For the past couple of years, we’ve seen Xbox enhancing its first-party studios through acquiring a number of major studios such as Ninja Theory and Bethesda/Zenimax. However, the company has also created what it calls a “AAAA” studio known as The Initiative that has been confirmed to be working on a reboot of Perfect Dark.

Note: The following article contains The Last of Us Part 2 spoilers ahead and topics that some readers may find uncomfortable. In Naughty Dog’s The Last of Us Part 2, the game not only tackles the ways grief can influence you, your actions, and your future, but it also represents the traditional five stages of
As 2020 (thankfully) comes to a close, the DualShockers staff is coming together to share their personal favorite games throughout the year. Unlike our official Game of the Year Awards, each of these lists is mean to reflect which games stood out personally to each of our staff members. Additionally, any game — not just

The time has finally come. Yes, 2020 is nearing its end–thankfully–but there is still a lot worth celebrating even in a literal dumpster fire of a year. Though the games industry faced substantial challenges in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic throughout 2020, this year still stood out as one of the best years yet
Thankfully 2020 is finally starting to wind down, which I think is something all of us are looking forward to heading into 2021. However, there’s still one quarter left to look back at the best games that have come out in the past few months with Game of the Year around the corner. So, once
It’s hard to believe that it’s barely even been a week since Sephiroth was revealed to be the ninth DLC character for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate at The Game Awards. The shocking reveal defied our expectations. More importantly, it assuaged fans’ fears that the last four picks for Fighter Pass #2 would be predictable. Sporting
When I first picked up my controller to play Left 4 Dead 12 years ago on my trusty Xbox 360, I thought that it would be the kind of game that would just tie me over in between playing GTA 4 and Fable 2. Little did I know that it would become one of the
It hasn’t been that long since the release of Cyberpunk 2077, and I’ve already put a day, a full 24 hours of my life into it. I feel like I’ve barely scratched the surface. However, what I’ve uncovered from that scratch is something that doesn’t match the game’s shiny coat. Underneath all the glitz and glam,
You’re not a real gamer unless you are decked out in video game clothing or have gaming collectibles strewn all about your home, right? As such, it’s important to ensure that you have as many gaming-related items as possible to ensure that your gamer license doesn’t get revoked. Collectibles and assorted gaming merchandise can come
The holidays are nearly upon us which means that it’s just about that time to begin scrambling to decide what you should be getting for those closest to you. Luckily, if you have any gamers in your life that you’re looking to hook up with a sweet video game this year, we’ve got you covered.
Gaming is a hobby that can bring about enjoyment at a variety of different price ranges, especially as we head into the holiday season. Picking up an indie title might only cost you around $10, but you can then drop countless hundreds on larger items that can open up the types of games you play.
On December 17 JST, Nihon Falcom announced The Legend of Heroes: Kuro no Kiseki through the Famitsu magazine released that day. (Officially titled Weekly Famitsu Magazine December 31 2020 Issue). The Legend of Heroes: Kuro no Kiseki will launch in 2021 in Japan. No platforms were specified yet but it’s likely the first Japanese release
Nothing is more enjoyable than playing a game that you didn’t expect to be good enough to enter your personal “Best Games of the Year” list. Of course, on the other hand, nothing is harder than persuading other people into playing it. Especially when it’s an indie game with little marketing that’s fighting for attention
As early as 2015, I think it would be fair to say that there is always that one specific indie game that breaks through the AAA barrier both critically and commercially that reaches those who don’t follow every facet of news that comes out every month. For 2015 there was Undertale, in 2018 there was
While 2020 is (finally) almost about to end, this year had a few more big releases in store to cap off an exceptional year for gaming. Namely, CD Projekt Red’s Cyberpunk 2077 is one of the releases that almost everyone has been waiting for, and last week finally brought the massive sci-fi RPG into the
While Nintendo has had some bigger first-party releases this year like Animal Crossing: New Horizons and Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity, it hasn’t turned its eye on indie games coming to the Switch. With the end of the year in sight, Nintendo has given us a peek at what to expect from its indie game lineup heading
Temtem‘s initial reveal about a year ago followed a perfect storm of Game Freak, the Pokemon Company, and Nintendo angering Pokemon fans for a number of reasons. From overanalyzing tree textures to complaining about the exclusion of the National Pokedex in the latest entries in the series, fans were fed up. Temtem, a game that
I have a confession to make: as big of a Tetris fan as I am, I never owned the first Puyo Puyo Tetris. That’s not to say that I’ve never played it though; I never picked it up is because of how big its demo was. In fact, its demo was infamous in the early
Night City of Cyberpunk 2077 is a busy metropolis with many places tucked away from main roads, elegant marketplaces with dildos, crowded plazas with trash, and urban hideaways that seep with sex. It’s a place where you can grab a bite to eat, grab some new clothes, get laid, and more. But there’s a range
As soon as I heard that a game was being made about George Orwell’s allegorical 1945 novel Animal Farm I thought it was an extremely bizarre idea. A novel about an animal society striving for autonomy as it descends into a communist dictatorship isn’t exactly begging for gamification. But now that I’ve gotten to play it,
Early on, I got a chance to preview Dontnod’s latest adventure game Twin Mirror. It certainly set my expectations pretty high for the final release. While I understood some of my issues with the puzzle-solving aspects during the preview most likely wouldn’t be fixed by release, I hoped the story would continue to capture my
Any franchise reaching a 25-year milestone is a big deal in the games industry. As of this year, we can add Team 17’s Worms series of popular tactical action games and its various spinoffs to that list with the release of Worms Rumble. While it’s more of a fast-paced battle royale experience than a traditional
For the first time since its release on the Famicom 30 years ago, Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon and the Blade of Light has been localised in the West. The strategy-RPG was the introduction into the world of Fire Emblem and the birthplace of Marth, who is most notable for his appearance in Super Smash Bros.
As someone that played through Persona 5 Royal over the summer, I’ve continued to miss my time spent with the Phantom Thieves after finally completing the game for the first time. Even compared to past Persona titles, the cast in Persona 5 really grew on me in ways that I didn’t expect, aside from the fact that
Cyberpunk 2077 has been possibly one of the most highly-anticipated video games from CD Projekt Red. A futuristic RPG that has seen delays, reports of transphobia, and crunch culture, as well as the studio also refusing to share information about the game’s accessibility. As a result, disabled players continued to be ignored as they requested
The Game Awards 2020 is happening tomorrow, Thursday, December 10, where not only will we see numerous games win awards in various categories, but we can expect to see plenty of unexpected announcements as well. Last year we saw some great reveals with the Xbox Series X, Hellblade II: Senua’s Saga, and The Wolf Among
With the Holidays around the corner, what better way to celebrate than a massive code giveaway? Thankfully — to celebrate a massive update that is a capstone to This War of Mine: Complete Edition — developer 11 Bit Studios has partnered with us to give out 100 codes for Nintendo Switch. If you somehow haven’t heard of This
Warning: This article contains major story spoilers for Persona 5 Royal and Catherine: Full Body by Atlus. Over the past decade, Atlus has quickly become one of my favorite developers, to the point where several of their titles are some of my favorite games of all time. Persona 5 was my 2017 Game of the
We all know dating is hard, especially when it comes to online dating. Granted, 2020 has proven to be extra challenging in the dating field, which makes Five Dates, the newly-released online dating FMV sim, even more of a relatable experience than it already is. Even more impressive is the fact that the game was made
