There once was a time when people who beat games could only snap a Polaroid picture of it to prove it to their friends. Now, thanks to achievements and trophies, you can brag all you...

Let's get one thing straight: Borderlands'  "Pre-Sequel" did a lot of things right, but Borderlands 2 is practically legendary in it's re-playability. It's games like the latter people remember Pandora for, so what's say we get more romps like...

Of course everyone still cares about Half Life. *nervous laughter* I do, however, have to address the issue of just where in the hell's our highly-anticipated Half-Life 3. Do people still care? It means a lot to...

As Super Bunnyhop put it, Nier: Automata is the "weeb trash" version of Waiting for Godot. In exploring its existentialist concepts, it tells a story only possible due to gaming's uniquely interactive space. It was...

Story Time Gather round, young ones. I come with a tale of what you may think is terrifying, but in actuality, it created some fond memories. Before the Xbox 360 era, you actually had to...

I know right! I can’t believe it's finally arriving! Fans waited for three years for news; for anything about the Resident Evil 2 Remake. Even a screen shot or gameplay leak, but Capcom must’ve had...

Agent 47 has had tough years, with Absolution and (the sort of reboot?) 2016 entry "HITMAN” getting flak for various reasons. Now I liked Absolution but understand why people don’t like it. HITMAN had many...

For decades, women and minorities have been vastly under-represented in video games. And it's no secret that women in gaming have been crying out for more representation. This reached a boiling point several years ago....

Why shorten the title? (only fans can do that). Why continue with “The Swarm” even though they’re just the locust. Why continue this series without any innovation or dynamic elements? *Sees Funko pop game* Dear...

This has been one of the few exclusives that Sony fans have been dying to get their hands on. But also equally the responses have been “eh”. I can say for myself that while I...

Vanquish doesn't fuck around. It's loud, bombastic, and relentless. If you get caught in the crossfire, you're dead. Vanquish is a difficult game. It forces players to forget their preconceived notions of how modern third-person...

Ghost of Tsushima seems to be my childhood dream come true. In my life, I have always gravitated to Japanese culture. My dad’s childhood best friend is a first generation Japanese-American. Growing up around him and his...

There was once a time you could buy a game and immediately start playing said game. There was even a time where you could hook up your new system and play that right away. Those...

When EA released the first look at Battlefield 5, they should have been nervous. We're not talking about the typical nerves before releasing a trailer. Instead, they should have been nervous about the backlash the...

The Good The E3 2018 Sony Press Conference had plenty of stand out moments. The Last of Us Part 2 looked stunning and so did Ghost of Tsushima. The Last of Us Part 2's gameplay showcased absolutely...

There’s been a fair amount of debating over the last few years regarding a single matter (puns, yep). Gamers have been divided and debated whether or not single player games are dying out and if...

tinyBuild, the indie game publisher behind titles like Hello Neighbor and Clustertruck, took a page out of Devolver Digital's book. Rather than putting on a traditional show, tinyBuild released a nine-minute pre-recorded skit. As an appetizer...

Six years on, Dead or Alive 6 is a tangible thing. Tomonobu Itagaki's baby, which started as a sexy Virtua Fighter clone in 1996, has come a long way. Beginning life as a very casual...

Since it’s official reveal trailer at the end of last month Battlefield V has been a hot topic. With the trailer having over 10 million views likes and dislikes were bound to happen. But with...

It is no secret that I am a huge fan of Platinum Games. They produce AAA games that are different than the glut of mainstream games we generally receive. They've grown a lot since their...

After all of the leaks, rumors, and questions we finally have the truth: Pokémon Go for the Switch is the real deal! It has everything to attract old, new and current trainers. In Pokémon: Let's Go!...

The id Software of today is not the id that released Doom in 1993. Founded in 1991 by John and Adrian Carmack, Tom Hall, and John Romero, today's id is a different beast. Shortly after...

With E3 just around the corner, we’ll have lots of news on new titles. But let’s take a moment to take a look at some old news Anthem. Anthem was announced last year during E3 as...

With a 6.9 Metacritic user average, Gears of War 4 isn't a fan favorite. Different consumers have different reasons for disliking it, but its campaign was the worst offender. Regardless of its launch status, it's...
