The Mass Effect trilogy is a crowning achievement in gaming. These three titles came together to tell one epic story, and players' decisions in one game influenced events in the sequel. After wrapping up the trilogy, BioWare got to work on a successor, Mass Effect: Andromeda . This new story came out to a lackluster reception due to its buggy nature and unexciting gamep
Some may not even realize this, but it's possible to play through Fable 2 in local co-op. The second player takes on the role of a henchman, and they can transfer any gold or items they earn into their own saved game. Admittedly, Fable 2 's local co-op mode does feel a little tacked on, and it doesn't really enhance the main game much, but it's great for just messing around and wreaking havoc across Albion with a fri

The Arkham series started off on a strong note with Batman: Arkham Asylum . This game toyed with the idea of an open-world formula, before its sequel ended up going all out with this conc
Arkham City might not be one of the longest open-world titles around — especially if players are only going to go through the main story — but the game is still a blast regardless. There's a reason why most people still consider it to be the best chapter in the Arkham tril
Earlier this year, unconfirmed reports claimed that Fable 4 is in active development at Playground Games, the studio best known for its work on the Forza Horizon series. These reports still have yet to be proven, but with Microsoft recently purchasing Playground Games, it's clear that the publisher has a vested interest in the studio. If Fable 4 is in development as rumored, maybe an announcement will come at
This dog has become somewhat of a symbol for Undertale as a whole. The dog is just a troublemaker and appears in short instances throughout the Adventure Game Online Guide. It plays a part in one of Papyrus' traps, steals bones from Papyrus, is an actual bomb at one point, and absorbs an item you get for completing the difficult piano puz
One of the most demonstrable shifts in the way morality systems work now is in the Mass Effect series. While Andromeda's facial animations and other aspects faced major criticisms when it released, most of which were deserved, it ditched the paragon and renegade system found in the first three entries of the series. The newer system, which gave players the option to respond in four different manners rather than just two, was still flawed, but it marked a departure from the standard good versus evil archtypes, attempting to give players more characterization, even if it didn't necessarily succ
Nintendo is enjoying a serious comeback with the Nintendo Switch after the general sales failure that was the Wii U. Considering this, the Big N will want to keep the momentum going at E3, and if some leaks and rumors are to be believed, it will be an E3 Nintendo Direct to remem
Video games go through the same processes as their popularity grows and wanes. Unlike people, however, they also have a chance for revival. As an acknowledgment of all the franchises that either came or went this decade, the following list will detail five franchises that left the industry and five that came back in full force. The latter entries' revivals give hope to the former series that they too can one day come back from the d

When it debuted in 2010, Just Cause 2 featured one of the largest open worlds of any video game, and it retains that title to this day. The scope of the island of Panau is amazing, and the feeling of being let loose in such a large sandbox remains as breathtaking as e

With Dying Light 2 right around the corner, it's only a given that more and more people would want to get into the first game in the series. Players who choose to do so are making a great decision, since Dying Light is one of the most innovative open-world games around. This title combines parkour and zombie killing into one cohesive pack
Fans loved this dog so much that they would reload their save files if he ever ended up dead. Sometimes that meant undoing hours of game progress! So fans were very happy once Fallout 4 made it so Dogmeat could not die (though some still do not like that the dog can be attacked at a
First-party games may be the main focus of Microsoft's E3 2018 press conference, but the company is also expected to give a proper introduction to Rocksteady's rumored Superman game . Apparently, Superman: World's Finest will be announced during Microsoft's press conference, where it will be revealed that Brainiac is the game's main vill
Due to the highly-publicized fallout between Hideo Kojima and Konami, Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain came out in a brutally unfinished state. One can see where work stopped on the title's story and it was rushed out to mar
