Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 has always been considered my favorite in the Modern Warfare series. From it’s excellent multiplayer, to its extremely controversial campaign, the game felt like a proper sequel to an already stellar game.

As a fan of the Resident Evil franchise since essentially day one, Resident Evil 2 was always my favorite due to the unheard of (at the time) replay value.

Recapturing the Gory ’90s Ah yes, the ’90s. The decade that kicked off gaming. I have plenty of memories during that timeframe, mostly being with Mario, Megaman, Doom, and Mortal Kombat.

Video games are an iterative medium. Many developers take what was done before and put their own spin on it to make something new. In that regard, Respawn Entertainment has taken inspiration from Dark Souls (and coincidentally, Sekiro), “MetroidVanias” and the Uncharted series, and even a little Shadow of Mordor in the form of the […]
After taking a break for a year, EA and Ghost Games are back at it once more with a new Need for Speed game titled “Need for Speed Heat.” The big question here now is: Does Need for Speed Heat provide the horsepower to cross the victory line with the other great Need for Speed […]
While we already ran our full Call of Duty: Modern Warfare review, the actual multiplayer is, as most gamers know, the meat & potatoes of the game. While that review covers the overall game we decided to focus solely on the multiplayer for this one, as that is our focus here at MP1st, and is […]

Breakpoint had a lot of potential to deliver a great story. I mean it ain’t the worse one I have ever seen, but it certainly gets buried in a lot of design decisions that the developers went with. Taking place four years after Wildlands, Breakpoint tells the typical story of how one villainous group of […]
It’s been a long time since we got a new Borderlands game, and during its absence, different games filled up the looter shooter genre (to some degree) with the likes of Destiny, The Division, and more.
