Netflix’s animated adaptation of “Castlevania” is pure bloody brilliance, distilled into two seasons with just twelve episodes. It’s beautifully animated, brimming with stylish homage to the video game series, and it revels in the violent showdowns depicted between humans and demons. It’s also one of the most emotional and vulnerable depictions of familiar characters like Trevor Belmont and Alucard – and, yes, Dracula himself. The gruesome dirge, where an army of vampire and demon soldiers rout

After making players wait what seems like an eternity, Capcom finally announced a remake of Resident Evil 2 at E3 2018. Fans went crazy, and for good reason, because the Resident Evil series was an integral part of shaping the survival horror genre into what it’s become today. As such, Resident Evil 2 is considered one of its best titles. The original Resident Evil was already given the remake treatment back in 2002, with new gameplay mechanics, revised puzzles, and more. Now, 20 years later, it

Going to see The Incredibles 2? You’re probably well aware that the PG-rated animated feature from Pixar is a family movie, or at least it’s meant to be. It’s the long-awaited sequel to a film that came out 14 years ago to a rash of praise from moviegoers and fans alike, and it’s considered one of the best Pixar movies. You may also be aware that people are incredibly horny for the heroine of The Incredibles 2,  Elastigirl. Especially New Yorker film critic Anthony Lane. Lane’s review has been

Nintendo made a number of intriguing announcements at E3 2018, including a brand new Super Smash Bros. game. Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is coming this December to Nintendo Switch, and it’s bringing every single fighter who’s ever been in the game together once and for all (well, minus one overlooked character).

In between sessions of educational PC games that my parents required me to play as a child, I'd swap out CD-ROMs and play a sci-fi adventure called Commander Blood. Timing was all-important, as I had to find the right moment to swap out programs if my father happened to walk into the bedroom where the family computer was.

"You mean you just grow crops, pretty much?" I remember turning to my parents with an incredulous look on my face as they unveiled the latest Game Boy title I'd be glued to for the next few weeks. After hours of The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons, it was such a staggering departure from what I was used to that I couldn't quite wrap my head around the concept of becoming a virtual farmer.

Unrequited love is painful enough, but a passionate affair that blossoms in the shadows is wrought with many of the same challenges. Would you rather watch your love from afar as they meander through life with someone else by their side, or would you be content to reserve every smile, every kiss, and every tender touch for moments during which you know you won't be judged? What's more, how could this be communicated through a video game? Are video games even capable of exploring meaningful inter

Your favorite horror franchise is lying to you. With every monstrosity that bursts through the window in a dark hallway, every jump scare that prompts your blood pressure to rise like mercury in a thermometer, and every room that plunges you into darkness while miscreants attempt to sniff you out, games are furthering a clever ruse fabricated years ago: That terror can only truly stem from being caught off-guard.

Fortnite Battle Royale is one of the wackiest games out there. It’s also a verifiable meme machine, and its latest craze comes from the addition of what could be considered the first usable vehicle in the game: a shopping cart.

The venerable fighting game series Street Fighter celebrated a big birthday with the release of the Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection, a compilation of 12 fighters pulled from the franchise. Street Fighter itself is a steadfast part of any fighting game enthusiast's library, and it's also been home to several memorable and iconic characters since its inception. Ken, Ryu, Chun-Li, Cammy: you know them all.

This year marks Mega Man's 30th anniversary, and developer Capcom is trying to make sure everyone, fans and newcomers alike, are able to celebrate the milestone in style. If you've never played any of the Mega Man games, you've been missing out on some of the best titles you could possibly find, so you've got to rectify that as quickly as you can.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 is, in many ways, a huge departure for the popular shooter franchise. While every single game in the long-running franchise has placed its own unique spin on things, this year's release has made some very out-of-the-box decisions in terms of what it's going to offer and how it will present that. Ever since the official game reveal on May 17, we've been ruminating over what else we'd like to see aside from what's already been confirmed.

God of War is a grim adventure with very few moments that could be considered comedic, by any means. Sure, the PlayStation 4 exclusive game can coax a giggle out of you if you happen to catch one of warrior Kratos’ awful “stories” he shares with his son Atreus, or tune into one of the non-sequiturs he calls a “joke.”

For better or worse, Avengers: Infinity War‘s ultra-powerful villain Thanos left quite the impression on moviegoers. But it wasn’t just the latest Marvel film that welcomed the Mad Titan—he also made an appearance in the massively popular battle royale video game Fortnite.

Are you ready for nonstop action that only gets better and harder the farther you progress in the game? That’s exactly what I Hate Running Backwards brings to the hybrid shoot-em-up and endless runner genre. The bombastic action game is actually a shoot 'em up created in reverse, with its developers having coined the term "shoot 'em down." That means you'll be backing away as you get into back-to-back enemy shootouts, destroying the environment, and panicking as you try to survive.

There are tons of fantastic new games out there where your goal is to rip through enemies and emerge victorious, but far fewer where you can chill out, explore, and appreciate the world around you, no matter how bleak it may be. That's what you'll get in FAR: Lone Sails, which features a deftly woven narrative surrounding a unique vessel that you must use to cross a massive dried ocean bed in a broken, dying world.

Grab yer gun, pardner, and step into the role of Kid, a young farmhand who finds himself caught in a conspiracy between that dang Saints-Little Gang and the Chepakwik tribe. You'll have to rustle up a few companions to make things right and save your home of Bronco County, because there are quite a few varmints who want you dead. Well, what do you say? Are you in or are you too yeller?

Applying for a reporting job and then getting shoved on camera because they don’t want to hear what you have to say about gaming, they want you to be the face of the things they want to say about gaming.

You've snagged countless chicken dinners in PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds. You and everyone else in the world are crazy about Fortnite. But have you taken Boss Key Productions' Radical Heights for a spin? It's the newest project from the studio helmed by Cliff Bleszinski, and it's got just about all the raditude one can handle.

After spending nearly two years in Early Access, Funcom's Conan Exiles is now available in its full, complete form — which means there's never been a better time pulverize your enemies into a pulp as you journey throughout the savage land of Hyboria.
