In terms of iconicism, there are few things that can stand up to Pikachu from the Pokemon franchise, but they do exist. One might argue that Godzilla and his array of monster companions and enemies are equally recognizable, and now they can be seen together like never before. Shell Studios just revealed a new Pikachu figurine with an incredible twist: he’s cosplaying as Mecha Godzilla. While both characters are awesome and iconic, few would have expected to see them in any official capacity like this, but it doesn’t seem like anyone’s complaining about the odd collaboration....

Though TikTok is a relatively new social media platform, it has taken the world by storm. Millions of users around the world go on the app to create their own content or view others’ videos. Gaming companies such as PlayStation have been using the platform to advertise, but the recent motion to ban the app in the US may stop this from continuing and will land the country’s government in a lawsuit with the social media platform....

For the past decade and a half, the Call of Duty series has gone on to be one of the flagship series in games in terms of commercial success. While its multiplayer servers have been flooded with millions upon millions of players at any given moment, their campaigns have been a staple to every entry as well. Of course, their stories cover multiple time periods, from the World War II era all the way into the far sci-fi future....

When it comes to character creation in games like Dark Souls or Bloodborne, it’s usually a smart idea for first time players to run through as a knight or mage. FromSoftware’s Soulsborne franchise is known for its brutal difficulty, and while easier than its successors, Demon’s Souls is no different in that regard. Trying to build something like an archer early on can cripple a playthrough altogether. At the same time, Demon’s Souls offers several concessions to make the game easier....

Ubisoft announces new mobile game Tom Clancy’s Elite Squad at E3 2019. Elite Squad was just one of the many Tom Clancy game announcements that Ubisoft made in its press conference, as the company also showed off a new trailer for Ghost Recon Breakpoint and revealed new content for The Division 2. Tom Clancy’s Elite Squad is described as a military RPG that will star heroes and villains from several Tom Clancy game series....

Today we’re counting down the top 10 which are guaranteed to reel you in, get you hooked, and keep you playing right up to the final scene!...

Canceled Nintendo projects have been coming out of the woodwork recently, and the latest involves a spin-off of a popular god simulation. Black & White Creatures never made it to the shelves to continue the success of its predecessor, but now we have our first look at what never came to be. 2001 brought EA and developer Lionhead Studios together to work on the simulation game, Black & White. The title’s premise was highly original, offering you the chance to play as a god and stop your rival Nemesis from taking over the world – like a classic megalomaniac....

In a recent interview, Half-Life: Alyx developers, Robin Walker and Chris Remo, emphasized how much fun the team at Valve had in creating the game. They went on to explain that the developer would love to tackle more games in the Half-Life universe, and that hopefully it’ll happen “a lot sooner than last time.” If you’re somehow unfamiliar, the most recent installment in the Half-Life franchise hit shelves over 15 years ago, and fans have been itching for a new game ever since....

There’s no doubt that virtual reality can be a lot of fun, but putting on a headset and effectively transporting that person to an entirely different area does come with some potential risks. For example, moving around too much while unable to see one’s environment could allow for injuries, like tripping and falling. An injury is exactly what happened when Twitter user ashleycacioppo lent what appears to be an Oculus Quest to her father....

WandaVision episode 6 “All-New Halloween Spooktacular!” finds Wanda Maximoff accelerating the situation in Westview quite a bit. The children are all allowed out of their homes for a Halloween celebration and the very boundaries of the town are expanded. Fittingly for such an episode, the show’s sitcom homages experience quite a bump as well. After honoring Family Ties, Full House, and other ‘80s and early ‘90s TV comedies in episode 5, this installment speeds ahead to the more experimental 2000s....

This article contains WANDAVISION Episode 3 spoilers, and potential spoilers for future episodes, the wider MCU, and Marvel Comics. I don’t think I’m overstepping when I say that WandaVision is a weird show. It’s intentionally cryptic and there’s a lot going on. It focuses on two characters who have been in several Marvel movies but never truly got the spotlight. Even their romantic relationship in those movies has come off as forced to viewers at times....

QuakeCon is making for some really cheap Bethesda games right now on GOG and Xbox. QuakeCon recently announced that it was canceling its in-person event to be held in Dallas, Texas because doing so would likely result in the death of a significant percentage of con-goers. Plus, Texas has banned gatherings of 10 or more people, so that sort of put the kibosh on the whole endeavor. So instead, QuakeCon is moving online just like every other gaming convention this year....

Recent game announcements have revealed that many video game developers are beginning to listen to the wishes and demands of their fans. Games like Final Fantasy 7 and Resident Evil 2 are finally receiving full-fledged remakes, and Nintendo has polled Super Smash Bros. players to find out what DLC character they should add next. Fans of the original real-time strategy Warcraft games haven’t been satisfied by World of Warcraft, and Blizzard has previously declared the MMO as the direction the series would be going in from now on....

Corpus Liches have finally arrived with Warframe’s Sisters of Parvos update. By using the same Requiem system that Kuva Liches use, players can either kill or convert these Corpus Liches (known as “Sisters”) to obtain new weapons and companions. Just like the Kuva Lich weapons, these Tenet weapons are extremely powerful and come with an added elemental damage effect—known as a progenitor bonus. Unlike Kuva weapons, a few of these Tenet weapons don’t come from Liches....

A couple was robbed by armed burglars while playing Warzone, and the entire thing was streamed live on Twitch. The world is so full of cameras, you never know when you might be being filmed. Most of the time that’s because you haven’t noticed a CCTV camera in the vicinity. However, for a group of armed burglars in Centurion, South Africa, it’s because they made the mistake of busting into a house in which a live stream was taking place and they didn’t even notice....

You can turn Resident Evil 3 into a classic cabinet blaster game with this motion-controlled gun. Resident Evil 3 is good, but you know what’s better? Resident Evil 3 in VR. If Valve can do it with Half-Life: Alyx can do it, so can Capcom, right? Well, maybe not. But if you’re not willing to wait for Capcom to VR-ify RE3, you can pick up the Arkade Blaster for the next best thing....
