As gamers are bombarded with existing franchise installments year after year, one author reflects on how important it is for companies to pace their annual releases. Anytime I think about the gaming industry, I’m forced to look at what it was like when it first peaked my interest. Mascot-centric platformers littered the landscape, that much is true, but there was something different about each and every one of them. It was truly an era of trial and error, with many casualties along the way....

Then, when G4TV officially comes back, it will run four all-new D&D campaign series. D&D Live is the yearly celebration of the world’s most iconic tabletop RPG....

One of the biggest gaming franchises of the 2000s, Gears of War took over the first-person shooter scene in 2006 and continues as a mainstay to this day. One of the defining features of the game is its creative and brutal list of weapons, accompanied by the gruesome animations that lead up to an oh so satisfying victory. The impressive part about it is the staying power, with most of the weapons list being improved upon every title....

In 2015, The Coalition released Gears of War: Ultimate Edition, a remaster of the original Gears of War game with improved visuals and other new bells and whistles.

The popular kaiju genre is in the news once again thanks to Godzilla: King of the Monsters, which promises to be the biggest, boldest, and most amazing Godzilla film yet (which is certainly saying something). Luckily, the kaiju genre hasn’t been limited to movies and comic books - there are numerous kaiju video games out there, many of them of surprisingly high quality. And some, of course, are…not so good. Luckily, we’re here to tell you which kaiju video games are worth playing, and which are worth skipping entirely....

2018’s Among Us has to be one of the most unlikely hits in recent gaming history. That social deduction multiplayer title didn’t start strong, but it eventually became a best-seller that has made quite a cultural impact. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez famously played it on Twitch to a record audience, and Among Us was even recently featured in Glass Onion.

Like so many other aspects of Gotham Knights, though, the game’s co-op multiplayer mode is hindered by some questionable design decisions that will limit how many people actually get to enjoy that feature....

In Season 3, FIFA 21 Ultimate Team players had several featured silver challenges and FUT gamers should expect more silver and bronze challenges in the future. Most FUT clubs do not have a silver squad to complete the various season and milestone objectives. For casual players, it can be difficult to put together a competent silver squad because of the high demand during seasonal objectives. Players should invest in competent lower-ranked players now to avoid having to pay hundreds of thousands of coins for a silver team....

When something is old and still loved, the fanbase tends to take things less seriously. With time, even the problems of a game and its issues become part of something that is widely accepted by a dedicated community. This is the case for one of the most acclaimed JRPGs of all time, Final Fantasy 7.

A former Call of Duty developer from Sledgehammer Games has suggested that not enough people realize the amount of work that goes into making a Call of Duty game. Sledgehammer Games’ former General Manager Glen Schofield has detailed the amount of work that goes into making each Call of Duty game in an effort to challenge the perception that the series is put “through the grinder.” According to Schofield, each entry in the series requires a vast amount of research before development can even begin:...
