Eric Powell, call me, yeah?! I’m not a fan of “The Capes” when it comes to comic books, but I understand why they’re such an easy fit for video games. Superheroes are proactive investigators and brawlers with adventures based solely around their exploits. Their worlds are ready made, their rogues galleries are fully fleshed out, and their main goal is to excite the audience with thrills and spills. So, for years it was pretty disheartening to know the comics I adored couldn’t get a foothold in the gaming industry, despite having the potential....

‘Ooh, baby, I’m a wild one…’ The Wild Eightsounds great on paper: an eight-player co-op survival game with narrative-based progression, set against a bleak yet entirely natural landscape. Even in a fairly oversaturated market, it has the potential to set itself apart from the pack. But much like its shabby group of survivors, it has a long way to go before it makes its way out of the development woods and into the loving arms of the public....

Designer Jonathan Blow haswalked us throughthe update coming to the intricate island puzzle game later this month, and the way the team is handling Pro support makes a lot of sense....

It would be a cool mod There was a time where nearly every PC FPS had some form of aGoldenEyetype mod, or some effort was made to create it. BeforeHaloswept the nation and gave us MLG,GoldenEye 64was the gateway drug into the FPS genre for folks who didn’t play on PC, augmented by an amazing four-player mode. YouTuber Noilleber decided to create a mashup onOverwatch‘s Dorado, which, now that I think about it, looks like a level that could have came from a retro shooter....

It can be very annoying feeling as if you’re out of the loop when friends (or strangers online) referencea specific animeyou haven’t seen. Especially when the series in question flew under your radar when it first aired, and now you’re so far behind it feels like a slog catching up. In one such instance, we have the main character of an anime uttering three words that spark a reaction both on and off screen: “I am Atomic....

Sci-fi fantasy, also known as science fantasy, is quite a niche genre when it comes to books, yet one that works so well. Why there are so few sci-fi fantasy crossovers is beyond me, but here are some of the best books in that category. The best of science fantasy Reading the words together makes sense, but actually breaking down what the genre requires is a different matter. Science fiction must have at least some basis in scientific theory or fact to be classed in the genre, moving from thestrict hard sci-fi to the soft....

Once you go black… My blue 3DS XL looks like sh*t. It has scratches and gouges on the top, back and all sides. The inside is fine (yay for clamshell designs), but the rest looks like I get in regular car wrecks or fight with zoo cats or something. I wish Nintendo would have kept the lovely metallic gloss colors of the standard 3DS for the XL systems. They hold up better, I think....

Updated: June 19, 2025 Added a new code! Roblox is crawling with dungeon crawlers (no pun intended) that, in most cases, follow the same tried-and-true melee combat mechanics. They’re also lacking in content, minus a few exceptions, and the repetitive gameplay becomes stale rather quickly.Bullet Dungeoncombines FPS and dungeon-crawling elements to give the formula a much-needed revamp! Like most games, this one can also turn into a grind fest early on—that is, if you don’t redeemBullet Dungeoncodes to speed up your progress....

Just a few days ago, the indie horror scene took major note ofContent Warning, a co-op game about filming you and your friends doing scary things. I have yet to play it, but it seems to combine the visual aesthetic ofLethal Companywith the team-based paranormal antics of something likePhasmophobia. Anyone who’s been reading my articles lately will know thatI’m a bit fond ofPhasmophobia, so this should be right up my alley....
