Back in 2005, Clubhouse Games by Agenda launched exclusively for the Nintendo DS, or as I knew it in Europe, 42 All-Time Classics. The game featured a bunch of card, board, and parlor games, teaching me the rules of blackjack, passing the time with a balancing game, and owning online players in billiards. It’s 2020,

Last year, Samurai Shodown took me by surprise. I previewed SNK’s fighter at PAX, it instantly had its grip on me. It is one of the most approachable fighting games I have ever played, and that sentiment still rings true. It’s just so brilliant, with an awesome art style, and unique gameplay unlike anything else
Cris Tales is a game of what is, was, and could be. The time-bending turn-based RPG, developed by the Colombia-based Dreams Uncorporated and SYCK, under indie publisher Modus Games, wears its JRPG and cultural inspirations on its sleeve while bringing on a unique hook of keeping its world’s past, present, and potential future always in
The Global, Final Closed Beta Test for open-world RPG Genshin Impact is scheduled to start this July. Registrations are open on the game’s official site until 19 June 12:00 (GMT+8). If you wish to heighten your chances to be selected, we have exactly what you need. Thanks to Genshin Impact developer miHoYo, DualShockers brings you
Desperados 3 is a stealth tactics game featuring a memorable cast of Wild West characters. It’s also an oddly titled prequel to a series that started in 2001. It’s also an example of how effective “less-is-more” storytelling can be, even in a genre that usually puts the narrative on the backburner. Most importantly, Desperados 3
In 2020, there’s a lot on the mind of the average gamer — through a global health crisis and mass civic unrest, many games and high-level publishers are delaying their games to both respect the moment, account for changes in the work environment, and realize all possible press potential. In a way, it’s almost the
I started playing the Fallout games about a decade ago. My first experience with the series was playing Fallout 3 when I was 14. I got the game through Gamefly, and admittedly, I sent it back pretty quick – the feral ghouls got me spooked. But eventually, I revisited the game, realized ghouls were easy
Disintegration is the latest project from Marcus Lehto, creative director of Halo: Reach, since leaving Bungie. In creating his own studio with V1 Interactive, there were some relatively high expectations with him being one of the creators of the iconic Halo franchise. Despite past successes, however, Disintegration falls flat with a disjointed and bland narrative, stereotypical character personalities,
The future of Destiny 2 was revealed in all its glory today. The team at Bungie pulled back the curtain on their new Beyond Light expansion, while also giving fans tons of details about the future of the game. If you’re looking for more info about everything discussed today, be sure to give our “Everything
Today, Destiny 2‘s general manager and game director, Mark Noseworthy and Luke Smith respectively, sat down to discuss the future of Bungie’s popular loot shooter. During the livestream, not only did they reveal a new expansion and season, they announced some really exciting content for this brand new era of Destiny content. Here is everything
With what’s been happening in the past and especially in light of current events, it’s important to reflect on the video games that have centered or been inclusive of black characters, as well as games led by black developers. Representation has been an ongoing conversation in video games (and other forms of media), and the
The Outer Worlds from Obsidian was one of 2019’s best games. It appeared on many Game of the Year lists and we here at DualShockers bestowed upon it a review score of 9.5/10. Unfortunately for me, it was one of those games that got caught up in my constantly growing list of games that I
The Indie Live Expo 2020 live stream event was held on June 6, revealing a plethora of info on Doujin games and Japanese indie games. Here’s a list of all the announcements made during the stream. Azure Striker Gunvolt 2 Launches June 22, 2020, on Steam From mountains high to valleys low… From cities big
Borderlands was one of the best new IPs to come out of the last generation of consoles and continues to have great stride with its latest entry Borderlands 3. Throughout this generation, we have seen all previous titles in the franchise get the remaster treatment including 4K HDR updates for Borderlands: The Handsome Collection. The
All the way back in 2011, Ken Levine, the creative director of what was then Irrational Games, announced that a new installment in the BioShock series was being planned for Sony’s PlayStation Vita platform. At the time, much wasn’t known about the project, but the thought of seeing the critically-acclaimed shooter franchise come to a
