  • Fortnite Chapter 2 Offers Big Changes for Battle Royale and Very Little for Save the World

    Black hole sun, won't you come...

    Thousands of people watched a mysterious black hole where Fortnite once stood. Literally.

There was no Save the World. There was nothing. There were some random numbers at times, but who really cares.

    All of that nothingness has led to today's launch...

  • Review: GreedFall (PC)

    Review: GreedFall (PC)

    A long and thrilling journey.

    GreedFall is a game that filled a gaping void I did not know I had for a new action-RPG experience. Though it lacks some of the polish you would expect from a major game release these days, the game still rewards the player with fun and varied combat, complex story beats, and an overall experience that should make even the veterans at BioWare sit up and take notice. For those of you that have been on the fence about picking up GreedFall, you would be doing...
