Dark Souls Remastered is bar none the ultimate version of Dark Souls
Some names in gaming are iconic, and merely mentioning them is enough to recall a specific meaning that doesn’t require any further explanation. Games like Super Mario Bros., The Legend of Zelda and StarCraft are some examples of these timeless classics. No name, however, has resonated more in the last decade than From Software’s 2011…
Vampyr might have a lot of sharp teeth, but it lacks bite
There are times when “throwing the kitchen sink in” works extremely well in games. Examples of that method of game design are aplenty, but the same can be said about the opposite, when putting too many systems into a game without honing any of them particularly well only makes it a bloated mess. Vampyr sits…
With less assassinating and more plundering, Skull & Bones might as well be the next Black Flag
Regardless of what feelings you may hold in regards to Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag, you have to admit it shook things up somewhat for the series. Not nearly as big of an impact as Assassin’s Creed Origins eventually made last year, Black Flag threw in elements that were first introduced in the deeply flawed…
Assassin’s Creed Odyssey doesn’t stray from Origins’ formula, and I’m okay with that
Assassin’s Creed Origins was a refreshing take on Assassin’s Creed last year, and if the demo I’ve played at E3 is any indication, it looks like Assassin’s Creed Odyssey will keep that streak going. Picking up about four hundred years before Origins, around 431 BC, Odyssey is currently the earliest Assassin’s Creed has ever gotten…

E3 2018: Metro Exodus feels like the natural evolution of the Metro franchise
The Metro series is no stranger to breaking ground in games. It was one of the first FPS post-apocalyptic games to come from Eastern Europe, and alongside S.T.A.L.K.E.R, it showed that that part of the world has some great stories to tell when it comes to nuclear annihilation and the rebuilding of humanity that follows….
E3 2018: And here’s a 30+ minute chunk of the new LEGO DC Super-Villains!
The second part of our appointment with Warner Bros Interactive at E3 2018 featured the upcoming LEGO DC Super-Villains game. Here’s a lengthy gameplay reel of what played during my time at their booth! LEGO Super-Villains comes out for just about everything worldwide on October 19th, 2018.
E3 2018: Resident Evil 2 was my biggest surprise at the show
Among the many games that I played during my appointments at E3, getting the chance to try out the new Resident Evil 2 remake was perhaps my biggest surprise at the show. Sure, the existence of this new version of the 1998 classic wasn’t much of a secret, but to find out just how far…
E3 2018: Here’s some pre-release Hitman 2 footage!
Have you ever wanted to see me fumble around Miami trying to make an assassination happen while being guided through an E3 demo? Yeah? Well, this is the closest you’re gonna get, buddy. Here’s some footage from the pre-release version of Hitman 2 that I tested at this year’s E3. The game’s coming out November 13th…
