Capcom has continued its endeavour to restore and preserve its fighting game legacy. As it did with the previousFighting CollectionandMarvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection: Arcade Classics, the company has brought together eight classic titles that — unless you have access to the original hardware —you can’t legally play anywhere else. Capcom Fighting Collection 2presents some titles that aren’t very well-known if you haven’t played Capcom’s entire 90s game library.

Cronos: The New Dawn Needs To Stick The Landing For Bloober Team

I’ve givenBloober Teama lot of chances. The trailers for their games always look pretty good, but as a long-time horror fan, their titles have always been major let-downs.Layers of Fear, Observer, Layers of Fear 2, andThe Mediumall looked like they might be generation-defining horror games in their trailers, but when I finally got my hands on them, I found them to be snoozefests. I had a lot of trepidation when I started playing Bloober’s remake ofSilent Hill 2last year, since I had been burned by the studio’s entire catalog to that point....

Digital Deluxe Editions Are The Bane Of Modern Video Games

There are a lot of scams that we’ve all just had to accept when playing video games. $20 cosmetic items, pay-to-win gacha games, and battle passes that can expire after you buy them.

Just because I don’t want to pay $20 to play asSabrina Carpenter in Fortnitedoesn’t mean I can’t get why someone might do that, but there’s one gaming scam that I simply do not understand, and believe me, I’ve tried....

Doom: The Dark Ages Only Had 30 Percent Of Eternal's Day One Steam Players

Summary Doom: The Dark Agesis already shaping up to be an interesting case. When reviews dropped, itbecame one of the highest-rated games in franchise history, but as things stand, after a day, it has the lowest user review score on Steam of the reboot trilogy, although there is plenty of time to turn this around.

Funniest D&D Monsters In The 2025 Monster Manual

Dungeons & Dragonsboasts all kinds of monsters, from the bizarre and mildly helpful to what easily equates to nightmare fuel. The 2025 Monster Manual hosts its fair share of absolutely terrifying monsters, even if they’re more terrifying in concept than in practice. However, sometimes you don’t need a dark campaign or one that leans into horror elements - sometimes, you just need a campaign that is big dumb fun, with low-stakes and absolutely ridiculous monsters who pose a little bit of a threat but more of a laugh....

However, the series was created in Scotland, and the Edinburgh-based studio Rockstar North is still the main developer to this day withGTA 6....
