Gears of War has always been known for emotionally impactful trailers, and the Tomorrow trailer for Gears of War 4 is no different. The trailer offers a look into the life of JD Fenix, who must take on the calling of his father 25 years after the events of Gears of War
Since its humble beginnings on the Nintendo Entertainment System in 1986, The Legend of Zelda has grown to become one of the most recognized and highly-acclaimed franchises in all of gaming. Naturally, gamers look forward to each new addition to the series with excitement and anticipat
PLAY THIS GAME!!! Dicey Dungeons is dice-based in both a mechanical and literal sense, and is by far the most underrated title on this list. It turns standard roguelike and deck-building mechanics on their heads with its dice-based actions and differing playstyles between its six characters. I tend to be very lukewarm on deck-building or card games, and while games like Slay the Spire are fun, that still served as a roadblock for
Thanks to its hefty post-launch support and just being a damn good game in general, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is one of my most played Nintendo Switch games of the year and has managed to make my top 10 once again. Even though it didn’t work last time, I will say it again: now just add Geno, Sakurai, and we’ll talk about Super Smash Bros. Ultimate making it onto my 2020 GOTY list as w
I’m not much of a creator, but I’ve had a ton of fun seeing what everyone’s made in Super Mario Maker 2. Whether I’m rating levels for StephenPlays’ Morning Mario, getting random grab bags of levels in multiplayer or endless mode, or just browsing for myself, I am always surprised by the masterpieces and monstrosities that people can come up with if you give them the right to
We’ll be seeing this game’s influence on the industry over the next couple of years, whether that be via making traversal interesting alongside the online mechanics. We need more Adventure Games Exploration Guide like Death Stranding . Still, I don’t think I can ever hear another line as terrible as “Like Mario and Princess Bea
This year’s DOOM made a huge splash in the gaming industry, receiving strong reviews from gamers and critics , and selling well both in stores and digitally. In preparation for the game’s release, id Software released a handful of trailers, including its incredible one-minute Fight Like Hell cinematic trai
Whatever happened to Fable ? Despite being one of the highest profile, exclusive franchises on the Xbox, after the release of Fable 3 , Microsoft didn’t seem to know what to do with the franchise. With a nearly-forgotten experiment with the Kinect, Fable: Journeys , and some Xbox Live Arcade games based on the minigames in the franchise, there hasn’t been a commitment to a mainline Fable game in nearly a decade. With the recent closure of Fable developer Lionhead Games, one of the dearly departed studios from the late-period PC market of the 90s and made up of many castoffs from Theme Hospital and Dungeon Keeper Bullfrog, and the even more recent cancellation of the multiplayer-focused Fable: Legends , there seemed to be no hope for a new installment in what was once the most exciting RPG franchise e
Battlefield 1 ’s success didn’t start when the game launched in October. Rather, it started when EA released the game’s announcement trailer back in May . From the gritty, brutal action, to the powerful rendition of The White Stripe’s Seven Nation’s Army, this is one trailer that incites incredible emotion within any gamer that watches it. Even now, seven months after the trailer’s release, it still has the ability to spawn goosebumps for view
Way, way back in the early 2000s, while promoting the original Fable , designer Peter Molyneux famously proclaimed that the world of Fable would respond to player input like no other game before. He famously promised that players could knock acorns off of trees and that those acorns would eventually grow into acorns themselves. Now, Molyneux is famous for over-promising and has even apologized for doing
Even if combos were integrated into the combat, the camera would still be a problem. During battle, at random intervals, finishing moves will be in slo-mo and the camera will zoom in on the downed enemy. Not only is this disorientating when surrounded by enemies, but while the camera is zooming the other enemies don’t stop attacking. While battling five wolves, the camera may zoom in to show one being killed, meanwhile the other four wolves are still attacking and draining life. Since the game isn’t difficult this normally won’t result in death, but it’s still poor des
Despite its handful of shortcomings, Final Fantasy 15 has been a resounding success for Square Enix. The game’s story, characters, and environment are all compelling and interesting, and do a great job pulling players into the fantastical wo
One of the most unique yet bizarre trailers of the year was Kojima Productions’ Death Stranding Reveal Trailer at E3 2016. The unsettling trailer opens with a quote from poet and author William Blake about holding infinity in the palm your hands. From there, viewers are treated to a cryptic sequence involving Walking Dead actor Norman Reedus and an infant ch
