Despite mixed reviews, documented lag issues, and a heap of criticism from players, Splash Damage’sBrinkis estimated to have sold around 2.5 million copies. According toCEO Paul Wedgewood, the Bethesda-published multiplayer shooter made some pretty damn good cash. “With Splash Damage, we finished Brink, and it’s estimated to have sold more than 2.5 million units worldwide, which at retail would mean that it’s generated around $120-140 million in revenue,” he toldGamasutra.“But of course, as an independent video game developer, we don’t earn that kind of revenue, as we’re not the publisher of the title … but we could see there was the potential to serve our fans content directly, and while we don’t want to take anything away from what Splash Damage does, we wanted a vehicle that we can dedicate exclusively to that pursuit....

I’ve played many games in my time, but there’s only one game that I keep coming back to, Chrono Trigger....

There are many imposing forms a boss can take, but I don’t know I’d count a bucket among them. And yet, that’s whatChrono Triggerdoes. It puts a bucket in front of you and asks if you think you may beat it. It’s a question that’s lingered every minute since. I’ve been playing throughChrono Triggerfor the first time, nigh-unspoiled on what makes this role-playing game such a legend in the genre. (So if you’re scrolling down to the comments already, please be chill....

Season 22 introduced a slew of changes toApex Legends, but unlike many previous seasons, one Legend change has had a huge impact on competitive team compositions.

The ALGS (Apex LegendsGlobal Series) is where teams from around the world battle it out to show they’re the best and, hopefully, take home a decent chunk of the $1 million prize pool....

Shankar also thanks fans for the positive reception forCastlevaniaseason 2on Netflix, which he credits for a quick third season renewal.

His style involves huge-hitting moves with recoil My Hero Academiais riding high right now. Not only is the 2014 manga still going strong, so is the anime adaptation: which is now in its third season and just recently hosted its first film, which even hit US theaters. Yep, the adventures of the meek Izuku Midoriya have an every man feel to it that folks have latched on to, and we still haven’t even gotten a taste of the localized version of the first console game (a follow-up to the 2016 3DS release)....

However, thisGods Will Be Watchinglaunch trailer is bleak enough that you won’t want to celebrate anything, not even the game’s impending July 24 release. At least it isn’t as cringe-worthy as thelast trailerwas. From what I’ve seen of this title, if there are indeed gods watching us, they probably won’t look too favorably upon our actions....
