He’s also a lovable goofball who quickly earns the affection of rollerblading beauty Ramona Flowers, but only after defeating her seven evil exes can the two actually start dating. This story has defined a generation of nerds for all the right and wrong reasons; the comics reproduced in the form of video games, live-action films, and now an anime series from Science Saru that reunites all the original creators and the cast of the Edgar Wright movie....

Quick Links One of the most fun aspects ofGenshin Impactis pulling for new characters on the Gacha System and building them properly.

Her kit allows her to make good use of the Crystallize reaction, which is HoYoverse’s way of bringing Geo back into the meta....

The icy blue ninja has been through years of stories and has a storied legacy for its mantle. Yet, Sub-Zero also seems to have a history of designs that is even more detailed and notable. Sub-Zero has appeared in pretty much every singleMortal Kombatgame and then some others along the way....

Video games are a work of art, and these visual masterpieces span all sorts of genres. Some games focus on delivering unforgettable experiences, whilst others attempt to simply innovate the medium in their own unique ways. Hellboy: Web Of Wyrdmay be a little underwhelming when it comes to the execution, but the game excels surprisingly well at setting the tone with its visuals. Cel-shaded graphics have always been controversial as far as mass appeal goes, but they actually feel a lot less dated in comparison to realistic graphics....

While some genres have been around from the start of video games as a hobby, others have built off games of the past to make genres of their own.
