The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakeningis, despite its humble origins on the original Gameboy, one of the most highly-regarded entries in the Zelda series. Through a combination of offbeat charm, fun cameos, and a highly unconventional narrative, the game created a handheld Zelda experience that was dreamlike, in every sense of the word, from start to finish.

You never know what you’re gonna get. This gnomic phrase is as true to a box of chocolates, to life, as it is the fact you never know when you might just stumble on a stash of rare and valuableMagic: The Gatheringcards in your deceased relative’s safe. Over on theMagicTCG subreddit(backed up byreveddit), a user posted a request for information and advice. The Reddit user had finally been able to get into their uncle’s safe, after he died in 2013....

While theResident Evil 4 remakehas been received really well, there was a bit of confusion about whether its two other game modes, Mercenaries and Separate Ways, would also be remade.Mercenaries eventually came out on April 7, but there’s still no official word on the latter. However, if datamines are to be believed, it’s only a matter of time.In March, we reported that dataminers managed to findfiles related to the Separate Ways DLCin the source code of Resident Evil 4....

It’s easy to root for the nice guy. One of the most reliable tropes across storytelling is good versus evil. It could be angels versus demons, warriors of purity against corrupted gods, sheriffs versus bandits, or superheroes versus supervillains, but wherever you look, we see the same story being retold. In slasher movies,that force of good is usually a final girl- a nice, sweet character who is hardened by the situation she finds herself in, who overcomes an unstoppable killer with a convoluted and shallow motive, making it easier than ever to draw the line between good and evil....

It’s fair to callSons of the Foresta slow burner. Though someone hasalready completed the game in eight minutes, I spent my first two hours accomplishing very little. I built a tent on the beach (and, misunderstanding how ineffective it was, one of the log shelters too), and wandered around fairly aimlessly responding only to my most specific needs as they flashed up on screen. However, I haveplayed enough to decide that I really don’t like Kelvin, or feel comfortable around him....

Respawnmakes you feel ludicrously powerful in the opening hours ofStar War Jedi: Survivor. Cal Kestis’ introductory jaunt on Coruscant has him dismembering Stormtroopers like it’s going out of style before darting across neon-drenched billboards to navigate the undercity. With two lightsabers and a litany of force powers already at your disposal, it becomes abundantly clear that this game wants you to feel like a badass, and has no interest in taking that away....

“I remember when I was a kid, the story was always the same in children’s books,” Storyteller’s developer Daniel Benmergui tells me. “But looking at the illustrations, it felt like there was potential for other things to happen differently than the story they were selling you. What would happen if I warned this character that these other characters would do this? I remember looking at the illustrations and wondering what would happen if I could change something visually to make the story go somewhere else....

Super Smash Bros.fans are feeling nostalgic, hoping that the next game brings back elements from Brawl. More specifically, fans want to see aspects of Subspace Emissary make their way into the next Smash game, having been absent from the series since 2008. This comes as Smash fans look back on Subspace Emissary’s enemy designs, appreciating the wild designs that never got used again. Even thoughNintendohas since ditched them, fans still appreciate them fifteen years later, prompting them to share other aspects of the iconic story mode that they’d love to see make a return....

The biggest appeal ofVRis that anyone can play it, and the biggest barrier is that no one can. VR has a pick up and play feel to it, as well as a novelty factor, which makes it more appealing to casual audiences in much the same way as theWii. However, it also comes with a high price tag, has a limited array of games, and has struggled to carve out any real identity being trapped between casual, hardcore, overly technical experiences, and inferior versions of existing games....

When you close your eyes and think of Link fromThe Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, you probably think of a brave, regal warrior dressed head to toe in fancy armor that he’ll wear whilst smacking down The Demon King. In actuality, all that shield surfing, climbing up cliffs, and torturing Koroks means Link probably works up quite a sweat, and could potentially produce a stench that would make your toes curl if he’s wearing certain pieces of clothing....

This past weekend sawAda Wong actor Lily Gao delete most of her social media due to hatebeing sent her way byResident Evil 4fans. I don’t think we should brush this off by saying ‘so called’ fans. They are fans. Real fans. The type of toxic, parasocial, deeply defensive fans that gaming as a whole is keen to cultivate and cater to. So when they all blow up in someone’s face (usually a female actor or developer), it’s insulting to dismiss these people as not being true fans, as if this is a one off case nobody could have ever predicted....
