After dropping the V2 generation of Kishi mobile gaming controllers for Android systems earlier this summer, Razer has now followed up with its iPhone variant for those on Apple iOS platforms. Just like its Android counterpart, the updated version of the Kishi controller can slide together in a compact form factor when not being used and expands outwards to open up a cavity for your iPhone when engaged.

In anticipation of its November release, Nintendo and Game Freak have now released a new trailer for Pokémon Scarlet and Violet.

A new feature called Terastallizing will also be introduced, allowing various Pokémon to become gem-like forms with strengthened stats and abilities. Some can even change types, such as Pikachu, who transforms into a Flying-type Pokémon with balloons attached to its back. On top of Grafaiai, other additions to the franchise will include Fi...

With just two months to go until the highly-anticipated release of God of War: Ragnarok, Santa Monica Studio has now offered fans of the franchise a closer look at how its combat system has evolved for the latest installment. Speaking to Game Informer, lead combat designers Mihir Sheth and Denny Yeh explained that a key part of developing the new title involved looking back at how Kratos fought in its predecessor and figuring out ways to improve his combat style in order to make it more engaging for players. “That’s an internal philosophy that we’ve had since back in the day,” Sheth says. “Kratos plays with his food. We tried to create systems you want to engage with that are fun, very playful, lots of different routes. And when we looked at the combat in the last game, we were like, ...
