Turns out, 2026 is a huge year for video games. Part of this, of course, is because of all the games coming out this year. From Resident Evil: Requiem to Grand Theft Auto: 6, we've got a lot to look forward to. However, there's another thing to consider when looking at the year ahead: the staggering number of series with major anniversaries.It's hard to believe the first Donkey Kong game was released 45 years ago, and I swear I heard my knees crack as I realized that Pokemon is officially 30 years old. Nintendo in particular has a lot to...

There's a good chance that if you've picked up a manga graphic novel, it was a paperback version. After all, they're very affordable, and their pocket-friendly design makes them easy to carry around.

Hytale is a sandbox-meets-RPG that has seen its fair share of development woes. Formed by Hypixel developers, who run one of the most successful Minecraft servers of all time, Hytale formerly had funding from Riot Games who then went on to purchase the studio outright in 2020.

Now, the game is entering early access in what the Hypixel team admits will be laced with "bugs, rough edges, and unbalanced content." As part of Hypixel's dedication to its potential playerbase, it...

Detroit: Become Human launched in 2018 as a refinement of a style of game that Quantic Dream has become known for--an entangled cast of playable characters, detective-like investigations, nail-biting quick-time events, and a seemingly endlessly branching narrative. The most ambitious take on the format yet, Detroit: Become Human follows a rising android rebellion in a near-future setting where household robots have become commonplace.With its focus on narrative decisions and investigative gameplay over action and combat, Detroit feels like a bit of an anomaly amongst modern adventure games--but there are plenty of games like Detroit: Become Human out there to exploreWe’ve...

In war there is no prize for the runner-upIn war there is no prize for the runner-upCall of Duty is a cultural touchpoint in gaming.

Also, there's a completely free event pass that'll allow players to earn free South Park cosmetics by completing quests--yes, you'll actually have to play the game to earn these things.And, of course, there will...
