I've thoroughly enjoyed my 2.5 playthroughs (and counting) of Resident Evil Village. But while the main story is a blast to roll through, I've been having a much less consistent time with The Mercenaries. It could be worse. It absolutely co...

I never fully "got" the so-and-so fighting such-and-such mod craze, but that was before I came across this gem on the Bloodborne subreddit — it's a brawl between Lady Dimitrescu and Lady Maria. This video was orchestrated by Garden o...

In this 3 Minute Review, The Escapist's Will Cruz covers Of Bird and Cage, a metal album meets adventure game from Capricia Productions. It really has to be seen — and heard — to be believed. There's only so much time each week...

Folks, I've spent over 10 hours power washing, and I feel great. Ahem. I've spent over 10 hours power washing houses, cars, and even a skate park... inside a simulation PC game. I know what you're thinking — you've got that trademark ...

Shortly after the Steam and GOG release of Saints Row: The Third Remastered on May 22, Deep Silver will be rolling out the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S versions of the remaster. I know, I know — this (surely) isn't your favorite ...

I haven't forgotten about Sludge Life, a wonderfully weird graffiti platformer-adventure game from Terri Vellmann, Doseone, and Devolver Digital, but I had forgotten that it was coming to Nintendo Switch. The day's almost here, too — ...

The next phase in Sony's Play at Home 2021 giveaway is a bit... unexpected. After giving out a dozen PS4 titles this year including Ratchet & Clank, Horizon Zero Dawn, and Subnautica, the next freebies are just in-game content rather th...

I can't begin to describe the whiplash I experienced today when I learned that not only is there a toy duck version of Yakuza's Kazuma Kiryu, he's just the latest in a long and bewildering line of gaming, movie, and comic book characters &m...

Resident Evil Village players have discovered a sneaky trick to make the infinite ammo unlocks in the post-game Extra Content Shop less of a grind. Before I get into the convoluted setup, it's worth mentioning that this method works best if...
