Best Pokemon Games, Ranked From Worst To Best

Posted: 17 Sep 2021 01:25 PM PDT

Pokemon almost immediately took the world by storm. The multimedia juggernaut has become known for a wealth of anime cartoons, blockbuster movies, toys, a trading card game, clothing, collectibles, and of course, video games. That's not bad for a humble little Japanese RPG about catching wild creatures. The core of Pokemon has always been the main RPG series, which has attracted a passionate fanbase and even spawned a vibrant tournament scene. Those RPGs have each added new elements and features to the long-running franchise, but some were certainly more influential than others. We took a hard look at every mainline Pokemon game and determined which ones are just a cut above. Here are all of the best Pokemon games, ranked from not very effective to super effective.

10. Pokemon Black and White 2

Pokemon Black and White 2
Pokemon Black and White 2

All of the Pokemon games loosely take place within a shared universe, but Black and White 2 is the series' only actual, canonical sequel. Set two years after Pokemon Black and White, these sequels revolve around the reemergence of Team Plasma. Though it took place in the same region, it featured new towns and areas that hadn't been accessible in the first game, and a handful of new mechanics. Those included a Pokemon World Tournament that featured famous trainers from the series' history and a new PokeStar Studio side-game. But while it was an enjoyable follow-up to an already solid Pokemon game, it was a little less novel and didn't represent the usual degree of change that we see in a whole new Pokemon generation.

See our Pokemon Black and White 2 review.

Iron Banter - This Week In Destiny 2: Ager's Scepter, All About Uldren, Season 16

Posted: 17 Sep 2021 01:19 PM PDT

Just about every week brings something new to Destiny 2, whether it's story beats, new activities, or interesting new combinations of elements that let players devastate each other in the Crucible. Iron Banter is our weekly look at what's going on in the world of Destiny and a rundown of what's drawing our attention across the solar system.

Let's all take a moment this week and celebrate the fact that, thanks to the excellent new Trials of Osiris changes, I got my first Flawless run and trip to the Lighthouse this week, with the help of GameSpot's own David Ahmadi. Everything Bungie has done for Trials with this revamp is excellent, and while it still needs one more big tweak, the developer said in this week's TWAB that it's already working to address my concerns. Truly nice work here, Bungie.

I'm itching to dig back into Trials today, so let's hurry up and take a look at all the other, non-Trials stuff going on in Destiny 2 this week. Before we move on, though, you should know that Xur has some amazing Legendary guns this week. He's in the Tower. Go clean him out.

SpongeBob SquarePants: The Cosmic Shake Brings Sweet Victory Back To The Franchise

Posted: 17 Sep 2021 12:56 PM PDT

THQ Nordic's showcase today wrapped up with a bubble-bombshell announcement for a new SpongeBob game. Titled SpongeBob SquarePants: The Cosmic Shake, the game will bring players through the cartoon's iconic scenes, including the cast's iconic performance of Sweet Victory at the Super Bowl.

The game starts with SpongeBob and Patrick casting a flurry of wishes using a vial of Mermaid Tears. However, in their rush the duo tears open a portal in space and time (not like that other 2000s cartoon, though), leaving them to travel across different worlds to save Bikini Bottom.

SpongeBob SquarePants: The Cosmic Shake, in contrast to the previous SpongeBob game from Purple Lamp, is a wholly original title, but it will still hinge on the same mechanics. According to the game's Steam page, The Cosmic Shake will include platforming and seven distinct worlds for players to explore. The game will also be voiced by the cartoon's original actors and feature over 100 of its songs.

Outcast 2 Resurrects The 1999 Cult Classic

Posted: 17 Sep 2021 12:30 PM PDT

1999's Outcast was a beloved adventure game that won praise from critics and fans--we named it out 1999 adventure game of the year. Developer Infogrames tried to make a sequel, but the studio went bankrupt and nothing ever came from it. THQ Nordic later acquired the rights and today at the company's 10th anniversary event, announced Outcast 2: A New Beginning.

The original game was praised for its open-world, non-linear structure, and the sequel takes these elements and expands on them for a modern audience. For those new to the series, the original Outcast put you into the boots of an ex-Marine tough guy Cutter Slade who was sent to a planet, Adelpha, in a parallel dimension to stop a black hole from destroying the world.

The sequel picks up right where the first game left off. Something goes wrong on Cutter's trip back to his home planet and so he gets stuck for 20 years. He wakes up not back home on Earth, but still on Adelpha, instead. The people of Adelpha have been enslaved, and Cutter must save them. The game aims to separate itself from the pack with a "self-ironic, wholesome" take on sci-fi stories. There are so many dark and gritty sci-fi games on the market, the studio said, so it wanted to go in a different direction and make a game that was both more colorful in terms of its art and its tone. The developers want to make a world where players feel at home.

Jagged Alliance 3 In The Works From Tropico Developers

Posted: 17 Sep 2021 12:30 PM PDT

Following middling reception for the series' latest releases, THQ Nordic has announced a new Jagged Alliance game with a different developer. Tropico and Surviving Mars developer Haemimont Games is working on Jagged Alliance 3, but it's early days for the project.

Revealed during the THQ Nordic 10th Anniversary showcase, Jagged Alliance 3 aims to improve upon the tepidly received latest entries by attempting to refocus and refine what made the earlier games so memorable and popular. A representative for THQ Nordic said the team is trying to take the "best swing possible" at making Jagged Alliance 3 a game fans appreciate.

