Originally a product of Interplay Entertainment, Fallout switched publishers and ended up with Bethesda, which did a fine job of bringing over the complexity and nuance of the Fallout series into a first-person perspective with Fallout 3 and Fallout 4. However, there’s a sizable section of the fanbase that believes that the Fallout series wasn’t really done justice by Bethesda themselves, but rather by another video game development studio that took over the reins and delivered a role-playing experience that was more in line with the franchise’s roots....

The slimes from the Dragon Quest series are some of the most iconic monsters in gaming, and they once made a bizarre cameo in an obscure title made by the same developer. The Dragon Quest series was originally developed by a company named Enix. In 2003, Enix merged with rival company Squaresoft (the developers of the Final Fantasy series) and they became Square Enix.

It’s been a while since we heard from Tuque Games, makers of Dungeons & Dragons: Dark Alliance, and that’s probably due to COVID.

But with 2020 behind us, Tuque is back with some big announcements, and easily the biggest is that Dark Alliance will hit consoles and PCs on June 22, 2021....
