It’s Pokémon Day, the annual celebration of everything Pokémon that’s timed to the original launch of Pokémon Red and Pokémon Green in Japan on Feb. 27, 1996. The Pokémon Company started celebrating the 1996 release date officially in 2016 and has hosted events every year since, making Feb. 27 one of the more important days on the Pokémon fan calendar. Typically, we get a Pokémon Presents broadcast on Pokémon Day, and this year is no different: Pokémon Presents debuted at 9 a.m. EST and showed off a whole new era of Pokémon.

Colossal Order CEO Mariina Hallikainen has responded to several community questions, which mostly just ask when players will be able to enjoy modding and why it wasn't available at release. 

Hotly anticipated city builder Cities Skylines 2 launched on PC via Steam in October and immediately ran into a number of issues developer Colossal Order has struggled to get on top of in the months since. Now, with player sentiment turning a ‘mixed’ Steam user review rating into ‘mostly negative’ for recent reviews, and with the first Cities Skylines game with more players than its sequel on PC, the boss of Colossal Order has issued a message to disgruntled players designed to address chief concerns.

One Baldur’s Gate 3 fan created the entire journey on one large map, which sounds impossible at first. But once you see it, you’ll be surprised just how compact these maps can look. After many weeks of hard work, this fan’s art has gone viral on Reddit.

The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live has finally started airing and with it, we've reunited with everyone's favorite apocalypse survivors Rick and Michonne.

As soldiers and citizens provide information from the front lines and affected areas of the war in Ukraine – two years old as of February 24, 2024 – in quasi-real time, an active open-source intelligence community has formed to keep track of troop activity, destruction and other aspects of the war.

In the end, we know about as much as when we started. Expats, whose first episode started with some open-ended reunions — first a more charged one between Margaret (Nicole Kidman) and Mercy (Ji-young Yoo), and later a calmer, sadder meet-up between Hilary (Sarayu Blue) and Margaret — has left off with those same characters coming together, and the same indefinite feeling permeating their meetings.

Games Operators and Jutsu Games have announced that their zombie apocalypse survival management game, Infection Free Zone, will enter early access on April 11, 2024.

I’ve been really excited about Fantasy Life ever since it was announced for Nintendo Switch. Fantasy Life on the Nintendo 3DS was one of my favourite games on that platform, and I played it a ton, potentially too much! The unfortunate news from the Nintendo Partner Showcase, however, was that we would need to wait until October to get our hands on the newest title in the series!

We're well past the midpoint of the week and are now hurtling towards some very important things. Obviously, there's the weekend to consider, but we're also in the vicinity of FFVII Rebirth's review embargo lift. My advice: peruse the amazing deals below, lock in some purchases for Saturday, and then go offline until the 29th. It's gonna be spoiler city soon.

Upcoming action-RPG Sand Land, which is based on the manga series from Dragon Ball creator Akira Toriyama, has received a lengthy overview trailer showcasing even more elements that players can look forward to when it launches.

Rockstar Games is gearing up for the launch of its next big game in 2025. Grand Theft Auto 6 or GTA 6 is an upcoming open-world action-adventure video game and a sequel to 2013's GTA 5. The GTA 6 trailer premiered last year and broke the record for most views in 24 hours for a non-music video. While it gave us the first glimpse into the world of GTA 6, there's not much information about what could the game offer. That said, leaks and rumours suggest several groundbreaking features in line. Here's everything we know about GTA 6 so far.

After Asteroid 2024 CK5 passed Earth by a close margin a few days ago, NASA has issued yet another asteroid warning. As many as four space rocks are approaching the planet at breakneck speeds and will fly past Earth closely tomorrow, February 22. While these asteroids can sometimes come even closer to Earth than the Moon, most of them do not pose any threat and pass by relatively safely. Still, the space agencies continue to monitor their orbits for any potential collision scenarios. Know all about the close encounter with the asteroid.

I was already on board with Sand Land's beautiful open world, based on the relatively obscure manga from Dragon Ball creator Akira Toriyama. Cynics might point to Bandai Namco precedent and say Sand Land is on track to be yet another middling adaptation appealing only to hardcore fans, ala Dragon Ball Kakarot, but I personally gravitate to the almost comfortable consistency in the publisher's vibrant worlds and simple but satisfying gameplay.

MY.GAMES, a prominent European video game developer and publisher, has unveiled an exciting update for its mobile RPG survival strategy title, Zero City. The latest patch introduces a significant addition to the game: the Colossi. These are a group of fighters that players can recruit to bolster their efforts against the relentless zombie horde.

Dead by Daylight players are getting something new coming their way next month. This latest chapter is called All Things Wicked, and with it comes a new survivor, killer, and a brand new map location. That should spark quite a bit of interest within the community as we’ve been waiting on the big reveal of the next chapter. Fortunately, the trailer has dropped, and you can view it below. 

Italian developer Untold Games has announced City 20, a new systems-driven city simulator set in a post-apocalyptic world in which the city will adapt to your actions, good or bad, as you attempt to survive in what's left of the world. It's in development for PC, with an Early Access release scheduled for later this year. Take a look at the announcement trailer above and the first screenshots in the gallery below.

