Pokemon has long been known for its western slogan of “Gotta Catch ‘Em All,” which is even more true now in Pokemon Go than it has ever been before. The early Pokemon you will be catching are pretty easy to catch, but as with any Pokemon game, the difficulty of catching them gradually increases throughout the experience.

Portal 2 almost saw the light of day as a game about the past of Aperture Science instead of the future. Chet Faliszek and Jay Pinkerton revealed that Portal 2 almost went an entirely different route than the original, in a prequel style game. This would have meant that none of the familiar technologies of the original Portal game would have even existed, and ultimately Portal 2 could have been a much different experience than the one we received recently from Valve....

Ubisoft is trying its best to encourage the decision for players to pre-order Tom Clancy’s The Division 2 for the PC by offering them a free game.

Is Royal’s main new character in Strikers? Is Kasumi Yoshizawa in Persona 5 Strikers? With Persona 5 Royal fresh in everyone’s minds, many people are wondering if Strikers will include any references to the new content from the game. Persona 5 Royal was an excellent retelling of Persona 5’s story with several significant additions that made everything even better the second time around, and considering Strikers is mainly just an opportunity to get the gang back together one last time, it’d be great to see Kasumi alongside the rest of the Phantom Thieves as they take a road trip across Japan....

Brazilian Nintendo fans once again find themselves campaigning for a game to be localized in Portuguese. This time it is for the upcoming Pokémon Scarlet and Violet games. These Pokémon games will be based on the Iberian Peninsula — specifically Spain and Portugal.
