Red Dead Redemption 2 was a heck of a lot of fun, but it also presented one of the greatest stories ever told in gaming. It really could have been a miniseries, as the story was incredibly complex, morally ambiguous, epic, and thematic. One of the greatest elements of its story were the characters within the Van der Linde gang. The gang was populated with a host of interesting and morally dubious characters, and it was rife with unspoken history and traditions....

Since releasing at E3, the Resident Evil 7 demo has driven some players to madness.

As VideoGamer.com Deputy Editor, Steve Burns explains, this is the current situation with the demo: “In the demo, you have to escape a small farmhouse building, cabin-like in appearance and size.

When we reported on the most recent new trailer for the upcoming anime series Revenger, we knew it would be broadcast in Japan on Jan. 5.

We have now learned that isn’t necessarily the case.

In fact, it’s hard to cover news about one without mentioning the other. And that brings us to today, another chapter in the on-going saga of this, dare I say, friendly rivalry among the two competing ARPG titles. A certain Path of Exile prankster ended up in a bit of legal hot water because of a website’s redirect....
Pendragon is easily one of the oddest and most unique games I’ve played all year. Drawing from some rather varied inspirations — primarily chess and FTL — it’s ostensibly a roguelite turn-based tactical game themed around Arthurian legends. It’s actually a storytelling mechanism which uses turn-based strategy combat to influence and expand on that story. If that doesn’t make sense, don’t worry. For one thing, it took me a little while to wrap my head around the hows and whys of it....
