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, […]
The Dead Return…Years Later World War Z, remember that book that spanned a hit movie, the one starring Brad Pitt, a global infection, and massive amounts zombie? Well, regardless of thoughts on the flick, there was one element that stood out, and it was definitely the way the zombies moved, attacked, and devoured everything on […]
Announced and released in the same day, Apex Legends seems to have taken over the gaming world by storm since it launched. While there’s a lot of battle royale games out right now, and there are more on the way, Respawn Entertainment’s Apex Legends seems to have already carved a niche of its own, and […]
Released way back in 1998 for the original PlayStation, Capcom has brought back Resident Evil 2 from the dead, gave it a polish, changed (a lot) of things up in terms of item placements and whatnot, called it this a “remake.” But is it really? Well, it’s actually more than that. Right off the bat, […]
Like the war the game is based on, Battlefield V was met with incredible backlash and skepticism when it was announced earlier this year. Unlike its predecessor that took the FPS genre and the series to a new and virtually unexplored era, Battlefield V was heading back home to its World War 2 roots, and […]
While Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 has been available for over a week now, we decided to hold off on publishing a review ASAP given we wanted to test and experience the game in real world conditions, and also, to know exactly what Treyarch has planned for microtransactions and the like, since that will […]
One of the biggest games of the year — Marvel’s Spider-Man — is now out, and it’s exclusive to Sony’s console the PlayStation 4. The big question now is: does it live up to the hype, or does this spider turn into ash before it does anything good? Right out of the gate, I can […]
Reviewing the Sennheiser MKH 416 in 2018 requires a little creativity, to make sure that I’m adding something new to the conversation. You see, the MKH 416 has been in use for over 40 years, and has seen a hell of a lot of action from professionals in film and TV, in addition to being […]
Fortnite vending machines have been spotted in Fortnite Battle Royale. The vending machine’s function appears to be to allow players to trade raw materials, like wood, for weapons. This could help those struggling to find a weapon in the early game. Fortnite vending machines aren’t yet available through normal means. Twitter user @Markenny_king discovered the vending machines […]
While gamers can play multiplayer games with their TV speakers, more and more players are opting to buy and use proper headsets — and with good reason. Not only do headsets give off better sound quality than your standard TV speakers, they can immerse you in the action better as well. And if that’s not […]
While the Monster Hunter franchise has been alive and kicking for the better part of a decade now, it’s mostly been seen as a “Japanese” gaming franchise. Sure, past iterations made its way to the PlayStation Portable and the Wii, but for the most part, it went under the radar of core Western games…at least […]
Today we’re taking a look at the Elgato Game Capture HD60 S. This is not really a new product, as it’s been out for nearly two years now, but it is still the latest portable PC and console game capture device from Elgato Gaming, a company that I’ve trusted with my gameplay captures for over […]
This is Mack, here with a couple of KontrolFreek products. We have the PS4 versions of the FPS Freek Call of Duty: WWII Edition and the KontrolFreek Performance Grips. KontrolFreek did reach out about just the new WWII thumbstick addons, but then I went ahead and cheekily requested the grips as well, because my pad […]
Let’s get this out of the way first: if you’re reading this review expecting us to just lambaste Star Wars Battlefront II due to the microtransactions controversy, then you’ll sadly be disappointed. While we do touch on that a bit, the review focuses more on the actual gameplay and how it fares (a game reviewer […]
While there are dozens — if not hundreds — of TVs, monitors and the like available in the market, the same can’t be said for personal virtual theaters. Not familiar with those? I don’t blame you. Think of it as giant private screens that can display whatever you’re playing, watching, streaming, and more. Enter the […]
