While enemies and bosses are the beating heart of any Soulsborne experience, Elden Ring included, some Soulsborne characters are traditionally more powerful (and much more important) than others. In Elden Ring, few characters are more powerful, or more important, than the fabled demigods. According to the game’s lore, demigods are to blame for nearly all

While the PlayStation team has remained committed to their effort to bring more of their first-party titles to the PC, their release strategy for those ports has been…erratic so far. It’s sometimes tough to tell which first-party games they will port to the PC and when those ports will actually be released. It also seems

In theory, superheroes should be the perfect video game characters. They’re powerful, they’re colorful, and they exist in elaborate worlds filled with objectives and things that are trying to kill them. Despite their potential, though, there are really only a handful of truly great superhero games. That being the case, you’d think that even pretty

Mascot fighters live and die by the quality of their rosters. Super Smash Bros. probably wouldn’t be half as popular as it is if the game didn’t feature an all-star cast of characters voiced by fitting actors. While MultiVersus doesn’t play exactly like Super Smash Bros., it still recognizes the importance of a strong roster.

Gamers were recently rocked by a Bloomberg report that seemingly revealed some of the first substantial GTA 6 details. While the information in that report hasn’t been officially confirmed by Rockstar, Bloomberg’s Jason Schreier has historically been an incredibly reliable source when it comes to those kinds of leaks and reports. According to Schreier, GTA

While video games based on movies have enjoyed a terrible (and not entirely unwarranted) reputation for years, the fact of the matter is that many of those adaptations are actually surprisingly good. At the very least, most of them are noteworthy. After all, notoriety is the advantage you get to enjoy when you adapt a

When you hear the name “Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty,” there’s a good chance that you simply think of the game itself and your memories of playing it. However, there’s an equally good chance that the mere mention of that name instead gets you thinking of its controversial debut and the ways it

Boss fights are a recurring element in most modern video games. While not every game out there features traditional bosses, many titles at least usually elevate an opponent far above the standard rank and file enemies. However, like all things in video games, the very concept of a boss fight had to start somewhere. The

The first time producer Jeremy Latcham came to San Diego Comic-Con, alongside Kevin Feige and the rest of the early Marvel Studios team, he wasn’t even allowed inside of Hall H. None of them were. In that strangely arcane moment from recent pop culture past, Marvel Studios’ gambit to go it alone was dubbed by

The legendary Super Nintendo’s main goal was to deliver a console that was so much more advanced than the NES that it would convince everyone that it would ease the worries of a weary market that had been burned by incremental hardware upgrades before. Of course, the SNES ultimately offered better graphics, better sound, better

It’s been four years since Bethesda teased The Elder Scrolls VI. How time flies when you’re waiting for a game supposedly designed to be “played for a decade.” Of course, if you’re looking for a way to pass some of that time (and Starfield doesn’t look like it’s going to be for you), then you

There’s a degree to which Stray will always be “the cat game.” For quite some time after BlueTwelve Studio’s new project was announced, it was widely known as “that cyberpunk-ish game where you play as a kitty.” Even after Stray was finally released earlier this week to widespread critical acclaim and incredible early player counts, the

This article contains spoilers for Stray. Gamers have been eagerly awaiting the release of Stray ever since the indie title was announced in 2020. Now that the game is finally out, people are eating it up by playing it or watching it play out on Twitch. Regardless of how they’ve experienced one of the best

Stray may be a fairly small and short game, but it’s packed with secrets, collectibles, and sidequests that you can easily miss if you don’t take the time to explore your surroundings. Even if you do take the time to explore Stray’s lovely cyberpunk world, though, you’ll likely still have a hard time locating every

Stray‘s biggest selling point may be the ability to run around as a particularly cute cat, but don’t take the game’s charm as a sign that it’s going to be a complete walk in the park. Actually, there’s a pretty good chance that some of the game’s Digicode and safe puzzles will leave you scratching

