Hardcore Gamer

Hardcore Gamer HardcoreGamer is a digital publication founded in June 2005 as a hardcopy video game magazine. Hardcore Gamer began its life as a printed magazine in 2005.

It's now an online source for news, reviews, game databases, and more. At a time when magazines were beginning to shut down, we did the opposite. Within months, hundreds of thousands of issues of Hardcore Gamer were distributed to subscribers internationally. We quickly became a trusted source in the industry, employing only writers who were seriously hardcore about gaming.

What an interesting year 2025 ended up being for gaming. If somebody asked in December 2024 what the biggest hits were going to be in the new year, it's doubtful many predictions would be correct. While there were still AAA juggernauts that turned in great experiences like : The Dark Ages, and more, it was the success of smaller and indie developers/publishers that really turned heads.
