When IO Interactive first announced it was making a game based on the most popular spy of all time – 007, aka Bond, James Bond – I was beyond stoked. One of my most-played games of all time is 007: Agent Under Fire on PS2. I've played through its campaign countless times and put just as many hours into its multiplayer (low gravity, grapple hooks, and rocket launchers all day), and since then, I've been wondering when a new 007 would recapture my attention in a similar way. IO Interactive and 007, on paper, is a match made in heaven; it's peanut butter and chocolate, cookies and milk, Mountain Dew and Doritos. But when the excitement of this announcement faded, I began to…

Final Fantasy Tactics – The Ivalice Chronicles remakes one of the greatest tactics games of all-time, adding to it quality-of-life updates, a new visual style, full VO, and more. When it was revealed in June, I was thrilled – it's not the easiest game to legally play these days, a challenge emphasized by Square Enix famously losing the game's source code after rewriting over it when bringing the game to the West after its Japanese release. But I wasn't necessarily thrilled about some of the changes. The biggest change is the new visual style, which, while faithful to the original pixel art in a way, doesn't hold a candle to said original art. I had always dreamed of an H…

Take-Two Interactive Software, the publisher behind Ken Levine's next game Judas, Rockstar's Grand Theft Auto series, and the upcoming Borderlands 4, was in talks to save the recently canceled Perfect Dark reboot, according to a new report from Bloomberg. While Crystal Dynamics owner Embracer Group was close to striking this deal with Take-Two, negotiations ultimately failed, leading to last week's layoffs at Crystal Dynamics. Bloomberg writes that Embracer "had come close to striking a deal" with Take-Two to purchase the game from Xbox, which owned the rights, but that discussions collapsed "at least in part because the companies involved were unable to come to terms ov…

I said yes to a one-hour hands-on preview of Turok: Origins at Gamescom 2025 because of dinosaurs. I thoroughly enjoyed my one-hour hands-on preview of Turok: Origins at Gamescom 2025 because of – surprise – dinosaurs. It turns out, shooting dinosaurs with futuristic bows and arrows, shotguns, and light machine guns while using special class-specific abilities rules. Though my initial impressions of the game are "shooting dinos makes my brain go brrr," there are a few more things about Origins to be excited about. Chief among them: Saber Interactive. Director Jesús Iglesias states that Saber's Madrid studio is the primary team behind Origins, but notes that more than 250…

I can't take it anymore. Why does everything need a battle pass? Why do new card sets drop every month? Why am I constantly bombarded with reminders that my hobbies have time constraints? I'm always told I must move quickly if I want to finish the latest Fortnite or Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 battle pass, complete a Pokémon TCG set, or find the Lightning card I so desperately want from the Magic: The Gathering Final Fantasy collaboration before Wizards of the Coast moves on to the next big collaboration. That sentence is only half as exhausting as my hobbies have become. Perhaps I haven't been paying attention, but it feels like all of my hobbies are constantly telling me …

Back in 2007, Game Informer put an upcoming first-person shooter from a lesser-known studio called Gearbox Software on its cover. The game was from a new IP called Borderlands, and promised, as the cover's tagline said, to combine concepts from action/RPGs like Diablo with the post-apocalyptic setting from series like Mad Max within the wrapper of a first-person shooter. The game looked promising thanks to its tight gameplay, genre-melding concepts, and promise of millions of guns. Still, there was just one problem: Borderlands and Gearbox had a massive identity crisis to address as deadlines rapidly approached. The Borderlands that existed in 2007 – the one Game Informer…

Earlier this month, I traveled to Cologne, Germany, to cover Gamescom 2025 for Game Informer, and one of my various appointments was for a lil ole game called Pokémon Legends: Z-A – ever heard of it? Of course you have, because you totally definitely read my preview where I said it could be the best Pokémon game in years... right? Right? If you didn't (please do), you're in luck! We have a new episode of New Gameplay Today featuring b-roll of the exact demo I played at Gamescom, and myself and Game Informer's Alex Van Aken and Eric Van Allen are here today to share it with you, discuss what's going on in this Legends sequel, and fight a Mega-evolved Absol. Check it out …

In this week's episode of The Game Informer Show, Emmy-nominated writer, comedian, and former Nintendo developer Mike Drucker (The Tonight Show, Bill Nye Saves the World) joins us to discuss our Ninja Gaiden 4 cover story, roguelite first-person shooter Voidbreaker, UFO 50, and his time working on Kid Icarus: Uprising — a formative handheld title for co-host Charles Harte. Later in the show, we laugh about the absurd controls of Metal Gear Solid: Snake Eater 3D, Lumines Arise, and The Rogue Prince of Persia. We connected Drucker with legendary game designer Roberta Williams (King's Quest, Mystery House) to discuss her legacy and its impact on his life in a new feature in…

One of the biggest eyebrow raisers for the upcoming Resident Evil Requiem was the surname of its protagonist, Grace Ashcroft. That's because she's the daughter of Alyssa Ashcroft, an investigative reporter and oft-forgotten character who last appeared in the equally overlooked Resident Evil Outbreak. For the many unfamiliar RE fans, this begs the question: Who the heck is Alyssa Ashcroft, and why has she suddenly become a big deal? To prepare for the next mainline Resident Evil game, we're going to answer this tantalizing question. Resident Evil Outbreak launched for the PlayStation 2 in North America on March 30, 2004. Set only a couple of days after the initial T-virus…
