Games

Some Naruto games recreate the anime’s most exciting fights with stunning visuals, while others let you immerse yourself in the world by exploring, completing quests, and getting to know the characters. When done well, this balance creates a truly captivating experience. It’s this balance – between action and exploration – that distinguishes a good Naruto game from a truly unforgettable one. The most beloved games consistently deliver high quality and avoid feeling either hurried or monotonous.

Take-Two Interactive, the company behind games like GTA 6 and Borderlands 4, has had a complex stance on artificial intelligence. While CEO Strauss Zelnick has assured investors the company is embracing generative AI, he’s also voiced concerns about its use in game development. Despite having an AI team in place since at least early 2025, the future of that team is now unclear.

Bungie, known for its decade of experience supporting the Destiny games, seems to be using those lessons to improve Marathon. They’ve been quick to respond to player feedback and make changes based on what the community wants. For instance, they adjusted the schedule for Ranked and Cryo Archive so players could enjoy both modes each week without having to choose. Previously, both were available only on weekends, but now Ranked appears earlier in the week, followed by Cryo Archive. Beyond these quick fixes, Bungie is also planning a larger update later this month.

The recent update for Tomb Raider 1-3 Remastered caused some issues with music, subtitles, and introduced AI skins, but a follow-up update on March 31 fixed many of these problems. This timing was fortunate, especially with the game now available on PS Plus Essential, making it a good value for subscribers. However, the real issue isn’t the game’s quality – it’s that these remasters contradict Sony’s previous statements about PS4 games on PS Plus.

Lots of popular shows are being remade, and there are several great anime series that could also benefit from a fresh start. In fact, some are already in the works – for example, a new version of One Piece is coming soon.

With rumors suggesting Pokemon Ruby and Sapphire will come to Switch, it’s likely they’ll be simple ports, similar to FireRed and LeafGreen. The recent Kanto remakes on Switch had minimal changes – mostly bug fixes, and didn’t even address all the original glitches, like mail duplication or issues with Legendary Pokemon. Because of this straightforward approach to remaking older games, it’s fairly easy to predict which starter Pokemon will be the best choice in the Switch version of Pokemon Ruby and Sapphire.

After over a year of speculation, the remake of Persona 4 was officially revealed at the Xbox Games Showcase in early June 2025. The short announcement trailer featured real-time gameplay footage of the town of Inaba, showing the main character, Yu, running through familiar areas. The trailer confirmed the game will be available on Xbox Game Pass from day one. Since the announcement, Sega and Atlus haven’t shared many more details about the project.

Ultra Ego was a fantastic addition to the Dragon Ball series because it allowed characters to grow in unique ways, focusing on their individual strengths instead of giving everyone the same transformation. Even with its incredible power, though, there are still some opponents Vegeta, in his Ultra Ego form, would likely struggle to defeat.

Man, I’ve been playing Resident Evil since the really blocky first game, and it’s always managed to scare me. From the original’s simple spooks to the intense first-person horror of Requiem, it’s just consistently creepy. Everyone knows zombies are scary, but I wanted to think about the moments that really stuck with me – the huge, terrifying monsters, and those situations that just messed with your head. This is my rundown of the most chilling stuff the series has thrown at us.

I usually play open-world games for the experience of exploring the world itself, with the story being secondary. However, the story in Crimson Desert is anything but secondary – it’s surprisingly complex. It took me a long time to realize it was essentially a revenge story, and it feels like the story was added just to have one. It’s disjointed, doesn’t quite pull all its ideas together, and sometimes feels confused. Despite all this, I – and many other fans – are willing to overlook the narrative flaws because the world design in Crimson Desert is so outstanding.
