RiffTrax, created by the legends behind Mystery Science Theater 3000 (and my personal comedy heroes), is now bringing the scathing lines from cinema to the world of video games. RiffTrax The Game is a multiplayer party game that will have players compete to make horrible movies funny. The game will boast over 250 clips from cinema's most horrid…

Product placement is good for getting the brand out there. Slap the name on some merch, buy some billboard space, run some ads on TV. Video games aren't foreign or uncommon of this practice, corporations stick their commercial properties on such 8 and 16-bit works like McKids,…

Paramount's newest trailer for the fan-anticipated sequel to 2020's financial and critical success Sonic the Hedgehog will be its final. Sonic the Hedgehog 2 is less than a month away from its theatrical release, introducing the familiar face Knuckles the Echidna as Sonic's adversary, aiding Dr. Robotnik, who is looking to take advantage of the power…

Another update here in early March for free video games, and this is courtesy of the Nintendo Switch Online Service + Expansion Pack. Nintendo has put focus in making the Expansion Service as appealing as possible, and pundits and subscribers have been turning the corner on it. This month, a new (old) title hits the Nintendo 64 library with F-ZERO…

Sony's March 9 State of Play was an announcement that had been rumored, but the official statement seemingly came out of nowhere. This 25 minute presentation will showcase some upcoming games heading to the PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4 family of consoles in the near future.

As turmoil and bloodshed break down over the Russian invasion in the Ukraine in these very perilous times with innocent civilians caught in the crossfire, there comes some positive news. A charity drive has been put together by developer Necrosoft Games (creators of Hyper Gunsport and Gunhouse) have collaborated with…

Every now and then, a concept so simple can be a pretty stimulating game with a lot of replay value. Nintendo perhaps seemed inspired by the arcade classic Joust, which precedes Williams Electronics' game by two years, and put their own spin on the action platformer. Whenever I talk about Super Smash Bros.' legitimacy as a fighting game, I generally…

DLC and microtransactions are no longer an uncommon practice in today's video game atmosphere. Takes on them range from being very controversial to ambivalent. Gran Turismo 7 is the latest entry in Sony's exclusive racing series, and fans have taken notice of the cost of the game's monetization and how its in-game currency is…

Bandai Namco, the publisher of the action RPG Elden Ring, has been taken aback by the success of FromSoftware's latest work. Although there was a lot of hype prior to its announcement trailer, and the studio's previous reputation with its Dark Souls series, the PS4 console exclusive Bloodborne, and its past works that include Armored Core, Otogi, and…

Smash Bros Ultimate for the Nintendo Switch is one of the fastest selling games in the fighter genre, and only trails behind Mortal Kombat in terms of best-selling franchises. It would only make sense to have one of the most popular modern video games featured at EVO (Evolution Championship Series), the year's biggest competitive…

Heading into the early 90's, home computers had become more accessible to consumers, and DOS games were becoming immensely popular, even alongside the success console games were achieving. With the advancements in technology, games would abandon the DOS format and games were more regularly being stored on CD-ROMs. When it comes to retroactively…

Ah, what's there to say about Super Mario Sunshine? It really seems to be one of the more divisive Mario games, aside from maybe Super Mario 2. I've heard takes like "it's not a real Mario game" or it's too gimmicky. I remember playing it initially and thinking Sunshine plays like a more polished Super Mario 64, but with the F.L.U.D.D. mechanic. And…

Last year the Pokémon Center USA website released a line of Pikachu figures featuring various "moods." Each figure was released one at a time, with a two limit purchasing option. That didn't stop the bots and scalpers from sweeping most of them up instantly to turn around and sell on eBay for double and triple the price. 

If you didn't pay the…

The Call Of Duty franchise has been a staple of mainstream gaming, especially in the age of streaming, for the better part of 17 years. In a decision that may surprise the community, publisher and developer Activision has decided to hold off on a new entry in the series for a year. According to…

After lots of speculation and silence, PlayStation 5 owners finally have a peak at the next evolution of their virtual reality headset. PSVR was a success for the medium, selling over 5 million units in its lifetime and solidifying a market for VR gameplay. Pundits and fans have been clamoring for the PS5 follow-up. The new design offers a sleeker…

"Why has Star Wars never attempted a fighting game?", is a question that has likely been asked. One would think that during the rising popularity of video games, along with the success of Star Wars interactive media, that a 2D tournament fighter would've been attempted. It never happened, until 1997's Star Wars: Masters of the Teras Kasi for the…

As was written previously, the reveal many had expected was made official after the finale of Capcom Pro Tour's 2021 season, which showcased various First to 5 exhibition sets featuring the best Street Fighter V players from around the world. This event was in place of Capcom Cup, which was cancelled due to complications from the Omicron variant of…
