“There’s swearing in it” Streaming services are all the rage now, with DC providing their own with DC Universe. With a New York Comic-Con panel consisting of figureheads like Geoff Johns, Jim Lee, Patty Hirsch, and others, the company made a case for their service’s original content.

Resident Evil accounts for 50% of best sellers Illustrious developer/publisher Capcomhas updated its Platinum Title list, a chart dedicated to the video games that have sold over one million units. And whileResident Evilcontinues to be Capcom’s longest-running success story, nothing is matching the performance of 2017’sMonster Hunter: World, which remains the company’s best-selling release by a wide margin. Five of the ten best-selling Capcom games of all time areResident Eviltitles, ranging from 1998’sResident Evil 2, which sold 4....

This thing is HUGE! Roccat has always been one of those brands that I’ve been faintly aware of, yet never actually bothered to check out. Compared to bigger brands like Razer and Corsair, Roccat sits in the background, working on its products and not bothering anybody else, like a hermit in the forest whittling wooden spoons. So, I was pleasantly surprised to find out that the Roccat Ryos MK FX is an incredibly robust gaming keyboard....

Speed shifting and Parkour introduced to the Blue Blur’s repertoire I got ridiculously excited when I saw the trailer forSonic Lost World, but if the “Sonic Cycle” has taught us anything, it’s that we should keep our expectations in check lest we disappoint ourselves for the umpteenth time. However, if the gameplay details described bySEGAandIGN’s exclusive previeware any indication, many of Sonic’s past shortcomings have been rectified.

Private battles are just that, and will allow you to select a map, mode, and weapons. The level cap will also be increased, as players can reach level 50 now (from 20), as well as ranks S and S+ (from A+)....

Oh yeah, Smash Travis Strikes Again: No More Heroesjust got a firm release datewhich is both great news and reason to pause. The Switch-exclusive Grasshopper Manufacture game launches on May 23, 2025. But, that’s kind of a small semi-delay, as it was originally set to release sometime toward the tail-end of 2018. Why the slight setback? We had a chance to talk with Goichi “Suda51” Suda at PAX West and he gave us some valuable insight as to the external market forces that made early 2019 a better launch window....

More Dream Friends As expected given that an accurate leak has basically confirmed all upcomingKirby Star AlliesDLC, Nintendo has trolled us with a Kirby-shaped mystery tweet — leading us to believe that maybe a new form of Kirby was in the works. Nope, it was merely the artist Adeleine drawing Kirby, as she does with her life-granting painting abilities. Well played! Folks may remember Adeleine and the trusty fairy Ribbon fromKirby 64: The Crystal Shards....

Team Fancy or Team Costume? The newest Splatfest is on the way, and for the first time ever it will be running in all regions simultaneously. Teaming up with Nintendo’s mobile appMiitomo,Splatoon’slatest eventis trying to decide which is better between fancy parties and costume parties.
