The Last of Us II is a little more than a month away from its new released date, a fresh trailer was dropped, promoting the story of the narrative-driven sequel to the 2013 hit survival horror game. This seems to be an effort to curtail the effects of the bombshell spoilers that occurred last week and place focus back on retaining any mysticism left.…

NetherRealm Studios and WB Interactive had a surprising announcement. For what could be the first time in the history of the Mortal Kombat franchise, MK 11 is getting story DLC.

Microsoft has confirmed that their premiere presentation of the Xbox Series X will be streamed live May 7th with a new showcase called "Xbox 20/20". No David Muir present. Very much like Nintendo's Direct events (which are a little more spontaneous), Xbox 20/20 will be Microsoft's means of sharing updates, gameplay, and information with the world on a…

The arcade version of Punch-Out!! really annoyed me, mostly because I was never good at it. But it also felt impossible to adequately improve, because when I only had a handful of tokens to spend at any given cabinet, I wasn't going to blow my allowance trying to beat Piston Hurricane. I grew up more on the NES port of Punch-Out!!, which is…

 I really, really tried to go back and have a second opinion on this game, hoping that I could overlooked something. Perhaps I was just furious with the fact that I blew $49.99 on the lamest Ninja-based video game since the NES port of The Legend of Kage, But no, the second I popped this into my PlayStation, I remembered why this was one of the…

Thanks to the coronavirus, the 36th iteration of WrestleMania wasn't packed in front of 80,000 screaming fans. Instead, the event was pre-taped and took place over a span of two days. While I liked half of the event, considering the circumstances, I think it would've been really fun if the feuds were had out over the various wrestling video games that…

Sony is taking that a step further by launching their "Play At Home Initiative". On top of your normal PS+ download games, you will also be able to download Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection and the beautiful indie…

I loved Kid Chameleon as a child. The titular character carried that aura of 80's suave and coolness that was ubiquitous. By the way, doing retrospectives, seeing mullets and the acid wash I've learned that it continued looking like 1985 until at least 1997. As a platformer compliment alongside Sonic the Hedgehog and Revenge of Shinobi, Kid Chameleon…

Called the "DualSense controller". This is the biggest redesign of the PlayStation controller yet. The biggest change is the two-toned colors and the slightly altered angle of the shoulder buttons. It also includes a built-in mic to allow you to talk and rechargeable…

“This battle will make your blood boil!!”

Such a statement never rung more true when I was seven years old playing Jackal, and that pre-game text crawl displays itself. It's one of my all time favorite video games and the first I ever grew completely attached to on the NES. At the time, it was the only Konami game we owned…

 "Even with us finishing the game, we…

R.C. Pro-Am is one of the early innovators of vehicular combat games. It's got quite a lot of play in our house and for a very straightforward concept, this has very high replay value. There's a good chance that almost anyone who had an NES (or knew a friend who did) has either owned or seen someone play R.C. Pro-Am at some point in the late 80's and…

Mods are always a treat and can add a lot of creativity from independent creators to bring some life to gaming. 2019's remake of Resident Evil 2 saw its share of great mods with central pursuing villain, Mr. X. With the recent anticipation of the upcoming Resident Evil 3, Jill's persistent hawker Nemesis, gets a bevy of clones to make her life…

With many kids stuck at home during the COVID-19 quarantine, schools are having to deal with this pandemic and education of the billions of kids who can't leave their house to attend classes.