The game takes place in a fictional world rich with resources and also complicated political situations (which is well-trodden territory for Haemimont Games from the Tropico series). The president has been captured and you have been brought in to find out what happened.

Destroy All Humans 2 Reprobed Remake Confirmed As Next-Gen Exclusive

Posted: 17 Sep 2021 12:30 PM PDT

Leaked by PlayStation earlier this week, THQ Nordic has now officially announced Destroy All Humans 2: Reprobed, a remake of the 2006 game in which you play as an alien trying to kill every human in sight, again. Reprobed is in development at Black Forest Games, the German studio behind the 2020 remake of the original Destroy All Humans.

Reprobed is set in the same time period and city--1960s in a fictional San Francisco called Bay City--along with other locations inspired by places like London, the Soviet Union, and Tokyo. You will even travel to the Moon because this is Destroy All Humans and it's wacky like that.

For the remake, the developers at Black Forest said during a presentation that, in addition to better-looking graphics and performance--the destruction system is improved upon. Specifically, damaged buildings will now catch fire and go up in flames before they come crashing down.

Paranormal Activity 7 Gets First Trailer And Paramount Plus Release Date

Posted: 17 Sep 2021 12:22 PM PDT

The first trailer for Paranormal Activity: Next of Kin has been released. The seventh movie in the hugely successful found-footage horror series will be released on Paramount+ on October 29.

The plot for Paranormal Activity: Next of Kin has been shrouded in secrecy, and this teaser doesn't exactly give much away. It starts with what seems to be a family gathering around the dinner table in an old house where the father welcomes home "our sister Margot."

The trailer then shows the discovery of a dark, spooky tunnel leading deep underground, followed by lots of quickly-cut scary stuff, including a woman being dragged away by something unseen and the family acting very weird. The trailer also suggests that not all the movie will be in the found-footage style of the previous installments--but we'll have to wait until next month to find out exactly what it's all about. Check the trailer out below:

Latest GTA Online Update Pushes Players Onto Bikes Of All Sizes

Posted: 17 Sep 2021 10:53 AM PDT

The leaves are changing, temperatures are cooling down, and in Los Santos, it's time for players to hop on their bikes in GTA Online. Whether it's a BMX bike ride through the city or high-speed sport bike races, four-wheel vehicle averse players can earn some more cash this week by taking part in a suite of activities. Sadly, this week's focus on bikes also means players won't be getting a new car to pick up either.

This week's GTA Online update was shared via the Rockstar Newswire, which we've detailed down below.

Cruise around or break the speed limit

Bikers of all stripes will have plenty of opportunities to earn some extra cash this week. Casual bikers can participate in the Hasta La Vista Adversary mode, where a truck tries to trample down city cyclists, for three times the cash and XP. On the other end of the spectrum, all bike races are paying out twice the cash and XP, regardless of how players place.

Watch Daniel Craig Get Emotional Saying Goodbye To James Bond On Last Day Of Filming

Posted: 17 Sep 2021 10:48 AM PDT

Actor Daniel Craig has played James Bond for the past 15 years, but with this October's No Time To Die, he's setting down his martini glass and pistol and retiring the character.

The farewell speech that Craig gave to the crew after wrapping No Time To Die has now emerged online. Craig gets emotional in his sendoff, saying, "I've loved every single second of these movies, and especially this one, because I got up every morning and I've had the chance to work with you guys. That has been one of the greatest honors of my life."

Craig also acknowledged some of the controversy about what he said in the past about the James Bond films. He didn't mention any specific examples, but Craig is quoted as saying that, after wrapping up Spectre, he would rather slash his wrists than come back to play 007 again. But Craig did agree to return for the 25th James Bond movie, and he later said his earlier comments--which he made just two days after he wrapped Spectre when he was feeling exhausted--were "really stupid."

Black Ops 4's Blackout Map Is Coming To Call Of Duty Mobile

Posted: 17 Sep 2021 10:18 AM PDT

A massive addition is on the horizon for Call of Duty Mobile. The Blackout map from Black Ops 4's battle royale mode of the same name is coming to Call of Duty Mobile on September 22 as part of one of the biggest updates to the popular game so far.

Blackout, fans may recall, was Activision's first stab at the battle royale genre. It was well-liked, but Activision opted to pursue Call of Duty: Warzone instead, leaving Blackout behind. But it's alive again thanks to Call of Duty Mobile.

No Caption Provided

Blackout in Call of Duty Mobile sounds like it'll be similar to the console/PC version of the map, with many points of interest containing references to popular Black Ops maps like Nuketown, Array, Ghost Town, Firing Range, and Verruckt. "Some areas are nearly identical to their multiplayer incarnations, while others are only loosely based on their known environments," Activision said.

WoW: Shadowlands Will Be Getting One Of Legion's Best Features In Patch 9.1.5

Posted: 17 Sep 2021 09:51 AM PDT

When World of Warcraft: Shadowlands' highly anticipated patch 9.1.5 arrives, it will bring with it a much beloved feature from the game's popular Legion expansion: The Mage Tower.

Originally introduced in patch 7.2, the Mage Tower was shut down following the arrival of WoW's Battle for Azeroth expansion, effectively locking away all of its unique rewards. The feature will return to the game as part of a rotating Legion timewalking weekly event in which players can queue for dungeons from the Legion expansion and earn current-level rewards.

The Mage Tower will function much as it did when it was first introduced, with players being presented a number of challenging solo scenarios based on their class and specialization to overcome. Players will be able to attempt the Mage Tower challenge repeatedly for the length of the event's duration.
