Friday The 13Th Game May Support Cross Platform Play

With only a few days left before Friday the 13th: The Game is finally released, players are undoubtedly deciding whether PlayStation 4, Xbox One, or PC will be their platform of choice. While single-player may be out of the question, fans may not need to worry so much about platform choice for multiplayer because the developer, Gun Media, has confirmed that cross-platform play is currently in the works. While it may seem like game is lacking a few features at the moment given that cross-platform play is seemingly up in the air, as well as the lack of a Friday the 13th: The Game single-player mode until the Summer, the multiplayer mode is fleshed out enough that fans won’t get bored for some time yet....

Gambit 2 0 Is The Best Part Of Destiny 2 Beyond Light

Despite some bellyaching about gear sunsetting and some genuinely terrible bugs (RIP Trials and Witherhoard) Beyond Light is off to an incredibly strong start. Destiny 2 has the best new player experience it has ever had, the new patrol zones Europa and The Cosmodrome are fantastic, and in just one day we’ll get to finally meet Crow and start working on the season content. There are many awesome things about Beyond Light, but I think my favorite thing to come out of this new expansion has got to be the new and improved Gambit....

Ghost Of Tsushima 5 Times Lord Shimura Was A Hero 5 He Was Wrong

Lord Shimura is the tritagonist in Ghost of Tsushima. He’s the figure the main hero has to fight at the climax of the story, but he’s not necessarily the main villain of the story. In fact, he’s not the villain at all. He just has these codes and moral standings that contradict that of the main character, which ultimately become the cause of their divide. Lord Shimura is not a perfect man....

Google Takes Down Swing Copters Clones But Will This Change Anything

Early last week, indie mobile developer Dong Nguyen made good on his promise to release a new game to the masses. And unlike Flappy Birds Family, this game was available on every digital storefront. Dubbed Swing Copters, this new game borrows heavily from Flappy Bird’s lead and features a cutesy helicopter guy trying to navigate a series of pathways. However, instead of constantly tapping the screen to keep/gain momentum like in Flappy Bird, a tap of the screen changes the lateral movement of the copter....

Gr Pick Skyfall Train Sequence Recreated In Grand Theft Auto 5

In the late 19th century Oscar Wilde wrote, “Life imitates art far more than art imitates life.” He was right, but what he could not have expected was that art would become so cyclical that eventually it would imitate itself. Case in point: the above video, which features a recreation of the thrilling train sequence from Skyfall done up using Grand Theft Auto 5. It’s an impressive demonstration, to say the least, and one that we imagine took a lot of patience and timing to get right....

Fifa Ranking Every Game From Worst To Best

After many years of watching European football on television, I’d like to think I know a little bit about what makes for a good simulation of the ‘beautiful game’. Soccer fans from all over the world are able to re-live their favorite team’s best moments, both on the club and international levels, and duke it out online against teams from different continents. However, not every football game is created equal. Something I know all too well after more than a decade playing EA’s FIFA and Konami’s PES/Winning Eleven games....

Fans can expect FIFA 19 to release within its usual post-summer window slot of September 28, 2018 for PC and all consoles, though the Nintendo Switch edition likely won’t feature support for the Frostbyte engine that powers the game on other devices....

Final Fantasy 15 Cinematic Trailer Sets Up The Story

As if it needed to be said, Final Fantasy 15 is one of the most highly anticipated titles to come from Square Enix in quite some time.

However, it’s regrettable to note that not much about the game has been revealed since then aside from its confirmation for PS4 and Xbox One at Sony’s E3 2013 press conference a while back....

Final Fantasy 15 Release Date Will Be Announced In March At Square Enix Event

Many of the entries to the Final Fantasy series have kept fans anxiously awaiting their release, but none have pushed their release back quite as far as Final Fantasy XV. Originally announced in 2006 as a spin-off of Final Fantasy XIII, the game evolved from there to become its own standalone title. However, while nearly ten years have passed since that announcement, the game still remains in development hell. Square Enix finally began to get the ball rolling earlier this year with the Final Fantasy XV Episode Duscae demo, but they also refrained from revealing anything to do with the game at E3 2015....
