The year is coming to a close, and so we’re looking back at all the media we’ve engaged with, in an effort to find the best, or maybe even our favorite. And today, we’re looking at a list of our favorite anime from 2023. Well, a selection of our favorite anime, managed by me. Hi, I’m Eric. I’ve been working on getting an anime beat going here, none of which would have been possible without the hard work of writers and contributors....

Don’t touch my drum set, or the crown jewels We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again:Holmes & Watsonis the closest you’re getting aStep Brotherssequel(at least until they cave to the pressure of tens of millions of dollars and just make it anyway). Yes, the pair have joined forces outsideStep Brothersbefore, like inTalladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby, but the musical cues present in trailer, predominantly “The Boys are Back in Town,” seems to acknowledge that fans of the cult favorite have been clamoring for the pair to get back together and now they have....

The Frozen Wilds The announcement went somewhat under the radar amid the hustle and bustle of E3, but there is astory expansionin the works forHorizon Zero Dawn. Guerrilla shared a short video ofThe Frozen Wildsat the show (embedded here for your convenience). Now, we have a date: June 02, 2025. “Set in icy territories to the north, this new chapter of Aloy’s journey adds a new area to explore, new mysteries to uncover and new, highly lethal machines to take on,” reads the summary....

The military bunker is one of the best spots to look inDayZFrontline’sSakhal map, and raiding it should be high on your priority list. Located in the southwest part of the main island, the military bunker has plenty of resources to loot. However, this place is full of danger, and it’s better to gear up before you try to approach the place. Unlike other POIs in Sakhal, you’ll first have to unlock the doors using a generator, which is located slightly away from the bunker....

What’s Up, Doc? Exploring Hyrule yields many rewards. There are shrines to find,Koroks to help, NPCs to befriend, and monsters to battle. The kingdom is also filled with herbs and plants that produce fruits and vegetables. With the right ingredients, it’s possible to make sumptuous meals and even gain the help of a horse god. It’s worth knowing how to get Endura Carrots inTears of the Kingdom, as they are rare but useful vegetables....

I really don’t want an Xbox One 2.0 When Microsoft first announced that it was considering modular revisions for Xbox One hardware, I was actually somewhat on board with the idea. If done right, games would all run acceptably on the base hardware, with improvements on revised hardware and a second-hand market influx making entry level hardware affordable to a larger audience. It could completely shake up the way we look at console life cycles....

In thisbonus footagefrom CollegeHumor’s Bleep Bloop, pop culture journalist Chuck Klosterman argues that, unlike works found in literature or film, games can be reasonably said to have gotten better and better as the years have gone by in every conceivable way. “Even if the technology changes, no one looks atAvatarand says, ‘that’s absolutely a better movie thanStar Wars‘ or whatever. But in videogames, it’s pretty much impossible to ever say the old games were better than the new games....

I reject my humanity, Jojo Ever since I started blogging on Destructoid, I’ve not bothered to keep it a secret that I’m part of the furry fandom. I mean, yeah, it’s weird to say I like pretending to be a giant moth man with extraneous kaiju-like features, but have you seen everyone else here? Destructoid is a bunch of lovable weirdos! For obvious reasons I’ve downplayed it since I became a front page contributor, but I continue to own it because, well, that’s just me being honest about my other hobbies (not to mention some of my favorite artists who identify with the fandom likeMarc KnelsenandAlberto Hernándezare responsible for some pretty exciting work on games)....

First-person zombie shooter The nextResident Evilgame is a quick, almostCounter-Strike-esquecompetitive third-person shooterwhere zombies act as mere environmental hazards as you work to kill other gas-mask-faced men. Moving Hazard, shown in alpha above, is a similar deal, but with aDying Light/Dead Islandhue toUmbrella Corps‘ grey grit and a first-person perspective. “If you take the best parts of a military shooter likeCounter StrikeorSOCOM, and add tons of flesh-hungry undead that you can control, you begin to get a basic idea of whatMoving Hazardwill be like,” publisher IllFonic president Charles Brungardt said....

Cyan is entering the crowdfunding market Out of all of the studios and developers gaining a second life via Kickstarter, it’s honestly surprised me that it’s taken this long for Cyan to get in the game. The developers behind the seminalMystare looking to fundObduction, a new IP that will draw on some of the same themes from the adventure game classic that’s celebrating its 20th anniversary this year. In the video above, Rand Miller cites a lack of enthusiasm from publishers and the desire to stay totally independent....

According to a recent update development for the title is “at full pace,” but they seem to have another trick up their sleeve.
