Dungeons & Dragons: Honor among Thieves is at last here, and as led by Chris Pine with a song in his heart, and a lute in his hands, the film acts as a massive introduction to the Forgotten Realms of early D&D lore for a wider audience. That’s right, the game that was once accused

Mario gets around. The guy has appeared in over 200 video games over the decades. He’s been on so many adventures, has teamed up with Rabbids, punched Cloud Strife in the face, swam against Dr. Robotnik at the Olympics, and has refereed for both Mike Tyson and Mike Tyson’s non-union equivalent. He’s been played by

Millions have played some version of Tetris, but nobody plays the game for its story. After all, the addictive puzzler has captivated generations of gamers with its neatly easy-to-learn, but tough-to-master, gameplay rather than its total lack of narrative. It’s not The Last of Us.  Yet Tetris does have an incredible story. It’s a tale

You’ve probably heard the news. E3 2023 has been canceled, and the future of E3 itself is very much in doubt. There is some hope that E3 could return in some form, but pretty much everyone agrees that E3 as we knew it is probably gone forever.  When I heard the news, I didn’t think

With over 500 million copies sold, Tetris is one of the most successful and beloved video game franchises ever. The game was even recently adapted into a seemingly unlikely movie that tells the equally unlikely story of its origins. Of course, Tetris’ lifetime sales numbers are bolstered by the numerous spin-offs and reimaginings of the

It wouldn’t be a modern new Zelda game release without a ton of special edition accessories, and Nintendo is certainly pulling out all the swag stops for Tears of the Kingdom. Some will even be lucky enough to snag a special Tears of the Kingdom-themed Nintendo Switch OLED. Of course, that’s assuming that they’re lucky

Nintendo finally released a proper gameplay preview for The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, and it looks…really good, actually. The preview was only ten minutes long, but it showcased a few key gameplay additions that will seemingly help define the much-anticipated title. Link’s versatile (and hilarious) ability to “fuse” items together was the

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom can’t get here fast enough. Sure, the game recently went gold, but its launch is still a month and a half away. Of course, that wait now feels just a bit longer thanks to the introduction of what is probably the greatest feature in any Zelda game

Dungeons & Dragons is one of the most influential franchises in gaming history. Since it was published in 1974, the pen-and-paper roleplaying game has been turned into books, comics, cartoon series, action figures, movies, and even a breakfast cereal! Sure, it’s had its share of controversies (some unfounded, some extremely valid), but this game’s influence

During last year’s Game Awards, 505 Games announced Crime Boss: Rockay City. Nobody knew what the game was really about, as the trailer promised celebrities such as Michael Madsen, Kim Basinger, Danny Trejo, and Danny Glover. After that trailer, we didn’t really hear anything about the game until its recent release. And now we might

The Mushroom Kingdom is full of mysteries. Just what are the “Hell Valley Sky Trees” in Shiverburn Galaxy? Who is Bowser Jr.’s mother? And most crucial of all, what are Mario and Luigi’s last names? Do they even have last names? Ever since Nintendo hit the scene, gamers have flocked around the adventures of Mario

We recently talked about why Druids are (statistically speaking) the least popular Dungeons and Dragons class. While Druids’ complexity, versatility, and unique fantasy design are part of their appeal, those same attributes can easily turn off other players (especially new players). That being the case, it probably won’t surprise you to learn that D&D’s most

The Diablo 4 Early Access beta gave some fans a taste of the long-awaited sequel, but it’s the game’s Open beta that most players are truly excited for. After all, that beta will not only give everyone the chance to try the game (regardless of whether they pre-ordered the retail version or not), but it

The Diablo 4 Open Beta is a sampling of the upcoming game’s experience. The limited-time trial will let audiences create ten characters, play through the opening areas, and progress up to level 25. While all player characters will be wiped after the beta, players are still encouraged to max out their adventurers because special awards

Most survival horror games, Resident Evil included, reward players who stick around for more than one playthrough. The strongest weapons and upgrades usually hide behind stringent completion requirements, and the Resident Evil 4 Remake is no different. Resident Evil 4 Remake updates the classic RE4 experience while also keeping much of what made it beloved,

Optional costumes are nothing new in video games. Unlockable outfits have been a part of the gaming experience for almost as long as the concept of unlockables. So far, the Resident Evil remakes have been killing it with their special outfits, and Resident Evil 4 Remake continues this trend. As you play through the game,

Some traditions in the Diablo games, just like the Lord of Terror himself, never die. The iconic Diablo boss The Butcher is a prime, and evil, example of that concept. While he was missing from Diablo 2, he returned for seconds in Diablo 3, and The Butcher will also come bearing a platter of pain

The Resident Evil 4 Remake updates quite a few things about the original game, but some things never change. That means that you’ll still need to eventually solve a slightly modified version of that damn stained glass window puzzle in the church area. This puzzle will almost certainly be one of the first major progression

By now, you probably know some version of the story. The first trailer for The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker was revealed during the SpaceWorld 2001 show and immediately drew widespread backlash, much of which was directed at the game’s cel-shaded art style. It’s a controversy that has arguably become as big of a
