I’ve played Resident Evil 4 an absurd number of times. The PS2 version came out when I was 15, and that Christmas I played it over and over again until I could practically play it with my eyes closed. Back then we didn’t have live service games like kids today, and the online game I had for PS2 was Ratchet & Clank: Up Your Arsenal (look it up), so it wasn’t weird to grind a single player game like a Fortnite battle pass....

TheSuper Smash Bros.series pulls overt inspiration from many corners of the video game universe since it brings together characters from various games and series. What you might not have known until now, since its creator only just revealed it, is even the iconic fighting series' damage system comes from a previously existing game. Turns out getting thrown off the screen to die, and the pace at which you fly off being determined by how much damage you have taken, was first used inKirby’s Dream Land....

There is only one day left until The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom launches to very probable domination of the bestseller lists. Review embargo is up and from the looks of things Nintendo’s follow-up toBreath of the Wildhas been worth the wait. Here at TheGamer, our lead features editor Jade King awarded the title our highest possible score, a full 5/5, saying that it is a “masterpiece that not only equals what came before, it does everything in its power to surpass it”....

After the epic final trailer forTears of the Kingdomthatshowed its new-look Ganondorffor the first time, it was hard to imagine whereNintendomight go from there aside from actually launching the game. It decided to go an entirely different way with its next ad, showing a man traveling to and from work, seemingly downtrodden by his life in general and having something light up inside him when playing hisSwitch. Whether the ad brought a tear to your eyes or made you roll them as Nintendo suggested its $70 game will make your life better, turns out it was based on a true story....

When it came out in 1997,GoldenEye 007on the Nintendo 64 was an absolute revelation for console first-person shooters. The missions' complex objectives require thought and observation to complete, and the multiplayer produced countless sleepless nights among console owners.

Music can sometimes go underappreciated when it comes to video games. While the gameplay, story, characters, and visuals are often at the forefront of any video game, the soundtrack for these titles is usually in the background. The songs are there to set the mood or create an atmosphere. This dynamic is wholly shifted when looking at rhythm games. RELATED:Best Rhythm Games For Beginners In these types of games, music is of the utmost importance as the gameplay is tied directly to the beat of the songs....

Sega is one of the most iconic gaming companies ever.

When I first started upSwitchback VR, I wasn’t sure how you’d make a The Dark Pictures game in virtual reality. Around five hours later as the credits rolled, I still didn’t quite know. The answer seems to be to make Until Dawn: Rush of Blood again. It’s an enjoyable experience (if you enjoy being attacked by burned killer dolls, doctors jamming needles into you, and creepy mannequins), but it never quite feels like TDPA, even as it takes you on a tour of its history....

You know those little diagrams you see in cartoons, where it shows you the cross section of a brain? Men have things like ‘sports’ and ‘money’, while women have ‘shopping’, and ‘shoes’, and ‘repressed rage at the patriarchal society which raises us from childhood to view women as frivolous and unimportant creatures’. An increasingly large portion of my own cross section has been taken up by the newTomb Raidergame. This is a surprising phenomenon, given we have learned almost nothing about it officially, and only slightly more unofficially....

There’s a valuable lesson to be learned from the current popularity of remakes. They’re hardly a new phenomenon, as video games have long held a perpetual fascination for nostalgia and how consumers are consistently eager to consume experiences they’re already familiar with. Embracing new things can be difficult, so to replay stories, catch up with characters, and remember mechanics we already think fondly of can be comforting. But such projects are far more exciting if they aim to take risks, either by subverting the original vision or building upon it with surprise revisions or a profound understanding of the legacy it seeks to pilfer....

Quick Links Geralt’s spins, pirouettes, and parries are something close to the stuff of legend.
