The Switch version the beloved handheld title maintains every bit of charm and magic of the original, 26 years later.

Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch arrives on Switch, bringing its magical, colorful adventure to life on the console. Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch is a colorful storybook adventure that first debuted in 2013 on PlayStation 3 from Level-5 as a collaboration with legendary animation outfit Studio Ghibli. It found success (and later spawned a sequel), but Switch owners had been without a way to experience the tale – until now. The original game (not the remastered versions that also hit

I used to be able to count on Bloober Team for quality games, or at least I thought I could. Layers of Fear was enticing, and Observer quickly transformed into one of my favorite games of all time. Around its release, I believed I had found a new favorite developer, and I was eagerly awaiting to play whatever came next from them. Then I suffered through the dismal Layers of Fear 2, and it felt like all the magic had been lost. When Blair Witch was announced at Microsoft's E3 2019 conference, I

When it comes to virtual basketball, there aren't many choices — it's either NBA Live or NBA 2K. Both can typically be relied on for some serious action, though as any Madden fan can attest, yearly releases often yield few updates or improvements on a familiar formula. Luckily, this time around, 2K Games' NBA 2K franchise returns with a slam dunk of an installment, just in time for the upcoming season. For $59.99, you get NBA 2K20, the latest iteration of one of the most popular sports games on

Gears of War first hit the scene 13 years ago on the Xbox 360, where it introduced some of the most exciting third-person shooter gameplay the console had seen, and where it remains one of the most exemplary titles of the genre, even now.

Monster Hunter World: Iceborne is a massive undertaking that feels as fresh and expansive as a brand new game. Monster Hunter World: Iceborne is a complete, paid expansion for Capcom's massively popular Monster Hunter World series. Developed and published by Capcom on Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC, it's a full-fledged companion to the already lengthy action RPG/monster hunting extravaganza. It's meant to build on nearly every aspect of the base game, beginning with an all-new story that picks

Battle Chasers: Nightwar is a turn-based RPG with modern and retro elements that manages to dazzle, despite the usual trappings of mobile gaming. If you're looking for a sprawling mobile adventure that feels like jumping into a classic game of yesteryear, you'll find it here.

Gears POP! is an entertaining strategy game based in the Gears of War universe that's fun until its free-to-play trappings show their true colors.

If music has ever moved your soul, gave you something to believe in, or otherwise touched your heart, Carole & Tuesday is for you. The result of anime studio BONES' (My Hero Academia, Fullmetal Alchemist) collaboration with the legendary director Shinichiro Watanabe (Cowboy Bebop, Samurai Champloo) is one of the most exciting music-themed projects in some time, and now, the first 12 episodes of the series is available to stream on Netflix. Equal parts touching, comforting, and bursting with ene

The LG V40 ThinQ was released in 2018 as the flagship phone for the Korean electronic megacorporation. It brings to the table a lot of the same features as other premier phones released around the same time. When you're looking at a plethora of phones, all with the same processors and RAM, it's hard to choose which one is right for you. At that point, it’s the little thi

The series follows SAM (Kamali Minter), a robot hailing from the kingdom of Botica. SAM stands for "Special Associate Model," as she reminds us (and every one of her new friends) as she meets them throughout the show.

Borderlands 2 'Tiny Tina's Assault on Dragon Keep' DLC review: Roll for initiative, suckas Borderlands 2's Tiny Tina has got some bizarre quirks and qualities a vocal few openly denounce, but she's memorable in a way so few women in games are. All that, and she's still a little girl. The frenetic little firecracker is a bundle of energy, so it makes perfect sense that she should host a game of Bunkers & Badasses, an obvious parody of Dungeons & Dragons. In "Tiny Tina's Assault on Dragon Keep,"

The punishing difficulty ensures defeat in most cases, making it an absolute certainty that a restart will be necessary at least once. That same frustration, however, is what attracted the droves of players to Capcom's open-world RPG in the first place.

Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night is the latest game from Koji Igarashi, assistant director and writer of Castlevania: Symphony of the Night. Igarashi was a lead on many fan-favorite Castlevania games, and his departure from Konami meant the end of an era for the series.

For a side-story that’s not as fully realized as it could be, 'Youngblood' still manages to get the most important aspects — the gunplay, level design, and spectacle — right. In Wolfenstein: Youngblood's harrowing alternate version of the '80s, the Nazi regime still rules most of the world with an iron fist, but the Blazkowicz sisters are putting up a hell of a fight.

Watching established characters stab each other in the back, scheme, and even cheat their way to victory as Yumeko is able to stop them nearly every single time is just as satisfying as watching Sailor Moon defeat the bad guys each episode. You know what the end result will ultimately be, but it's an addictive rush the whole way there. This tension (as well as the sheer absurdity of each wager) is literally expressed with dark colors, sinister music, and not least of which the absolutely terrify

Snapchat's gaming platform Snap Games is host to a few fun-filled mini games that you can invite your friends to play on the go. One of the first titles for the platform, Tiny Royale, proved it was just as formidable of a diversion as any "bigger" console release, and could easily capture your attention while being played right from within Snapchat. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said of Snapchat's new Bitmoji Tennis game, which is colorful but ultimately hollow.

Mobile developer Niantic's Pokémon Go was a massive success, and it's still attracting eager players with each passing month. According to Sensor Tower, Pokémon Go's loyal player base pushed its total revenue earned into the billions, as the game reached $2.6 million just days ahead of Niantic's next game's release: Harry Potter: Wizards Unite.

Put simply, it’s the best crime drama not on TV. Sega and Ryu ga Gotoku Studio's Yakuza series, while excellent, is still unfortunately relegated to niche status by most gamers. Luckily, fans know quality when they see it, and with 2016's Yakuza 6: The Song of Life giving legendary series protagonist Kazuma Kiryu a fitting end for his storied legacy, fans have been clamoring for another sojourn back to where it all began: the fictional city of Kamurocho. Judgment (Judge Eyes in Japan) is a spi

Out of Bethesda's myriad properties, one of the least likely to receive a sequel seemed to be 2011's Rage. Yet, here we are. With Avalanche Studios (Just Cause, Doom) taking over main development duties from id Software, Rage 2 set out to make something bigger and better than the first installment. Does it succeed? Sort of.
