Japan loves Pokemon, so it isn’t surprising that the popular critters are used to advertise pretty much everything, from whole prefectures to airports and airlines. This time around, the administration of Miyazaki Bouganvillea Airport in the southern island of Kyushu have decided to go big with a massive life-sized statue of an Alolan Exeggutor.

I admittedly never played the first two Fallout games. My introduction to the series began the same as many, with Bethesda’s Fallout 3. No doubt many modern Fallout fans, while having heard of the original games by Black Isle Studios, have likely never gone back to play the ones that started it all. It’s a shame, as many have regarded both games as two of the best role-playing games on the PC....

At tonight’s Summer Game Fest, we got a look at upcoming indie game Highwater from publisher Rogue Games and developer Demagog . It is a colourful and playfully chunky looking strategy game, but one with a somber undertone. As the name suggests, it focuses on a world ravaged by the effects of global warming and the resulting high water levels. It also features a city called Alphaville, so yes, while I am writing this up, I am also singing Big in Japan....

PUBG Mobile is the battle royale experience you know and love, but on your mobile phone. It’s a great version of the game, managing to capture the core game’s sense of tension and skill-based combat. And while the game is generally pretty similar on mobile devices, there are some subtle differences. There’s auto-looting, auto-sprinting, map indicators for gunshots and footsteps, and an overall pivot to more action-packed gameplay. It’s currently free to download, with in-app purchases making up the bulk of the game’s revenue, and can be downloaded on both Android and iOS devices....

07Grand Theft Auto V was the most financially successful video game ever to release, and yet fans still went above and beyond to create more content for the game. The amount of fine detail put into Grand Theft Auto V explains why it sold more than 90 million copies and earned over $6 billion in revenue consisting of game sales and microtransactions. Putting aside the positives of Grand Theft Auto V, it’s worth noting that the game has flaws....

Infinity Ward has finally spoken on the addition, and subsequent removal, of some surprise maps recently quietly added to 2019’s Call of Duty: Modern Warfare during the most recent patch to Call of Duty: Warzone. A brief bit of backstory; players noticed during the most recent Season Two: Reloaded update to Call of Duty Warzone (and Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War) that several new maps had also been quietly added to previous title Call of Duty: Modern Warfare’s multiplayer including Drainage and Al-Raab Airbase in the game’s private match mode, despite no mention of the new maps in the announcement or patch notes....

Arthur Morgan isn’t only the protagonist of Red Dead Redemption 2, one of the most highly-anticipated games of 2018—he’s pretty hilarious too. Good guy or bad guy, he’s definitely got the quips. Along with the beloved John Marston, Arthur is a member of Dutch van der Linde’s gang in 1899 in Red Dead Redemption’s 2018 prequel. It must have been a prerequisite to be brazen in order to be a member of Dutch’s gang, because John isn’t the only sassy protagonist in the Red Dead franchise....

Milestone has announced Ride 2, the sequel to last year’s motorcycle racer heading to PS4, Xbox One and PC this autumn. But that’s about all we know, with the developer simply having posted a teaser video (below) on Twitter earlier today. The game’s website is currently under maintenance, too, meaning further details are hard to come by. Legal blurb at the end of the video, however, states that the game is being both published and developed by Milestone, suggesting the original game’s publisher PQube may not be returning for the sequel....

Rise of the Tomb Raider’s cutscenes will render at a native 1440×1080 resolution on Xbox One, slightly lower than the rest of the game’s 1920×1080 output, Crystal Dynamics has confirmed. Game director Brian Horton confirmed the resolution to Power Up Gaming following earlier reports that the cutscenes would run at an even lower 900p.