Nowadays, gamers tend to complain if the newest title doesn’t at least maintain a solid 60 FPS in full 4K. That’s a far cry from gaming’s early days when the humble NES was showing that console games didn’t need arcade-level hardware to stun us with some truly visually impressive games. Granted, back in the ‘80s,

Ask many gamers about their memories of the PlayStation 2, and you’ll likely hear them gush about the best-selling console’s many great games, incredible controller, and revolutionary multimedia features. Ask a developer about their memories of the PlayStation 2, and you might just hear a war story about how incredibly difficult it was to get

When Super Mario Sunshine was released for the Nintendo GameCube about 20 years ago, it’s safe to say that fans of the most famous fictional plumber in the world were expecting it to be an almost direct follow-up to the legendary Super Mario 64. In other words, many gamers simply wanted to explore the Mushroom

This Resident Evil article contains spoilers. Netflix’s take on Resident Evil is unlike any other adaptation of the long-running game series. Not just in its change of format but in its approach to blending the franchise’s zombie-ridden world with a semi real-world setting in which everyday conversations run the gamut from Covid-19 to Dua Lipa.

For over 25 years, the Resident Evil franchise has been the premier name in horror gaming. Across that time, the series has delivered scares, thrills, and a series of stories that have gradually formed one of the most complicated and bizarre mythologies in all of gaming. While there are a few somewhat forgettable Resident Evil

Since the Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5 are currently the most powerful consoles on the market, one might expect game studios to only develop for those current-gen platforms. While many companies do indeed focus their efforts on the latest consoles, many more are still creating games for the Xbox One and PlayStation 4. That

As we work our way through the slow days of the summer gaming season, it’s not exactly a surprise to learn that many people find themselves returning to Elden Ring. After all, it’s not just one of the best games of the year (possibly ever), but it’s the kind of open-world game filled with secret

Elden Ring is one of those games you can keep returning to over and over again and never get bored. Maybe you want to try a new build or pursue a different ending, but regardless of your reasons, you will still have to wade through the same enemies, for good and for bad. Every monster

Activision Blizzard is currently under investigation following accusations of harassment, discrimination, and fostering a hostile work environment. You can read more about the investigation here. Diablo Immortal offers a variety of timed Zone Events, but the sad fact of the matter is that many of them are simply not worth setting your watch to. One of

Anyone who has tried to keep up with the Resident Evil timeline will tell you that the famous horror franchise ranks right up there with the Legend of Zelda franchise in terms of chronological confusion. However, Resident Evil‘s confusing timeline isn’t just limited to its lore. There have also been many times when trying to

Tracked scores in video games come in different forms. Titles such as Devil May Cry 5 use scores to judge a player’s ability to weave together different attacks, while Tetris uses scores as a measure of a player’s critical thinking skills and ability to plan ahead. Even games that don’t feature obvious scoring systems are

While Rockstar has finally started talking about GTA 6 a little more than they’ve talked about that project in recent years, the fact remains that you likely won’t be able to play the next GTA game for quite some time. That being the case, it seems like a lot more people are suddenly wondering if

“The Twilight Zone is returning” is a phrase that we love to hear, but it’s also one that comes with quite a bit of baggage. This is, after all, a show that’s been rebooted no fewer than three times since “The Bewitchin’ Pool” concluded the original run in June 1964, with cancellation always lurking nearby,

The Sega Genesis is one of the greatest consoles ever made as well as Sega’s best attempt at reaching the top of the console gaming world. Indeed, in their effort to do just about everything a little differently from how Nintendo thought things should be done, Sega ultimately turned the Genesis into the home of

The Yakuza series made its debut in 2006 (2005 for Japanese audiences) and has gone on to become one of Sega’s most beloved franchises. Originally a PlayStation exclusive, the series has since made its way to “rival” platforms. That’s good news for PC gamers and Xbox owners, but it also means that new fans have
