Borderlands 4
Borderlands has become one of 2K’s go to franchises between the mainline entries from Gearbox Software and even the Telltale Games spin-offs. The series may just seem like your typical repetitive looter shooter on the surface, but the charming characters and overall style have been the secret sauce that has...
The EA Sports FC series has found itself in a similar position to many sports titles, where the on-field product remains as authentic and compelling as ever. However, the lack of major changes across various game modes has led to a consistent decline in the series’ performance on this latest...
Once nearly ending just as it was getting started, the Final Fantasy franchise is still going strong today with numerous mainline entries and spin-offs over the years. While it was not the first spin-off, one of the most well-regarded in the series has always been Final Fantasy Tactics on the...
NBA 2K26
The NBA 2K series has typically been one of the more consistent sports game franchises in quality, though the series did have a bit of a rough patch a couple of years ago. They did a good job at rebounding from that last year, and now NBA 2K26 aims to...
Games like Space Invaders and Asteroids helped to pioneer the shoot-’em-up genre, aka shmups, but the Gradius series took it multiple steps further with full side-scrolling bullet hell action. Originating in arcades, games like this were quarter-eaters due to their difficulty, which led to multiple sequels and spin-offs.
NHL 26
NHL 25 seemingly had a lot of potential as the franchise finally left the last generation of consoles behind, leaving fans expecting big things for the series that had been on a downhill trajectory for a few years. Instead, what we got felt like little more than a roster update...
The Yakuza/Like A Dragon franchise is easily one of the most prolific series out there today, which is rather interesting considering how little impact it had on the West even as recently as a decade ago. While most entries had made their way out of Japan to that point, the...
After the series received a well received rejuvenation with the release of Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 + 2 back in 2020, fans have been anxiously awaiting a follow-up with the next two entries in the series. For a while, it was looking like this may not happen after developer...
Rematch
The FC series, formerly known as FIFA, has reigned supreme in the realm of soccer/futbol video games for years now, with competitors moving to free-to-play or dying off entirely. Coming from an unlikely source, Sifu and Absolver developer Sloclap has entered the tournament with a new online-only third-person soccer game,...
The Onimusha series began in 2001 on the PlayStation 2 and spawned several games between the mainline series, spin-offs for consoles like PS2, and even one on the Game Boy Advance. What seemed to be a very popular series for Capcom quickly ground to a halt, going on a long...
Whether it’s taking down hordes of Slimes or fighting to save the world, there is always something magical about Dragon Quest and Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake showcases why it is still one of the best entries in the series more than 36 years after its initial release. The HD-2D...
Like past entries in the series, it may take a little while for Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero to really click with you due to the perceived difficulty at the start. Once it does click though, you are in for a real treat with easily one of the best Dragon Ball...
