You can’t miss ’em! Out of all of the Guardians inSonic Frontiers, the Strider has to be the goofiest looking of them all. You literally cannot miss them in the Ares island region: as they tower over most of the map. To kick off the fight just approach them, allow the game to start that boss title card, and get ready to grind.

Use it or lose it For years, I’ve accrued reward points for playing Ubisoft games without going out of my way. I might spend points to, say, unlock a new weapon skin inFar Cry 5or a car inThe Crew 2. It’s also possible to cash in your fun bucks for a 20 percent discount on the Ubisoft Store (though I’m not exactly in the habit of buying games there). I pay little to no attention toUbisoft’s loyalty program, and I feel like the same could be said for many of you....

As revealed by the updatedSuper Mario 3D World + Bowser’s Furygame page listing, the file size for the new Switch release seems to clock in at 2....

Here we go The videogame industry sees its share of controversies and hot-button conversations come and go on a near weekly basis. However, one talking point that always manages to stick around is the topic of ethics, usually with regard to the media. The public generally agrees on what it expects from websites such as this one, and if there were a legitimate claim that an outlet accepted money from publishers in exchange for editorial, there’d be a five-alarm fire immediately burning that site to the ground....

Previously $100 A few weeks back, Best Buy ran a week-long promotion for its “Best Buy Gamers Club Unlocked” program that priced it out at $30 for two years. It basically nets you 20% off new games and 10% off used titles, as well as a number of coupons and extra trade-in incentives. The companyhas just announcedthat the deal is now permanent.

There’s no ‘I’ in team… or in Horde… or in Gears of War With fewer than two months beforeGears of War 4releases, we still don’t know much about Horde mode. We know that the game has a Horde mode, and, well, that’s about it. Now, we have our first clip of it, even if it doesn’t give us a lot to run with. The video, which seems to be exclusive to IGN, is about 10-seconds long but the dissection is stretched out to more than 3-minutes....

Memory: erased I’ve been pouring drinks out for the Wii U for a few years now. I just love that little system that could[n’t] so much and still have so many good times with it that I can’t help myself. I’ll be here until the very last vestige of the Wii U is destroyed by Nintendo, and this week they’re one step closer. As revealed on Facebook, the official Wii U page is being shut down:...

But I’d push you to also look through the rest of the list — particularly the honorable mentions, where there are lots of lesser-known gems to be found....
