyone that reserved a copy of Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time for the Nintendo 64 before it launched in 1998 received a special gold-colored “Collector’s Edition” cartridge, with a shiny gold box. To this day, the gold carts are…
