It was inevitable that Nintendo would enter the mobile gaming market at some point in time. There are many mobile games that bring in hundreds of millions of dollars a year based on brand new licenses, which means that Nintendo could surely replicate their success by using their own prized first-party characters. The first Nintendo mobile title was Miitomo, which felt more like an experimental leap into the new technology than a full-fledged game....

Nintendo Switch owners subscribed to Nintendo’s online service for the console have received what could be considered quite the treat. The service, which costs $20 a year, has added a range of Super NES games to what was already an impressive lineup of NES classics. If that’s not a great deal, we don’t know what is. Those who care for a bit of nostalgia won’t have to break the bank to purchase mini classic consoles if they already have a Switch, as there are currently over 60 NES an SNES titles (combined) that come with the subscription....

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate DLC is like a video gamer’s ultimate guessing game. Who is going to show up next? We’ve seen two whip-wielding vampire hunters, a copycat robot boy, a dream-invading high school vigilante, two martial arts drifters from different publishers, and…probably too many Fire Emblem characters. Fighters Pass Volume 2 is about to hit the game and it brings the final six DLC characters to the game. And Nintendo has now confirmed that the first new character coming to the game isn’t Waluigi, Sora, Scorpion, Crash Bandicoot, or Abobo....

Techland, the developer behind Dying Light, has announced it’s working on a brand new open world action RPG. While support for Dying Light 2 is set to continue for the next five years, the team has an unannounced fantasy epic in the works. “We’re very happy with what we have accomplished with the Dying Light franchise so far,” said Paweł Marchewka, CEO at Techland. “At the same time, our ambition is to introduce a brand new IP that is vastly different from what we have been doing for the past several years....

Mods are an amazing avenue for fans to add or change things in their favorite games. Dislike a mechanic the developers added? Remove it. Do you want to replace all of the dragons in Skyrim with trains? Go for it. Very little is stopping players from modifying their favorite games, and some users have taken that idea to heart. Some mods created for games are of AAA quality, sometimes surpassing what the base game does....

With Halloween fast approaching, this is the perfect time to pick up a few previously untouched horror games designed to give a good scare. While the genre is far from lacking in representatives, genuinely great horror titles are few and far between. For every intense and atmospheric masterpiece, there are equally as many uninspired trend chasers devoid of even the most primal of thrills. Like horror films, games belonging to this genre tend to run the gamut in terms of quality....

Lara Croft could be one of the most recognizable characters in video gaming. During her PlayStation heyday, she appeared in magazines and advertising campaigns for sports and energy drinks. Even though she isn’t quite the cultural icon in 2018 as she was over 20 years ago even the most casual fan knows who she is. 2018 saw a Hollywood blockbuster starring Oscar winner Alicia Vikander as the titular Tomb Raider. Even though the film didn’t do as well as expected by falling just short of breaking even, Vikander has expressed an interest in returning for a sequel....

Respawn Entertainment has released the patch notes for the Apex Legends Legacy update. And, wow, there’s a lot of new stuff dropping into the battle royale on May 4. For instance, it will no longer be just a battle royale thanks to the addition of the Arenas game mode. A new Legend named Valkyrie will also join the Apex Games with the Legacy update. Plus, Apex Legends is about to get its first bow weapon....

These games are Baldur’s Gate, Baldur’s Gate II, Baldur’s Gate: Siege of Dragonspear, Icewind Dale, Neverwinter Nights, and Planescape Torment....

For my money, Terminator 2: Judgement Day is a pretty perfect movie. While I know there are certain things people dislike about it (heck, even I could do without the “I need a vacation” line), this is a film that just gets better and better the more I watch it … and I’ve watched it a lot. Not always from beginning to end. Not always with my full attention. But if it’s on TV, I’ll put it on....

Ubisoft has just wrapped up an announcement adjusting its fiscal outlook for the year significantly downward. The announcement came alongside the confirmation that Watch Dogs Legion, Rainbow Six Quarantine, and Gods and Monsters have all been delayed and will launch in later 2020. And it seems the crux of the issue started with two underperforming games in 2019. Ubisoft confirmed that both The Division 2 and Ghost Recon Breakpoint have underperformed significantly....

During the closed beta for Tom Clancy’s The Division 2, I experienced numerous technical and performance issues. With the game now available for Gold and Ultimate Edition owners, I was able to dive in and see if many of these issues have been fixed. For the most part, it looks as though things have gone smoothly. Within the first few hours of my playthrough, The Division 2 was already star-spangled in its own right, with enough graphical swagger and fine-tuning options to suit your needs....

For those who missed out on The Last of Us - whether it was on its initial release on PS3 or remaster on PS4 a year later - the PlayStation-exclusive post-apocalyptic yarn was lauded as much for its characters and depth of writing as it was its undeniable technical achievements. Now it’s been remade for PS5, giving a whole new audience a way to play Naughty Dog’s masterpiece. We’ve put together a The Last of Us Part 1 collectibles guide for the game, one that will take you all the way through the main story, pointing you towards every Artifact, Comic Book, Firefly Pendant, Shiv Door, Toolbox, Training Manual and Safe Code in the game....

Bella Ramsey – who plays Ellie in HBO’s upcoming The Last of Us TV adaptation - was advised not to play the game ahead of joining the show. During her audition for the part, Ramsey was asked if she’d played any of Naughty Dog’s critically-acclaimed game. When she answered honestly - “nope” - she was apparently “encouraged” not to. “I was actually encouraged not to,” Ramsey told USA Today. “After my first audition, they asked me, ‘Have you played it?...

This article comes from Den of Geek UK. Hollywood is changing, and it seems that not every big comic book movie now needs to come laden with a huge price tag and the demand for a PG-13 rating (as we talked about here). Here are some notable examples working their way through development… The Joker Warner Bros heads into lower budget comic book movie territory for the first time since it launched its DC Extended Universe, and the most infamous antagonist in DC Comics is the first beneficiary....

Remember last April when we told you there was a new live action Doom movie coming? Well, the first trailer has finally dropped today and we can now confirm a few details. It’s called Doom Annihilation and as predicted, The Rock and Karl Urban are nowhere to be seen. In fact the entire previous movie appears to be completely swept under the rug as Bloody Disgusting reports that this is not a sequel, and instead we’ll be following a new set of marines responding to a distress call on a martian moon, only to find it overrun with actual demons from hell, rather than the genetic experiments gone wrong from the 2005… classic?...
