    The Biggest Games Releasing in January 2026

    Very few times of the year are truly dead for games anymore, with former doldrum months like July and August, or February and March, now often being filled with killer games.  This year, though, January actually earns the label. It’s not empty, but the release slate is light enough that you can be selective, or finally chip away at that ever-growing backlog without feeling like you’re missing out. And if you stocked up on holiday deals the last couple months, now's the time to turn your attentio...

    The Most Anticipated Games of 2026

    This year is already shaping up to be a killer one when it comes to games, and not just because that one game we've all been waiting for is probably going to come out, finally. There's a ton of other stuff already on the docket for 2026, and this list, for obvious reasons, doesn't even cover the stuff we don't know about yet.  If we get even two-thirds of this list in our hands by the end of the year, then we have a lot to look forward to. Editor's note: All of the games on this list are traditi...

    This Was the Year of the Ninja Video Game—These Were the Best in 2025

    If you're a gamer who also loves ninja-themed stuff, 2025 might've been the best year ever. It seems everyone and their dog were releasing ninja and samurai games this year, as if they'd discussed it beforehand.  Including a remaster and a new platform for an older game, we count eight ninja and samurai games released this year alone, and nine if you're willing to include a Ninja Turtles tactics game.  Let's talk about the plethora of katana-centric games that hit PC and consoles this year.

    Can’t-Miss Indie Games You Should Play From 2025

    People have been debating the meaning of the term "indie game" for years. What is an indie game? On paper, Hades 2 and Hollow Knight Silksong are both indie games, as they're games self-published by developers that are not connected to a larger publisher. But they're also both huge sequels to huge games—essentially guaranteed success, to some degree, unless things go spectacularly wrong. (They didn’t.) Compare that to something like Blue Prince, an original puzzle game that barely anyone had hea...

    The Best Games of 2025 That You Can Snag for Under $20

    If rising hardware prices and $80 software weren’t enough proof that gaming’s getting pricier, the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and Mario Kart World price tags should seal it. But you don’t need a high-end console or premium release to have a good time. Dig into the indie scene, and you’ll find a stack of great games that cost next to nothing. Every title here costs $20 or less, and many drop even lower during sales. Better yet, they run on just about anything; some barely need a GPU at all,...

    The Best Co-Op Games of 2025 to Play With Your Pals

    Gamers love competitive shooters—that much is obvious from the popularity of games like Battlefield, Call of Duty, and Fortnite. Cooperative games are often overlooked, though. They aren't quite as popular and can get washed away in the mix of ultra-popular competitive shooters and high-profile single-player games. But they offer an alternative to either staying offline or going online and getting stomped by people who have much more time to get good at the game than you do. They offer the conne...

    7 Under-the-Radar Gaming Gems You Might Have Missed in 2025

    Back in the early days of gaming, it almost seemed like it would be possible to play every game, provided you had the money.  Not only that, but games were gatekept by console makers and publishers. These days, though, there are too many games to play, and not nearly enough time to play them. That means that there are hidden gems all over the place—games you don't even know about that could easily land among your all-time favorites.  These games can be tiny little games that simply didn't have...

Well, that's no longer the case. There are a bunch of killer games releasing this December.

    The Biggest Games Releasing in November 2025

    When it comes to game releases, November can sometimes be a slow month. When it is, there's a reason for it: There's a heavy hitter coming and everyone wants to get out of the way. Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 hits this month, which is why September and October were pretty jam-packed this year. Even so, there's a bunch of stuff hitting aside from Call of Duty—puzzle games, VR games, racing games, and more. There are also some updated versions of pretty great games coming: Yakuza Kiwami 1 and 2 are...

    The Best Nintendo Switch 2 Games to Play Right Now

    So you just spent $450 on a Nintendo Switch 2—or maybe more, depending on how the market behaves in the near future—and you want to play something new on it. Technically, there are thousands of games to play on your Switch 2, thanks to backward compatibility, but a slightly better framerate isn’t a very enticing reason to dive back into a game. No, you want it to feel new. It should be a Switch 2 exclusive game, ideally, but there aren't many of those just yet. If it can't be an exclusive, then...

This month features ninjas, science fiction, an 8-bit mouse, and more. There will be something for just about any gamer.

    August is the month of "Remember that Franchise?" Aside from the annual Madden game, a lot of the games we're looking forward to this month are returns to older franchises—one of which hasn't seen a new entry in almost 15 years.  There are a few remake/remaster-type games on this list, but our first entry, Mafia: The Old Country, is a return to the series' roots.  The new Dying Light game takes us back to the original protagonist, but in a new environment and with new powers.
