Pokemon is one of the few Nintendo franchises that has appeared in every Super Smash Bros. since the series launched on the N64 in 1999. Pikachu and Jigglypuff were the first to represent the Pokemon IP, but each new entry introduced more playable characters such as Mewtwo, Lucario, and Pichu. There are currently ten Pokemon to play as in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate (if you count Squirtle, Ivysaur, and Charizard as separate fighters) but that doesn’t mean that any of the other 900 couldn’t hold their own in a fight against Solid Snake or Samus Aran....

I love to be surprised by indie games. Puzzle-platformers, in particular, are great for finding unique ideas and stories that create lasting impressions. Projection: First Light is a shorter game like most of its brethren, and there’s a certain amount of wonkiness to its mechanics. However, it’s got a lot of heart, a fantastic presentation, really cool central mechanics, and a very enjoyable story that all come together to elevate the experience....

Remedy Entertainment’s latest paranormal third-person shooter Control is out now for PC, Xbox One and PS4. It’s getting pretty high marks, but has some noticeable performance issues on both consoles. The PS4 in particular has been noted as having framerates dipping to unreasonable levels. Control is the latest from the team behind Max Payne and Quantum Break. According to our review of Control, it’s one of the best games of the year and “quite possibly Remedy’s best game yet....

While Resident Evil 3 was officially revealed and announced earlier this week, it seems Capcom aren’t willing to just sit on the announcement until the game releases in April as a couple of interesting updates have emerged for the previous game – Resident Evil 2.

This Ozark season 3 review contains no spoilers. In December, filmmaker Noah Baumbach’s Marriage Story was celebrated for its painstaking depiction of divorce, its adept use of Adam Driver and Scarlett Johansson’s performances, and–to the surprise of no one–its meme-ability.

After nine years of development, Slitherine and Flashback Games’ Panzer Corps 2 finally has a release date, March 19. In just two months, gamers will be able to play the sequel to the well-received Panzer Corps. That game itself was a modernized imagining of the classic Panzer General series of old.
