Fighting games are one of those genres where the competitive scene – that brutal arena where the game’s best battle it out – is tied by the waist to the general gaming experience.

The Boys might be wrapping things up after its fifth season, but Amazon clearly doesn’t want that success to end, so a Soldier Boy prequel is now on the way. Remember when The Boys was supposed to be a satire of modern superhero media? Me too! But, money talks, and what it’s telling Amazon is […]

HunterxHunter NenxImpact preview: Not the prettiest dish, but rich with sauce

HunterXHunter NenXImpact asks an interesting question: how important are looks for a fighting game’s success? The game is a down-dirty brawl, hilariously fun and easy to pick up. But, at the same time, it’s not exactly a looker. Getting hands on with the game at Evo 2024 I can safely say it’s now one of […]

Today is a big day for No Rest for the Wicked, the action RPG from Moon Studios.
