Spin class Activision debutedCall of Duty: Infinite Warfarethis week and the name alone already has me exhausted. At least I’ll be able to tell my kids that I remember a time when there wasn’t a newCall of Dutyevery year, but they won’t believe me. They’ll just scoff and go back to their virtual reality opium den. A lot of people are taking umbrage with Infinity Ward (more likeInfinity Wardfare!) taking to space with segments that look more likeEVE Valkyriethan typicalCall of Duty— there’s not even a “press x to pay respects” button!...

Among Usis a fiendish friendship-wrecking game about sussing out imposters in your crew, and while it’s almost two years old,it recently snowballedto climb the sales charts. It’s the number-one best-selling game on Steam right now, and it had 360,000 peak concurrent players on PC today. It’s a beast. The team behindAmong Ushad been planning a sequel – a way to escape the “outdated” codebase and build fresh content – but in light of renewed interest in the game, there’s been a change of plans....

VR-ify the whole Resident Evil catalog, Capcom After Capcom’s outstanding early work inResident Evil 7, and Armature Studio’s recent home run withResident Evil 4for Oculus Quest 2, I hope the VR side of the series can expand to not justResident Evil Village, but other games, too. When everything goes right, it’s a pretty unforgettable experience. I mean, even fan-made mods can get the job done in some cases. You’ve got to see the latest footage ofPraydog‘sResident Evil 2VR mod....

Every newCall of Dutyseason usually adds new content while keeping the standard gameplay loop relatively the same. However, Activision is looking to shake things up a little bit with Season 4 with the introduction of an all-new game mode in the form of a unique playlist modifier called Bit Party, a pixel-inspired playlist. Minecraft Steve would be proud of the new mode, which allows players to experience the multiplayer ofCall of Dutyin a new lens....

It wasn’t planted yet! Hogwarts Legacyhas a ton of noticeable landmarks to peruse, scattered all over the last two decades or so of Wizarding World history. You have Hogsmeade, the Hogwarts Express, and of course, the halls of Hogwarts itself. But one thing that you won’t be able to find is the Whomping Willow: which factors heavily in the third book/film,Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. Here’s why! The Whomping Willow was planted in 1971, roughly 80 years after the events ofHogwarts Legacy In the books/films, the Whomping Willow’s job is to protect folks from entering the Shrieking Shack, which is located in Hogsmeade....

Given that it feels like thousands of games are released every single month on platforms like Steam and mobile devices, things canslip by, to say the least. One such game I missed wasCorn Kidz 64: an homage to Nintendo’s influential era of ’90s gaming. It came out on Steam on June 30, 2025, and has developed a cult following of sorts, with overwhelmingly positive reviews to boot. So what’s new withCorn Kidz?...

It will be a cyberpunk movie So it looks like we’re still getting thatDeus Exmovie, whether we like it or not. The tragic history of film adaptations of videogames makes me less than enthused about the project; however, the setting and philosophical quandaries ofDeus Ex: Human Revolutiondo make for an interesting set-up, even if I felt that the game itself dealt with them in a rather lackluster fashion. C. Robert Cargill, who has been working on the screenplay, and director Scott Derrickson attempted to put folks’ minds at ease in arecent interviewwith CraveOnline....

Hancock: Posting about -> Dota 2 Frostivus is not coming this year, but that doesn’t meanDota 2goes stale! While there may not be a big gameplay event, we’ve got somebig gameplay changes taking place. Lifestealer takes a lot of the focus in this update with his reworked Ultimate ability. Now, when Lifestealer uses Infest in a creep, he cantake controlof that creep and use its abilities! This adds a lot of dimension and makes Lifestealer much more appealing to me....

Updated Monster Coin system revealed We got a quick look atDragon Quest Heroes II: The Twin Kings and the Prophecy’s Enda couple months back, but the newest trailer is much more comprehensive, giving each character new and old ample screen time and explaining all of the various mechanics. It seems to be much the same experience as the first entry, gameplay-wise, just with new characters, new enemies, and new equipment. And I’m certainly not complaining,Dragon Quest Heroeswas excellent and I look forward to more of the same....

I’d try to say something witty here but this series would one-up whatever I’d come up with Role-playing games are usually lauded for dramatic storytelling first and foremost. Sure, there’s a lot of comic relief in our favorite RPGs, but “serious story” tends to be what defines them most. It’s what most of us think about when critiquing them, anyway.
