The NES wasn’t just home to many great games – it launched some of the most successful franchises we know today. Beyond simply being enjoyable, these games introduced innovative ideas, both big and small, that shaped the video game industry as it exists now. As the leader of the third generation of consoles, the NES paved the way with its groundbreaking titles.
To mark its eighth anniversary, the developers of Kingdom Come: Deliverance have released an upgrade for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S. This allows players on those consoles to enjoy the game with improved performance and graphics, no longer needing to play the older version through backwards compatibility.
Details about the upcoming Pokémon games have appeared online, showing technical footage and design plans. Because this information wasn’t official, it was unclear if it was accurate until confirmed by the Pokémon Company.
So, I jumped into Worth Your Salt, and honestly, the ending is a mess. It seems like there’s a real bug stopping you from finishing, or maybe the developers just missed something big. Either way, I was super frustrated – I’d spent ages on this quest, only to hit a wall and not be able to actually complete it. A lot of other players are feeling the same way, and we’re all pretty annoyed we wasted our time.
Even though ARC Raiders remains popular, players are constantly looking for new games to enjoy. That’s where Marathon steps in – a fresh extraction shooter developed by Bungie, the team behind Destiny 2 and Halo. This new title, Bungie’s first in nearly a decade, feels truly different, and I predict it will quickly become a leading online shooter.
Watching the development retrospective was seriously moving. They showed everything – like, everything – from the very first, rough version of Sprout Valley (which they called a prototype back then) to how the mines first started taking shape. And get this – they even showed off some cool stuff they cut from the game, like a whole goblin village they were planning to build underground! It was fascinating to see how much work went into it, and what could have been.
That’s why fans were so excited in 2010 when a beat ’em up game was released alongside Edgar Wright’s film. Back then, it was common for movies and games to be launched together for promotion. Turning a comic book filled with video game references into a playable game was a brilliant idea, and it’s no surprise it was so popular.
In Japan, the difference between what we now call Legendary and Mythical Pokémon has always been recognized, meaning these Pokémon have always been considered Mythical there. However, the term “Mythical Pokémon” wasn’t used in Western releases until the fifth generation of the Pokémon games. It was the Pokémon Ranger: Guardian Signs game that officially separated Mythical Pokémon from Legendary Pokémon in how Western media talked about them. Understanding this difference is key to understanding Celebi’s role in Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen.
The first decade of the 2000s was a fantastic time for first-person shooter (FPS) games. Many popular and critically acclaimed titles were released, including both sequels to established franchises and entirely new series that quickly became hits. Each year brought a new standout FPS game.
Okay, so unlike older Resident Evil games where you pick a character and stick with them, in Resident Evil Requiem the game actually switches between controlling Grace and Leon throughout the story. There are sections where I was just playing as Grace, and then long stretches where I was controlling Leon. I thought having two main characters would make the game super long, but honestly, it ended up being about the same length as other Resident Evil titles.
