Sonic the Hedgehog is well known as Sega's enduring mascot, especially during the publisher's nearly two-decade stint as a console manufacturer from 1983 to 2001. The company is also a pioneer in the arcade space, with many of its most important games starting out as groundbreaking arcade cabinets. However, despite that, the original Sonic the Hedgehog never got its own dedicated arcade version--until now. Sega is teaming up with My Arcade on a new Sonic the Hedgehog Joystick Player mini...

In September 2001, Fumito Ueda's Ico was released on PlayStation 2, and it made quite an impression on The Last of Us co-creator and director Neil Druckmann. Even 25 years after the game's release, Druckmann still points to a scene late in Ico as his favorite moment in a video game. There are some spoilers ahead for this quarter-century-old game. "My favorite moment in a game. the one that's made my jaw drop when it when it happened, is in the game Ico," Druckmann told BAFTA in a recent...
Actor Aaron Paul lends his voice to the upcoming game Dispatch, and it's the 46-year-old Breaking Bad star's first time working on a video game. He told Screen Rant that, being an in-demand actor, he is often pitched various projects, and he tends to "just say no." So what made him say yes to Dispatch? He explained that among the "stacks of scripts" and a sizzle reel of the game that was sent his way, one scene in particular "just really resonated with me." "It's just these two characters...

As someone who has spent the vast majority of my life playing handhelds with limited capabilities, being able to pull something out of my bag that can run Dark Souls 3, Cyberpunk 2077, or Skyrim without compromising what the game is and how it looks still feels magical. For me, handheld gaming PCs still aren't commonplace enough to feel ordinary, so I don't take for granted that I have, as the great Doctor Otto Octavius once said, "the power of the sun in the palm of my hands," and by "sun"...
Pokemon Go's big leveling system overhaul has gone live. In addition to raising the level cap from 50 to 80, the revamp encompasses a number of changes to make leveling up feel more rewarding, including a slew of new items and cosmetics to unlock upon hitting certain milestones. As part of the overhaul, the amount of XP you need to earn to reach certain levels has been adjusted. The official Pokemon website has outlined the new totals you need for the following levels: Some of the new...
It was, for a few days, difficult for me to figure out exactly why my time with Reanimal was so exciting. When it was first announced by Tarsier Studios, the team behind Little Nightmares 1 and 2, I thought it was striking how much it resembled the team's prior series--one which had since been handed to Supermassive. I played both Supermassive's Little Nightmares 3 and Tarsier's Reanimal in the same week, and though my time with Reanimal was limited to a demo of about 20 minutes, I came away...

The company's previous boss, former Call of Duty executive Michael Condrey, left the studio earlier this year. Ismailer said in a memo to staff...

The Outlast Trials has long been one of the best horror games to play, but in its next update, it's going to get even scarier. Coming in a patch on October 21, Invasion mode is adding an optional PvP mode to the game for the first time, and the way developer Red Barrels has designed it adds a ton of horror and paranoia to the experience. As devoted players already know, the normally PvE co-op horror game can be disrupted by "impostors," NPC characters who appear on the map as violent...
Nearly two years ago, Rockstar Games shared the first look at Grand Theft Auto 6, one of the most highly anticipated titles in the history of the video game industry. Since then, numerous analysts and gaming industry figures have speculated or openly wished for the game to be sold for $100 in order for other AAA games to reach the same price. Now, Saints Row design director Chris Stockman has shared his wish for GTA 6 to be $100 as well, but not for the same reason as some of his peers...
The Battlefield 6 official soundtrack features Limp Bizkit, and while the collaboration might seem natural given the game series is known for "breaking stuff" and Limp Bizkit has a song called "Break Stuff," the partnership wasn't planned from the onset. Henry Jackman, who scored Battlefield 6, said in an interview with Hollywood Records that he was nearly finished with the Battlefield 6 OST before wondering if a collaboration with a rock group might benefit the game. "There is definitely a...

There are a lot of unanswered questions about what this means for EA and the industry at large, but now two US Senators are raising the potential "foreign influence" Saudi Arabia could enact with EA under its control. Senators Richard Blumenthal and...
Battlefield 6 is marketed as a game that has "only in Battlefield" moments, and while that's a marketing hype line, sometimes it's also true. That's certainly the case in new clip posted by Rebs Gaming. In the sequence, the Battlefield 6 player XxOsiris187xX ejects from a jet high above the battlefield and just as they go to open their parachute, another jet appears below them. The player lands on this jet, walks to the front, dome-shots the pilot, and then gets into the hijacked jet to...
The Outer Worlds 2 is two weeks away, and Mircosoft and developer Obsidian are keeping up the hype by introducing the Moon Man as a Couch-Panion. This is a joke, and yet it's very real at the same time, as seen in the video below. "This isn't just merch," reads the description on Xbox Wire. "This isn't just a plush. This is a lifestyle choice. A statement piece. A co-pilot for every late-night quest and awkward snack run. It's satire you can hug--and proof that The Outer Worlds 2 lives...
