I’ve played 500 hours of Elden Ring. I’ve beaten every boss, explored every invisible door, collected every rare armament. If I had to pick one favorite, generation-defining game above all others it would definitely be the base game and its Shadow of the Erdtree expansion.  But 160 hours into Nightreign, FromSoftware’s multiplayer spinoff that launched at the end of May, I know that there’s no way I could ever go...

Long series are not common in the gaming landscape, thanks to a wide range of factors. Franchises that stand the test of time face the challenge of keeping new iterations relevant to modern audiences while staying true to what the games mean.

There’s a handful of other, off-theme skins as well, along with the usual array of sprays, currency,...

In Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3, the skate park in Canada is perfect for long sequences of moves and tricks, which is exactly what you need to complete the “Impress the Skaters” mission. Canada is still the second map you unlock in the revamped version of Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4. Because of that, you need to complete as many missions in this level as you can to unlock the...

Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 and 4 is both a bolder and more conservative sequel to its 2020 predecessor. In the nearly five years that have passed since Vicarious Visions remastered Pro Skater and Pro Skater 2, new developer Iron Galaxy has stepped in to remaster 3 and 4, adding a few ideas of its own and making a strong case that the studio should be given the reins to...
