Capcom says Monster Hunter Wilds sold more than eight million copies in its first three days of release, making it the fastest game in Capcom history to reach that oddly specific milestone. Credit for the big number, according to Capcom, goes to Capcom’s “continuous global initiatives” to promote the game, including online showcases and an…
If you’re a gamer of a certain age, the name Acclaim will ring some pretty loud bells. It was a big-time videogame publisher through the late 1980s and ’90s, with a number of major sports and entertainment partnerships to its name. Flagging sales forced the company to declare bankruptcy in 2004 but now it’s back,…
Monster Hunter Wilds was awash in difficulty discourse before it even launched. Prerelease reviews drove the Monster Hunter subreddit into a panic, as critics forced excited hunters to ask that most terrible of questions: What if the new Monster Hunter was too easy? Before jumping into Wilds’ highest strength hunts, I carted a single time…
Two weeks after a surprise tease in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, it’s now official: Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4 is being “remade from the ground up” and will ollie into a 360 backside half-pipe faceplant boogaloo (or whatever) on July 8. Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4 is being developed by Iron Galaxy Studios…

Content creators Cinna, Valkyrae and Emiru had just listened to the man sing when he asked for Emiru’s phone number. After she refused, and refused to enter…
Next-gen game upgrades never seem to go as flawlessly as you’d hope, so I was not at all surprised to find some potholes to avoid in transferring your GTA 5 save file to GTA 5 Enhanced edition on PC. I nearly hydroplaned trying to figure out how to agree to Rockstar’s darn online policies, which…
Marvel’s Avengers assembled in 2020, but unfortunately the live service action game from Crystal Dynamics was essentially snapped out of existence by Square Enix a mere two years later—you can still play it if you own it, but it’s no longer being supported and has been delisted from stores. But like every dead superhero, there’s…
It’s no state secret that Civilization 7 didn’t get off to the strongest start. Robert Zak gave it a 76% in PC Gamer’s review, which is quite low for a Firaxis game, and echoed a lot of my own criticisms. It’s sitting at exactly 50 percent positive reviews on Steam as of this writing. The…
Grand Theft Auto 5 Enhanced is out on Steam today, and so far it seems to be going either really well or not great, depending on how you want to look at it. In terms of players, things are rosy: Nearly 115,000 people are playing at the moment, and it hit a 24-hour peak of…
It’s been a few years since current-gen consoles got their fancy GTA 5 upgrade loaded with new features and modern graphics updates, but that version is finally available on PC now as Grand Theft Auto 5 Enhanced.
