The 10 Best Sonic Games

-
Image
Few video game characters are as iconic as Sonic the Hedgehog. The speedy little blue blur has been around for over three decades, touching every corner of pop culture along the way, from games, to comics, to TV, to blockbuster movies. But we’re here specifically to celebrate the mainline Sonic game series and pick the best of them. Before we start, let’s quickly touch upon our criteria. We tried to rank these games based on a combination of historical significance, innovation, and how well these games stand the test of time. Some games, like Sonic Adventure 1 and the original Sonic the Hedgehog, for instance, are obviously super important to the Sonic series and set the foundation for both 2D and 3D Sonic games to follow, but we felt like they both didn’t quite hold up as well as their sequels when judged by a modern standard, which was why they just missed this list. The 10 games on this list are the ones we feel are the best examples of both classic and modern Sonic style. So w...

Fall Guys: Over 100 Essential Tips to Survive Every Round

-
Image
Fall Guys is deceptively simple - both in how it plays, and the goals that you and 59 other goofy little beans will fight for. Despite this, it has already become apparent that players will do anything to win the coveted crown. With 24 different stages and pitfalls around every corner, you'll need more than luck to come out on top - and we're here to help. We've compiled tons of tips, tricks, and lesser known pointers on how to have a fighting chance in Fall Guys, though be warned - even the best tips don't always prepare you for a giant banana hurtling towards your face. General Tips and Tricks Though each round is different and may require different tactics to qualify, there are a couple universal tips you should always try to keep in mind: Chaos always wins. Yes it's a bit of grand statement, but it does ring true. Like an unexpected Chance Time in Mario Party, or playing Smash Bros. with items on - you'll need to expect the unexpected.

EA Access and Origin Access Basic to Become EA Play on August 18

-
EA Access and Origin Access subscription game services will both become known as EA Play on August 18, 2020. EA announced the news and revealed the services will get a new look as well, although we have yet to see how drastic of a change it will be. Furthermore, while Origin Access Basic will become EA Play alongside EA Access, Origin Access Premier will change to EA Play Pro. Not much will change for these services, as they will still offer access to various titles, give early access to new games, and provide a 10% discount for members. However, EA promises even more will be added in the coming months for subscribers, including "exclusive in-game challenges and monthly reward drops for members on select titles." [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/07/22/star-wars-squadrons-hands-on-preview-narrow-but-deep-like-the-trench-run"] If EA Play sounds familiar, it's because the company's annual live events have been previously called EA Play.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and Warzone Update Has Fixed Weapon Glitches

-
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and Warzone's latest patch has fixed the issue of weapon models corrupting on screen. This issue started happening earlier this week and would occasionally turn players' guns into terrifying black cubes that made it very difficult to see and play a proper match. The download size for the PS4 is only 1.2 GB, and PC owners will only have to download either a 0.88 GB (F2P Only) or 1.83 GB (Full Game) file, but Xbox One players will have to download a much bigger, 66.3 GB file due to an "unforeseen bug with the Microsoft patch delivery process." [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/08/10/cod-warzones-terrifying-new-glitch-introduced-in-latest-update"] Due to this bug, Xbox users will need to re-download certain files they already have installed, but it's important to note that this will "NOT impact the overall install size." Infinity Ward also promises it is working closely with Microsoft to ensure future up...

A (Brief) History of Star Wars Games

-
Welcome to Star Wars Week, where we're celebrating all things from that galaxy far, far away. From retrospectives on old favorites to explainers on timely topics to Face-Offs between beloved characters and beyond,  Star Wars Week  features articles, videos, slideshows and more on the beloved franchise. [poilib element="accentDivider"] No film franchise has had a more complicated relationship with video games than Star Wars. The Force has been adapted to home consoles ever since the original trilogies were playing in theaters, and in that time we've watched the license change multiple publishing hands, enter several elongated peaks and valleys, establish the bedrock for LucasArts' golden age, and fill in the many empty spaces left wide open in that galaxy far, far away. We played through the existential probings of KOTOR 2 and the razor-sharp simulations of X-Wing, only to watch those games get dubbed non-canon by the powers that be at Disney. We fed a fortune o...

I Was Supposed to Compete in the Pokemon World Championships Today

-
Image
I was supposed to compete in the 2020 Pokemon World Championships today. Originally scheduled to kick off on August 14 and run through the weekend, the event would have brought together hundreds of pro Pokemon players to see who was the very best like no one ever was. It was meant to be held in London as a thematic tie-in to the new Galar region from Pokemon Sword and Shield inspired by Great Britain. But as we all know, the coronavirus pandemic has caused the cancellation of not only gaming events around the globe but sports, movies, and pretty much everything else. It goes without saying that during these troubling times there are much, much worse things to worry about than having your Pokemon tournament canceled. Still, as I sit isolated in my tiny Los Angeles studio apartment instead of a convention center on the other side of the world filled with fellow Pokemaniacs, I can’t help but reflect on the strange turn my Pokemon journey has taken.

Three Billion People Worldwide Now Play Video Games, New Report Shows

-
Image
A new report by DFC Intelligence has revealed that, as of mid-2020, there are nearly 3.1 billion global video game consumers. With nearly 8 billion people around the world, this means that about 40% of of our population plays video games of some form. The fastest growing segment of these consumers are those who only play games on their smartphones. This accounts for almost half of all video game consumers. Of those nearly 3.1 billion players, only about 8% are dedicated console consumers, but this group has the highest per-user spending. 1.5 billion, or 48% of global video game consumers, are PC game consumers. It's important to note, however, that "this includes some overlap with gamers that also use console systems and mobile devices." [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=top-10-best-selling-video-games-of-all-time&captions=true"] DFC's report also breaks down where these video game consumers live.

Opinion: Epic is Weaponizing Fortnite Fans Against Apple & Google

-
Five years ago, it seemed improbable that Fortnite would become the biggest game in the world . Epic’s cartoony third-person shooter has morphed over the years from a tower defense multiplayer game to a battle royale to a social platform that hosts blockbuster movies , forums on race relations , and major concerts . The title has transcended its humble beginnings and, paired with that exponential growth, has become large enough to act as its own lobbyist for Epic’s interests. On August 13, Epic used Fortnite as a megaphone to essentially declare war on Apple and Google, two of the several hands in Epic’s pockets, and may have initiated a series of events that could massively change the way games are distributed . More impressively, however, they did it in such a way that all but ensures Epic wins (either legally or in the court of public opinion) regardless of what happens. The company has not only positioned themselves to massively benefit from this lawsuit, but have done so while e...

With the freshly released  DC FanDome schedule finally confirming that the title of Rocksteady’s new DC video game is Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League , we’re left to ponder how and why these two iconic teams will be pitted against one another. The title brings to mind a certain 2017 comic book mini-series called Justice League vs. Suicide Squad, so by diving into that comic event, we may glean some details about possible playable characters, hero bosses, surprise villains, and more. The comic was written by Joshua Williamson with art by Jason Fabok, Jesús Merino, Fernando Pasarin, Robson Rocha, and Howard Porter. Warning: full spoilers for Justice League vs. Suicide Squad ahead!
