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...

-
Today, you can already save $10 off the recently-released PlayStation 5 exclusive Forspoken. Today's other daily deals include a powerful AMD Radeon RX 6800 GPU (RTX 3080 equivalent), the top-of-the-line AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX GPU (RTX 4080 equivalent), the diminutive Cooler Master NR200P mini ITX case, an Alienware m15 R7 RTX 3070 equipped gaming laptop, and more. $10 Off Forspoken for PS5 Forspoken was released earlier this week and already we're seeing a discount for it. Pick it up from Amazon for $59.99, a $10 discount from it's original $70 MSRP. Forspoken is a current-gen only game that's not available for the PS4.

Marvel Snap Player Hits Max Collection Level in What Dev Calls a 'World First'

-
Image
A Marvel Snap player has achieved a truly Marvel -ous feat by reaching the end of the Collection Level track and seemingly becoming the first player in the world to do so. Spotted by @SnapDecks on Twitter, a player by the in-game name Aaron has reached the end of his progression in Marvel Snap, halting his progress and gaining the attention of the development team at Second Dinnner. What happens when you finish the Collection Level? In what is being called a "World's First" by the devs, a snap player with the in-game name of Aaron has hit the end of the road and, until it is increased, can no longer open caches. Attached is a video of the achievement. pic.twitter.com/XBB9lGoCLO — Marvel Snap Decks (@SnapDecks) January 26, 2023 In the short video posted with the tweet, we can see Aaron has maxed out at CL 22,366, a number the vast majority of Marvel Snap players will likely never reach. Aaron created a post in the official Marvel Snap Discord to bring attention t...

A Space for the Unbound Took Me on an Emotional, Nostalgic Anime Pilgrimage

-
Since late 2021, I’ve been tinkering away at a little column here on IGN.com highlighting indie games I thought were neat. It’s been running quietly away on Saturday afternoons, throwing spotlights on little games and developers that weren’t otherwise getting a lot of attention from mainstream gaming sites like ours. I’m proud of that coverage up to today, but today I’m extra proud, because my quiet year-plus efforts are about to get much, much louder. My little column today joins a much larger IGN initiative to bring editorial columns of all varieties into the spotlight. Which means I get to take a moment to wax poetic about what my corner of this initiative is actually all about. Indie game coverage is always a tricky question to answer, especially on sites like this one. With a large audience that rightfully expects us to cover all the biggest beats across games and entertainment every day, combined with the massive size of both industries, it’s inevitable that the vast majorit...

nOS is a New Switch App That Turns the Console Into a Mini Tablet

-
The Nintendo Switch has notably less customization features and apps than its Nintendo handheld predecessors — themes aren't customizable beyond two simple colors, users can't rearrange their home screens, and it lacks a note-taking feature like the 3DS' Game Notes app. But today, indie developer and publisher RedDeerGames released nOS: New Operating System , an app for the Switch that seems to bring back some of these little widgets that the console is missing, all in one tiny OS. The app contains all of the bits and bobs that come with modern operating systems: a calculator, a gallery, a notebook, a to-do list, an MS Paint-like drawing app, a puzzle game, and customizeable settings. Like any modern OS, users are able to open multiple windows at once, giving them the ability to multitask, though it doesn't currently have a browser or any other features. According to the game's press kit, it's currently on sale for $1.99 until February 16, though it's ...

YouTuber's Pet Fish Streams Pokemon, Then Commits Credit Card Fraud

-
YouTuber Mutekimaru Channel is well-known for livestreaming their pet fish playing various games through motion tracking software, which registers the pets' positions as button inputs. The fish have accomplished some pretty impressive things during these streams — in 2020, they even beat Pokemon Sapphire after a 3,195 hour run. But earlier this month, their fish did what no fish has (hopefully) done before: commit credit card fraud. During a livestream 12 days ago, the fish were off to a good start in Pokemon Violet , winning a few battles and slowly but surely progressing through the story. About 5 hours into the stream, however, the game crashed, giving the fish free access to the rest of their owner's Switch. These fish committed credit card fraud while playing Pokémon. 💳🐟🐟🐟🐟 pic.twitter.com/w0TgKgJSUL — IGN (@IGN) January 25, 2023 From there, the fish went to the eShop and added 500 yen (about $3.85) of funds to their owner's account, even exposing their...

The Best PS5 Games

-
Image
It's been another extraordinary start to a console generation for PlayStation, with PS5 selling 30 million units to date despite significant hardware shortages — an issue that Sony says has now been remedied. PlayStation has once again found success with solid hardware and a steady stream of excellent exclusives complemented by its revamped PlayStation Plus . To help you sort through the current next-gen catalog, we've compiled this list of the 25 best PS5 games you can play right now. Our list is updated to feature all PS5 games — no more PS4 backward-compatible games. Our main qualifier now is that, given how many cross-gen games there are, games on this list have to have a dedicated next-gen version available. Some games make excellent use of the DualSense controller ’s innovative haptic feedback, others will make your gaming TV shine with 4K gameplay, and some are just plain great games. Without further ado, here are our updated picks for the 25 best PS5 games. Mos...

What Dead Space Gets Right That The Callisto Protocol Got Wrong

-
You know how it is – you go years without a sci-fi survival horror game set in the distant depths of space, and then two arrive in consecutive months. The first, The Callisto Protocol, a spiritual successor to the Dead Space series helmed by Dead Space creator Glen Schofield and reportedly endowed with a monster development budget, released this past December with notable performance issues and ultimately failed to hit its sales targets . The second, a remake of the original 2008 Dead Space crafted with considerable care and creativity by Motive Studio, arrived this past week and managed to outdo the original in almost every way . Earlier in 2022, Schofield was quoted as being “kind of bummed” about not having any involvement in remaking the seminal survival horror game that put his name on the map. One can only wonder how he’s feeling now. To be clear, I enjoyed my time overall with The Callisto Protocol, even though I felt a number of issues ultimately held it back from greatnes...
