Naruto X Boruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm Connections' Voice Actors Question the Game's Voiceovers

Game developers have a problem with this year’s Game Awards.

As a storytelling medium, games are strange. In my day job, I tell students that the medium-specific dimension of games is that they respond to our choices in real time: you press a button, Mario jumps. You choose a line of dialogue, and a scene can suddenly turn violent or comedic. This means that games, especially narrative-focused ones, are simultaneously a way for us to tell a story and a way for us to be told a story. Clara Fernández-Vara and Matthew Weise, in talking about world-building, call the world of a game a “story engine”: by creating a fleshed-out and engaging world, the designer builds story potential, which the player then “actualizes” through their play.

If you were impressed by how good the first GTA 6 trailer looked, you were far from alone: even developers who previously worked at Rockstar were blown away by the level of detail shown.

Baldur’s Gate 3 has won Game of the Year at The Game Awards.

There is no shame in spending your early teen years painting gaming peripherals to make them More Badass. Yet when actor Timothée Chalamet started hitting it big in Hollywood, either he or someone in his inner circle scrubbed away his gamer past.

If Alan Wake 2 didn’t completely melt your face, Poets of the Fall are back to finish the job.

Rise of the Ronin has received a new trailer and a release date at The Game Awards.

As the Greater Chicagoland Area's number one Matthew McConaughey fan and one of its notable BioWare-likers, having him pop up at The Game Awards to announce he'd appear in a new RPG from some BioWare old hands feels tailor-made to make me freak out. The True Detective actor will have an unspecified role in Exodus, the debut game from Archetype Entertainment.
