With Kaiju films getting a jolt from movies like Pacific Rim, it’s easy to forget that things weren’t as glamorous back in 1954 when the original Godzilla movie made its debut, and its star, Haruo Nakajima donned the now infamous, if not mildly goofy-looking, monster suit. Sadly, at the age of 88, Mr. Nakajima has passed away, leaving behind a legacy that is untouchable by anything modern Hollywood could possibly conjure up. Mr. Nakajima made a career out of monster movies, reprising his role as

In 2015, Daniel Craig made it very clear he was uninterested in reprising his role as James Bond after the release of Spectre. After extensive talks with Craig, it was reported that he signed on for Bond 25.

It’s hard to believe that two weeks away from another Uncharted game, by which I mean Uncharted: The Lost Legacy. However, it’s important to note that Naughty Dog wants you to also know that the Uncharted franchise is so much bigger than just Drake himself, which is why you’re playing as two different leads this time around.

The other Metroid game that was announced during E3 2017, Metroid: Samus Returns, will be releasing on the Nintendo 3DS next month and will hold us over until Metroid Prime 4 makes its eventual release.

Cemu Wii U emulator is, well, a Wii U emulator. But that’s not all, the games emulated can also be modded to do things beyond their original limits, which is the case with Mario Kart 8. YouTube user Will recently shared a new video of Mario Kart 8 being played in 8K supersampled to 4K. Mario Kart 8 had a re-release of sorts in the form of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe on the Nintendo Switch. According to our own Mike Splechta, “Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is worth another lap around the track.”

The Casual Connect USA conference went down earlier this week in Seattle, Washington, and mega games publisher and digital game distributor, Valve made an appearance at the show.

Dragon Quest Builders proved to be quite the surprise spin-off in a market where spin-offs can be hit or miss (but mostly miss).

The sequel will pass over the PS Vita, and will instead release on PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch. Also, according to Gamestalk, Dragon Quest Builders 2 will feature 4-player multiplayer, a most welcome addition to a series loo
