Often seen at Game Stream Festivals, the details about the official release date of Windjammers 2 has been elusive. It appears a street date may be closer to fruition. Developers Dotemu, makers of Streets of Rage 4 and TMNT: Shredder's Revenge, have announced an open beta for the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and PC August 11 and will go live…

Since the launch of the Switch, Nintendo has been strong advocates for setting a stage for independent developers to present their wares to to the public. Games like Hollow Knight, Overcooked, and Streets of Rage 4 have been on display in the past.

The event will be about 20 minutes long, and will air 9:00a.m PT (noon Eastern) to feature "…

I'm trying to think of a more useless video game franchise than the series of Army men games that plagued the video gamesphere for way longer than it ever needed to. How did this happen? I can't have a Dark Chronicle 3, but the planet demanded a Sarge's Heroes 2? Who had compromising photos? What skeletons were revealed? Are these games even bad?…

Valve's upcoming handheld system may be a pretty powerful piece of hardware when looking under the hood at the horsepower. A lot of social media has touted the Steam Deck as a "Nintendo Switch killer". The Nintendo IP exclusivity alone practically throws that argument out the window, but the comparisons are very opaque.…

Generally, more than a few years into a console's life, the unit sales would start to taper off. The Nintendo Switch has been immune to this, as the hybrid system has maintained a very steady pace when it comes to demand. According to Nintendo's most recent fiscal report, The Switch has sold 89.04 million units since its launch in 2017. For reference,…

The producers at Capcom announced last year that this upcoming season will be Street Fighter V's last, and the official reveals for the remaining fighters are rolled out.

Once a staple and standard for gaming, the arcades have been a decaying medium across the world. Now even in Japan, where they thrived the most, many revered attractions have been shuttering their doors. The Ikebukuro GiGO, which has been in business for 28 years and during the golden age of the gaming industry, will be closing down September 28,…

Nintendo is at it again! A few years ago Nintendo teamed up with Hasbro to release Monopoly Gamer: Super Mario Bros and then again with Monopoly Gamer: Mario Kart.

Well, the team-ups are continuing, but not with Monopoly. This time it's tackling The Game of Life. 

The Game of Life: Super Mario Edition…

When I think about some of the best sleeper games I’ve played, key titles come to mind; Demon’s Crest for the SNES, Mr. Bones on the Sega Saturn, and the Colony Wars series on the PSX. While I don’t think Panzer Dragoon fits the mold of a hit sleeper game or a dark horse that takes home awards, it has quietly been one of the better Sega games…

Given the data size of your modern game application, memory expansion for the the next gen consoles is almost guaranteed to be a must, and it's essential to shop around for SSDs based on download speeds and loading times. For the Xbox Series X, the solid state drive of choice is the Seagate expansion card. The Playstation 5, the most optimal…

When Kenji Matsubara stepped down at Sega almost to the day last year, it came as a little bit of a surprise to many. It was never stated that his resignation was for personal or professional reasons, as Sega had a financially successful year in 2020.

He wouldn't stay away from the business for too long, as the former head of Sega would be…

Kena: Bridge Of Spirits was first revealed back in February during Sony's State of Play digital live presentation.

The upcoming superhero movie has seen its development hiccups over the years, even going back as far as 2004, with various directors and writers being pinned to the project, but very little confirmed at the time. Borrowing elements from the Flashpoint comic, a crossover tie-in that features many Justice League heroes, this project was to tie…

I've always been harsh to Mega Man over the last twelve years, but not necessarily for game quality (that depends on if I ever decide to cover some of the genuine garbage the Blue Bomber has been in during his long-in-the-tooth days). Mega Man has been an incredibly influential franchise to action platform games. HOWEVER, I still firmly believe many…

Netflix has been incredibly eager in diversifying and adding more depth to their interest in dabbling with video game properties to mobile devices at no additional cost to your subscription plan, and it appears in the coming weeks and months, it's starting to bear fruit. In a story by…

EA, the company that everybody hates, but still makes billions of dollars every single year. 

They did a thing today, it was short, and kind of pointless. But EA gets points for trying! 

I am going to break down everything that was announced during EA's Play Live event.
