Resident Evil games have never been known for their kindness, which makes beating four of the series classic games in a row (in all their myriad configurations and routes) without taking a single hit all the more impressive—and that’s exactly what streamer MattDaRoc did.
It’s been a bad year for anyone who wants to trade in Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon. Since this spring, one hacker has rendered these 3DS games’ Global Trade System nearly unusable, as hacked pokémon they uploaded cause players’ hardware to freeze upon trying to access the GTS.
It’s been a gangbusters year for those at the top of the GameStop pyramid. Revenue is down and stores are closing, but the stock price continues to hover around an unprecedented $200 a share, forging gilded parachutes for its fleeing C-Suite. For many at the bottom, however, it’s been one of the worst in recent…
I almost pulled the plug on Solar Ash before it really began. For the most part, I’m glad I did not.

Next week, Halo Infinite, which has had its free-to-play multiplayer mode playable for some time now, comes to Xbox Game Pass in full. But Microsoft’s games-on-demand service is getting a whole lot more than one deliriously anticipated first-person shooter, as evidenced by a stacked December 2021 lineup. Here’s…

A group of Democrats are introducing the “Stopping Grinch Bots Act,” a proposal with an incredibly stupid name that is aimed at preventing (or at least curtailing) the use of bots to snatch up stocks of goods from online retailers. Something many of you trying to get PS5s and new graphics cards have been struggling…
Twitch is about to roll out a new tool called Suspicious User Detection. This aims to do exactly what it says on the box: try to detect users who are being suspicious. More specifically, those trying to evade existing bans.
Halo Infinite has certainly had an eventful launch. The game released over half a month early, was met with critical acclaim for how damn good it feels, and received massive backlash for its progression system all in the span of a single week.

The game’s latest confounding issue comes in a deluge of high-level farming bots that are stripping the natural world bare and…
Queerness has always existed in the gaming world, even if it hasn’t always been out in the open. But more and more, we’re seeing new and existing gaming communities embrace and even center their queer members. One such community is the vast, rapidly growing subculture around speedrunning, a specialized way to play…
For a game about the undying, Dead Cells is really living up to subject matter. The popular roguelike, first released in 2018 for consoles and PC, is getting even more new content, developer Motion Twin announced via press release today. The expansion announcement comes shortly after announcing a different massive…
The top five played games on Steam are the usual suspects, online multiplayer games, with one unusual exception. As of this writing, Capcom Arcade Stadium is the third most popular game on the Steam charts.
The Ruined King: A League of Legends Story is, like many of Riot’s recent projects, an effort in translation. League of Legends remains one of the biggest games in the world, despite its rampant community toxicity and the tremendous time investment required from most players—but things like The Ruined King and Riot’s …
The most popular MMORPG in the world launches its next big expansion at the end of this week, which means Final Fantasy XIV’s servers are about to get hammered.

If Jeff Bezos and William Shatner can go to space, surely someone can get Hideo Kojima there, too. He would really, really like to go. While hosting a recent press screening for Last Night in Soho, the game creator once again underscored his desire to be an astronaut.

Chansey’s name in Japanese is Rakkii (ラッキー ) or “lucky,” and that’s exactly what kids in Namie, Fukushima prefecture are. The character is getting its own playground in the city, and it looks sweet.
Twitch streamer Ludwig Ahgren, who in April set a world record for the highest number of subscribers—at over 270,000—has left the platform and will now be streaming exclusively at YouTube Gaming.
I’ve lost count of the amount of Neon Genesis Evangelion cosplay I’ve posted on this site over the last 10 years, but pretty much all of it has been focused on the anime’s characters, especially Rei and Asuka. Its enormous mechs are a somewhat trickier proposition.
It’s time to reset the clock on days without a glitch being discovered in Battlefield 2042. The latest glitch found in the first-person shooter allows players to use the in-game menus to cancel the effects of smoke grenades.
We’re a year after release and the PS5 is still hard to find, which means the consoles already out there are a hot commodity. Sadly, this has led to a heated resale culture around the machine, and even more sadly in this case, it has resulted in a 19 year-old being shot when trying to sell one.
YouTuber James Steven “MrBeast” Donaldson’s Squid Game recreation is so popular on the video-sharing platform that its view count almost mirrors that of the hit Korean survival drama that inspired it. While it’s easy to get caught up in how accurate the non-lethal set was, it’s even easier to miss some of the…
Destiny 2 has a reputation for being convoluted and obtuse, even among live service games, and things are about to get even worse when it comes to its expansions, with integral parts of the game arbitrarily paywalled behind old products.
There’s a new Halo out, the first in more than half a decade, but all anyone can talk about is its contentious battle pass. The convo has now hit a point of cacophonous saturation, prompting a top creative on the game to openly acknowledge complaints about Halo Infinite’s progression, and state that addressing them…
Some of Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl’s rarest Pokémon aren’t officially in the game yet, but that hasn’t stopped impatient players from finding creative ways to get at least one of them early. Normally, the mythic hedgehog Shaymin isn’t available outside of special events, but thanks to BDSP’s litany of…
When Nintendo released the bongo drum controllers used with the Donkey Konga games and Donkey Kong Jungle Beat, the company probably didn’t envision them being used in a Call of Duty game. To be fair, neither did I. But in a recent Call of Duty: Vanguard match, Twitch streamer DeanoBeano managed to amass 105 kills and…
What drives a man to spend his time and money procuring a couple thousand copies of Burger King’s stealth-action advergame Sneak King? I have no idea, but wrestler and professional thumbtack enthusiast Leroy Patterson seems to be having a great time doing it.
Jump Force, a game that will be summarily executed by its publisher in just a few short months, is discounted to just $6 as part of Steam’s fall sale—so this may be your last chance to grab the anime arena-fighter before the game is delisted on February 7, 2022, and sees its online services disabled in August.
The latest batch of Pokémon games, Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, are experiencing a handful of silly glitches. While the duplication glitch is something players are exploiting to their advantage, there’s another glitchy issue players are encountering that is just plain weird: seeing their monsters’ nicknames…
Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl are but a week old today, and yet a speedrunner has already figured out how to get through them in well under an hour. The secret? They’re “so broken.”
Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl has been a glitch-fest so far. While some of the bugs have been annoying or just plain weird, others, like duplication glitches, have effectively broken the game. First, players found a way to clone one Pokémon at a time. Then they found a way to duplicate entire teams. Now,…
In Netflix’s Squid Game, the stakes are high. If you win, you get 45.6 billion Korean won ($39 million). If you lose, well, you die. YouTuber MrBeast has recreated Squid Game—but lowering the stakes in the process. Thank goodness for that!
