New York Comic Con 2024 is in the books! In the not so distant past multiple video game companies would attend NYCC – using it as a New York City stop to showcase upcoming AAA games akin to a PAX or E3. In recent years, however, such showings has been sparse to say the least.
Games specifically designed around the local cooperative and competitive experience can be few and far between nowadays. Once upon a time you could waltz into a Blockbuster and find any number of games exclusively created for going head to head with your friends and family, but as time has marched on, they’ve fallen somewhat out
The year is wrapping up quickly and with the Golden Joysticks Awards merely two days gone, the next awards ceremony is already on the horizon. Geoff Keighley’s The Game Awards announced the nominees for the 31 fan-voted categories today. Unsurprisingly, Larian Studio’s Baldur’s Gate 3 is again a hot contender with eight nominations by itself.
During today’s PlayStation Showcase, Sony unveiled more than twenty new announcement trailers. Ranging from new trailers for already announced titles to new indie games, first party titles all the way to new PSVR2 and AAA games. You can find the full 70 minute showcase here. If you just want the gist of it all, we
When I first saw the trailer for Grim Guardians: Demon Purge, a few inspirations immediately stuck out in my mind. A castle of demons full of diverse architecture, a variety of abilities just as useful for exploration as they are for combat, an aesthetic reminiscent of Symphony of the Night and Aria of Sorrow, plus
As the sun rises on the final day of 2022 (at least, at the time we’re writing this), it’s now the time to keep a Gamer Escape tradition alive. You know it, and you love it. It’s what you’ve been waiting for, the only end of the year list on the internet that matters: Gamer
As you may well know, Monster Hunter Rise was one of our top games of 2021, earning one of our coveted 10/10s. Many Monster Hunter titles get followed up with an improved “G” (for “guild,” in Japan) or “Ultimate” (in the US), and with the advent of the ease of patching that comes with modern
Few games have been as much of a roller coaster for me as Weird West. What first caught my attention was the developer, Wolfeye Studios, being made of former Arkane Studios developers. Weird West is also an immersive sim just like Arkane’s previous titles Dishonored and Prey, but this time departing from the usual first-person
Well, it’s that time of year again! It’s officially New Years Eve, with a brand new year approaching on the horizon. 2021 continued to be a…rather wild ride in many ways. But it’s the time to look back on the most important thing of this past year: what happened at Gamer Escape! The biggest change,
I’m going to cut to the chase with this one, folks. I’ve got quite the backlog of games I haven’t finished or own but haven’t played yet. What tends to happen, especially for RPGs, even though I love them, is I invest quite a bit of time in them, get distracted by another new game,
The Nintendo Direct announcements for E3 2021 showcased a wide variety of games, including new releases, upcoming DLCs, and remasters. Curious about what’s in store for this year and next? Let me give you the run down! Super Smash Bros. Ultimate DLC Character: Kazuya Mishima Joining the roster of fighters in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
Today, Capcom took to the internet to show gamers around the world what to expect for their recent and future releases with their E3 2021 showcase! Resident Evil: Village After Resident Evil: Village launched last month to a great reception, Producer Tsuyoshi Kanda thanked players for the in a video message. Resident Evil RE:Verse, a
I’ve been a fan of Monster Hunter since I was introduced to it with Monster Hunter 3 on Wii, in part because of its straightforward and satisfying premise: killing giant beasts, making weapons and armor from parts carved from their corpses, and using those weapons and armor to kill bigger and fiercer monsters. I also
Yesterday, Nintendo tweeted out an announcement for their highly-anticipated Nintendo Direct event, scheduled for February 17th at 2:00pm PT/ 5:00 ET. The effect that the COVID-19 pandemic continues to have on the video game industry (games continuously being delayed) is very disheartening so as an active gamer, it was good to see some good news
It kind of goes without saying the “Cyberpunk” aesthetic is very IN right now. We are merely a few short days away from the release of Cyberpunk 2077 at the time of writing after all. And yet with all the Cyberpunk imagery out there, nothing has quite scratched that Blade Runner itch I so desire.
I love sharks. That is to say, I have such a wealth of respect (and fear) for them that I enjoy watching them with a healthy amount of space and industrial glass between us. You can imagine how sad I am at how few games there are involving sharks. They are perfect for silly fun
The below summary details the events of the Final Fantasy XIV: Shadowbringers main scenario — specifically those of patch 5.0. Spoilers ahead! All aboard the Lore Train as we “throw wide the gates” on Shadowbringers!
It’s almost here folks…the end of the decade. The time to flip another number in the year and suddenly find ourselves reliving the 20s. The past few months have seen endless social media trends about looking back at the past decade, reliving on what one has accomplished, and what they’re looking forward to in the
For many of us, the Jedi Order of videogames fell some ten or fifteen years ago when Kyle Katarn and Revan disappeared into the uncharted reaches along with the Republic Commando squad and any feasible hope for a Pandemic Battlefront II sequel. Let’s be real, the Star Wars IP was a highly saturated affair through
Monster Hunter World was one of the few games I've rated 9+. The series is second only to Final Fantasy in how many hours I've sunk into it. It's safe to say I've been looking forward to the new expansion for a while. At the same time, there's always that worry with change. Will I enjoy what's new, or will it take away what I love?
