New Guardians Of The Galaxy Game Starts With 2 Shocking Deaths, Completely Skips Origin Story
Episode 1 of Guardians of the Galaxy: The Telltale Series has been released, giving way to a new type of Telltale game. Being the first video game to tie in directly with the Marvel franchise, as well as being superhero themed, #GuadiansoftheGalaxy treads fresh ground for the comics company as well. Indeed, Marvel may be leading the charge in cinematic features, but it's been decidedly lacking in quality video games over the past few years. This episodic graphic adventure game series could finally change all that.

Harry Potter is without a doubt one of the most successful franchises based on any number of books, and its good to know that J.K. Rowling isn't slowing down any time soon.

'Far Cry 5' Ditches Exotic Setting To Tackle A More Familiar, Disturbing Threat
Far Cry's villains are often exalted for possessing a unique brand of eccentric evil, turning the most brightly-lit, exotic locales into their own dark and twisted playgrounds. In the past, video game villains have fallen into neat templates and stereotypes: zombies, Nazis, Nazi zombies, aliens, "foreign" terrorists, militant groups and the like. But there's something about Far Cry 5's villainy that is both uncomfortably familiar and yet new ground for the series, introducing a distinctly Americanized adversary.

'Far Cry 5' Gameplay Reveal Brings Brutal Cults To The Heartland of America
The Far Cry series has been numerous things over the years, and controversial is undoubtedly one of them. Through the history of Far Cry, we've gone to countless exotic locales, but the directive has remained the same: Survive, evade, and murder the locals. Through our character, we've visited the South Pacific, a fictional country tucked in the Himalayas, an unnamed African country, and an Asian-Pacific island group.

Marvel Vs. Capcom: Infinite Returning to Two Vs. Two Format. Is This a Good Idea?
One of the major video game announcements that came in late 2016 was that of Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite, the sixth main entry in the #MarvelVsCapcom series. This franchise has been around for 20 years and continues to grow in popularity with each subsequent release. The last installment wasn't received as well as previous ones, which may be the reason why the newest iteration is being altered.

'Horizon Zero Dawn' Developer Teases DLC Expansion - What Could Fans Expect to See?
After selling 2.6 million copies globally, I think it's safe to assume that Guerrilla Games' first open world game has had incredible success in the few months that it's been available. Horizon Zero Dawn is the best-selling new first party IP launch on the #PS4 system to date, and it has given Sony and Guerrilla Games an incredibly promising future.

7 Awesome Marvel Characters Who Only Appear in Video Games
When it comes to Marvel, the catalog of villains and heroes is enormous. Not including alternate universe depictions, there are probably between 700 and 800 characters who have found their way onto the pages of Marvel Comics. But not every Marvel character has originated from the comics.

'Ghost Recon: Wildlands' Is the Epic Open World Shooter That I've Been Waiting For
To say that I am just a fan of the work of Tom Clancy would be an understatement, because ever since my first experience delving into the worlds that his books have inspired I've been hooked. Now that's not to say that I've loved every game with the Tom Clancy seal, because despite all the praise, I never really got into the Rainbow Six franchise. Yet, Splinter Cell was a staple game during my teen years and the same could be said for the Ghost Recon franchise.

What Could a Video Game Based on The Walking Dead AMC Series Look Like?
Since The Walking Dead premiered on the AMC network in 2010, fans have gone crazy for all sorts of memorabilia and merchandise from the series. From replicas of set pieces to clothing apparel, there's something for everyone when it comes to The Walking Dead. Even before the television series came to be, fans of The Walking Dead comics had gone on to make their own one of a kind merchandise based on The Walking Dead. However, there's one type of merchandising which The Walking Dead seems to be lacking an abundance in: Video-gaming.

Meeting the Tribes of 'Horizon Zero Dawn'
If there is one thing that exceeds expectations in Horizon Zero Dawn, it's all the minuscule details that went into the development of a world set in a post-post-apocalypse. The game both hints toward our technologically advanced society as well as the potential regression that our culture could face with the incorporation of that very same advanced technology.
