I’m Glad to See Demos Making a Comeback

With games getting ever more expensive and often in new and “exciting” ways, having the chance to try before you buy is extremely valuable. I needn’t list off the merits to you, as there’s really only one that matters: getting to see if the game is actually for you or not. Some games sound great…

Combing the Commonwealth, Again?

When I restarted Fallout 4 after its “next-gen” update in late April, I didn’t have much of an agenda. Maybe I’d save the Commonwealth, maybe not.

Call me gullible, or curious, or something in between, but thanks to the new Amazon Fallout series, I have joined the throngs in returning to the Fallout games’ various wastelands. The TV show, enjoyable as it is, however, is only one part of the bandwagon equation. The other is that Bethesda released last week its…

Helldivers 2 to See Several Weapon Tweaks Soon

As fun as it is, Helldivers 2 isn’t without its flaws. What the team over at Arrowhead has accomplished with the game so far is absolutely commendable, but I’d be lying if I said that the bug list wasn’t becoming distracting, especially the ones affecting some of the weapons. Fortunately though, it seems some of…
