Surprise surprise, we have more God of War mods this week. When a PlayStation exclusive gets ported over to PC, you can count on fans to create a whole bunch of mods in a scarily small amount of time. Whether it’s being able to jump into the action faster, or making Kratos even more pleasing to the eyes, modders definitely […]

Horizon Forbidden West is less than a month away, and it might just be my most anticipated game of 2022. As much as I love Pokemon, I just can’t trust it not to fumble its great ideas, and despite the universal love for God of War, I always prefered the sense of adventure in Horizon over the restricted narrative-driven flow […]

Relatively speaking, no video games are truly necessary. I understand that. That isn't exactly what I mean when I say Crysis 4 is unnecessary though. I mean even in the land of video games, and even in the subgenre of glossy junk food shooters with nothing of substance on offer, Crysis 4 seems unnecessary. It's not that I hated the […]

In its prime, LucasArts was untouchable. As both developer and publisher, the studio had an incredible track record—from classic point-and-click adventures like Full Throttle and The Secret of Monkey Island, to some of the best Star Wars games ever made. Knights of the Old Republic, X-Wing vs. TIE Fighter, Dark Forces, Jedi Knight 2, and the original Battlefront all fell […]

Fire Emblem: Three Houses is my favourite Nintendo Switch game. While I’ve written about 2019 and 2021 being relatively thin years for games compared to 2018, 2020, and hopefully 2022, Three Houses was a bright spot for 2019 and my personal game of the year. It’s the game that got me into the Fire Emblem series. Unfortunately, it also got […]

Every now and then someone in the Pokemon community pipes up about "why don't we have Let's Go Johto yet?" and today, that someone is me. Why don't we have Let's Go Johto yet? This time, though, there is a little bit more to it. It's not just that I want Let's Go Johto – I do – or that […]

This week’s The Book of Boba Fett episode is loaded with surprises and will surely delight fans who consume all of Star Wars’ movies, shows, comics, books, and even video games. The focus of this article is just one of the surprises, which is relatively small compared to others in the episode, but still warrants a big SPOILER warning. I […]

Pokémon Legends: Arceus is a bit of a mess — but all first drafts are. It stumbles often on its way to innovation (it’s trying to evolve a nearly 24-year-old series, after all) and brings equal parts brilliance and frustration in its updated systems. But the good bits in Pokémon Legends: Arceus outweigh the bad, rounding out a successful first […]

I still can’t believe that Stranger of Paradise Final Fantasy Origin exists, or how such a project was ever greenlit in the first place. A Soulslike in the JRPG universe is a fantastic idea, especially one helmed by the team behind Nioh, but to see it expressed in such a batshit and unconventional way has me reeling in the most […]

We write a lot about Pokemon at TheGamer, which is how we're able to discover some secret, lesser known facts about the series. For example, did you know that many of the Pokemon we know and love are based on animals? You might not have noticed it the first time, but once you spot it, it's impossible to miss. For […]
