Genshin Impact’s most recent event, Lost Riches, has just come to a close. Players still have until January 22, 2021, however, to buy items from the event including the Mini Seelie pets. The Mini Seelie pets are technically considered gadgets in Genshin Impact, but they can be toggled so that normal gadget items can be used as normal. While they could be used during the Lost Riches event to help find more Iron Coins, this feature has ended alongside the event proper....

As the year winds down, gaming fans everywhere patiently await for The Game Awards, an annual celebration of the year’s most influential games that won’t even let COVID-19 stop it. Fans are also treated to world premieres and first looks at games they can expect to release next year and years to come. Recently, in an interview on Kinda Funny’s We Have Cool Friends podcast, Geoff Keighley, the host of The Game Awards, expressed that a game does not necessarily need to have been released that year to win Game of the Year....

The infamous Beads of Subjugation necklace worn by everyone’s favorite half-demon, InuYasha, in his eponymous anime and manga are getting the real-world treatment with a life-sized replica made with real gemstones. According to AnimeNewsNetwork, the production of the accessory, which makes InuYasha sit like a dog when Kagome tells him, “Sit, boy,” in order to control his rage in the series, is being overseen by none other than series creator Rumiko Takahashi....

Ghost of Tsushima encourages players to choose a play style that best fits them and gives each player the tools to succeed regardless of the path they choose. Players can approach problems honorably like a Samurai or stealthily like the Ghost, or use a mixture of the two. Ghost of Tsushima: Legends introduces the Assassin class, which will likely function more like The Ghost than a typical Samurai. By name alone, players can assume that this character will strike from shadows, using underhanded tactics, and perhaps some Ghost Weapons to win fights against tougher enemies....

After last week’s “State of Play” on Ghost of Tsushima, developer Sucker Punch has clarified a few points that left fans with questions. The trailer showed off different playstyles that the main character, Jin, could utilize to do combat with his foes. These were separated into “Ghost” and “Samurai,” but it seemed like going down one path would bar you from the other. Thankfully, that isn’t the case. Speaking to IGN, Jason Connell (the game’s creative director) said, “There’s definitely important story moments that are more reflective of this change than others....

Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Wildlands has been a major hit for Ubisoft, with the game having the biggest launch of 2017 so far.

The free PvP update for Ghost Recon Wildlands will feature a new game mode called Ghost War, which pits teams of four against each other in team deathmatch-style battles....

A formerly exclusive Pokémon can now be caught in Pokémon Sword & Shield, as Gigantamax Pikachu can be encountered in the Wild Area. Pokémon Sword & Shield have several Gigantamax Pokémon that can only be acquired in very specific ways. Gigantamax Meowth was originally only available to early adopters and had to be downloaded through the Mystery Gift menu. In order to acquire an Eevee or Pikachu with a Gigantamax form, the player needed a save file from one of the Pokémon Let’s Go games, which would allow them to claim a Pokémon based on the version of the game they owned....

Godzilla vs. Kong director Adam Wingard is already in talks about a sequel to continue the MonsterVerse. The next film could be called Son of Kong. After the disappointing results of the franchise’s previous chapter Godzilla: King of the Monsters, many believed Godzilla vs. Kong might be the finale of the MonsterVerse in its current form. However, the latest Kaiju mayhem exceeded expectations and showed the box office may be finally recovering from the pandemic issues....

While some of Google Stadia’s critics might say that it was inevitable, the announcement that Google was shutting down its first-party studios and no longer making its own games for the cloud service was still quite a shock, especially since it only launched near the tail-end of 2019. Now it turns out that not even the people working at those studios were aware of the closures until the general public was informed....

After weeks of rumors and speculation, Google finally pulled the curtain back on its vision for the future of video gaming. Google Stadia is an ambitious platform that does away with the traditional console, allowing players to access triple-A games instantly on virtually any device. While game streaming has been problematic in the past, it’s no longer held back by hardware, as Google Stadia is more powerful than the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One combined....

The Dutch winger is only 21 years of age and EA has given him a special card that can be earned by completing several simple objectives. Van Bergen’s squad foundations reward card has unbelievable statistics for an 84 rated player....

The Final Fantasy series name becomes less accurate each year, as there is nothing final about a series with fifteen mainline entries and a large number of sequels, prequels, and spin-offs. Square Enix has had no problem pimping out the Final Fantasy name to a number of inferior games over the years, to the point where the title of the series has lost a lot of its value. There is a persistent legend that claims that Square Enix owes its entire existence to Final Fantasy as the first game in the series was meant to have saved the company from meeting its fate, but the truth doesn’t quite match the myth....

The world of Hydaelyn within Final Fantasy 14 is home to an estimated 24 million players, exploring the rich storyline of Square Enix’s late-blooming MMO. As Square Enix continues to reveal upcoming patches and content for players to dive into, expanding further on a dramatic and compelling storyline, a seedier side to the world continues to be a thorn in the developer’s side. Real-money trading (colloquially RMT) has reared its head in Final Fantasy 14, artificially inflating economies and making tasks more difficult for actual players versus scripted bots....

It looks like the mobile version of Final Fantasy 15 won’t be so pocket-sized anymore. Final Fantasy 15: Pocket Edition HD is heading to consoles, including the Nintendo Switch. Released earlier this year for mobile devices and Microsoft Windows, Pocket Edition gave Final Fantasy a much more simplified version of the latest numbered entry in the series. This edition streamlined the gameplay for mobile devices and included the complete story for Final Fantasy 15....

Reddit user Soushin grinds for 61 hours at the beginning of Final Fantasy 15, hitting the game’s level 99 level cap before even repairing the car in the second quest. Final Fantasy XV is full of tough challenges for players to conquer, but one player took it upon himself to make his own challenge. Reddit user Soushin, also known as Billy from Super Best Friends, decided to hit the game’s level cap at the very beginning....

Final Fantasy VII (1997) is one of the densest video games on the original PlayStation, and while the RPG classic isn’t as long as its modern modern day successors, FFVII uses its time wisely and packs itself with content. At the end of the day, Final Fantasy VII is the rare game that lives up to the hype, but concept art shows that the legendary RPG almost went in a different direction....

There are a lot of dangerous foes that Cloud and the gang will encounter in Final Fantasy 7 Remake, but the Turks are among the deadliest. They stand out from the rest of Shinra’s goons–and not just because they wear those flashy business suits. The Turks are an elite team that dabbles in everything from recruitment for SOLDIER to black ops. Players will have to face its members along their journey, but their first experience with the group in Final Fantasy 7 Remake will be against the cocky, trash-talking, red-haired Reno....

Did you hold off on getting Final Fantasy VII Remake for a big sale? Well, that big sale has finally arrived. It’s been a minute since the release of Final Fantasy VII Remake, which is more than enough time for everyone to have an opinion. Overall, people liked it. We liked it, as you can see with this shiny 4-out-of-5 graphic that’s at the bottom of Scott’s review. There’s Cloud, Tifa, Aeris, Sephiroth, and a whole bunch of cats....
