Final Fantasy XV’s Fascinating Assassin’s Creed Expansion Is About To Vanish

Final Fantasy XV ’s ambitious, enjoyable, unprecedented multi-hour tribute to Assassin’s Creed was only ever meant to be temporary. That’s a shame, because it’s surprisingly good. The game’s Assassin’s Festival was announced last summer and became available from the FFXV’s main menu on August 31. I’d ignored it, because it sounded like a trifle. If…

NBA Star Has PlayStation Sneakers, And They’re Not Terrible

I used this video games platform to call Paul George’s first signature shoe (the PG1) “trash” last year, so it’s only fair I return in 2018 to say his second is “not trash”. George launched the revised PG2 sneaker over the weekend in the Thunder’s game against the Cavs, with a special PlayStation model of…

Danganronpa Captures The Feeling Of Real-Life Arguments

It can be difficult to make video game dialog seem natural. Danganronpa V3: Killing Harmony’s trial scenes use various mini-games to turn dialog into an stressful battle of wits that captures the feeling of real life debate.

The PS4’s Library Of PS2 Games Is Only Getting More Disappointing

One week ago, the well-hidden section of the PlayStation 4’s online store where Sony and its partners sell PlayStation 2 games displayed more than 50 titles. Today, it lists just one item, a four-game bundle of Jak & Daxter PS2 adventures. The 50-some games are still on the store. Users who search for Bully or…

While most of the game is about criminal intrigue and martial arts brawls, a surprisingly robust club management mini-game is one of its most entertaining activities. Yakuza 0 follows two protagonists as they…

The Division’s latest global event changes the rules yet again for Ubisoft’s shooter. In Strike, which runs for five more days, a downed enemy drops an exploding grenade that hurts nearby enemies.
