Collecting retro video game systems can be dirty work. As time goes on, there are fewer consoles in circulation, so if you want to score good deals, you've got to be a lot less picky about condition. Fortunately, there's still plenty of great stuff out there in relatively good shape—you've just got to be willing to scrape years worth of dust from grandma’s attic off them.

Video games are easily the most versatile form of entertainment. One moment, you could be cruising down a picturesque highway, evading the cops in a souped-up sports car. The next, you’re racking up Victory Royales as you play several rounds of Fortnite against players from all over the world. But one genre where the the medium truly shines is much darker than colorful llama pinatas or flattening Koopa Troopas: the world of horror gaming.

When it comes to innovation in gaming, virtual reality is the most exciting frontier there is. It’s one of the simplest ways to fully immerse yourself in another world, whether you’re exploring a bizarre series of nightmarish, surreal vignettes or doing your best to defuse a bomb while a partner in the real world relays a set of instructions to you. It’s an intriguing, promising medium that may still be in its infancy, but is still teeming with some of the coolest experiences you’ll ever have wh

Tyler "Ninja" Blevins, one of the biggest names in Fortnite and one of Twitch's biggest streaming stars, has announced he's leaving the service to stream exclusively on Microsoft's Mixer platform. Blevins announced the pending move Thursday, bringing a hugely lucrative partnership with the Amazon-owned Twitch to an end. Taking to his Twitter account with a link to his new Mixer channel, foreshadowing "the next chapter" of his streaming career, he dropped a follow-up clip where he noted he had b

If you owned an Xbox 360 and hungrily devoured fast food in the early 2000s, chances are you’ve heard of Sneak King. Yes, the “bargain bin” Burger King game that featured a man in a comically-oversized king mask creeping around while shoving food into strangers’ hands is a familiar sight for most Xbox 360 owners. It was gleefully weird, in-your-face, and positively riddled with meme potential, which we’re still seeing today.

The Fortnite World Cup Solo Finals champion is 16-year-old North America East player Kyle "Bugha" Giersdorf, who finished with a staggering 59 points after a whirlwind of a competition. His prize? A cool $3 million, plus the undeniable knowledge that his life has been forever transformed.

When you go to the grocery store, it's tempting to drop a little more cash on those little convenient items. Why buy whole apples when you can buy pre-packaged sliced fruit? Who wants to make their own salad dressing when it's already bottled? These things may be cheap and easy time-savers, but consider the larger scheme of things.

Food has been the centerpiece of many scenes in Star Trek, but the franchise rarely examines the cultural impact of the simple (but essential) task of eating. The only impression we get for the most part, in the Federation at least, is that the views and traditions of food consumption are "normal."

Nintendo has long been known for innovation, and the company’s latest accomplishment is the Nintendo Switch. The console is home to some of the best first-party titles and third-party releases to have graced a newer platform in some time.

Ever since its inception, the open-world Grand Theft Auto video game series has had a love affair with America's biggest cities.

Believe it or not, the PlayStation 4 has been around for six years. We’re on the brink of a new console generation, but this 80-generation console is still a formidable and impressive piece of technology. It’s amassed quite the enviable collection of games as well, with exclusive series like Persona and God of War acting as system-sellers and impending titles like Hideo Kojima’s potential opus Death Stranding coming to roost on the system later in 2019.

Nintendo is making a massive push to expand and refine its current inventory of Switch devices, and with that, consumers are likely in for a world of confusion. After just , Nintendo almost immediately dropped another bomb on consumers: There are now we know simply as the Nintendo Switch.

Next week, the world’s best Fortnite players will descend upon New York City with one goal in mind: to determine the winner of the lion’s share of a massive $30 million prize pool. That, and bragging rights for the title of “Best Fortnite Player in the World.”

A mass petrification event befalls humanity one day, turning the entire world to stone. An alternate universe Tokyo saddles a fire-wielding task force with staving off spontaneous human combustion. A group of high school students set off down the clumsy and occasionally awkward path to adulthood. What do all of these things have in common? They're all themes from summer 2019's new crop of anime series.

Time travel narratives are a well-trodden path for many forms of media: The Time Machine, Predestination, and even Avengers: Endgame looking to the trope for ways to move their individual stories along. But, as it turns out, it's for good reason – the idea that you can 'undo' undesirable events by simply rewinding the flow of time is an attractive one, to say the least.

Nintendo just introduced the device with which it plans to finally bury the 3DS: the Nintendo Switch Lite. The revised version of the popular handheld and home console hybrid is a smaller riff on the current Switch model with fewer features at a budget price, and it’s hitting stores September 8.

As we pass the halfway point of 2019, we’re staring down a jam-packed second half of the year when it comes to blockbuster video games. But we’ve already racked up so many excellent titles that it’s hard to keep track.

The generator takes two random Pokémon and forcibly smushes their usually disparate characteristics together to create an insane new mashup, new name and all. You can also manually select the two monsters that comprise your new creation, but it's much more fun to let the fusion machine work its magic with the 151 original Pokémon in its database. You can get different results based on which Pokémon you plug into the equation, of course, yielding thousands upon thousands of ridiculous results. Th