We’re about halfway through 2020 and a lot of great games have come out, with much more coming along the way like Cyberpunk 2077 and Ghost of Tsushima, but there are many titles that don’t have a massive budget that will be releasing later this year that deserve a spotlight to be shined upon them;
When granted the opportunity to have a 1-on-1 interview with Joe Kucan, I excitedly leapt at the chance. Joe is instantly recognizable to someone who grew up playing the Command and Conquer games, like yours truly. He’s the actor responsible for portraying the series’ iconic antagonist Kane, the leader and messianic figure of the Brotherhood
Before we begin, it’s important to make clear that I do not care about nor understand professional cycling. I have, quite literally, never watched a race in my life and am the last person you should be coming to if you’re looking for a review for Pro Cycling Manager 2020. Or any cycling game, for
The Mafia series tries to perfectly encapsulate the power of working outside the law and having no rules apply to you. It deals with the upsides and downsides of this bygone line of work. But one of the core tenets of any Mafia-inspired piece of media (see The Godfather, The Sopranos) is a lack of
Featured image credit: Tyler Tomasello/Zuma/Rex/Shutterstock via The Guardian. How can I possibly write about video games right now? It’s a question I’ve been asking myself for a while now. With the world seemingly burning down around me, writing about video games seems like the least important thing in the world. And, to be fair, even
Ubisoft Nadeo‘s Trackmania (releasing on July 1 for PC) is a remake of Trackmania Nations, which first launched in 2006 as a freeware title. The franchise itself, which has been around since 2003, is a niche one that doesn’t see much publicity from Ubisoft, yet has a dedicated fanbase. This time around Trackmania will be
I first played Mafia 2 either in 2010 or 2011, the year it originally came out or the year after. After hearing about the game again this year, in the context of a grand remaster, I was excited. I’m not entirely sure why though. It may have been a combination of setting the nostalgia vision
WayForward is back with a brand new adventure starring our favorite demi-genie, Shantae, as she gets caught up in a nefarious scheme. In Shantae and the Seven Sirens, Shantae’s vacation at a beautiful resort island is cut short when several of her fellow half-genies are kidnapped. Players guide her as she explores both the island
Thus far, these lists have been relatively easy to put together. After all, whether you’re platforming in 2D or 3D, you’re still jumping around. Action-adventure is a little murkier, but even there, you basically know what you’re getting yourself into. However, when trying to build the ultimate sports game star, we ran into some obvious
Mortal Kombat 11 is not just one of my favorite fighting games ever made; it is one of my favorite games of the current console generation. It feels incredibly balanced, has a rock-solid cast of characters, a fun story, and a ton of content for players to enjoy. It is a game I keep coming
Another week, another video where Video Manager Mario Rivera and I (News Editor Michael Ruiz) talk about something in the wide world of video games. This week we talk about the newest Predator: Hunting Grounds DLC and the Mortal Kombat 11: Aftermath expansion. Our discussion begins with the Predator: Hunting Grounds DLC which adds Dutch
With just under a month until the game’s release, anticipation is continuing to build for The Last of Us Part II. While the game experienced some unexpected circumstances in the past few months from a delay to some devastating story leaks, few would deny that The Last of Us Part II is a game that many are
While time has felt a little slower these days due to the pandemic, somehow we’ve come to the point where two major gaming classics have hit big milestones. This week saw not just one, but two major anniversaries for some of the most acclaimed open-world games of all time, Red Dead Redemption and The Witcher 3: Wild
If you’ve been remotely interested in video games in the past 10 years, you know of Minecraft. Its immense popularity has spawned games with interesting gameplay takes outside its traditional style. The newest spin, Minecraft Dungeons, is a fun interpretation of the dungeon crawling genre within Mojang’s blocky world and it is definitely worth your
The notion that sharks gobble up hundreds or thousands of people around the globe each year has been overblown ever since Jaws released back in 1975. Millions of people worldwide deal with the shark-induced fear that comes from dipping your toes into the ocean purely because of how media has portrayed the sea-faring creatures over the
