Let’s find out in our official review.

Back in May of 2018, I remember briefly asking Junichi Masuda, then of Pokémon developer Game Freak (and now chief creative officer at the Pokémon Company), whether Pokémon might one day follow the likes of Zelda and Mario into some kind of open-world format. At the time he called it a “possibility,” if, and only if, the studio could find the right way to balance the traditional Pokémon staples with the open-world formula that was proving so successful elsewhere....

Sony paid $229 million to make Insomniac a part of the PlayStation family, and that acquisition happened after the success of Marvel’s Spider-Man. There are plenty of success/horror (depending on which side of history you stand) stories out there about people who could have bought into something that became big years later, or companies that were sold for a minuscule percentage of what they would go on to be worth. One of the more newsworthy examples to rear its head was how much Sony paid for the movie rights to Spider-Man....

Sony’s Gran Turismo movie continues to progress, with Stranger Things star David Harbour having now joined the cast. Sony’s live-action Gran Turismo adaptation was announced earlier this year, and confirmation of an 11th August 2023 release date for the movie followed not long after.

Red Dead Redemption 2 was easily one of the best games to come out in years. With its compelling storyline, addictive open-world gameplay and spellbinding aesthetics, there’s no wonder as to why it shattered records the world over, selling $750 million within three days. The long-anticipated sequel to Rockstar Games‘s Red Dead Redemption is still a title that gamers frequent.

Spec Ops: The Line was a shooter with a difference, and what precisely that difference was I’m not going to spoil for you, because it was pretty cool (but suffice it to say: check out Spec Ops: The Line). It wasn’t a commercial blockbuster, though, although a lot of people still think of it fondly. One such person asked writer Walt Williams why it won’t get a sequel, and Williams gave a pretty clear cut reply....

Spider-Man for the PlayStation 4 is one of the most anticipated games of the year. Back at E3, the game was featured in a part gameplay, part cinematic trailer. It featured the appearances of Electro, Rhino, Scorpion, Vulture, and Mister Negative. A mysterious, unseen villain appeared at the end, with Spider-Man saying, “Wait, you?” We may have a confirmation of who this villain is. At the very least, an interview may have revealed another antagonist in the game....

Out of scenic nowhere, MudRunner 2 has been announced. Saber has stated that MudRunner 2 will build upon the existing game with “new features and enhancements”....

Well, I have heard of Square Enix making RPGs about guns and shooting things to pieces and looking in corners for treasure chests while fighting insane amounts of battles and loving your life because you die and restart four years ago when you were still young and just starting the game. deep breath However, I sure haven’t heard of something like their new project: Gun Loco. This time around, Square Enix is making a third person shooter and they are confident enough in their project’s ingenuity that they are saying it shall “redefine” the run and gun....

In the third episode of Star Trek: Discovery Season 2, the Klingons make a big comeback, which of course, means a ton of references to the rest of Star Trek canon and the Klingons in specific. (Think purple!) But, this episode also had callbacks to Vulcan history from The Animated Series and even a really hilarious reference to Tribbles. Here’s every hidden reference and Easter Egg we caught in the Star Trek: Discovery episode “Point of Light....

Undead Labs has revealed that microtransactions will not be featured in upcoming zombie-slaying sequel State of Decay 2. Studio chief Jeff Strain confirmed as much to IGN, though didn’t delve any deeper into the subject.