I'm a deep admirer of the cult strategy game series Mount & Blade, in which you build and control an army across the plains of Europe. Kingmakers, announced earlier today, looks like it'll scratch that particular itch pretty successfully, but I need you to watch the trailer before I tell you anything else about it. 

Sony’s continuing to bring a hearty helping of emulated classics to PS5 and PS4 courtesy of its PS Plus Premium subscription, and alongside Resistance Retribution, it’ll be adding Jet Moto 2 from 20th February. The original game in the SingleTrac series is already available on the Japanese giant’s contemporary consoles, but this sequel is much more ambitious, with zanier course designs including an active volcano and a dilapidated American city.

After over five years in development, developer Inflexion Games is set to release its whimsical survival-crafting title Nightingale. Earlier this month I spoke with three Inflexion Games developers—CEO Aaryn Flynn, Director of Production Leah Summers, and Art Director and Head of Audio Neil Thompson—about the upcoming release, the road to get there, and the road ahead.

When Harry Met Sally is one of the best and most beloved rom-coms of all time, but director Rob Reiner recently revealed that the movie could have had a very different ending. 

League of Legends is a competitive game that demands concentration, focus, and knowledge of both the champion and the map. By contrast,Bandle Tale: A League of Legends Story is a cheerful crafting RPG that’s equal parts whimsical and satisfying. Bandle Tale stars a Yordle, a furry little fae-style creature who lives in the realm of Bandle City. A party goes haywire, and the portal network connecting the islands of Bandle City falls apart. Luckily, the protagonist has just completed a hundred-year apprenticeship that lends them the ability to magically knit the portals back together — with a little training, elbow grease, and can-do thinking.

I have my usual eclectic list of bargain games worth buying today. That said, here's a personal recommendation for you: become a bounty hunter in Huntdown and make a healthy living (by making living unhealthy). In the same side-scrolling, hyper-violent, and co-optastic vein, Broforce is going for cheap, too. Spectacular '80s action movie vibes for both games, much like the reduced RoboCop: Rogue City on offer.

An ex-Rockstar Games developer has explained why the moon changed sizes when you shot at it in Grand Theft Auto 3 and the rest of the classic trilogy.

Though there’s certainly a glut of Roguelike, Rogue-lite, and wannabe Rogue-lite titles on the market, few games embrace the concept of procedural generation to quite the same extent as Streets of Rogue and its upcoming sequel do. That is precisely what the developer Matt Dabrowski’s latest developer vlog focuses on.

Since its inception, Grand Theft Auto has always built itself on humour. In the 2D days that was the simple, darkly funny premise of mowing down pedestrians – the stuff that fuelled Carmageddon’s popularity and notoriety. In the years since, the jokes have become more sophisticated, building into a blunt satire of the United States of America.

Sony’s newest Marvel movie is about a spider-themed hero, but without the web-slinging or super-strength. Madame Webfollows Cassandra Webb (Dakota Johnson), an ordinary New York City paramedic who learns she has precognitive powers after a near-death experience.

A state-of-the-art airship hovers above a vast toxic dust cloud, shrouding an ecologically devastated Earth. That’s what most people notice when they see Forever Skies for the first time. And while this creates an interesting and unique premise to explore, it’s one that was inspired by rather somber real-world circumstances.

Last year, GamesReviews had the pleasure of previewing one of Tin Robot Games titles called Cities of Venus. It was a fantastic worker placement game where players built out their space ships and tried to score the most points. We praised the game for easy to understand mechanics, as well as fantastic components and production value. The game successfully funded on Kickstarter, and Tin Robot Games is heading back to the crowd funding platform for their upcoming game called Garden Geckos! Let’s take a look at what comes in the box, and review the quality of these components!

It was always going to be a tall order for Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League to emerge from the shadow of the mighty Arkham series. From an architectural perspective the game has moved from Unreal Engine 3 to 4, while from an art and style perspective think more multi-coloured Marvel comics than a dark DC tome. From the bright sunshine across Gotham City and vibrant greens, reds and purples, each character and enemy stand in stark contrast to the subtle and muted tones of Rocksteady’s prior games. The same wide-open city is available to you early on, and each of the 4 playable characters have their own unique and fast means of travel. However, this presents one of our biggest issues when it comes to performance.

Deciding the 10 best DC video games requires superhuman stamina, because there a lot to choose from! DC Comics characters have been showing up in games since the very beginning, starting with Superman for the Atari 2600 way back in 1979 — just a year after Christopher Reeve’s iconic movie performance hit theaters. Since then, the number of DC games has flown up, up, and away, with over a 100 games to date. And half of them are Batman games!

Asteroids are ancient space rocks floating in their orbits in space. However, sometimes they come dangerously close to a planet like Earth. This happens due to the interaction with a large planet's gravitational field, which can send the tumbling towards a planet, raising a potential impact scenario. NASA and other space agencies use advanced space and ground-based telescopes to monitor asteroids and minimize the uncertainties around their close approaches. NASA has now shed light on an asteroid that is expected to pass Earth by a close margin today, February 14.

