Ardent online gamers in America spend an average of 6.5 hours per week playing games with others virtually and five hours playing with others in person, the Entertainment Software Association (ESA) reports. And that’s to say nothing of the some 155 million Americans who put their money where there mouth is and play online games annually at sites such as ...

Games are like porn: some people admit they play them, the others lie about doing it. Let’s face it, we all play them. Some of us on a daily basis, other more rarely. Some people play on their computers, others on their smartphones, and the really serious gamers play on their consoles. The fact is that everyone does it. Those ...

Augmented Reality. Virtual Reality. Both terms are very popular as of late and both contain the same word, even though they are very different when it comes to achieving “reality”. With the introduction of the Oculus Rift and the HTC VIVE, not to mention PlaystationVR entering the ring soon, Virtual Reality has been a buzzword in the industry for the ...

I’ll be honest with you – I don’t really play a lot of sports games. In fact, Madden NFL 17 is the first football game I’ve spent more than a few hours with since Madden Football 64. To my pleasant surprise, though, I actually enjoyed my time with the game. As you all know, every year comes the day when EA puts out ...

Pokémon GO was announced last year, and people have been freaking out about it ever since. The original trailer (included below) blew everyone’s minds, and it was a tough wait. I mean, it’s a big deal – this is something we’ve all been dreaming of since the original Pokémon games came out! We’ve all wanted to set out on a Pokémon ...

Trailers and early-access gameplay blew gamers away last year – since PAX East 2015, it’s been near impossible to talk about upcoming games without someone mentioning We Happy Few. Now, players on Xbox One and PC can finally play the game. So that’s what we’ve done! Keep in mind that this ...

Gal*Gun: Double Peace is something I never expected to make it to the West. It’s a rail shooter with light dating sim elements. Instead of shooting zombies or soldiers, though, you’ll be aiming for cute anime girls. You’ll have to shoot them with pheromones to keep them off of you, because everybody is suddenly in love with you. All the while, ...

Duelyst is a collectible card game for PC and Mac. Yes, I know that at this point, in 2016, that’s less exciting than it used to be. With TCG games like Hearthstone, Scrolls, Magic: The Gathering Online, and HEX (just to name a few) already on the scene, it’s increasingly harder to make a game that makes an impression. Luckily, though, Duelyst succeeds in many ways. ...

Zero Time Dilemma is the third and final entry in the Zero Escape series. The series began with 999: Nine Hours, Nine Persons, Nine Doors in 2009, and was followed by Zero Escape: Virtue’s Last Reward in 2012. Now, the final installment is finally here. Zero Time Dilemma takes place between 999 and Virtue’s Last Reward. There are some sequels that are fully playable even if you haven’t ...

Odin Sphere originally came out in 2007. It was immediately recognized as one of the best RPGs on PlayStation 2, and for good reason – the story, gameplay, and graphics were top tier for the time. Now, in 2016, we get a chance to revisit the world of Odin Sphere with Odin Sphere Leifthrasir from Vanillaware and ATLUS. The game ...
