Apparently, fast food and gaming toys go together like peanut butter and jelly. It just seems to work and kids of all ages love nothing more than getting a little something special with their meals. Last month, we saw McDonald’s and The Pokemon Company teaming up for another collaboration that included a Pokemon-related toy and

I enjoyed Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon. It was in many ways derivative, but it also modernized (and occasionally watered down) the classic Castlevania III formula with style and polish. Its sequel, Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon 2, takes some of the criticisms that the first game received to heart. It takes risks. Some of them
Recently, we took a look at all of the video game heroes who make their living in hallowed halls of the action-adventure genre. After analyzing each of them (very scientifically, we might add) we put together an amalgamation of their body parts to build the greatest action-adventure hero. Like a modern-day Dr. Frankenstein, we built

In the interview, host
Genesis 7, a Super Smash Bros. tournament known for its immense draw and legendary sets, had one more trick up its sleeve this year. Rivals of Aether, a Smash-like title for PC, revealed it would be heading to Switch this Summer at the tournament. The reveal was aired on-screen after the game’s own tournament had ended, capping off
It is no real secret that I love Shovel Knight. I’ve bought five copies just for myself and three more as gifts.

As soon as I got the green light from the Editorial Team here at DualShockers that I’d be one of the staff writers going to and covering PAX East 2019, there was only one studio that I had to see while I was there—Yacht Club Games. I simply love Shovel Knight and each free expansion

Blade Strangers is a weird anomaly amongst other fighting game titans like Dragon Ball FighterZ, Tekken 7, and Street Fighter V.

It’s been a while since we’ve run a piece on YouTuber Man at Arms — the Baltimore-based blacksmith that delves into non-conventional guerilla advertising by recreating video game weapons. In the past, this has ranged to MOBA League of Legends’ Nameless Blade to Geralt’s double-sword combination in The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. Now they are taking something a little
