The Last Case of Benedict Fox is an upcoming Metroidvania, set in what looks like Victorian times, with a Lovecraftian twist. Or, at least, there are tentacles involved. Check out the reveal trailer below: The description reads: “Take on the last case of Benedict Fox and dive into a twisted world of secret organizations, forbidden rituals, and cold-blooded murders. Explore the memories of deceased victims as you search for clues and fight demons in this fantastical Lovecraftian Metroidvania....

It’s easy to forget the kind of climate in which the original The Last of Us was released. While 2013 marked an era when games like Beyond: Two Souls inundated us with alternate endings and Bioshock Infinite was still fiddling around with a karma system, Naughty Dog’s post-apocalyptic road trip across America was notable for being unwaveringly committed to a single narrative. There were no dialogue options in sight. Seven years later, the same is true for this second part, which Naughty Dog creative director Neil Druckmann famously teased is “about hate” this time around rather than love....

The Mandalorian was one of the biggest television hits of the past two years. The show, centered on the bounty hunter Mando and based on the Star Wars universe, is in fact full of characters, heart and action, which thrill audiences of all ages. And today, according to some rumors, The Mandalorian may soon have its own video game. A well-known and reliable insider, Shpenshal_Ed, has just shared details on a possible video game based on the adventures of the Mandalorian....

I remember arguing about The Matrix in 1999, sitting with friends in a Borders bookstore cafe. When I was 17 years old, I was famously cranky about the ground-breaking trilogy, mostly for dumb reasons, but I was right about one thing: the soundtrack does not hold up. Even as an angsty teen, I worried that tracks like Rage Against the Machine’s “Wake Up” and Rammstein’s infamous “Du hast” were just a little too on-the-nose....

The Sega Dreamcast was the first console to introduce online play. As the most powerful console of its generation, Dreamcast had some instant classic games. So, why was it a failure – and not just a failure but the company’s last console ever? © Sega, Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons Multiple factors led to the downfall of the Dreamcast and Sega consoles. Despite its failure, the Sega Dreamcast remains a legendary console....

Key Points MySpace was a popular social networking service launched in 2003. At its prime, MySpace was worth 12 billion dollars and had 20 million users. MySpace eventually failed because it targeted a niche audience who reached college age just as other sites like Facebook were reaching popularity, resulting in a mass shift to new platforms. While MySpace was the first social media platform to spread globally, its demise was also the largest public fall from grace the internet had seen thus far....

This The Simpsons review contains spoilers. The Simpsons Season 31 Episode 22 The Simpsons end season 31 with one of those Christmas presents people give their pets. This is fair because they carved out a horror episode for Thanksgiving this year. “The Way of the Dog,” is cute as a puppy dog’s ears and it is no turkey. “The Way of the Dog” begins without opening credits or a couch gag....

With the new Sims 4 expansion comes new cheat codes. Journey to Batuu Expansion is based on Star Wars themes. There are light-saber, clones, and many items you will be exploring. New items cost Galactic Credits, there are amazing new clothing and lightsaber. All this comes with price tags, after completing an activity you can earn credits. You can later use the same to buy things in Sims 4 Journey to Batuu....

This review contains spoilers. 2.4 The Weak Are Meat The Terror: Infamy finally starts to come together as a horror show in The Weak Are Meat, a grotesque episode that sees several characters fall victim to the yurei haunting Chester Nakayama and the rest of the Terminal Islanders. While the horror continues to lean a bit too much on the gore factor, the episode also ups the supernatural element that has been missing from the series since its second season began....

The wait is nearly over for all the fans of Hunter x Hunter. While the news broke back in July that Yoshihiro Togashi had completed chapter 391 after a multiple-year hiatus, there hadn’t been any news on when we could actually read the new material. With a new tweet from Shonen Jump, we have a date for when the new chapters will be released to the public and their subscribers at large....

