(Madden 2000 would be the last he would appear on before active players graced the series' art)

We here at Game Fix share our condolences to the passing of NFL Hall of Famer, former coach, and broadcaster John Madden today at the age of 85. A name revered throughout football, the Madden name also became very…

Mind you, this my own opinion regarding this, while their library is awesome and they were ever present in arcades and on home consoles, Data East is a company that is rather slotted in the second tier of video game developers and manufacturers. A staple of the industry throughout the 80's and early 90's, they weren't necessarily the same household…

The Evolution Championship Series, known colloquially as EVO, has a new face at the helm, announcing the hire of Combo Breaker Event Director and former Twitch manager Rick "TheHadou" Thiher as its new general manager.

We here at Game Fix got some early deets about some upcoming free offerings courtesy of PlayStation Plus to break in the new year. This is predating the official announcement, of course, as these games were leaked once again by a viable source that hasn't been wrong yet. Sure, leaks are to be taken with a grain of salt, it's been five straight months…

In a year full of blundering catastrophes in video game development (that includes Balan Wonderworld, a game that went according to plan), but perhaps none creating more of a spectacle than The Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy Definitive Edition throughout 2021. Muddied textures, graphical clipping, and hilariously warped character models make it just as…

The Double Dragon series is the granddaddy of arcade brawlers, establishing the genre in the 80's. As cousins of fighting games, beat'em ups were entryways for streetwise fisticuffs to find their way into homes, as games like Bad Dudes, Renegade, and The Ninja Warriors upped the ante and interest. Double Dragon started to quickly show its age once…

Tencent of China is continuing to acquire more names outside of China, and Turtle Rock is the latest purchase by the multinational technology brand. Turtle Rock gained notoriety for their release Left 4 Dead in 2008 under their working tenure with Valve. After reestablishing themselves in 2011 now under the name Turtle Rock, the studio provides…

Showcased at Nintendo's Indie World event, Kyoko and Misako are back for another bout of street brawling action in this follow-up to 2019's whacky spin-off beat 'em up. Joined by Kunio and Riki, two new characters are added to the fray in Marian (the former Double Dragon…

Have you ever read Homer's Obyssey? Weary from the Trojan War, Odysseus tries for ten years to make his way back home, incurring a frustrating ordeal, as he's spited and mocked by the gods. Friends and allies are lost, Odysseus struggles to hold on to his sanity in hopes of seeing his family again. I feel that perfectly embodies every moment I attempt…

King Of Fighters XV's newest character, Krohnen, may seem like a new face, but has many familiar traits of a character from an older KOF entry at the height of their NESTs saga story arc. It's not to intentionally overlook the announcement of KOF XV's second beta, which begins December 17 at 7pm Pacific time (4am CET), a brief glimpse into the history…

Along with the bevy of the ceremony itself, The 2021 Game Awards also serves host to various reveals and "world premieres".

Garfield will be added to the roster THIS WEEK as a free addition, bringing the roster count to twenty-one.

I think hyperbole is an overused literary device in regards to labeling what is the best and the worst of things, but in the case of describing in short detail a game like Earthworm Jim, I don’t saying that this is one of the coolest run’n’gun action platformers of the 16 bit era from an artistic standpoint, and was a game that began to define…

Xbox's Game Pass is currently one of the best deals in the gaming business, and is a good model to borrow inspiration from.