Presumably not ready to leave Attack on Titan behind after its anime finale, one Palworld player has recreated the series' iconic central city on a massive scale, purportedly without the use of any mods to make things easier.

Madame Web may only just be swinging into theaters, but Spidey fans will already be keen to know when it might be landing on streaming platforms. The latest Spider-Man offshoot follows Cassandra Webb (played by Dakota Johnson), a New York City paramedic with clairvoyant abilities. After foreseeing a terrible event, she finds herself thrown on a path to protect three women from a murderous adversary.

Blizzard has shared a list of incoming adjustments coming for Season of Discovery. The main incoming adjustments will be a nerf to Starsurge and a Blood Moon Event change to give 30% health to players during the event.

A Starfield player has noticed strange gibberish written on a Xenofresh Fisheries suit in the game. After releasing a major update providing a multitude of fixes, Starfield has recently been caught up in a whirlwind of rampant rumors which seem to have suggested the Bethesda RPG is potentially making its way to PlayStation alongside a number of major Xbox exclusive games. With Starfield's involvement in this rumored multiplatform shift having recently been walked back, Xbox fans are awaiting official word from Microsoft this week.

One Palworld player has fully cranked up their ingenuity by creating a massive city, and they didn't even need to use a single mod to make a virtual urban base.

It's the Year of the Pegasus! Blizzard released a blog post detailing their year-long celebrations for 10 years of Hearthstone's launch!

In addition to this, WoW is receiving a cross-promotion! An in-game event rewarding many Hearthstone-themed items will happen from March 11 to March 18, and players logging in between March 11 and May 14 will receive a free mount.

Two weeks ahead of the Super Bowl, Mattel revealed it would be releasing Barbies, Little People sets, and UNO cards themed after whoever won the Big Game. Not just that, but the toymakers showcased images of all products, for both teams, and opened pre-orders even though only the winning team's items would ever see the light of day. Now the Super Bowl is over, Mattel's Kansas City Chiefs collection will become a reality, and pre-orders for the San Francisco 49ers products have been canceled.

With players able to level beyond 25, you can now unlock the Expert rank on every profession. However, some professions restrict where you can learn this new skill. We compiled a list of where you can find these trainers. You can also use Artisan trainers for each profession, but those are usually harder to find than those in capital cities, as they are generally in the middle of nowhere.

Students, busy-bodies, stoners, and gamers have been chilling at their desks with Lofi Girl - the YouTube channel featuring lofi beats and a studious anime girl - for almost a decade. One Steam Next Fest demo now makes that experience kind of playable with a life sim that's perfect for serial procrastinators. 

Rocksteady Studios’ Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League may not be the last we’ll see of the Arkhamverse’s Batman. A newly discovered Easter egg hints that the Dark Knight will return in some fashion, despite the premise of the game’s title.

Rockstar Games has initiated a new weekly event in GTA Online, commencing today, February 8, 2024, in the bustling city of Los Santos.

Before the world of A Quiet Place became a quiet place, it was a LOUD PLACE. And based on the first trailer for this June’s A Quiet Place: Day One, it was particularly loud on day one, when a species of snarling echolocation-reliant aliens crashed on Earth. As teased in John Krasinski’s newspaper-clipping mosaic in the first movie, New York City went into full lockdown after the ETs arrived. Day One, which gets a big spooky trailer that will premiere to the masses at 2024 Super Bowl LVIII, chronicles that fateful day in the Big Apple.

Rocksteady Studios’ Arkham-Verse games are one of the most iconic and influential Batman stories of the 21st century, arguably second only to Christopher Nolan’s Dark Knight Trilogy. The games are built on the foundations of Batman: The Animated Series and feature many returning voice actors, but even by the second entry had begun to tell a tale quite different to that previously emerged from Gotham City.

Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League is finally out and, mercifully, it’s not the disaster everyone had feared. It’s not what fans wanted from a sequel to Arkham Knight and is far from a perfect game, but there is some enjoyment to be had battling through Metropolis in the wake of Brainiac’s invasion.

It shouldn't be a relief when you see the credits roll at the end of a video game. You want to feel satisfied with the experience you've had, not just glad that it's over so you can move onto other things.

Honkai: Star Rail’s 2.0 update forms another glittering jewel in Hoyoverse’s already illustrious crown of achievements. The new patch takes the already impressive base game — which pairs stunning animation with zippy turn-based combat — and kicks everything up a level. It introduces Penacony, a region that pairs an intriguing story of a dream world set on a former penal colony with an artistically ambitious world design that’s like a golden fever dream of a place, somehow capturing the feeling of a theme park and casino rolled up in one. Even smaller details, like the update’s minigames, show a level of polish and consideration not seen in previous Honkai: Star Rail versions or in Genshin Impact. The patch represents the culmination of years of Hoyoverse’s experience in game development, but there’s one problem: You’ll have to play a ton of quests to get to it.
