There’s a new 90’s shooter on the horizon, and it’s name is DUSK! Currently in development by New Blood Interactive, DUSK aims to help fill the void left by the decline of the classic FPS. If the trailers and early critical reception is anything to go by, then signs are good that it’ll be able…

I’m…still not sold on Destiny 2
Despite having some Destiny disillusionment, I couldn’t help but check out the Destiny 2 beta a couple weeks ago. I honestly wasn’t expecting much so I found myself pleasantly surprised by what it had to offer. The opening mission was engaging, the revamped Crucible was fun, and the “Inverted Spire” strike was at least new…
Nintendo confirms SNES Classic pre-orders to open this month
Nintendo recently confirmed that the SNES classic will be available for pre-order later this month. In a move to address the recent confusion surrounding pre-orders for the already popular SNES classic, Nintendo announced on their Facebook page that the console would indeed be made available for pre-order in late August. In the event that you…
Relying on Lootboxes is a Mistake
Are you really happy with the lootbox system? I’m not. At first I thought they were fun. I mean, who doesn’t like the feeling of opening what is essentially treasure chest? The thing is though, almost all of the fun in a lootbox is found in the opening. Once it’s done, it’s done, and hopefully…
Observer: A Cyberpunk Experience from Bloober Team
The makers of “Layers of Fear” have announced a new game recently. The project is known as “Observer” and appears to be a horror game set in a cyberpunk style future. It looks promising, but question is whether or not Bloober Team has learned from past mistakes and criticisms.
Pyre and Buying Based on Developer
Most of the time, buying a game based solely on who’s developing it is good way to set oneself up for disappointment. Heck, in this modern world of video game advertising it can be a bad idea to buy based off a demo (I’m looking at you vanilla Destiny). There is still a short list…
The Road Better Left Untaken
I love Crash but playing through the Crash Bandicoot N’ Sane Trilogy reminded me of just how infuriating the original game could be. It requires much greater levels of precision and endurance than its successors, and there no level that typifies this more than “The High Road’. I truly, absolutely, wholeheartedly, and unabashedly hate “The…
Indie Games On-Demand?

The service is currently in closed beta until July 24th, but once it launches it will offer users unlimited ad-free access to a…
Persona 5 and Rivers in the Desert
I know that I’m about three months late in saying this, but I gotta say it anyway: Persona 5 is excellent! I’d never played a Persona game before this one, so I went into it not really knowing what to expect. What I got was a game with a familiar-yet-new combat system, characters that I…
Killing the 3DS Would Neither Be All That Amazing, Nor a Gift for Nintendo Fans
Handheld gaming should be dead right now. It’s now 2017 and handheld gaming still isn’t dead despite years of predictions to the contrary. Smartphones and mobile gaming were supposed to kill it as soon as they became popular, but here we are. Smartphones are nearly ubiquitous and mobile gaming has become a huge market. Despite…
