While nobody has ever seen one in real life, zombies are very common in the gaming world. Many different types of games include these undead beasts. But they don’t always act the same in every title. Some games have you contend with fast-paced zombies that may even mutate into something greater. Plenty of other games, though, stick with the traditional slow shuffling version. No matter what type of zombie you’re up against, they’re fun to kill....
Despite my job description, I’m not the kind of person to obsessively analyse video game trailers. I leave that to the fans – I’m way more interested in how a game turns out when it’s in players’ hands than what it advertises itself to be. I also think there arewaytoo many trailers at The Game Awards. It’s an awards show, but it seems entirely focused on the future and rather disinterested in the achievements of the past or present....

Quick Links The Fierce Deity is an enigmatic figure inThe Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask. Its power is held within the Fierce Deity’s mask, which can transform Link into a deity himself, wielding the powerful Fierce Deity Sword. Not even Majora can stand up to the strength of the Fierce Deity, and possessing this mask makes the final boss of the game much easier to beat. It’s unclear whether the Fierce Deity is aligned with light or evil, but its power cannot be denied....
Quick Links It is said that shells carry with them the sounds of the ocean, and if you listen to one, you’ll be able to hear them. This concept has been adapted for the shells you find around the tower inJusant, but they don’t carry the sounds of the ocean. When you interact with a shell, you’ll hear laughter, the clang of tools on rock, birds singing, people talking, and more....
Quick Links No one can deny that Studio Ghibli has crafted some of the most magical and beautifully animated movies in the history of the medium. And I believe everyone on this planet should watch Studio Ghibli movies once in their life (yes, but you can watch them twice or more as well). I’m a superfan of Studio Ghibli movies, and everyone far and near knows that. That’s why I am often asked where to watch these cinematic masterpieces easily and LEGALLY....
Nintendo’sMario Kartseries has created some of the best tracks in racing games, and it doesn’t get more iconic than Bowser’s Castle. This perilous track has been a staple of the series since the Super Nintendo era, and it’s responsible for some of the most incredible, albeit brutal, moments in Mario Kart’s history. Bowser’s Castle is famously challengingdue to its many obstacles, mercilessly sharp corners, and devilish surprises. Its difficulty and often outstanding set pieces make it one of the greatest Mario Kart tracks ever....
I’ve been banging on about Netflix’s mobile game service since it launched early last year, and I’m going to keep spreading the good word until it either catches on or gets unceremoniously discontinued as dozens or hundreds of people suddenly find themselves out of work, which is what typically happens when non-gaming companies jump into games with both feet. Whileits initial offerings were pretty meager, I started turning around on Netflix Games last July whenit scored Into the Breach: Advanced Editionday-and-date (or sim-shipped, I can’t decide what the less wanky terminology is) with other platforms....
Football Manager 2024has a lot of detail and gives you total control over whatever team you decide to manage. This level of detail extends to your tactical setup, lineup, and formations. Football Manager 2024 isn’t like other football games in the sense that you may’t control the outcome of the game by taking control of the players. You must simply give your tactical instructions and wait to see if they’re enough....

Kojima somehow has time between those two massive projects to continue work on theDeath Strandingmovie adaptation, and it has now been confirmed that acclaimed studio A24 is helping him out on that project. The reveal that A24 is involved with the Death Stranding movie arrived in a far more subtle way than emerging from a prop door with a famous director on a big stage....
2023 has been a jam packed year for video games, breaking records and laying down the gauntlet for the rest of this generation to live up to. It feels like there’s been something new every day.
