Taking place in Philadelphia following a North Korean invasion, Homefront: The Revolution tasks players with inciting a rebellion and taking the city’s streets back from the invaders. Though it sounds exciting enough on paper, this 2016 open-world FPS was seriously hindered by technical issues. What’s more, the gameplay was stilted and repetitive, and gamers were quick to move
World of Warcraft lead Ion announced the WoW: Shadowlands expansion with an incredible new cinematic trailer at BlizzCon 2019. The lengthly cinematic continues the story established in BfA and focuses on World of Warcraft lore. It depicts an encounter between Sylvanas, who has traveled to Icecrown, and the current Lich King, Bolvar. Sylvanas arrives at Icecrown in pursuit of something much more nefarious than just claiming the throne for herself though. The trailer’s twist ending sparked a ton of debate on the internet and in the WoW commun
Although its current window of release is unknown, Techland’s Dying Light 2 is one of the bigger games known about so far. It was delayed from its spring 2020 window, instead likely releasing sometime this fall. And when it does, it has been confirmed to be a cross-gen release on PS5 and Xbox Series
Out of all the games rumored for Sony’s press conference, though, one of the most surprising is PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds . Microsoft has supported PUBG ‘s entrance into the console market by pushing it on the Xbox One, going as far as to bundle the game with Xbox One X consoles. It would be surprising to see Microsoft let PUBG slip through its fingers and land on the PS4 storefront, but at E3, anything is possi
Nintendo hasn’t made a true Paper Mario game since 2004’s Thousand Year Door , and if you’ve always wished for another game like those first two in the series then you should probably check this out. It doesn’t revolutionize the British RPG formula, but Bug Fables shows that you don’t need an Italian plumber to have fun playing with pa
Kings of Lorn: The Fall of Ebris developer TeamKill Media has announced its upcoming first-person shooter and horror hybrid , Quantum Error . The announcement trailer doesn’t reveal too much about the game; however, i it takes place on Earth in the year 2109 during some sort of invasion by zombie-like creatures. Quantum Error has been confirmed for both PS4 and PS5, with no word on a release win
Life and death are inevitable parts of existence. All things born will eventually leave this place, and while no one quite knows where they go, traces of their time on Earth linger after they leave. This doesn’t solely apply to living beings, eit
During Bethesda’s E3 presentation last year, The Evil Within and The Evil Within 2 developer Tango Gameworks revealed that it was working on a new survival-horror game, Ghostwire: Tokyo. Not a lot is currently known about Ghostwire: Tokyo , only that it’s not a traditional horror game, but an action-adventure where players will need to rid the city of Tokyo of paranormal enemies and supernatural evil. Given that no release window or platforms were announced, it seems safe to say Ghostwire: Tokyo is eyeing the next-generation consoles, although this is currently speculat
Of course, it’s possible that none of the rumored games will be announced at E3, so fans should keep that in mind before getting their hopes up. Ultimately, we’ll just have to wait for the E3 festivities to kick off this weekend to see which rumors are validated and which are put to r
Blizzard revealed Diablo 4 with a very lengthy cinematic that puts the spotlight on the game’s main villains and the return to a dark, gothic-inspired tone. In the cinematic trailer, fans witness the villain Lilith summoned, complete with Satantic horns and what appears to be a huge (and disgusting) cape made out of human s
Though Wolfenstein 3D may not have been the first FPS , it certainly revolutionized the genre and made it a force to be reckoned with. Hype for the series waned over time, but MachineGames brought it back in full force with 2014’s Wolfenstein: The New Order . The alternate history game brought a surprising depth to the narrative. Players came in thinking Inglorious Basterds , but got something more along the lines of Philip K. Dick’s The Man in the High Cast
Bug Fables is pretty solid in every aspect, but I will admit to some mild frustration due to the game’s dedication to being a Paper Mario tribute act. As a result of the flat style, sometimes the platforming and puzzle sections were a little awkward. Lining up certain jumps could be hard to gauge as the shadows under the characters were too light to reliably determine where I was going to land. This problem could be exacerbated if I was trying to go toward or away from the screen as the ground might not be fully visible due to the camera’s position. The side view of the game could also be a hindrance to solving puzzles as it would be hard to properly aim abilities like Vi’s Beemerang, which made some puzzles more annoying than they should have b
