Of course, I did not have the time nor the patience to get through every single game that came out this year. That means some notable releases like Resident Evil 2, Gears 5 , and DualShockers ' Game of the Year Judgment did not make my list. Some great games were also just barely beat out, but I'd still recommend Ape Out, Baba is You, Samurai Shodown and Mortal Kombat 11 if you are looking for a good time. Without further ado, here are my 10 favorite games of 2

The realm of role-playing games has long been one filled with vast promises: open worlds, human relationships, and commitment to simulating every aspect of reality. So when Peter Molyneux promised that Fable 2 would teach gamers how to love, many took the claim as exaggerat

Following a big gameplay reveal in May, Destiny 2 is sure to have a major presence at this year's E3 event. Activision and Bungie have already revealed plenty about the upcoming RPG/shooter hybrid, but there's still a lot left for fans to discover. Those that want to see more of Destiny 2 in action should be sure to tune in to Sony's press conference, as Destiny has had a consistent presence at Sony's portion of the show over the last few ye

We don't have much official information on 2017's Assassin's Creed game, except for the fact that it exists and is due for release later this year. It appears as though Ubisoft is keeping the game under wraps for a big reveal at E3, but some leaks have suggested that its full title will be Assassin's Creed Origins , it will take place in Egypt, and its protagonist will be named Ba Yek . Other rumors have teased that the game will abandon both multiplayer and naval combat, suggesting that this year's Assassin's Creed may signal a return to the franchise's ro

While the highly anticipated Elden Ring from FromSoftware will be missing the show, there are still plenty of games to look forward to. Here's a handy list with the biggest games to look forward to, along with events and streams related to t

I don't really have any problems with Astral Chain and it's super innovative, which is why I gave it a 10 earlier this year. Astral Chain features the tight and rewarding action PlatinumGames is known for but is quite accessible at the same time. Its detective case-solving portions feel like better versions of similar segments in the Batman: Arkham Adventure Games collectibles. Astral Chain is one of the best-looking games on Nintendo Switch. And finally, the Legion is the most innovative thing to happen to action games since Bayonetta's Witch Time. Creating a unique weapon-user relationship I've never seen in a game before, Astral Chain remains fun and manageable while still tasking players with controlling two things at o

1. Homefront
Homefront had a lot of promise behind it. Instead of being an ultra-futuristic space shooter or one taking place in a famous historical war, it would take place in the near future and tell the close-to-home story of a battle between scattered U.S. Forces and an oppressive Korean government. It was something different and held a lot of expectations as a new force in FPS gam

After Star Wars Battlefront 2 got struck down, EA's Star Wars games have become even more powerful than you could possibly imagine. While the discourse surrounding Star Wars is hitting an apex of toxicity following the release of The Rise of Skywalker , fans should still remember that the franchise received two great additions this year: The Mandalorian and Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Ord

Since the Battle Dragon can only be operated by one bearing the Killstar - possessed by the game's hero when first encountered - it's correct to call the creature a pet, since Rex 'Power' Colt is its master. A post-apocalyptic hellscape is something no sane person would wish to endure. But if this being were at our disposal, we'd consider

Sledgehammer Games has already revealed the single player portion of Call of Duty: WW2 , and so far the game has been met with an overwhelmingly positive response. However, the bread and butter of the Call of Duty franchise has almost always been its multiplayer, and so all eyes will be on Call of Duty: WW2 at E3 to see if the multiplayer can generate as much excitement as the single player campa

While the new Medal of Honor was praised for its change in setting, it was more of the same the genre already had to offer. We had Battlefield: Bad Company and Call of Duty already and this game followed a similar path, only without anything new attached to it. In doing so, it just became another run-of-the-mill shooter. It would have its audience, but wouldn't be the groundbreaking experience it promised to be for critics or gamers, and certainly not a contender to take down Call of Duty like EA promi

Tokyo Game Show 2019 is starting right now at Makuhari Messe in Tokyo, going from September 12 to 15. Most publishers revealed their definitive schedules these past few days, outlining the various streams and stage events happen
