The beauty of picking up a Fire Emblem game is that most of them can be started regardless if the player plays the very first one, or the more recent ones. There are exceptions if the game in question is a sequel or midquel to an existing one story-wise. But if one question can be answered for someone who wants to get into the series, which game is the best to start with?...

The new (and first) teaser trailer for Cyberpunk 2077 may be light on game details in its CGI sheen, but it compensates with powerful imagery: brutal public massacres; a terrorizing police force; a towering metropolis burdened by social upheaval; bullets crumpling and fragmenting at the touch of skin, the line between human and cybernetic demonstrably shattered. It was released today by developer CD Projekt Red as a glimpse into what we can expect from the futuristic sci-fi RPG based on the Cyberpunk series of pen-and-paper games from Mike Pondsmith....
This article is sponsored by Flowers for the Sea is a bewitching tale that engrosses for the entirety of its 112 pages. Trapped on a deteriorating ark, afloat in a treacherous and endless sea, Iraxi is the inadvertent hope for the vestiges of humanity who managed to survive the flooding of their kingdom, and the slow decay of their floating salvation. Without revealing too much about the plot: Iraxi is pregnant, and the child she carries would be the first born in a long time, but she does not want it....
Today’s Thursday, which means a new set of weekly challenges have gone live for Fortnite players. This week involves players trick-or-treating with doorbells, finding shooting galleries, and even dancing. The latter isn’t that surprising in light of the Disco Domination LTM that involves players dancing to control a dance floor. Nevertheless, this challenge has players dancing at various locations across the map. For veteran Fortnite players, it’s likely they already know where these locations are....
Following a delay earlier this week, the video game developer Epic Games officially unveiled the Season 5 Week 9 challenges for its wildly successful free-to-play multiplayer survival shooter, Fortnite Battle Royale. One of the challenges tasks players with earning 150,000 points by doing tricks with the game’s modes of transportation, the Shopping Cart and All-Terrain Kart (ATK). While some may be adept with their vehicle handling skills, others might need a little help, so follow along to learn how to pull off stunts and earn some points....
This week’s Legendary Quest in Fortnite instructs players to hit an opponent within 10 seconds of Zero Point Dashing, and it may appear to be quite difficult to complete upon first glance. That said, there is a tactic that fans can use to make this challenge extremely easy, and those that employ it should finish the task in no time at all. Detailing the tactic is the precise purpose of this guide, and Fortnite players will find all of the information that they need in what follows....
After nearly two years of being vaulted, planes are once again available in Fortnite, and many players will undoubtedly want to take one for a spin as soon as they can. Before fans can go airborne, though, they will first need to find a plane that they can use, and the way that is done may not be immediately obvious. Fortunately, there are number of places where planes can spawn in Fortnite Season 5, and this guide will detail all of them....
While speculation of an upcoming meteor strike has been sending fans into waves of discussion, Epic Games has been silently updating Fortnite with brand new skins, cosmetics, and various items, including new weapons and tools, and this week a new Vending Machine item will be added to the game. Today, Epic Games revealed on Fortnite Battle Royale’s Message of the Day a vending machine is coming to the game this week, confirming theories that players can trade spare materials such as metal, wood, and bricks for gear....
Fortnite is a hugely popular game among younger players especially. Last month, it was announced that a 13-year old Fortnite player has been recruited by a professional esports team, highlighting just how seriously many children take the game. But one UK politician has concerns about children’s time spending Fortnite and other games, even suggesting that they could have a negative impact. After parents had raised concerns regarding how much time their children spend playing Fortnite, Culture Secretary Matt Hancock MP suggested that “Too much screen time could have a damaging impact on our children’s lives” and that “Whether it’s social media or video games, children should enjoy them safely and as part of a lifestyle that includes exercise and socialising in the real world....
