The Arkham series started off on a strong note with Batman: Arkham Asylum . This game toyed with the idea of an open-world formula, before its sequel ended up going all out with this conc

An ambitious, inventive genre that traces its origins to the early days of text-based adventures like Zork and Microsoft Adventure , open-world gaming has become one of the most prevalent genres in all of gaming. Covering all sorts of genres and niches and giving birth to some of the most important games of this generation, open-world gaming usually allows for dozens—if not hundreds—of hours of playt

E3 2019 will be beginning soon, and as always, the show has a ton of rumored appearances. Some of these have recently been confirmed for E3 like Marvel's Avengers and the new Darksiders game, but some are definitely in the air. This doesn't mean there won't be any surprises, but as it stands, E3 has a plethora of announcements that are rumored for the showc

The second game in the series is a brilliant title, even though the open world may seem somewhat barren at times. Without as much to do as in a typical open-world game, players can only go through the story and experience a short yet amazing adventure that will certainly keep them hoo

EA announced a new Dragon Age months ago but hasn't revealed any major information about the game since then. It seems likely that EA and Bioware are waiting until the game is 100% ready to show anything off, especially after the disastrous launches of both Mass Effect: Andromeda and Anthem tarnished the reputation of BioWare, a studio once lauded for its masterful games. Nonetheless, the absence of Dragon Age was felt during the EA Play conference this year, forcing Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order to pick up most of the story-driven sl

It's also worth noting that Playground Games RPG is still in the process of hiring more staff and building a team so a close launch date is certainly out of the question, lest another studio is secretly working on the project. It's also very possible that Fable 4 is being held back so it could launch for the company's next-gen console.

Released on the same day as the hugely underwhelming Assassin's Creedy Unity , Rogue plays like a followup to 2013's Black Flag and feels like an addendum to 2012's Assassin's Creed 3 . Though head and shoulders above some of the less inspired entries in the series, Rogue's world still felt a bit too empty and bland, and it's one of the shortest mainline AC experiences by

Not to rack on video game critics , but often they're wrong, and the community-at-large spares no expense in making sure they know it. So let's take a dive into the world of reviews and shed some light on when the critics undervalued a game and the other times when it was overrated complete

With Dying Light 2 right around the corner, it's only a given that more and more people would want to get into the first game in the series. Players who choose to do so are making a great decision, since Dying Light is one of the most innovative open-world games around. This title combines parkour and zombie killing into one cohesive pack

It has been 11 years since there was an entry in the Destroy All Humans! franchise, but according to a recent rumor, THQ Nordic stands ready to showcase a new game at E3 2019. The last anyone saw of Crypto, he was leaving the Furon Palace when Pox became the emperor. It's unknown if a new game would serve as a sequel to the last game, a reboot, a spin-off, or what, but it's likely to garner tons of attention nonethel

However, when looking at the long list of Microsoft and Sony franchises that could make the jump to next-generation hardware, it's fairly evidently who has the edge. Taking star power and prominent, marketable franchises into account, Sny is packing several massive names that are each easy system sellers. Horizon, Spider-Man, God of War , The Last of Us, Ratchet and Clank, Uncharted; these are all series that are offering fresh, interesting concepts that fans are clamoring to see more of, and that's without even mentioning all the currently dormant franchises that Sony could dip its toes back into as w

Because it was the last great one that actually brought something new to the table and for a long time the last Madden to be playable on PC. So While we promised no other sports games, we're going to have to break that to chastise critics for continually praising the series past this po

Meanwhile, Microsoft can't boast the same number of significant system sellers. Halo: Infinite is undeniably a massive draw, but it's far from something entirely new for the franchise, especially with Microsoft continuing to pump out fairly frequent Halo titles over the past decade. Naturally, Xbox could provide followups to titles like Crackdown 3, Sea of Thieves, and Recore, but very few of these games managed to impress players or build giant fanbases when they launched during the Xbox One's life cy
