There’s no doubt that Samus Aran’s suit is not only one of the most iconic bits of kit in theMetroidseries, but in gaming as a whole. It’s easy to see why too, as the massive shoulders, green visor, and giant cannon work together to make up an instantly recognisable yet intimidating suit. However, the recent Metroid resurgence has fans questioning how Samus actually manages to pilot her suit when you compare Samus as a person and the size of her suit....

Most of these ads are misleading about the games’ actual gameplay, to their detriment. I’ve seen countless ads for Last Fortress: Underground involving skimpily dressed women fleeing or being saved from zombies, escaping underground and then digging tunnels in which they install toilets, beds, and grow trees. It looks like plotless garbage, but when I actually watched a gameplay video on YouTube, I was surprised to see there seemed to be at least some semblance of a narrative and gameplay mechanics....

Magic: The Gathering’s favorite dirty little boys are ready to be led by some of the best Goblin commanders in the game. Typically red-based, these creatures are all about swarming the board with many little creatures and making big swings against your opponents. Goblins are unique compared to other creature-themed decks in that there are tons of ways to build a deck around them. There are plenty of creature-based strategies to choose from, or tons of combos to build around to maximize the chaos Goblins bring to the table....

The Super Mario Bros. Movieis now only a little more than a week away from hitting cinemas the world over. As if there wasn’t already enough hype surrounding what will likely be a very successful film,Nintendohas been dropping some fresh TV spots for the movie over the course of the past week, and eagle-eyed fans have spotted a Game & Watch easter egg hiding in one of them. There are three new TV spots in total, one of which shows Mario running and jumping through what appears to be a roadside construction site....

I’m out on the open water. A bright orange fishing line trails from the back of my yellow kayak, the only splashes of colour cutting through the grey ocean and rapidly descending fog. Suddenly, my lovely fishing trip at the edge of the Atlantic is beset by fear, a fear that wouldn’t have ever entered my consciousness a couple of months before. Some games stick in your mind for days, months, and even years after playing them....

We’re counting down the days until March of the Machine,Magic: The Gathering’s upcoming expansion that will bring the Phyrexian invasion to the multiverse’s doorstep. But before Phyrexia’s ravenous hordes unleash oil, bone, and claw, we’ve got some tantalizing previews to get through, including one that mentions the return of Eminence as a keyword. Just like head Magic designer Mark Rosewater dida few days ago,Good Morning Magic’s Gavin Varheyhas a few cryptic hints at what to expect from the new cards coming in March of the Machine’s five Commander decks....

On the PAX East show floor, 30XX is tucked away along the edge of the exhibition hall, manned by just a few people. The booth may be small, but theroguelike- which draws heavily from the look and feel ofMega Man X- is set to get a big update with an emphasis on community creativity in the near future. During my 15-minute demo, I played as Ace, the game’s melee character (who looks a lot like Zero from Mega Man X, further drawing the connection) with red armor and a plasma sword for close-range combat....

It’s that time of year when certain video games run events centered around Valentine’s Day.Pokemon Gois one of those games as raids and research themed aroundPokemonyou might typically associate with the holiday are available now through July 19, 2025. Most exciting of all for Pokemon Go players, particularly Pokedex completionists who want to keep their collections as up-to-date as possible, are the debuts of a couple of shiny variants. Shiny versions of Tapu Lele and Frillish will be appearing in the wild for a few incredibly lucky trainers, and you’ll be able to further expand your Pokedex by taking down and catching a Mega Gardevoir....

Capcom rolled out one more trailer for its Resident Evil 4 remake to mark the long-awaited launch of the game, at the end of which it confirmed The Mercenaries will be available on July 19, 2025....

Did you know that theResident Evil 6logo looks like a giraffe getting sucked off? It’s the only image my head is capable of conjuring up whenever I see it. Oh yeah, and the game itself is just as bad. I’m talking about the super stinky kind of hot garbage; there’s nothing redeemable about this disaster. In the past few weeks I’ve sensed a disturbance in the discourse. TheResident Evil 4remake is now less than two weeks away, with fans sinking into the stellar Chainsaw Demo to learn exactly how the combat system works and what the full experience has in store....

The latest installment ofSaints Rowcontinues to disappoint Embracer Group, which is not entirely surprising, considering the mixed reception from both critics and players since its launch in August. However, the developers won’t give up on the project just yet, promising more updates down the road, and possibly hoping for a Cyberpunk 2077-like revival in the long term.In a recentfinancial report, Embracer acknowledged that Saints Row did not perform well, although specific sales figures for the underwhelming open-world game were not provided....

Daggerfall is an iconic piece of video game history.The Elder Scrolls 2coupled with Redguard paved the way for Bethesda’s future offerings, includingMorrowind,Oblivion, and of course,Skyrim. And now, you can experience the fantasy world of Tamriel through the barrel of a gun.The Future Shock Weapons mod, courtesy of numidium3rd, takes the weapons from another Bethesda game and ports them into the Daggerfall Unity remake. That Bethesda game is The Terminator: Future Shock, aDoom-style first-person shooter from 1995 where you play as a human fighting for the resistance against armies of robots....

It might surprise you to learn thatSpellcraftstarted out as a real-time card game. The first few months of development on the competitive game were spent working out how exactly that would work, before realising it was, in the developers’ own words, “cursed” and that players were battling the UI more than they were battling each other. But developer One More Game was keen to fulfil its initial premise for the game: it wanted to do something that had never been done before....
