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...

Sky: The Two Embers Teaser Shows Off the Animated Series Based on Sky: Children of the Light

-
Journey developer thatgamecompany has revealed a new look and title for Sky: The Two Embers, its upcoming animated series arriving in 2024 that's based on the world and lore of Sky: Children of the Light. Sky: Children of the Light is thatgamecompany's follow-up to 2012's Journey and is a social adventure that tasks you and your friends to restore a fallen kingdom above the clouds to its former glory. To do so, players will explore seven realms, solve puzzles, fly through the sky, and work together with others to push back the darkness and bring back the light. As for the new series, we only catch a small glimpse, but it has a striking art style and teases that "a new world awaits." While the story has yet to be fully revealed, it looks as though the main characters may need to search for a new home after a war or some threat comes to their doorstep. That threat is seen via a striking shot in the rain of a dragon-like creature flying above an army of sorts. ...

Check Out 19 Minutes of Boss Battles and Gameplay From Black Myth: Wukong

-
If you can't seem to get enough of Black Myth: Wukong, we're happy to report we've got a brand-new 19-minute video of the game in action that's filled with boss battles, inventive enemies, intense action, and much more. This footage is from a gameplay session we had at gamescom 2023, and we came away very impressed and proudly proclaimed this slice of the game felt as good as it looks. Black Myth: Wukong had a big presence at gamescom 2023 and beyond, as it got a brand-new trailer during Opening Night Live. And that followed our hands-on preview from just before gamescom, meaning developer Game Science must feel good about where the game is at as it has been in the spotlight a lot this month. In our Black Myth: Wukong hands-on preview at gamescom, we said, "It’s shaping up to be one of the most exciting action RPGs of the soulslike era, one with its own fresh approach to challenge, pace, and abilities. "What remains to be seen is how developer Game S...

Black Myth: Wukong’s Combat Feels As Good as It Looks | gamescom 2023

-
When it was revealed to the world back in 2020, Black Myth: Wukong set the soulslike community on fire. And with each new gameplay video, that fire burned hotter and brighter. Among a growing crowd of FromSoftware imitators, Black Myth: Wukong stood out thanks to what appeared to be lightning-fast, responsive combat that doesn’t fall into the staple sword-and-board rhythms the genre found its feet with. But that impression has always been based on what we’ve watched. Now, after actually playing 30 minutes of Black Myth at gamescom 2023, I’m thrilled to report that seeing really can be believing. It genuinely does feel as good as it looks. First, let’s address where Black Myth: Wukong sits along the action RPG spectrum. While it definitely falls under the soulslike umbrella thanks to its punishing centre-piece boss fights and bonfire-like checkpointing, Black Myth isn’t directly comparable to any FromSoft game. It sits somewhere between Sekiro and Bloodborne; it has the relentless s...

Nightingale is Survival of the Grandest Scale | Gamescom 2023

-
In most survival games you’re lucky if you have a shelter fashioned from a few sticks and leaves. Maybe a little fire you can use to cook nasty-tasting berries that do just enough to keep hunger at bay. And while Nightingale starts off in a similar way, with little more than a handful of sticks and stones to keep you alive, it’s not long until you’re able to build something altogether more impressive. Axes are pretty simple to craft early on and are extremely useful for chopping down trees, which can then be turned into logs. Before long you have enough to build a simple log cabin; nothing too fancy, but it provides shelter from both the elements and the local wildlife. It looks quick and simple to make too; although I wasn’t able to play Nightingale at gamescom 2023, the developers did showcase how it’s created a simplified crafting system designed to make building anything – from simple tools to impressive buildings – quick and easy. So much so, in fact, that within a few minutes ...

Alan Wake 2 Interview: Sam Lake Didn't Want to go 'Neck and Neck' With Spider-Man 2 | gamescom 2023

-
Remedy Entertainment has come a long way since the original Alan Wake released on Xbox 360 way back in 2010. In the intervening 13 years, Remedy has released Control, built up a universe, and fully established itself as one of gaming's sharpest and most ambitious big-budget developers. With Alan Wake 2 set to arrive in October, we took a moment to sit down with creator Sam Lake at gamescom 2023 to talk horror instructions, not wanting to go neck and neck, and the need for a little bit of comedy in your horror games. Read on for the full interview, and make sure to check out our hands-on preview as well as our recap of all of our gamescom 2023 coverage so far . Sam, Alan Wake 2 looks incredible. We got a brand new trailer last night, which really messed me up because it actually took me a bit to figure out what was live action and what was in-game. So bravo. Tell me about how that came together, the decisions behind using real footage and in-game footage. It all melted togethe...

Starfield Leaker Arrested After Stealing and Allegedly Trying to Sell Copies of Bethesda's RPG

-
The man who leaked the first 40 minutes or so of Bethesda’s highly anticipated RPG Starfield was arrested yesterday – not for leaking spoilers per se, but because of his theft of the game. As first reported by Kotaku , 29-year-old Darrin Harris was booked yesterday in Shelby County, Tennessee, on a felony charge of theft of property costing $2500-10,000, a misdemeanor charge of theft of property $1000 or less, and another misdemeanor charge of possession of marijuana, per information on the Shelby County Sheriff’s Office website. IGN has obtained the incident report of the arrest, which lists the stolen property as "Video Game: Microsoft Starfield unreleased game."