Telltale Games had the highest of highs and the most soul-crushing of lows last 2018. Their flagship series, The Walking Dead, may have simply gone away much like the company itself had it not been for Robert Kirkman’s Skybound team. Kirkman, the mind behind the modern-day zombie apocalypse comic itself, decided to keep the dream alive. That leads us to the present, with The Walking Dead: The Final Season’s third episode — Broken Toys — releasing with Skybound at the helm....

The Walking Dead’s upcoming tenth season will arrive this fall under the weight of outside context, with the developing TV movies that will focus on Andrew Lincoln’s returning Rick Grimes, the imminent exit of Michonne actress Danai Gurira, and the most recent development, the sudden end to the show’s primary source material in Robert Kirkman’s comic book series. Indeed, an endgame for the show now seems visible on the horizon. While things will likely be clearer after Comic-Con next week, some news has surfaced about a character from the comic series who’s set for a (belated) TV debut in Season 10....

You gotta hand it to CD Projekt RED (CDPR), they made a title that is a solid contender for Game of the Decade (not just a Game of the Year winner), The Witcher III: Wild Hunt. As proof of their impressive art, we are here still talking about the game, even if the buzz surrounding the said game studio right now is mostly about their new upcoming title Cyberpunk 2077. It can’t be helped, The Witcher III is such a great game....

Capcom has offered up more details on the next three fighters coming to Street Fighter V during their Summer Update last night, including the five-year-old game’s final new character, Luke. While specifics were kept deliberately vague, we do know Luke is a kickboxer. Director Takayuki Nakayama also revealed that Luke will provide “a glimpse into the future” of the Street Fighter series when he launches in November of this year. He also got his own video showing off some of his moves, which you can see below....

A new video for Streets of Rage 4 goes behind the scenes with its development. While it’s fascinating to see the steps French developer Dotemu took in designing Streets 4, I found it equally interesting to learn of its influences for the game. Streets of Rage 4 does, of course, draw a lot from its predecessors. But the developer also made some nods at classic fighting games. The video is narrated by Jordi Asensio, game designer for Streets of Rage 4....

In July, G2A proposed a key-blocking tool for developers that could possibly prevent the scamming of review keys for resale. However, it would create the tool only if at least 100 developers sign up for it. At current time, however, only 19 have signed. Though G2A has extended the deadline to the end of the month, the lack of support has prompted Subnautica developer Unknown Worlds to demand $300,000 in lost revenue from G2A....

Let me get this out of the way quickly: Superfuse looks really good. It’s basically a Cel-shaded action RPG in the cut of Diablo. Four-player co-op or single-player fun. There’s a comic book presentation - and a comic book plot, about people who have become gods and whatnot - which means that gorgeous comic book panels pop up during cut scenes and the designers have been wonderfully bold with the application of halftone....

This Supergirl review contains spoilers. Supergirl Season 4 Episode 9 “Elseworlds Part 3” had a huge mandate – show off the Trigger Twins in a fun way, wrap up Deegan and the Monitor with a satisfying conclusion, and, apparently, launch about a thousand other major Arrowverse story lines. And do it all with a million characters we love, in an alternate reality that would maintain the high quality of “Elseworlds Part 1” and “Elseworlds Part 2....

Ninty has confirmed that Cloud saves will be available for Switch owners when the console’s online service rolls out later this year. In addition, the company revealed that those of you who plonk your money down for a Switch online subscription will gain access to a bunch of classic NES games. There’s 20 in total confirmed for launch, 10 of which are as follows: Soccer, Tennis, Donkey Kong, Mario Bros., Super Mario Bros....

OtherSide Entertainment has unveiled the first teaser trailer for System Shock 3 at GDC 2019, and it’s about as brief as you’d expect. Still, considering this is the first we’ve seen on the game since its reveal four years ago, I won’t throw a Victor Meldrew about it. System Shock 3, in case you didn’t know, is being masterminded by Warren Spector, the video game designer who worked on a number of acclaimed titles including the original System Shock, Deus Ex, Epic Mickey, and Thief: The Dark Project....
