The Best Video Games Of 2017

Metroid: Samus Returns finally addresses one of the injustices of the Metroid franchise: that its second instalment remained a mystery to many players. Metroid 2: Return of Samus released for the Game Boy, but never quite received the same longstanding acclaim as the original game or follow-up Super Metro


One pitfall that PUBG will need to watch out for is not to become too niche or difficult for players to get into. At the moment the sheer potential and power of PUBG is enough to keep new players coming and old players sticking around, but that's not going to last forever. Eventually, players will drop off as they are enticed by new games that hit the market. That doesn't mean purely direct competitors to PUBG , but games across the board - some of those highly anticipated games of 2018 will take PUBG players away regardless of whether they offer similar gameplay at


The anticipation of hitting the ground, especially when there's a whole bunch of killers touching down around you and your squad, can be nail biting. But then, your chute snags on nothing, and you dangle above the ground uselessl

With that in mind, PUBG Corporation will be thinking about ways to not only maintain PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds' position, but push it even further, and turn the game into an essential landmark of video games as a whole. As World of Warcraft shows, some games can become more than just games, particularly when it comes to building something around online play, but doing so requires a level of quality that few games can reach - and a smidgen of l


Thankfully, the best moments of 2017 are some of the greatest in gaming history, with the year seeing the release of some of the most engaging and breathtaking video games ever created. Without further ado, here is a rundown of the best games of 2


The story of giant mechs fighting giant monsters told in Pacific Rim pulled from decades of Japanese anime and films, but director Guillermo del Toro didn't copy any one movie when developing his own. But as a die hard gamer, it's no surprise to see futuristic pilots in VR helmets working in unison to launch special attacks, taking on more and more difficult enemies. Del Toro even called on Ellen McLain, the voice of the Portal game series' GLaDOS to supply the voice of his own futuristic me


Because of this being the most popular way to win the game, everyone does it and hardly anyone except new players actually try to play the game as intended. So get ready to wait for 30 minutes straight in a bush or in the corner of a building, we wish you l


The legal battle between Epic Games and Too Human developer Silicon Knights was long and complex. Initially, Silicon Knights took Epic to court over the licensing of Unreal Engine 3, with the developer claiming that Epic was in breach of contract by withholding information about the engine itself, leading to the studio needing to build its own engine. However, before too long the tables were turned, and a countersuit led the courts to discover that Silicon Knights' own engine was using thousands of lines of code from the Unreal Eng


These unique PUBG maps that are seriously big are almost too annoying, not only do they run hard on PC and Xbox One consoles, but they make it very hard to play a quick game. Many people in the PUBG community want the game devs to eventually make smaller maps for smaller matches that take less time, but we have doubts that they’ll stray from what they know b


At the time, Pac-Man had yet to make its official release on home consoles, but Atari nonetheless had the exclusive rights to the game on home devices. Although Phillips survived the first ruling on the lawsuit, an appeal then saw the court find in Atari's favor. This particular lawsuit set a major precedent for copyright cases within video games as a whole, but in this instance led to the removal of KC Munchkin! from store shel


Vehicles are just a trap that shouldn’t even exist in the game in the first place. Not only can you hear the old motor from across the map, but you’ll also have to fear people blowing them up when you’re not even close, but it still takes you out! Vehicles are basically what only the noobs use to get around the massive maps. Sure you could probably use one for a few seconds before someone starts shooting at you, but in most cases, it will be a deathtrap because of how loud they


The original Splatoon was a fantastic change of pace from Nintendo, with one flaw: it was stuck on the ailing Wii U. Thankfully, Splatoon 2 can have much more of an impact thanks to its home on the massively successful Nintendo Swit


As video game releases continue to bring in millions, or billions of dollars for major publishers, movie studios are turning to video game movies as their next big thing. But the ties between movies and games have existed longer than most fans, or executives, probably real


Regardless, there are few groups that are as identifiable or, prevalent, apex legends Season 26 as PUBG players. They're constantly rocketing cars off of hills and walls, wearing or swinging frying pans around like their lives depend on it (and they often do), or telling others about the glory of chicken dinners and how hard they are to really
