Yakuza Kiwami 2 Launch Trailer Is An Epic Celebration Of All Things Goro Majima

Sega has released the official launch trailer for Yakuza Kiwami 2, celebrating the release of the gangster-stomping remake the only way it knows how: by having real people sing a song about Goro Majima. To be fair, it’s entirely in line with what Yakuza has now become; a marriage of expertly-crafted storytelling and characters mixed with barmy, irreverent distractions that has you hopping between duffing up baddies on street corners to punching an actual tiger in the face....

Zelda 10 Ways That Twilight Princess References Ocarina Of Time That You Didn T Notice

It’s hard to deny just how much The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess references Ocarina of Time. At its core, it’s the closest a 3D Zelda has ever come to just straight-up serving as a direct mechanical sequel. Twilight Princess has Wolf Link, but at its core, it really is just The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 2. Which isn’t a bad thing, but it is very much a thing....

Wigmund The Return Of The Hidden Knights Is It Worth It

The joint efforts of Obsidian Entertainment and Larian Studios have ushered in the golden age of modern-day CRPGs. Series like Pillars of Eternity and Divinity: Original Sin stand atop a mountain of modern interpretations of the storied genre. Exploring their rich fantasy worlds is undeniably addicting. Wigmund: The Return of the Hidden Knights looks to capture that same magic, while introducing a few new features of its own. These features, namely its gesture-based combat, fail to leave a lasting impression....

Wwe 2K20 Review

WWE 2K20 has finally arrived, giving wrestling gamers around the world the chance to finally find out whether all the bad press the game has received during the build to its release is warranted. WWE 2K’s titles are often criticized for feeling like the same game every year with a different cover star. However, 2K20 has looked as if the game has become even worse. If 2K was trying to build on WWE 2K19 and create a wrestling game 12 months better than its last - which should be the bare minimum when it comes to fan expectations - then it has failed....

Yakuza Developer Teases Reveal Of Brand New Ip

Yakuza series producer Toshihiro Nagoshi revealed during a recent livestream that his team will unveil a brand new title in September, possibly at the Tokyo Game Show. The creator behind Sega’s popular gangster-smashing franchise said that the new game has been through various stages of development over the past three years, and will be something totally different to the Yakuza series or Fist of the North Star: Lost Paradise. Nagoshi-san’s team hasn’t produced an original IP since 2012’s Binary Domain, which sadly flopped pretty badly at retail and didn’t really impress critics all that much either....
