By the time I spent about an hour withFinal Fantasy 7: Ever Crisis, I was hit with an overwhelming wave of familiarity. Not because of nostalgia forFinal Fantasy 7, though I have fond memories of that game. Rather, it was because I have seen virtually this exact same game on mobile devices for the past seven years now. Despite what Square Enix’s frankly confusing marketing might leave you to believe,Final Fantasy 7: Ever Crisisisjusta gacha game....

Lara needs no ‘protection’ from critics Tomb Raiderreviews spilled their juicy guts all over the Internet today, and it seems Square Enix was right to confidently lift embargo a week early. Reviews across the board have been almost universally positive, with Lara Croft’s reimagined adventures pleasing the critics. Despite high scores, a number of reviews seem to contain a lot of criticism — criticism that doesn’t seem to impact the overall sentiments writers have had....

Upcoming games will be shown on an ‘individual basis’ Square Enix hada surprisingly packed lineupof upcoming games to show off at E3 2019, but things won’t be the same this year. They can’t be the same this year. E3 2020 was called off, but there’s also the ramifications of remote work to consider. Some studios are adjusting better than others.

The Couch Campaign continues! When we think of the American west, we think of outlaws and lawmen, settlers trying to eke out a new life in an inhospitable place and, most of all, stylish dress composed of pastels and fringe. It is in that spirit that Jordan and I approachedSunset Ridersfor the Super Nintendo, knowing that while it was important to be good, that should be secondary tolooking good. And if you’re still following along with our playthrough ofFallout: Brotherhood of Steel, we have the next installment of that epic adventure below....

Are you all excited about theFallout 4next-gen update? I’d imagine many of you are. Except possibly those who have been waiting for the fan-made projectFallout: London, which has had to be delayed. And also those who are in the modding community. Much like whenStardew Valleyreleased its big 1.6 update, many were concerned that the changes would break a lot of mods, or at least make them incompatible. This is expected to be the case forFallout 4custom content after the big update rolls out....

‘It’s about your birth.’ Silent Hill 3is a mean-spirited game, but then that was always the point. to value her future, Heather Mason is dragged, kicking and screaming, through the muck and mire of her past. Yes, she’s given the tools to fight back, but the overwhelming numbers in her way serve as reminder that it’s easier to flee from destiny. Overall, it’s an exhaustive experience; the only relief coming from a goofy swerve, seconds before the end....

Expect blockbuster action in theWheel of Timevideogames. Professional screenwriter Chris Morgan is directing the story for Red Eagle Entertainment’s forthcoming videogame series. Morgan is the writer of numerous Hollywood flicks including such greats asCellular,Wanted,The Fast and Furious: Tokyo Drift. TheWheel of Timeseries is a mess of cold stares and plot holes, but we’re guessing that’s not why Morgan was given the job as story director. The videogame series is described as a set of games “derived” from Robert Jordan’s fiction, thus — and we’re guessing here — writers are need to plug in whatevergame-yelements are needed to flesh out the digital experience....
