There's a big difference between announcing your game's date when you're sure it's coming out, and then there's calling your shot so in advance that there's no way you could know. The developers behind S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 have called their shot, saying their game will be ready in three years.

There's a lot to complain about the inner workings of Pokémon GO, and a lot of people have various solutions to them that may or may not pay off. But recently, Niantic finally upgraded something that fans have been yelling about for over a year now. Your bags have been upgraded to carry more items again.

Without question, the latest series of Tomb Raider games have definitely added much more depth to the universe of Laura Croft and her family namesake than a lot of the previous games did. Even if you don't like the progression of the character in the new series, the story is pretty killer.

Finally, after weeks of begging and plenty of trolls making it impossible to get some stuff done, Rare has added a new patch into Sea of Thieves today that will allow you to have private matches in what they called "Closed Crews".

If you're going to make a product, make sure it's on-brand. That's the lesson we've learned from Omin Dran of the Dungeons & Dragons podcast by Penny Arcade, Acquisitions Incorporated. So when we saw they had tapped Elderwood Academy to make some amazing branded dice gear, we were sold.

Square Enix and Koei Tecmo revealed today that Locke Cole, the smart-talking treasure hunter from Final Fantasy VI (or Final Fantasy III for some of you in America) would be joining the cast as the next fighter in Dissidia Final Fantasy NT.

Back in the late '90s, Blame! started off the way a lot of anime series original start, as a manga series produced in Japan. The series grew in popularity with the sci-fi and cyberpunk audiences, to the point where it eventually got a small series run in 2003, and eventually a film on Netflix from Polygon Pictures.

While we all wait for Epic Games to add the 4.2 update to Fortnite after a slight delay, it appears we already have an idea of what one of the major additions is going to be this time around: you'll be getting a new gun.

Clear back in February we saw a trailer from Triband Games for a new golfing game called What The Golf? It basically married the love of golfing games that have become popular with streamers over the past couple years with abstract art and physics to give you a different kind of stroke as you play.

Once in a while, we come across an indie developer title that, while it wouldn't be a very long game for us to review, we do feel like promoting because it's kind of quirky and fun. Yes, we're occasionally Zooey Deschanel when looking at games. The one that got our attention this week is a game called Yard Tale.

Omensight was probably one of the brighter spots of our time at PAX East back in April, and ever since we've been slowly waiting for the game to finally be released today. But along with the game's release comes a brand new launch trailer to show off more of the game to those who haven't seen it yet.

You might be getting just a smidge more extra time with Thanos in Fortnite than you were expecting if the latest tweet from Epic Games is any indication. Early this morning, the company took to Twitter to let fans know that the next update to the game would be delayed due to an issue they wouldn't disclose.

This week in video game releases comes with an interesting array of choices for your gaming needs, as we have a combination of collections, special editions, and indie titles. Honestly, this is a pretty weird gathering of games, but at the same time, it's kinda cool.

In probably what will be one of the coolest and weirdest segments on The Tonight Show this year, the word is out that tonight's episode will feature Ariana Grande and Jimmy Fallon playing several musical instruments that involve the Nintendo Labo set.

It isn't often you hear someone from the gaming industry talk down about people having exclusive games and titles to their brand, but a recent interview with Matt Conte, the head of development engineering at Oculus, says otherwise.

Score a big one for dataminers this week as it was discovered that there are five unreleased costumes sitting in Super Mario Odyssey, and we have zero idea why Nintendo hasn't bothered to make these available yet. Especially when we saw one of them was a zombie!

Some cool news for all you PS1 owners who remember playing the original Guilty Gear, as the game will be coming back to modern consoles for a release on PC, PS4 and Nintendo Switch. The move is to celebrate the game's 20th anniversary, as May 14th, 1998 was the original date the game came out.

Some really cool news has been confirmed today as Yoshinori Kitase, producer of Final Fantasy VII Remake confirmed that Square Enix is working with legendary composer Nobuo Uematsu to create music for the soundtrack to the game.

It's been more than a minute since we heard anything from Boss Key Productions, the people behind the awesome game Lawbreakers that did pretty well a few years ago, as well as the more recent Radical Heights.

We hope you've been enjoying the Thanos addition to Fortnite the past few days, and have had a chance to become the Marvel titan who now is currently scaring the bejesus out of everyone who didn't manage to pick up the glove in time.

As you may or not be aware, Activision and Treyarch are gearing up for a big reveal of Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 this week with a major livestream taking place this Thursday. As part of their attempt to get you interested in it, the company is now teasing it happening on Twitter.

Razer has gone out of their way to make a series of products that basically illuminate your entire desktop setup based on whatever game you may be playing at the time. Headphones, gaming mice, keyboards, even a mouse pad. This time around we're trying out the Razer Nommo Chroma.

A lot of people have been lamenting over the fact that the Virtual Console won't be coming to the Nintendo Switch. But that's okay, because other indie developers are filling the gap with their own retro-themed games, such as Alwa’s Awakening.

To absolutely no one's surprise, we finally got a teaser trailer for Rage 2 from Bethesda Softworks this morning. The one catch to this entire thing that will probably annoy some people is that this is basically just a teaser for another teaser.

After having the date leaked in Brazil over the weekend, Blizzard has come out of the gate swinging this morning with details about Overwatch's next anniversary event for 2018.

Nintendo didn't just make a bunch of classic edition consoles for their primary systems that made a mark globally, they also do it for the ones at home in Japan. Back when the NES Classic Edition was getting attention, the company also released a Famicom Classic Edition for the console that came before it.

It appears Nintendo has finally gotten enough of certain products to reproduce the NES Classic Edition and the SNES Classic Edition, as both mini consolse will be making a return to shelves and the company's shop on June 29th.
