Sega games are classic form of gaming that have been around for years. Although many believe they had their moment in the early 2000’s, never to be seen again, they’re making a major comeback. The Genesis Mini was released in September of this year, but the younger generation wouldn’t have a clue about the best classic games that we loved to play in the 90s and early 2000s. For those who are not familiar with the Sega gaming world, Sega games are games made by a Japanese multinational video game developer and publisher called Sega Corporation. Their headquarters are in…

After an unbelievably long 7 year wait and a handful of other hiccups, Naughty Dog launched their highly anticipated sequel to the Last of Us; the Last of Us 2 on the 19th of June. Following the launch, the game received very split reviews with a majority of the Playstation community labeling the project as an epic flop.  I certainly won’t go so far as to say that, though I will note that there are several aspects of the game that let it down  a bit in terms of initial expectations. Let me clarify, that’s not all we are here…

This week’s ‘Game of the Week’ is a fun one. After spending hours every day delving into CoD Warzone, I was growing mildly bored with the repetition. That’s when I decided to try out Riot Games’ new competitive FPS, Valorant. To put it in plain speak, think Counter-Strike with hero elements. After one game, I was completely hooked. Valorant is fun, challenging, and exciting, even if you feel like you’re losing, you’ll always have the chance to redeem yourself and your team. In epic 5×5 battles, strategy and aim is everything. Rounds start with a Buy Phase where you…

One of the most satisfying feelings is finally getting what you waited for so long. Now it’s officially true. PlayStation 5 is no longer a mystery. Sony has put an end to our painful waiting, and it’s safe to say that we got more than what we expected. We all had a certain vision of how the consoles will look like, but Sony still managed to surprise us. The official reveal was kept until the tail end of the live stream, but what we saw justified the wait. The aesthetic of this sleek hardware is unique, and it resembles the…

There is no arguing. Football is the most popular sport ever and, naturally, so many spend countless hours playing it. While there is nothing like the smell of fresh grass, the tense air, and the feeling one experiences at the stadium, playing football on your PC, PlayStation, or Sega is the closest it gets. It is a game that makes your heart jump a bit and get insanely competitive while also feeling the connection with other players. Well, it’s possible to say that football is more than a game. It is a powerful force that brings people together, no matter…

It’s that time of the season where we get to talk and make our list for which games we anticipate the most, from the games that are already confirmed to arrive on the next-gen consoles, PS5 and Xbox Series X. Starting off, with one of the first games confirmed to be released for the PS5, Godfall We all are familiar with Gearbox and their successful game series, Borderlands, and they are back to cause all sorts of chaos and mayhem in the next-generation consoles, with another looter-slasher game. This time, unlike Borderlands, which was first-person shooter with cartoony graphics and…

Ah, Britain. Land of tea, the King, and other associated stereotypes.  Of course, modern Britain is just as cosmopolitan and diverse as anywhere else in the world. Anything the developed world can do, Britain can do as well, and that includes streaming on Twitch. The UK is a nation of gamers, just as the USA and other countries are. It might be a small island nation off the coast of mainland Europe, but don’t count it out when it comes to Twitch. Yes, many of the most interesting and content-rich streamers on Twitch actually hail from this sceptered isle. The…

Hunting games have come a long way since Duck Hunt first hit the arcades in 1984. The fundamentals of a good hunting game have not changed much but the gameplay experience has vastly improved from that first coin-operated machine.  Next time you get the itch to stalk a buck or take down big game, take a look at our top Hunting games for Console or PC. Pro Deer Hunting 2 If you are looking for a realistic deer hunting simulator, then Pro Deer Hunting 2 is worth a consideration. It advances from the original game with improved visuals, and extras…

As a fan and player of the MOBA game Dota 2, I was intrigued when the announcement of Dota Underlords hit the internet in early 2019. Released as an open-beta, the team at Valve has been making consistent improvements to this fun, strategic game over the course of the past (almost) year, prepping for the release of the full version on the 25th of February 2020.  I’ve put about 600 hours on the Underlords clock (yes, I know that means 25 days of my year were just spent playing the game) and I’ll say that it’s been a wonderful, frustrating…

Do you want to know what surprises PlayStation prepared for you in 2020? We will tell you about the best and most expected PlayStation 4 exclusives, and you will surely find some of your favorites in this list. Some of them surprised us a lot. Almost every PlayStation exclusive is a big event, a lot of work, and a fair amount of innovation that the company offers its customers.

Mobile gaming has been on the rise over the past few years and with PC, PS4 etc. titles like PUBG tapping into the game, the obvious competition has tried to make their mark on the space as well.

