Pokémon Pass is available for Android devices and iPhones starting today....

For the most part, Pokémon fans rejoiced at the announcement of The Isle of Armor and The Crown Tundra, the upcoming DLC for Pokémon Sword And Shield and the first DLC to ever be released for a Pokémon game. That means DLC is uncharted territory for Game Freak, giving the company one big question to answer: how will leveling be handled? Traditionally, Game Freak would release two separate Pokémon games, followed by a third installment....

Rainbow Six Siege has drummed up a whopping 30 million registered players worldwide across PlayStation 4, PC, and Xbox One, Ubisoft has announced. The tactical shooter has proven quite the success story since its launch in 2015, and despite a relatively inauspicious start has gone from strength to strength thanks to some robust and frequent updates from its developers (the game was coded by many of Ubisoft’s studios). There’s no signs of that slowing down either, as Ubisoft recently kicked off Year 3 of Rainbow Six Siege last month with a series of new updates....

Kadokawa Games’ mecha strategy JRPG Relayer received a demo a few days ago, and the developers are gathering feedback. We hear via the game’s official Twitter account that changes are being made to aspects of the game based on feedback from the players.

The team behind the hit action-adventure Control is apparently very busy these days. Remedy Entertainment has confirmed that it has a new game in the early stages of development, marking its sixth project in the works. Remedy did not provide any details on the new project, but we do know that the team is also working on Vanguard, CrossfireX, Crossfire HD, and two more.

For quite a while, Resident Evil was a story about Umbrella, Raccoon City, and the outbreaks in between. Amidst the first three games was a subplot involving Chris Redfield’s disappearance following the end of the first game. This led directly into Code Veronica, the first game to take the series away from the now-destroyed Raccoon City. From there, each subsequent entry would be set somewhere new, with only a few overlaps here and there....

Slitterhead developer Bokeh Game Studio has released a video chat between the creators of Silent Hill and Resident Evil.

Capcom confirmed that the Resident Evil Resistance beta is now available for PC and PlayStation 4 players after matchmaking hiccups prevented them from entering games (via IGN).

Ah, 2002. What a simple year. Sure, we’d just started a war, and another war was looming on the horizon — okay, it wasn’t a simple year. But it did see the release of Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, the best GTA game. If you’ve been wistfully longing for Tommy Vercetti’s Hawaiian shirt for the past 17 years, then you’ll be happy to hear that an ambitious team of modders has painstakingly recreated Vice City in Grand Theft Auto V for your enjoyment....

This review contains spoilers. 4.3 Dog Day Afternoon “There is no single way to tell a story.” Indeed. The most consistent thing over the first 60 episodes of Riverdale is just how inconsistent a show it is. At times, it’s a wildly subversive guilty pleasure. Others, such as in the case of last week’s series low, it frustratingly unravels everything that has been established about these characters to date in order to set up a mystery that may or may not pay off down the line (i....

Picture this: it’s the holiday season of 2020. A pair of hopeful parents are trying to get the newest console for their bright-eyed kid who made the nice list. “Which Xbox do you want, ma’am?” asks the overworked clerk behind the counter. “The One S, the One X, or the Series X?” The parents ask for the cheaper one. And that’s how many Christmases will be ruined by bad naming conventions....
