It allows you to discover secrets and gain access to exclusive shops, making every decision you make feel like it has weight behind it. One of the first side opportunities you can run into is gaining access to the Black Market in Mirogana. While it’s a relatively simple task to complete, you can miss it entirely, meaning you won’t gain access to the unique items it offers, which can go a long way when upgrading your equipment....

Depending on who you ask, virtual reality is dying or it’s never been better or it exists outside the realm of normal humanity and only weirdos care about it. Since I fall into the latter category, I’m still on board. Oh, IknowthatSony isn’t really supporting the PlayStation VR 2. I’m aware of that fact! Most of the best PS VR2 games are also available on the Oculus Quest 3 or Steam, andthe best PSVR game still hasn’t been ported....

Here’s how the summer showcases usually go for a site like TheGamer, that is able to attend lots of events with a good amount of staff and thus see many games. We all come back with a much longer wishlist than before and a flutter in our hearts whenever we think about the unique indie games we saw, but all anyone wants to read about are the triple-A games that play, who’d have thunk, just like triple-A games....

Summary Every gamer out there knows the feeling of watching a movie, anime, or TV series and thinking to themselves: “I wish I could play this”. We’ve all thought long and hard at one point or another about what movies we’d like to see made into video games, and how we’d like them to play, but of all the genres we speculate about making video games for, horror always feels like the most exciting option....

The phrase ‘CapcomRenaissance’ is going out of style. Ever since the release ofResident Evil 7, the Japanese developer and publisher has been firing on all cylinders as it places its focus on original IP both big and small with heartfelt remasters and new projects that we’ve never seen before. While there have been acouple of rare missteps, few companies are doing it like Capcom these days, and that warrants celebration....

As well as giving us a better look at the story and some of the companions,it made the huge reveal that Morrigan is back, and is seemingly playing a significant role in the story. However, some fans now fear that this isn’t Morrigan at all.

Summary While they might not be the best controllers we have ever seen, the tech that goes into making them combined with first party controller prices in 2024 means theNintendo Switch’s Joy-Con cost a lot to replace. It’ll cost you $70 for a new pair, so a deal running at Walmart right now should be of particular interest to anyone in the market for new Switch controllers. A bundle that combines a pair of red and blue Joy-Con with a copy ofSuper Mario Partyfor $69, effectively getting you the game for free....

Summary Perhaps the most startling difference between Twister and Twisters is the attractiveness of the cast. While Twister felt like ordinary people you believed were on the fringes of society chasing weather, Twisters features people you could see in magazines advertising perfume. And in real life, we do. It’s not necessarily a criticism. While I think Twisters loses the tornado in its sails as it sets up its finale, I prefer its overall narrative and think it offers deeper villains and a more rounded story by focussing on the human impact of tornado damage....

Quick Links Listen up, you beautiful bunch of frame-rate freaks and resolution junkies! We’re about to dive into the display debate so heated, it makesconsolewars look like a toddler slap fight.

By the end of this pixel-packed journey, you’ll either be a certified display doctor or at least sound smart enough to impress that cute GameStop employee who always judges your game choices....

With the launch of Stellar Crown and the introduction of Terapogos to the Pokemon TCG later this month, we will soon have the full roster of Scarlet & Violet era Pokemon. Over the last two years the card game has worked its way through Paldea with themes mirroring the video games, and with this Indigo Disk-themed set, we’re coming to the end of that journey. As expected, Stellar Crown brings an evolution to this era’s ex mechanic, not unlike the Tag Team GX cards from Sun & Moon or the V-Union cards from Sword & Shield - both introduced late into their respective generations....
