With the official unveiling of the Xbox One earlier this morning, gamers and game-makers have crossed into new and exciting territory. Now, publishers and developers can finally talk about their upcoming next-gen games not as nebulous ideas, but real products, and gamers can eagerly anticipate them. While Electronic Arts’ presence at Microsoft’s Xbox One event was focused on their EA Sports brand, they wanted to make sure their non-sports titles weren’t overlooked....

Elite Dangerous: Odyssey launched earlier this week. The game’s massive update aimed at changing the way it’s played, primarily via a system that now allows players to get out of their ships and explore planets on foot. Unfortunately, even after multiple delays, the Odyssey update seems to be riddled with bugs and performance issues, resulting in fans negatively reviewing the game. As it stands, Elite Dangerous: Odyssey has a ‘Mostly Negative’ review rating on Steam, with over 2,800 reviews, only 33% of which are positive....

So you want to live in the world of Pokemon? It is a vast and modern almost-utopia where fantastically cute critters are a highlight of every person’s day, of course you do.

Crysis Remastered is launching for PC, PS4, and Xbox One on September 18th but has already launched for the Nintendo Switch. The original plan was for all versions of Crysis Remastered to launch simultaneously, until backlash from fans over a disappointing trailer caused the non-Switch dates to be delayed. As Crysis Remastered is a graphical remaster, rather than a remake, the vast majority of the story and Crysis gameplay remains unchanged....

Flaming Fowl’s Fable Fortune card game leaves early access this week and will be a free-to-play title available for PC and Xbox One. The trek toward launching Fable Fortune has been long and difficult for Flaming Fowl’s team of ex-Lionhead developers. Originally announced as a Kickstarter project back in 2016, Fable Fortune was pitched to backers as a free-to-play collectible card game similar to Hearthstone, but with its own set of unique features such as a cooperative mode, leveling-up frequently used cards, and a morality alignment system that would affect how certain cards worked....

The streaming hit Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout may be the game of the summer, but that doesn’t mean that it is impervious to critique. Though the beans are utterly adorable and the rather simple nature of the gameplay allows it to be a simple game for all ages and audiences to get acquainted with, there are just some elements of the game that really grind our gears. Fall Guys annoyances come in all shapes and sizes....

A sequel to Obsidian’s beloved entry to the Fallout franchise, Fallout: New Vegas is looking more likely than ever. With fans calling for a sequel and Bethesda’s recent acquisition by Microsoft, which purchased Obsidian Entertainment back in 2018, another Fallout collaboration could be just around the corner.

Fallout 4 has four main factions for players to side with when they are completing the main questline. The Brotherhood of Steel is the most famous of these factions because it was also present in previous Fallout games, and there is a lot of history for this group. Some players were upset when the Brotherhood of Steel ended up acting more evil than moral in Fallout 4, and it is easy to see why considering that the Brotherhood of Steel has evolved to both condone bigotry and stealing from settlements of the Commonwealth....

According to a leak, Fallout 4’s forthcoming Survival mode is set to put Sole Survivors to the test, as it disables players’ manual saves in the game, and more. For those Fallout 4 players who consider the base model of Bethesda’s post-apocalyptic RPG to be a piece of Fancy Lads Snack Cake, the studio’s recent DLC announcement teased that the title’s re-hauled Survival mode will be more difficult than previous entries in the series in order to satiate the needs of hardcore fans....

Bethesda’s Fallout 76 has made great strides in terms of extra content since its release. In early 2021, it was announced that players would be able to make new Camps without having to entirely take apart their old ones. Camps are little bases of operations. Many have adored the chance to decorate these little areas and create inspired works of art in the wasteland. They also have to be practical, though, and of course, you’ll need to determine where the best place to settle down will be....

You can take the role of either Corvo or Emily as they try to retake the throne.
