Sinnoh is the region where the Legendary Pokémon of Time and Space reside. A recurring trend in Pokémon games since Red and Blue is how important the towns relate to their respective games’ overall themes. Generation 4 marked a significant turn in the franchise’s trajectory. New moves and abilities shook up the gameplay. New Formes and evolutions for fan favorites were introduced. The stakes are high with the protagonist needing to stop a man from destroying reality....

It’s been three years since Pokémon GO was released upon the unsuspecting public to unprecedented success. While the game has always had a dedicated following, it seemed like the heyday of the revolutionary mobile app had long since passed. However, thanks to some savvy event planning, Pokémon GO has earned more money than it has in any month since its release. The summer of 2016 was a strange time to be out and about in the world....

Pokémon Go’s Unown is one of the more elusive creatures from Gen 2, having already reached near mythical status among players. As well as being an incredibly rare Pokémon spawn, Unown only tends to appear during special events in Pokémon Go, such as the annual Go Fest and Safari Zone. It can also be made available in Eggs as part of global events - such as the Ultra Bonus unlock in September 2019, when the glyphs U, L, T, R and A were available....

Pokémon Go developer Niantic Labs has been showing off a technical demo that shows the possibility of the hugely popular mobile game being played on a Microsoft HoloLens headset. As detailed via the developer’s blog, the proof-of-concept demo isn’t intended for consumer use nor is it confirmation of any kind of official release, but is intended as a demonstration for what Niantic describe as “an early glimpse into the future evolutions in both software and hardware....

One of the things that has made Pokemon GO remain popular in the years since its launch is the game’s dedication to constant improvement and updates. The mobile AR experience was far from perfect when it launched, but the devs have listened to player feedback and made many updates both to fix existing systems and add brand new features that were missing at launch. The latest of these major updates has been a total overhaul of the Pokemon GO Buddy System....

If you’ve played through all of Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, and you still haven’t had your fill of the Pokemon world, you’re in luck. Pokemon Legends Arceus is finally out for the Switch, taking players to the Hisui region where they’ll get to see the pioneers of the Pokemon trainers and Galaxy Team as they fill out the Pokedex. If you’re wondering how exp share works in Pokemon Legends Arceus, here’s everything you need to know....

Hello! Once again Eurogamer is marking Pride Month - on this, its 50th anniversary year - with a week of features celebrating the intersection of queer culture and gaming. This morning, Dr Lloyd (Meadhbh) Houston issues a battlecry, of sorts, to make cyberpunk queer (again). And while we have you here, if you’ve been eagerly awaiting a restock of Eurogamer’s Pride t-shirts, we’re happy to report that more - in two ravishing variants - are now available for purchase....

A series of free cars will be released for Project CARS each month after launch, developer Slightly Mad Studios has announced. The first car, the Lykan Hypersport, will be available following the game’s launch in May, although it isn’t yet clear how many cars Slightly Mad plans to roll out. “We are immensely pleased to have this awesome machine in the game and to give fans the chance to get behind the wheel of a truly amazing vehicle,” commented creative director Andy Tudor....

PUBG just received the 5.3 update on PC, which means not a whole lot in terms of content and features but lots of blood. There is a system for proper blood splatter, at long last. More than the simple, red-blooded appreciation of gore, this does have a logistical advantage. If you shoot other players in the head or the neck, you will get a feedback of red spray that you wouldn’t from a body shot....

The mobile version of chicken dinner-giving shooter PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds has been patched with a bunch of new features this week, developer PUBG Corp. has confirmed. There’s now a first-person mode for the battle royale title, which was previously available on other versions of the game. PUBG Mobile update 0.6.0 also includes a new Mini-Zone Arcade Mode, which mixes things up by plonking gamers into a smaller circle featuring three times the number of weapons....

Shooter games have a lot of shooting, obviously, but players need markers to know whether they are hitting their targets or not. Some shooter games have hit-markers that denote a successful shot, while some games simply show a blood splatter every time a shot connects with another character. PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds uses this system, with each successful shot in PUBG being indicated by blood coming off the target. These blood-splatter effects are important for players to know whether they are hitting their targets from long ranges, and PUBG Corp....

Developed by Kuro Games, Punishing: Gray Raven is an action-RPG gacha game that’s garnered quite a bit of popularity in the community. Kuro Games also recently announced Wuthering Waves, an MMORPG with similar action combat elements, so folks who are waiting for that game might be interested in checking out PGR in the meantime. The developers have just announced that Punishing: Gray Raven will be getting a NieR: Automata collaboration event next month, adding 2B, A2, and 9S to the roster....

How did we end up here? It all started with a Walmart leak that nobody really believed would amount to anything. Then Bethesda replied to the Tweet in a fine shade of pink, which made us laugh. Then came the Big Ben and rocket teasers, again featuring lots of pink, which made people actually sit up and take notice. Could Rage 2 actually be a thing after all? Like, seriously? Well, it is....

The One Piece story is set to kick off and wrap up some pivotal arcs this coming year, and it all starts with chapter 1072. Alliances could be formed, enemies could become friends, and major revelations could push the Straw Hats toward unknown destinations and fated confrontations. But then, this is all just speculation, and what you’re after are firm facts. That’s why we’ve compiled this guide covering the release date and spoilers for One Piece chapter 1072....

Back in 1999, publisher Infogrames released an action-adventure game titled Outcast on Windows. Critics gave the game plenty of praise back then, and those positive sentiments remain just as strong today, mostly because of its open-ended exploration that many considered ahead of its time. Over a decade later in 2014, a remaster of Outcast, dubbed Outcast 1.1, became available on GOG, which allowed newer generations to more easily experience a renowned classic, and with modern touch-ups to boot....

This review of Reprisal contains no spoilers. In the era of Peak TV, it’s easy to assume that we probably don’t need another tale of revenge, divided families that do one another wrong, and the unforeseen consequences of years-long vendettas. And maybe we don’t—which is why it’s a good thing that Hulu’s Reprisal manages to put what feels like a truly fresh spin on this sort of story. The bones of Reprisal are indeed built from very familiar pieces....

There were more than a few standout characters in the original Resident Evil 2. Claire Redfield and Leon S. Kennedy are two who have reappeared over the course of the franchise, having their start with humble beginnings. One thing that both of them encountered during their introduction to the series was the enemy known as Lickers. Of course, Capcom is bringing these beasts back for the Resident Evil 2 remake. They released a new gameplay trailer today to show off just how terrifying these old foes still are....

In order to progress in Resident Evil Village, you’ll need to find the Mask of Joy. But you’ll need something else first. The mask of joy is located behind the iron insignia door, which can be found upstairs after entering the door that requires the Dimitrescu key on the left. To get the iron insignia key, simply go all the way downstairs and approach the piano. You’ll see some notes on sheet music....

To understand exactly where and why Paranoia: Happiness Is Mandatory goes wrong, you need to know what Paranoia is. And that’s not me threatening you by saying I’m going to hide in your cupboard one night or something; I mean the base setting. You see, in theory, an isometric RPG based on a pen-and-paper role-playing game sounds like it’d be perfect. After all, that would just follow in the footsteps of Baldur’s Gate, Planescape: Torment, and practically every other D&D game that made a splash....

There’s so much to sink your teeth into in Persona 4 Golden. From solving the murder mystery, through to making lunches and building your social links with other characters.

This requires players to ‘Enter a special relationship with someone.’ In this guide, we’ll talk you through every character you can romance in Persona 4 Golden, as well as how to successfully romance them....
