“The Awesome Adventures of Captain Spirit” takes the “Life is Strange” series from teenage angst to childlike imagination. How well does Dontnod Entertainment approach this transition? Our review.

Modern gaming has embraced the open-world model wholeheartedly. Beyond a few outliers like The Last of Us: Part II, E3 was dominated by a new generation of “go wherever you want” titles that promise more player freedom than ever before.

“Tetris” comes to virtual reality for the first time and not only does it feel good, it feels good enough to justify picking up a PlayStation VR on its own. Shacknews goes eyes-on at E3 2018.

There were very few new announcements to come out of E3 this year. Instead, developers doubled down on already announced titles. I guess the bright side is that we (should) have a lot to imminently look forward to? Here are my personal highlights.

What type of vampire would you be? This is what DontNod Entertainment, the team behind the critically acclaimed and fan-adored “Life Is Strange” games, gives you a chance to answer in “Vampyr.” In this new experience, players take on the role of newly born vampire Jonathan Reid.

June heralds the start of summer — and of gaming’s biggest event of the year. E3 runs June 12-14 in Los Angeles, and, as usual, it’ll probably be a pretty big deal. Here are some key points to look for ahead of the conference (and of course, we’ll be dissecting the announcements here next week).

Jumping into the “Yakuza” series right now is a tricky proposition. Sega’s long-running underworld crime saga has been out for more than a decade and has several chapters that follow the exploits of legendary gangster Kazuma Kiryu.

My feelings about the decline of the Pokemon franchise have been well documented in this space. Dear reader, you won’t be surprised to learn that my initial reaction upon hearing of Pokemon: Let’s Go! Pikachu and Pokemon: Let’s Go! Eevee was cynical. This is the franchise’s Nintendo Switch debut? This?

As technology grows more powerful, developers move closer to blurring the line between real-life and digital. They create photorealistic works that become indistinguishable from reality, and Quantic Dream sits in the middle of that space.

Steam has never been the best place to get your sexy game fix (if that’s what you’re into), but the platform has always housed such titles — like, say, Huniepop (a match-3 game with sexy rewards) or Mutiny!! (a pirate-themed visual novel).
