I adore monster-catching games. I think more than any other aspect of games, I really like it when I get to use the abilities of the things I’m fighting against. It’s one of the reasons the Nintendo DS-era Castlevania games have such a fond place in my memory, and the pinnacle of this is the monster-catching genre. Of all of the games in this genre, the Dragon Quest Monsters (which used to be Dragon Warrior Monsters) stands out as a highlight from both a nostalgic perspective, and that we’ve not seen the series in the West in a very long time.

The Last of Us has always been a major hit with gamers worldwide. When Naughty Dog first released this game on the PlayStation 3, fans were getting a cinematic action-adventure experience. We had a solid narrative experience, and it wasn’t long after that a remastered edition was released. There’s even a complete remake of this game available today, so it certainly has a strong fan base. However, this franchise got a new resurgence when HBO released a live-action adaptation.

Grand Theft Auto VI was incredibly hyped going into December. We knew this would be the month Rockstar Games would unveil their first trailer for the next Grand Theft Auto game. While we finally have the trailer readily available, plenty of reaction videos and content are emerging online to help indicate what we might see in this installment. However, one YouTube channel, Lavkia, compared Grand Theft Auto: Vice City and Grand Theft Auto VI. While it might not be a direct comparison to the map, it will at least give you some insight into what areas of the map might have been expanded.

Humans are horrible. You don’t need an allegory about the environment filled with blue aliens to tell you that. However, the joy of James Cameron’s Avatar isn’t in its humans, or the azure Na’vi, it’s in the vibrant, living world of Pandora.

Fallout fans have been waiting for a long time now for that next mainline video game installment. However, before that new release happens, we have a TV series to hold us over. I’m sure you’re already well familiar with the fact Fallout is being adapted into a TV series, but if you missed out, the show is coming our way in April of next year.

It’s no secret that Final Fantasy XVI was a big risk for the company. After the somewhat lukewarm reception to their last mainline entry, they needed to do something big and bold to get gamers’ attention and prove that their series wasn’t growing stale. The answer that they came up with was not only to use the PS5 graphics system to make the game more realistic-looking than ever but to create a mature storyline that pushed what RPGs usually do and kept people engaged. Oh, and they also had it so that characters could turn into giant monsters. That also helped.

CD Projekt Red had made a name for themselves when they delivered  The Witcher  franchise. Fans took up with the RPG series and were overjoyed to learn that the studio was working on another game franchise altogether. After  The Witcher 3 , the development team switched to  Cyberpunk 2077 . Rather than the fantasy world we were used to seeing from this talented team, we were getting tossed into the future.

The term “maverick” isn’t often used in the context of the video game industry. Yes, there are those who “push the bounds” of gaming in certain ways, and that’s why we have the M rating via the ESRB. But even with those “mature titles,” you can see a focus on what they’re trying to be and not necessarily someone or something that is “trying to stir things up just because they can.” When it comes to Suda51, this man is a maverick through and through. He has made games that were pretty much “for him,” and fans enjoyed the madness along the way.

The December 2023 games lineup involves us turning into blue aliens and harnessing the powers of a flour golem. We’ll also be helping our favorite Disney characters with farming and other tasks.

That said, there was also the announcement of a new game mode called No Return. This will allow players to go through some roguelike levels and see how well they can stay alive in this harsh, unforgiving world. 

Check any HoYoverse social media thread, and I guarantee you’ll find a microcosm of netizens communicating in the infinite languages of online slang, memes, and pop culture references.

When Pokemon Scarlet and Violet came out last year, it promised many things and delivered on pretty much all of them. One of the key things that the game delivered on was the open world you could enjoy and roam through however and whenever you wanted.

But while there was a certain “style” and “quality” to the game, it did have a key flaw that many have noted.

Assassin’s Creed recently launched a brand new installment into the marketplace this past month.
