One of the benefits of modern gaming is being able to update and add content as needed. This is in comparison to the cartridge-based days when what you bought was what you got. Streets of Rage might have started its franchise journey in arcades and on consoles, but, those two mediums didn’t have the flexibility of being updated at the turn of a key. And, just like that, developer Dotemu has announced a new patch and buffs available for Streets of Rage 4 in an update arriving today....

Geoff Keighley’s Summer Game Fest - which aired last night, in case you missed it - will return as both a digital and physical event next year, the host has announced. This will, presumably, put the show in direct competition with E3 - which has also announced a plan to return next year digitally and in-person. Keighley, of course, previously worked on programming at E3 before the two went separate ways....

If you think there are too many Fire Emblem characters in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, you’ll be happy to know that series director Masahiro Sakurai agrees with you. “There are too many Fire Emblem characters,” says Sakurai in a recent issue of Famitsu. “And there are too many sword characters. I, too, understand. However, these things are already decided, so we move forward. The things I should be thinking about are elsewhere....

English publisher The Irregular Corporation has announced that it has done a deal with Deadly Premonition developer Swery and his studio White Owls to bring freestyle mystery RPG The Good Life to consoles and PC this Summer. The game, which was originally funded via a Kickstarter campaign back in 2018, will see you take on the role of New York-based photographer Naomi who’s sent on assignment to rural England and a town called Rainy Woods where everything seems perfect, but a little too perfect....

Let’s face it, Sword Art Online: Alicization Lycoris released in a disappointing state. I’ve covered this in detail in our technical review as well as our official review, but it still bears mentioning here. There are numerous problems from janky camera movement, clunky controls, unbearably long loading times, framerate drops, crashes, poor optimization, and various multiplayer bugs. Still, we might be getting some good news because a fix for FPS drops, autosaves, and other bugs is due to arrive later this month....

When it comes to role-playing games the PlayStation has some of the best greatest games in the genre that were ever released. The popularity of the Final Fantasy series helped bring more JRPGs in the genre to the west with many of these titles gaining a huge fan following of their own. While there were some ports of PC western RPGs like Diablo and Legacy of Kain: Blood Omen, it was the JRPG that was the most dominant genre on the system....

Like a lot of the biggest franchises, Pokémon has become more than just a monster-catching title. It’s the monster-catching title. Super Mario Kart was the game that created the kart racing genre, Doom marked the birth of the FPS as we know it, and Pokémon is the series that all monster catching and collecting RPGs are inevitably going to be compared to. As you’ve surely noticed, Temtem is the new kid on the block, and it’s starting to make a real name for itself....

In the early 1980s, Atari released a series of games for their popular console that are now considered to be some of the best games in that genre. Atari‘s real-time strategy games are some of the first video games to implement this type of gameplay. They’ve proven to be hugely popular with gamers who enjoy challenging themselves with strategic thinking. © Milton Buzon/Shutterstock.com The original games were designed for the Atari 2600, but some of them have been ported to other systems....

Quicksilver and the Scarlet Witch’s inclusion in the Marvel Cinematic Universe was just the latest chapter in the long history of X-Men characters joining the Avengers. Wanda is back for Avengers: Endgame, of course, and we assume you know what happened to Pietro in Avengers: Age of Ultron. But those aren’t the only two X-Men that have answered the call to assemble with the Avengers. Plenty of mutants have become major parts of Avengers history....

Sniper rifles are a useful weapon for picking off players in Call of Duty: Warzone. Since the launch of the battle royale, sniper rifles have remained dominant on the battlefield. Moreover, the integration with Black Ops Cold War has introduced sniper rifles such as the Pelington 703 to Warzone. Also, Black Ops Cold War sniper rifles have a reduced sniper glint, making them less punishing when aiming in. The Pelington 703 base weapon already has excellent handling, while providing the accuracy you need to eliminate your targets....

When the title for the newest Doctor Strange film was released, it seemed certain that a film titled Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness would be bursting with cameos. Although some fans may have left the film disappointed with how many cameos were in the film, there were still plenty of fun surprises along the way. Of course, spoilers for Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness will follow as we rank the cameos in the film....

Xaviant released their battle royale title The Culling into Early Access at the end of 2016 and it plodded along until the player numbers dropped off. There were better versions of the genre popping up but that;s not phases them as now they have announced The Culling 2. In October last year The Culling was eventually released, but by that point, PUBG and Fortnite had taken a tight grip on genre....

As we get closer to Call of Duty: Warzone Season Three, it has become clear that changes need to be made. The meta right now isn’t in a great place. Bringing back some variety by giving life to the weakest guns is a good start. However, nerfing the top guns that dominate the meta is arguably even more important in making sure that Warzone Season Three is fun. Certain guns have reached usage rates that just aren’t healthy for the game....

For the past four years, the Destiny franchise has had a love-hate relationship with its fans. Sure, there’s quite a number who’ve become very hopeful for its continued success. There are those who are truly invested and engrossed in what Destiny has to offer. In fact, I would even argue that it has become “the FPS gamer’s World of Warcraft“ in that regard. However, there are still some growing pains. One of those is the latest update for Iron Banner in Destiny 2 — a change which has caused a problem for many players....

FOX engaged the quantum drive for The Orville season 2 as a renewal for Seth MacFarlane’s unique space drama was confirmed back in November of last year, halfway through the successful first season.
