We are proud to introduce the Chicken, a new creature that will hopefully amuse many players during fierce combats in Taego! “Chicken? Why the heck?†you might wonder. The answer to this question is left to your imaginati

A lot of care seems to have been put on the menu presentation as if PUBG Corp. wants the player to believe that their experience has as high of a production value as its reputation implies. But entering the player lobby, surrounded by several more lifeless and personality-less moving mannequins, gives the impression that you're still in some sort of mod. The frame rate stutters as the plane flies above the island, and although the game runs better on the ground, it never comes across as one dressed to impres

Undertale is in a similar position to Minecraft in that it’s become a cultural phenomenon. The 2D RPG takes the conventions of the genre and completely flips them on their heads, highlighting the biases players have developed over the years. For instance, players have been conditioned to fight enemies, but Undertale makes a point of showcasing the emotions and motivations of each enemy to encourage a more peaceful solution. It's mechanics like these, alongside Undertale's memorable cast and pixel art , that made it such a beloved game. Like Minecraft , it’s a title that redefined a genre and challenged the expectations what gaming experiences could of

Sadly, there’s an end to everything. Taego’s amuser also passes away once hit. They take damages from guns and grenades, then turn into fried chicken upon death. Sorry, a bad joke, they go to where we all

I contemplated whether or not I was going to make a year-end list for a while. Unlike literally all of my DualShockers colleagues, I don't own a PlayStation 4, and thus, didn't really play a lot of the capital-B Biggest games of the year.

**A brand new PUBG collectibles update arrived earlier today (November 2nd or 3rd depending on where you're based), having previously been released exclusively for the PC Test Servers. It brings the game to version 14.2 with plenty of new features and changes

So here's the deal--I'm going to list my ten favorite games of the year out of the games I’ve played. Despite playing a lot of older games for the first time this year, I'm limiting the games on my list to games that were released in 2018, or games that released a substantial update this year.

What did take some time to wrap my head around was how a game with several systems and controls like PUBG would utilize the DualShock 4. With so many different functions and too few control inputs, many buttons had to serve double duty. Tapping the square button would equip anything found on the field, but one has to hold the square button in order to reload—even though most console games have both of these functions under one button without having to distinguish a press between a h

A better option is to find cover . Any cover will do. Train yourself to understand gun sounds and the direction your enemy is shooting at you from. It's not always easy, but when you have a better understanding of where your enemy is, the easier it is to reposit

In this day and age, most online games are expected to be a platform—a service, if you will. Looking at the foundation what PUBG for PS4 has, it isn't a platform I expect to evolve too much. Sure, there's a battle pass and some goodies to buy, but I don't see anything that would want me to keep coming back to this particular g

For many people, Halo: The Master Chief Collection was a great disappointment. Upon its launch, the game's ramshackle online infrastructure effortlessly undermined its glorious promise. After all, who wouldn't want to revisit those original Halo games on today's Xbox Live?

Minecraft has added a lot since its release, but the core of its design remains the same. It brought open-world survival games into the limelight, inspiring many other games that would come after it, and had a huge impact on the industry by proving that a developer can also publish their own game and achieve success. In 2019, Minecraft was a top contender for Game of the Decade, and remains the best-selling game of all time (so fa

PUBG is a game of patience , and of hiding, most of the time. Best to give it a minute or so after securing your kill to begin looting. Sometimes the box will be somewhere that's relatively safe so you can go ahead and loot freely. Alternatively, drop a smoke grenade on the box, or perfect your side-to-side looting str

Changing your fire mode is great sometimes if you want to snipe enemies with single fire shots, but if you forget to change it back...you're probably dead. Always keep an eye on your fire mode , it's visible on every version of PUBG, so you don't run into trou

This year saw the release of Amnesia: The Dark Descent, which played a huge role in revitalizing the horror genre as well as raising multiple Let's Play YouTubers to stardom, such as Felix Kjellberg, better known as PewDiePie. However, the brutally hard platformer Super Meat Boy not only revitalized its genre and gained some mainstream recognition through YouTube channels like KidsReact, but it also started to bring more mainstream attention to the speedrunning community and established extreme momentum and precision as staple mechanics which can still be seen in contemporary platformers like Celeste and Ghost Runn
