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...

Alan Wake 2: Release Date, Gameplay Updates, Story Details, and Latest News

-
Image
13 (real-world and in-game) years have passed since we left Alan Wake in the Dark Place. The 2010 action game/psychological thriller gained a cult following thanks to a compelling narrative that blends Stephen King-esque psychological mystery with the quirky charm and evocative surrealism of Twin Peaks. In the decade-plus since, Remedy has grown to become one of the industry’s premier development studios, and now it’s writing an all-new chapter with its first survival-horror game, Alan Wake 2. Ahead of the sequel’s upcoming release, we’ve compiled this comprehensive overview of everything we know about Alan Wake 2, including a release date, platforms, price, gameplay updates, story details, and more.

El Paso, Elsewhere Wears Its Bloodstained Heartbreak on Its Sleeve

-
There’s a moment at the very beginning of El Paso, Elsewhere, where the protagonist James Savage leans over the hood of a car pulled over in the middle of nowhere and makes a plea directly to the player. “I need you to believe…that I’m going to get back into this car, on the count of three, and stop my ex before she destroys us all. I need to know that you believe, so I can too.” He slowly counts to three, and in a blink, he’s in the El Paso hotel where she lies in wait. “Well,” he says, as if pleasantly surprised. “Here’s to believing.” The parallels between this specific moment of James’ opening monologue and the story told to me by Strange Scaffold studio head Xalavier Nelson Jr. of the game’s development aren’t lost on me. He’s worked on over 80 projects in the past eight years, he tells me over a video call, across video games, comics, and tabletop, AAA and indie, licensed and original IP. His studio, Strange Scaffold, was founded out of a “deep passion for advocating to make g...

This Is Why I Shouldn’t Have the Power to Design My Own Pokémon Shirt

-
You’re reading the fourth chapter of my eight-day travelog recounting my unbelievable trip to Japan to cover the 2023 Pokémon World Championships. If you already haven't, be sure to check out the other chapters: Day 1: The Birthplace of Pokémon Day 2: Pokémon Sweets and Unbearable Heat Day 3: Creature Feature Day 4 - Psyduck Fan, Unleashed 7:45 am - I wake up actually feeling rested for the first time since we got to Japan. The first stop of the day is to Pokémon Center Shibuya, and then we’ll be set free to explore the area, shop, and eat, so I figure I should have a light breakfast. I go to the buffet and grab a Malasada donut, Spanish omelet, croissant, orange slices, berry pastry, chocolate pastry, coffee, orange juice, thin pancakes with berries, and a piping-hot slice of lasagna. 8:25 am - We pile onto the bus and start our journey to Shibuya. It strikes me how this is our fourth day here and the World Championships haven’t even started, yet we’ve seen and done ...

Counter-Strike 2 Players Express Disappointment as Many of CS:GO's Key Features Disappear

-
After a surprise announcement earlier this year, Valve surprised players once again by suddenly releasing Counter-Strike 2 as an update to Counter-Strike: Global Offensive on Wednesday after a long beta period. Along with several new gameplay aspects, Counter-Strike 2 brings a few major changes, like weapon refunds and overhauled graphics , to the model that helped its predecessor become one of the most-played Steam games of all time. Unfortunately for quite a few players, though, the original Counter-Strike: Global Offensive was completely replaced by Counter-Strike 2 (aside from being playable as an offline "demo"), which seems to be missing quite a few beloved features from the original game. Now, players caught off guard are taking to Reddit and X/Twitter to share their concerns about the game’s current state. Just hours after CS2’s release, players began taking note of missing features. Reddit user u/cosmictrigger01 compiled a list of larger aspects of CS:GO that...

Best Anime Series on Netflix Right Now (October 2023)

-
Image
October on Netflix is a light month, only three new additions to the anime library. But that’s likely due to the jam-packed release schedule from the past month. But the three new series dropping this month are certain to excite fans. The streamer proved it is capable of both respecting the source material and making a dynamic live-action adaptation of One Piece. Then showcased how to add to a franchise without cannibalizing itself with Castlevania: Nocturne. So it makes sense that October’s a light month. There’s plenty to catch up on before jumping into the three highly anticipated new shows, Good Night World , Captain Laserhawk, and Pluto, dropping this month. The most well-known entries on the list showcase the diversity of the shonen genre . But those battle action narratives aren’t the only good shows to be found in the streamer’s library. This month’s entries on the list veer left into sci-fi thrillers and supernatural horror to point out two shows often overlooked or buried...
