I was skeptical when I heard that Sennheiser was offering a headset that could provide up to 100 hours of uninterrupted gameplay time. I mean who wouldn’t, right? We’re here not only to check that out, but to also take a look (hear?) at its sound quality, and comfort, too Read on for our Sennheiser […]
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 […]
We put the EwinRacing Champion Series Gaming Chair to the test in our latest product review, and if you’re looking forward to a comfy gaming chair, this might be the thing you’re looking for. Easy to Build, Hard to Break, Good to Sit-In In my long history of dealing with home and office furniture, there […]
It’s been some time since Hideo Kojima developed a game not related to the Metal Gear Solid franchise. which is surreal when you think about it. Enter the legendary creator (and Kojima Productions’) Death Stranding; a completely new IP not shackled by the previous mythos of an existing series. Not only that, but the gameplay […]
Call of Duty is back, baby. It’s no secret that creators of Call of Duty, Infinity Ward has seen better days this generation regarding their corner of the Call of the Duty franchise. Ghosts, while solid, wasn’t quite up to the standards set by Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare and Call of Duty: Modern […]
PopCap Games is back once again with another iteration in the Plant vs. Zombies Garden Warfare franchise, but does this one bear fruit or just a rotten apple at its core? Read on for our PvZ Battle for Neighborville review! If you’ve played any of the last two Plant vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare titles, then […]
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. While not the same games per se, the Borderlands franchise has enough similarities with these games to fall under […]
Developer Spiders is no stranger to creating action-RPGs. Having worked on titles such as Bound by Flame, and Technomancer, it’s clear that these devs have a passion for the genre, even if their budgets haven’t been up to par with bigger AAA titles. While there are some great moments filled in both games, overall they […]
Ever since Supermassive Games released Until Dawn, I’ve been hoping for a sequel. It was one of the first times I’ve ever felt like I was in a Hollywood-produced horror slasher film. Years had passed by though with little hope or announcement. So when The Dark Pictures Anthology – Man of Medan was first shown […]
Control is the latest game to come from the acclaimed studio — Remedy — that brought us Max Payne, Alan Wake, and Quantum Break. Due to exclusivity deals though, Remedy hasn’t touched a Sony console in a very long time. So it’s great to finally see Remedy games back on a PlayStation platform and hopefully […]
Horror games have always been a favorite genre of mine. Finding a hidden gem that manages to surprise and scare is a guilty pleasure. Back in 2016, I stumbled upon just such a game, Bloober Team’s, Layers of Fear — A game that felt as if the player themselves were having a mental breakdown into […]
There’s a fair bit of assumption that if you’re reading this, or you’re interested in playing Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night, that you’re familiar with the Castlevania franchise (most notably: Castlevania: Symphony of the Night), and Koji “Iga” Igarashi’s work. Either that, or you’re familiar with the whole “Metroidvania” style of gameplay, which, for those […]
I’ll admit right away that I never truly gave Crash Team Racing a shot back when it originally launched on the PlayStation console. I was too involved with Mario Kart to care, and I honestly thought it was just a cash grab to try and cater to that fan base. I was much younger then, […]
A very long time after the original announcement at E3 years ago, DayZ has finally hit Sony’s PS4. I have a rather long history with the franchise going back to its origins on PC. At the time, it was an Arma mod that gained a huge popularity in the gaming community. It essentially created a […]
When it comes to games that are far more narrative driven, I usually break them down into two style types: Ones that offers a really guided experience with very little effort of input aside from character guidance and interaction, where the story is key and there is little room for failure; the other is something […]
The world has changed. No longer populated by normal humans, but instead creatures. Freakers people call them. They’re vicious, vile, full of rage and move in numbers. These are not the typical zombies we’ve come to expect. These are living, mutated people. They eat, they sleep, and they feed on anything and everything. They have […]
I’ve been a huge fan of Mortal Kombat since the original arcade release. Growing up and having followed it over the years and various iterations has been great. We have seen some great entries in the franchise since as the team has grown and improved. We have also seen a few missteps as well, […]
