The dog of Fable 2 is most well known for being part of one of the biggest choices in the game. The dog, who is your loving companion throughout the game, dies protecting you in a boss fight. At the end of the game, you get to choose a major reward. You have three choices: a ton of wealth, reviving the people who died or reviving your dog. Guess what a lot of players end up choos
Spread across three cities, Driv3r's clunky controls and ridiculous mission restrictions pad out what would otherwise be a very short game. Though new players will struggle—particularly with the Adventure Game strategy's later challenges—those who know what they're doing could cruise through in just a few hours. Even so, those less familiar with the game should still be able to finish it in around ten ho
Rise of the Ronin is similar to the Assassin's Creed series, depicting real-life historical characters woven into the fictional story of the Blade Twins' quest for vengeance. The twins even encounter a character called Ryoma Sakamoto, a real-life Ronin who was the protagonist of Like a Dragon: Ish
Silent Hill 2 from 2001 stands as one of the greatest horror games ever made and pushed the medium forward with its nuanced story about guilt, trauma, and lust. The next entry was a worthy successor, though the series never again reached the second game's artistic heights. Things looked up in 2014 when Silent Hills was announced through the enigmatic demo P.T. The title, a collaboration between Hideo Kojima and Guillermo del Toro, was tragically canceled by Konami due to their drastic business restructuring. It doesn't look like a proper Silent Hill follow up will come anytime soon. At least Kojima moved on to release Death Stranding , one of the year's most unique AAA tit
At the beginning of the Square Enix E3 2019 presentation, fans received a very long glimpse at the Final Fantasy 7 Remake . A lengthy trailer also provided another glimpse at the game including the new combat mechanics , boss battles, and previously unrevealed characters like Tifa Lockhart and Sephiroth. The trailer helped win over many fans who were worried about the game's lengthy development cycle and phased roll out pl

Persona 5 Royal may have a different vibe from the Yakuza games, but the modern-day setting will appeal to those who enjoy the Yakuza series. The modern-day Tokyo setting will resonate with fans of Kamurocho from the Yakuza games. The protagonists and relatable supporting cast are as endearing to the player as the Yakuza games, with backstories that fans can get beh
Fiction's most famous secret agent has made undeniable contributions to the medium. GoldenEye 007 on the N64 revolutionized the first-person shooter and local multiplayer games. After the 1997 masterpiece, a steady stream of releases came through until 2012 when 007 Legends stopped it all in its tracks. The compilation of famous playable set pieces throughout the franchise was panned as one of the worst first-person shooters in recent memory. Since then, not even murmurs of a new game have popped up. Given the character's relationship to the medium, he deserves a glorious ret
This unforgiving turn-based strategy series was adored by its niche audience back in the '90s. After 2001, the franchise dropped off the map for more than ten years until 2012's X-COM: Enemy Unknown . The title received more attention than usual for the genre and managed to break into the mainstream audience. A sequel came out in 2016, ratcheting up the difficulty and arsenal of weaponry. Rarely do such difficult games garner such a player base, but this decade has seen intense challenges gain a new appreciation with this series and games like Dark Sou

It's next game, Observer: System Redux is effectively a next-generation port, taking the original game and updating it with enhanced visuals and gameplay, as well as brand new story content . Observer: System Redux is coming to PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X in the fourth quarter of 2
Isabella is very popular, but K.K. Slider was around since the beginning and enchanted players with his mellow speech and passion for song. He is not a one-trick pony either, as he has over 90 songs since New Leaf came
