No major spoilers The time has come:Final Fantasy VII Remake, which was announced eons ago, is actually coming out. It’s true, I finished it! Naturally with a release as monumental as this, people have questions. How long is it? Does it really feel like a full game? So, how long is it? It took me roughly 35 hours to beatFinal Fantasy VII Remake. Now, and this is important to note: like all my review work, I didn’t “rush” through it (you would have gotten a review in progress instead in that case)....

And other noticeable quirks from one game played Madden 13was really the shot in the arm the franchise needed after several years of feeling remarkably stale. The implementation of a physics system in retrospect seems paramount for something striving to be simulation football and last year finally brought it, resulting in the most different feeling title the franchise has seen probably since the generation began. The anniversary-namedMadden 25, celebrating 25 years of the franchise, goes back to familiar ground a bit....

Out for Digital Deluxe owners, September 4 for everyone else Marvel’s Avengershas been a roller coaster of a game from the announcement all the way up until its launch today: so long as you’re a Digital Deluxe owner. We first heard it existed back in 2017, but when Square Enix showed it off at E3 2019, people couldn’t believe that it was nearly finished. It didn’t look finished, that’s for sure!...

Best of 2013 Like with our action and adventure categories, we went with breaking down multiplayer into two distinct categories this year. Competitive and cooperative multiplayer both offer such a vast difference from each other that lumping them into one overall multiplayer category wasn’t going to serve these games fairly. Some of these games offer a fun competitive experience on top of a single-player package, while others were just designed with letting players unleash their angry upon others....

Leaked by way of an advert [Update:it’s beenofficially confirmedby Blizzard.] Over on reddit, an astute reader of IGN found an ad campaign forOverwatchthat happened to be emblazoned with the release date — May 24. Before then we didn’t have an exact date from Blizzard, and the campaign presumably was switched on earlier than intended. The game is currently in a closed beta, and will hit the PC, PS4, Xbox One platforms....

The first screens for Platinum Games’ third-person-shooterVanquishhas been revealed, and the game certainly looks like it’ll be hot in the graphics department. Many will criticize the “generic” look of the game, but I think Platinum has earned a break from doing really weird looking stuff. In any case, this studio is yet to steer me too wrong, so I look forward to seeing howVanquishworks. Platinum, to my knowledge, has never done a third-person-shooter before, so it should be something quite fresh indeed....

Analoguehas announcedthat their FPGA N64 console, the Analogue 3D, will be up for preorder starting July 12, 2025. The N64 is one of my favorite consoles, and yes, I’m absolutely aware of all its shortcomings. It may not have the impressive library of the PS1, and all its games have a blurriness to them, like your eyeballs were just hosed down with chlorine, but… uh, listen, I don’t need to explain my affections to you, I just love the console....