It’s that time again and we’re heading into the second week of December with an exciting feature we’re sure you’ll love. Yes, we know it’s an oldie, but oh is it a goodie. Maybe the best open-world PC game ever? You read and decide for yourself.  What is this week’s spotlight? Witcher 3: Wild Hunt.  Released in 2015 by CD Projekt Red, Witcher 3: Wild Hunt soon became one of the highest-rated PC games (10/10) according to Steam and we seriously can’t argue with that. We’d be remiss not to mention that it also won Game of the Year and…

Every video lover must have noticed the slow progression of video games in 2019. While this might seem a little bit of concern, it might interest you to know that something great still came out of this dearth. There are more than enough fun games on gamesgames.com, including new releases this year that you should jump on.  Below is a list of some of the best fun games that rocked 2019 that you should not miss out on: 1. Apex Legends This game was released in February and has since been one of the most played games this year. Apex…

In the history of gaming, racing games have been consistent since the first video game was released in 1974. However, it has improved over the years and happens to be the favorite genre of many video game lovers, whether as a novice or a professional gamer.  Selecting the best racing games isn’t an easy fit as it involves a lot, including the graphical content, sound, and virtual reality, like some of the car games on agame.com. The best racing game feels just right and keeps you glued longer than you expect while you have a great experience. Below are some…

After lots of nail-biting and brain blanking, it’s been decided that the Game of the Week should go to none other than the up and coming contender for top battle royale game; Apex Legends. No collective groan from the audience? We didn’t think so.  This mildly infuriating, team-oriented BR game hit the charts on launch in February with a peak 25 million players. While that figure has died down considerably, from the mouth of EA, they still bring in an average of 8-10 million per week, that figure obviously includes me.  Best features: Teamplay, unique weapons, ping system, character classes,…

Military strategy is a pretty popular genre, and for obvious reasons. The appeal of watching troops execute a perfectly-planned strategy and take down their enemy with ruthless efficiency isn’t one that needs to be explained. Nevertheless, this crowded genre has hundreds of games, some better than others. Here are the top 20 military strategy games you can play in 2019. BattleTech (PC) While BattleTech doesn’t technically feature the real-life military, it does revolve around a group of mercenaries piloting mechs, so it is military in spirit. The strategy in BattleTech is deep, complex, and interwoven; every system interlocks perfectly, and…

Nintendo is absolutely killing it in the gaming industry right now. The on-again-off-again pattern of the company’s console releases means each console is alternately successful and a disappointment. The N64 did great business, but the GameCube was underwhelming. The Wii put Nintendo back on track, but the Wii U was a disaster. Now we’ve got the Switch, a great idea with excellent execution that fills a niche we didn’t know we needed to be filled until it was. It stands to reason that a console like the Switch would be absolutely rammed with great games. There are, of course, some…

It’s finally getting colder. Temperatures are dropping, the leaves are falling from the trees, and the Pumpkin Spice Latte is back on sale. It’s almost time for Halloween. Almost.

We’ve compiled a list of some of the best around and some of the more obscure titles you might want to check out if you’re in the mood for a scare! In no particular order, here are our top 20 horror games. 1. Silent Hill Often regarded…

Gamescom 2019 is finally over, and we’ve had some time to sit and think about everything we saw. It’s been a few days since the show ended, and since its conclusion, we’ve been mulling over what we thought were the best bits. It was a pretty epic show this year, and many of the major video game companies had enviable showings. Still, crown winners we must. Here are the most impressive games we saw at Gamescom 2019. Marvel’s Avengers If you said to us “live-service version of The Avengers with loot and progression systems”, we’d have wondered if it could…

Whether you’re making your getaway in single-player mode or in GTA Online, the importance of a fast car in Grand Theft Auto V can’t be overstated. Speeding through the streets of Los Santos becomes all the more satisfying when you’re doing it in a vehicle that’s been designed to reach dizzying speeds, as any GTA race fan can attest. With that in mind, then, you’ll probably be looking for the fastest cars GTA V and GTA Online can muster, and it likely won’t surprise you to learn that there’s a ton of choice when it comes to speed demons. Let’s…

Those who were a fan of the movie series, which began back in 1980, are sure to have garnered excitement when hearing about this title. I was one of those fans. However, it is fairly common knowledge within the gaming community that movie-tie in games are rarely successful. With that said, could Friday the 13th: The Game buck this trend? Continue to read on to find out. Once the game was installed on my PS4, I attempted to join an online game. Sadly, the servers were down, a real issue that many have experienced within the first week or so of…

When it comes to first-person-shooters, Activision’s Call of Duty franchise has attracted a huge following. With the first release arriving in 2003, the series has continued to progress gradually, partly thanks to innovative features of which were often introduced on an annual basis. However, the approach to forwarding a futuristic era setting has come under fire from many veterans. We don’t need to look towards EA’s Battlefield 1 masterpiece to realise that a return to a previous setting would be highly welcomed. Here we delve into an article that explores why Call of Duty WW2 will be hugely appreciated and…
