Tekken 8: The Final Preview - IGN

Tekken 8: The Final Preview - IGN

IGN — The first fight in Tekken 8's story mode would probably be the finale in just about any other fighting game. A multi-stage, knockdown, drag-out slobberknocker between Jin Kazama and Kazuya Mishima that results in a crashed helicopter, leveled buildings, and an aerial sequence that wouldn't look out of place in The Matrix Revolutions or Man of Steel.

Battle Shapers Preview: Chasing the Perfect Run

IGN — The first time I walked into Volt Colosus's boss room, I knew, I knew, I was gonna wipe the floor with him. It was only my first run in Battle Shapers, but I'd been going through his robotic minions like I was the IRS and they owed me money.

Venture to the Vile Preview: a Victorian-Inspired Metroidvania with Layers - IGN

IGN — Venture to the Vile clicked with me the first time I switched layers to solve a puzzle. I was trying to get to a lever that would open a door farther in, but there wasn't a lever in the area I hadn't pressed, and none of the ones I had opened the door.

Star Trek Resurgence Review - IGN

Star Trek Resurgence Review - IGN

IGN — Star Trek and a Telltale-style adventure game seems like a match made in heaven. The two just fit; Star Trek's best and most beloved stories are about dialogue. Not just two characters talking to each other, but about how people relate to one another and the world around them.

Aliens: Dark Descent Puts You on an Express Elevator to Xenomorph Hell, Going Down - IGN

IGN — "I really should have explored more of the map." That was what I was thinking as waves of xenomorphs hurled themselves at my squad. They'd taken cover behind a large map terminal and, with the help of the three turrets I'd placed at the edges of the room, had mowed down the first few waves.

How PC became the unlikely home of fighting games

How PC became the unlikely home of fighting games

TechRadar — (Image credit: Future, Capcom) When someone says "fighting games," what do you think of? Arcades? Franchises like Street Fighter, Mortal Kombat, or Tekken? Maybe a fightstick or specialized controllers like the Hitbox? Big tournaments like EVO? All of those would make sense. But what you might not associate fighting games with is the PC.

Gungrave G.O.R.E Review - IGN

IGN — Gungrave G.O.R.E has exactly one mission objective, three words that flash across the screen at the beginning of each level and every time you die: Kick their ass. For the 12-15 hour campaign, you'll do exactly that - shoot, slash, blow up, and otherwise execute thousands of enemies and bosses on your quest to eradicate the Raven Clan and save the world from an evil drug called SEED.

The 10 Best Fighting Games - IGN

IGN — Fighting games have a special place in both the past and present of gaming. It's a genre that requires quick thinking, twitch reflexes, and vast amounts of knowledge of both yourself and your opponent's options to play at a high level. It can often seem intimidating.

IGN — Fighting games and story modes can be like oil and water. They're a tricky thing to mix properly, probably because it's hard to tell a story well when your main method of conversation is two characters punching each other in the face.

Fighting Games Taught Me to Love Losing - Into The Spine

Fighting Games Taught Me to Love Losing - Into The Spine

Into The Spine — There's something special about arcades. Dark rooms, lights from hundreds of cabinets illuminating the faces of the kids crowded around various machines, all waiting their turn or losing their quarters. I grew up in arcades; as the only child of a family that was thoroughly against having video games in the house until I was about 10, arcades were my only way to play.