Back in October, Epic Games began testing a brand new Fortnite feature called Support-A-Creator. This feature would allow players to support creators of content related to the title (Twitch streamers, YouTubers, etc.) when they purchase things on the in-game store. While the initial rollout of Support-A-Creator was just a temporary test, Epic Games has now confirmed that the feature is becoming permanent. In a blog post announcing the permanent availability of the feature, Epic confirmed that Fortnite fans had shown an “amazing” response to Support-A-Creator....
A leaker has claimed that the next season of Fortnite will be Marvel-themed, and the island’s resident hero will be Thor. Fortnite’s relationship with Marvel is one that goes back more than two years. Thanos arrived on the island in 2018 to coincide with the release of Avengers: Infinity War. The Mad Titan returned a year later, but on that occasion, a new LTM granted players various weapons from popular Avengers to help fight off Thanos....
With Fortnite Season 6 just a day away, Epic Games is in full promotional mode, having recently revealed a cowgirl skin, Loot Llama DJ, and a big party theme. Now, the game company has seen fit to release another skin coming in Season 6, with this one appearing to be a werewolf. These skins will be part of the game’s Season 6 battle pass, with each of these presumably appearing on the pass early on....
While Microsoft’s latest console may not have a lot of brand new games to its name, it does greatly improve some older titles. One such title is the open-world racer Forza Horizon 4 from Playground Games. It was always one of the prettiest games around, but now that it has been optimized for the Xbox Series X, it might be the best-looking racing game ever. With its buckets of power and solid-state drive (SSD), the Series X has given many developers the opportunity to improve their games....
Game Ranter Banter: Zelda, Spike VGA Problems, Post-Launch Games Support & MGS: Revengeance ‘Twas the week before Christmas, and all through the internet, not a writer was stirring, except for the five people who contributed to the Game Ranter Banter. Okay, so maybe that last part didn’t rhyme, but we’ll make up for it with some awesome opinions on the latest gaming news! This week the Game Rant crew discusses the future of The Legend of Zelda, the Spike Video Game Awards, Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance and how long developers should support their games post-launch....
Final Fantasy 7 Remake has only been confirmed for PS4 since its initial announcement at E3 2015, and we haven’t seen any sign of that changing beyond vague hints that it could only be a timed-exclusive. Until now, that is. GameStop Ireland has posted a listing for an Xbox One version of Final Fantasy 7 Remake, possibly leaking that the long-in-development game will be coming to Microsoft’s console as well as PS4....
“ReleaseGate” continues as a handful of Gamestop stores have released both Assassin’s Creed 2 and Left 4 Dead 2 prior to the official street date. Kotaku reports store employees have confirmed that the pre-release date sales were authorized by Gamestop corporate in response to other stores in the same area in Jersey City. This comes hot on the heels of last week’s Modern Warfare 2 broken street date. The Gamestop stores involved called their preorder customers to tell them their preorder was ready for pick up....
Console generations tend to last about 5 to 7 years. Eventually, technology evolves and gets to the point where developers can no longer produce the kind of games that they want to make on current-gen systems. Thus, the need for fancier, more high tech gaming hardware arrives. That’s why the Playstation has gone through 4 different iterations with its fifth one due to arrive sometime this holiday season. That’s all well and good when the world isn’t in the middle of a near-apocalyptic crisis, but when infectious spores start to create mushroom-headed zombie people it can become difficult to properly coordinate a new console launch....
Gears of War fans got a good idea of what’s to come with Gears 5 thanks to its reveal at E3, and a steady stream of teases from The Coalition. The developer has been rather open about its goals for the game and what players can expect when the title launches next year. That said, it seems the studio isn’t above prompting questions among the franchise’s fan base. Earlier this week, The Coalition revealed the existence of a brand new character in Gears 5....
In the magazine’s latest cover story, Game Informer reveals new details about the characters of Gears of War 4, including the fact that JD is Marcus Fenix’s son. When Microsoft first revealed Gears of War 4 to the world, it did so with very little context in regards to the game’s story and its characters. With the game set to release by the end of the year, that is starting to change, as Game Informer’s latest cover story features a big blowout on all things Gears of War 4, including the identities of the game’s main characters....
