Several weeks ago, Santa Monica Studios revealed that Kratos was almost cut from 2018’s God of War. While it is difficult to imagine the game without its iconic hero, a former dev revealed that Kratos wasn’t actually the studio’s first choice as the name of its protagonist. Ex-director Stig Asmussen revealed that the game’s protagonist was initially called Dominus until the marketing team vetoed the name and asked the developers to suggest a new one....

It’s taken a while, but this week saw Sony finally reveal what PlayStation 5 game cases will look like, with a little help from Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales. Now, just one day later, Gearbox has followed suit with the unveiling of the box art for Counterplay Games’ upcoming “looter slasher,” Godfall. The past month has provided more sneak peeks of the game than ever before. After offering closer looks at the Valorplate armor sets that players will don, Gearbox and Counterplay followed up with full-on gameplay trailers highlighting Godfall’s melee-centric combat and vibrant fantasy epic world....

Tifa’s three dress options in the Final Fantasy VII Remake are just bad, dude. While Final Fantasy VII Remake spared no expense when it came to updating its graphics—as Cloud’s sparkling HD pores can testify—it invested far less into its costume design. Namely, they failed in making Tifa’s three dress options for infiltrating Don Corneo’s mansion actually palatable. People have been debating which dress is best since the remake came out, but controversial take?...

In any iteration of FIFA, having a quality free kick taker in the starting line up can make the world of difference to the end result of the match. After all, it only takes on well-placed set piece to turn a draw into a win. However, picking up a player who specialises in dead-ball delivery can sometimes prove tricky, and FIFA 18 will no doubt be a similar story. Thankfully, the game has its fair share of players who can let rip with a killer shot from the edge of the box....

Anyone planning on buying FIFA 22 on a last-gen console will need to fork over an additional $40 if they want it to include a next-gen version of the game. Euro 2020 might now be in the rearview mirror, but there’s still plenty for football fans to sink their teeth into, and for England fans to distract themselves with. Not only the imminent start of the new season but the news surrounding FIFA 22....

One of the more subtly influential games of the modern era is Limbo. This 2D platformer falls under the horror genre with minimalist visuals and sound effects creating an eerie presentation. Games since then have tried to emulate Limbo’s style. One notable puzzle-platformer in recent times is Little Nightmares; like Limbo, Little Nightmares focuses on a child having to solve puzzles and evade terrifying obstacles. Which game is the better experience?...

Final Fantasy 14 is the series’ second foray into the world of MMORPGs and is currently one of the most popular MMOs out there. The game has had three expansions already, with another on the way, and has gifted fans with a myriad of brilliant storylines and characters over the years. One of the characters that Final Fantasy 14 introduced us all to was the antagonist Emet-Selch, also known as Solus zos Galvus, who has gone on to become a firm fan-favorite....

Fans knew that Final Fantasy 15 was getting DLC eventually, but the details have been scarce - until now, as a Square Enix release unveils the return of an iconic villain. Final Fantasy 15 might be one of the best in a franchise that has seen some of the RPG genre’s greatest, but it is also a game that suffers a somewhat scattershot narrative and gameplay experience thanks to its decade in development....

In 2004, the creator of the Final Fantasy series, Hironobu Sakaguchi, formed a new game development studio called Mistwalker. The company is known for RPGs like Blue Dragon and Lost Odyssey, and also the upcoming Apple Arcade title Fantasian, a traditional role-playing game with a nontraditional art style and a score composed by Final Fantasy’s Nobuo Uematsu. First revealed in March 2019 in a sizzle reel of Apple Arcade’s exclusive launch titles, Fantasian ended up being delayed and is now slated for release sometime this year....

Chapter 9 takes place beneath the bright lights of Wall Market and has 5 Side Quests in total. Unlike other chapters though, you’ll only be able to complete three of them in a single playthrough, meaning that you’ll need to replay the chapter multiple times if you’re aiming to unlock the “Best in the Business” trophy. That’s okay though, as multiple playthroughs are also required for those hoping to unlock all nine of the game’s dresses....

Rockstar Games makes wonderfully grand single player games, but when it comes to multiplayer, they’re are not earning the same amount of praise. When Grand Theft Auto V released last year and immediately became a Game of the Year contender, players had to wait a little bit for Grand Theft Auto Online - its multiplayer mode - to release. The idea was to wait for the multiplayer features to be ready before launching it, but when it was ready, it still wasn’t....

For Honor reaches number one in the UK sales charts in its first week of release, beating out the likes of Grand Theft Auto 5 and FIFA 17 to claim the top spot. Ever since For Honor was originally announced back at E3 2015, gamers have been awaiting the release of the multiplayer-focused title. With the game now available, all those who were looking forward to jumping into vicious melee combat now have the chance to do so....

When yesterday’s trailer for the Mortal Kombat movie dropped, I was pleasantly surprised to find that it actually looked decent. “Pleasant” probably isn’t the right word to describe a trailer chock full of so many fatalities, but they’re just so compelling to watch. We saw skulls being shattered, necks being sliced, hearts being punched out of chests, and poor Jax even had his arms frozen and smashed off. In one scene, a door starts to bleed....

One of the oldest genres in video games is adventure. Need proof? The earliest ones didn’t even feature graphics or visuals of any kind and were entirely text-based. From the early days of Zork and its ilk to the modern incarnations from Telltale and others, adventure games have changed a lot and are typically divided into a number of subcategories, but they all have in common a strong focus on story, characters, and puzzles....

While the video game industry can at times seem as far away from a traditional business venture as possible, it does have an ugly side that comes with the billions of dollars of revenue being generated from popular titles like Destiny and Halo. Sometimes, like in the case of Peter Molyneux’s series of failures with 22 Cans, the failures and disappointments that can stem from being a high profile employee in gaming are on display for public consumption throughout the entire process....

The fifth season of Fortnite’s second chapter has officially begun. The map is different, the Marvel crossover has concluded, and the weapon vault has claimed more Fortnite weapons. One thing that remains constant in Fortnite, however, is its challenges. New challenges have been handed out to help players get into the swing of things with the new season and all that it brings. One of these challenges involves interacting with a new element on the map: characters....

[UPDATE: Samsung has clarified that Blevins misspoke when talking about a new map at the event. Instead, the Samsung Fortnite event will feature a new Creative Island] As many know, Fortnite is an ever-evolving adventure in the battle royale genre that frequently changes up the experience by adding new weapons, items, features, and more. One thing that has remained consistent, however, is the inclusion of only one map. This map has changed from season to season, but its has been the only map players can experience....

It’s Thursday once again, which means there are new challenges available in Fortnite, but it’s also an odd week, which means the reward for completing all of the challenges is a hidden battle star. The season 6 week 9 challenges go live today, and most are rather straightforward. Finding the hidden battle star, however, is not. Per usual, the week 9 loading screen contains a hint to the battle star’s location (as seen above), but it is incredibly hard to see, more so than usual....
