It wouldn't be Tokyo Game Show for me without a new EDF trailer. It just wouldn't! We've got four and a half minutes of footage from Sandlot's latest entry, Earth Defense Force 5, and it's a hoot. The battle scene at 2:35 with the hulking ...

The 25th Ward was an episodic sequel to Suda 51 and Grasshopper Manufacture's first title, The Silver Case. It was only released on now-obsolete flip phones in three chapter sets of five episodes apiece. Since The Silver Case was...

The original Xbox's original controller, the Duke, frightened me at the time. It kinda still does! There's been talk of bringing the gamepad back for Xbox One and Windows 10 and that initiative -- led by Xbox designer Seamus Blackley -- is ...

Musou games have only gotten better with big licenses like One Piece, Berserk, and The Legend of Zelda taking the exaggerated beat 'em ups and escalating them even further with their own distinct flair. I'm not a huge Fire Emblem fan by an...

Can you believe that earlier today I had no idea there was a video game in development based on the Showtime documentary series from that guy who got really fat and almost died off McDonalds back in the day, and now I know that's still the...

I think I open up every post I write about the original Kingsman movie like this, but what an effing surprise it was. In a rare occurrence I didn't catch the flick in theaters, and despite the positive reviews I still thought it looked...

I know what you're thinking: all Pokemon games are for babies. And you're right! But the Pokemon Playhouse Android and iPhone app is straight billing itself as the, "first-ever official digital Pokémon experience for preschoolers." ...

If you haven't figured it out by now, I'm a huge Yakuza fan. Ever since playing Yakuza 3 roughly seven years ago, I can't get enough of the series. I'm eagerly awaiting Yakuza 6 and having finished Kiwami roughly a month ago, I still pine t...

Look, by this point there are two types of people in the world. People who like Wes Anderson films and people who don't like Wes Anderson films. You can't fall in the middle. This is the Internet, there are no middle opinions. I fall in th...

Contrary to what we've been led to believe, the Rabbids are perfectly welcome in the Mushroom Kingdom. Their invasion hasn't been chaotic and destructive, but prosperous instead. Turns out merging the two wasn't a bad idea at all. According...

You've seen the trailer. You've read Jordan's tepid preview. Now you can watch over a half hour of pure, uncut The Evil Within 2 footage for yourself. It's the classic third step before step four, buying the game and never playing it and p...

The first gameplay of Hokuto Ga Gotoku was shown at the 2017 Tokyo Game show and it certainly looks like a Yakuza game. Kenshiro walks around the city of Eden and gets into some fisticuffs with other burly men. He even catches a ...

It's too early for the spooky season, seeing as how autumn doesn't even technically start until tomorrow. And it's really not close to Halloween considering that's at the end of October. This promotion doesn't make a ton of seasonal sense, ...

How do you talk about an epilogue DLC pack without spoiling a relatively new game for potential fans? Earlier this year, Capcom didn't give a flying crap and just spoiled the potential twist ending on their Twitter account. Me, though; I'm ...

A slew of Halo games for Xbox 360 are now playable on Xbox One through backward compatibility, and if you don't own or don't care to mess with The Master Chief Collection, that's darn good news. The timing here works out rather well. I've ...

The Tokyo Game Show trailer for Left Alive, Square Enix's upcoming Front Mission spin-off shooter, gives us an awesome first look at what the game looks like and how it will play. Footage includes fighting against Wanzers, which you can ev...

"Oh hey, I didn't see you there. No literally, I didn't see you, because I have a giant Project Morpheus PSVR helmet on my head, fishing with my buddy Noctis." That's a thing you can say later this year when Monster of the Deep is out,...

NieR is the little series that could, fueled by the pure passion of Yoko Taro. It was always an outlier, a spinoff of the Drakengard franchise that became something more, until NieR: Automata catapulted it to fame. Unlike its...

As we enter a new season, I'm still rejoicing over the West getting blessed with five Falcom titles. During this great period, I was waiting for XSEED to spill the beans about Zwei: The Ilvard Insurrection's release date. Lo and b...

Would you buy this giant Mega Man for nearly $300 (32,400 yen)? I wouldn't either. Maybe $50? I mean I don't even really have a place to put it, but seeing that smile on his face might brighten up my day every once in a while. Now that I th...

The Switch has yet another explosive week, as it's getting a Pokemon game and a beloved indie follow-up. Pokken Tournament DX and SteamWorld Dig 2 debut on the platform, in addition to LEGO Ninjago Movie Video Game, Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2,...

I've seen many folks go clan-less in Destiny 1, and that was perfectly fine. Bungie didn't really have any incentives to join one, and the system itself wasn't even in-game -- but rather, relegated to the unwieldy Bungie.net website. The si...

Bungie's loved/hated shared world shooter series just saw its second full release with Destiny 2. How'd it turn out? Jordan Devore, Darren Nakamura, and Ray Porreca gathered around the broken fountain on The Farm to talk about luminous engr...

NEXT TIME ON DRAGON BALL Z! It's a phrase I've heard uttered roughly a hundred times as I re-watched the Frieza arc over and over, but this time it's going to apply to a brand new fighting game by Arc System Works. Dragon Ball Fig...

A mobile release of Thekla's island puzzle adventure The Witness has been planned for a long time and it's now a reality at last. The iPhone and iPad version launched last night for iOS 10.0 and newer. The pricing is lower than expected at ...
