FOV 90 (Image credit: Future) Welcome to FOV 90, an FPS column from staff writer Morgan Park. Every week, I’ll be covering a topic relevant to first-person shooter enjoyers, spanning everything from multiplayer and singleplayer to the old and the new. My first night with Black Ops 7 went as well as expected. After scoping…
One for Pokémon XD players. Following last month’s release of Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness for the Switch Online GameCube library, Nintendo has now updated this app again. This bumps it up to Version 1.6.1 and apparently comes with a helpful bug fix for the same title after reports of game crashes, resulting in players…
And Mega Man is back in the game. Famitsu is back with the latest look at the boxed charts in Japan, and unsurprisingly, Pokémon Pokopia is still on top by a fair margin. That said, its sales have slowed down a little. If you remember, it managed a whopping 114,515 units last week, but this…
You know how in action movie trailers they sync all the gunfire and fisticuff sounds to match up with the music — that’s what it feels like to play Pistol Whip, our first-of-its-kind action-rhythm FPS for PlayStation VR. You’ll become the hero of your own action movie scenes, with hand-crafted enemy engagements and environments synchronized…
Nintendo has announced via its Japanese support site that they now believe that the Nintendo Account breach, which was reported by the Kyoto-based company back in late April 2020, affected more people than they previously thought. Initially Nintendo said that up to 160,000 user accounts were breached but now admits that an additional 140,000 people…
Chrono Odyssey appears to be a pretty traditional fantasy MMORPG for the first 30 minutes, but then time stuff happens and the entire look of the world and its monsters change. This is an ambitious MMO all about time-manipulation and I’m curious to see if it can pull it off. I spent some time in…
Hellbreach: Vegas has a relatively simple premise: strip back zombie wave survival to the pure couch co-op joy of the OG Call of Duty Zombies modes of yesteryear. In my first hands-on with its four player online co-op, it definitely delivered on that front, but I think the real juice will be in its alternate…
“In my opinion, there was no chance of failing”. Sega and Nintendo were fierce hardware rivals for much of the ’80s and ’90s, with the latter usually being more commercially successful than the former. One contest that Nintendo won relatively comfortably was in the handheld arena. Its Game Boy portable launched in 1989 and sold…
Stalker 2 is great. Heck, it’s my game of the year, and I said as much in my Stalker 2 review. But it also launched with a hell of a lot of bugs. To its credit, developer GSC Game World is cranking out patches at a dizzying pace, and they seem to be making a…
Before John Carmack, Tom Hall, and John Romero unleashed the blistering corridors of Wolfenstein, they cut their teeth on smaller 3-D experiments: Hovertank 3-D for DOS and the Apple II’s Catacomb 3-D, the latter running on an embryonic version of the engine that would become Carmack’s signature. Those initial outings were the scaffolding for something…
