  2018 Games of the Year

  
  A week or two ago I took you through some of the games I felt were the worst video games in 2018. There were a variety of reasons included for why those games made that list, ranging from the games just being broken to the games just being boring.
  
  Today, we're going in the opposite direction. Today, we are going to look at some of the best games of 2018. The list, with one exception is in no real particular order. I will try to keep it brief since this is probably already a...

  Apex Legends - A Free-to-Play Titanfall Battle Royale Game Coming Out this Monday

  
  This weekend's rumor of a free-to-play Titanfall branded battle royale game sure picked up traction in a hurry. It first seemed to originate from a YouTube channel with a less than stellar reputation. However, since then it seems that other sources are now coming forth to say that "yes, there is actually some merit to this rumor."
  
  Apparently, a free-to-play Titanfall battle royale game will be released this Monday. The release will happen on PC, Xbox One, and PlayStation...

  An Official Groundhog Day VR Game was Just Announced

  
  The original Groundhog Day movie came out back in 1993. It starred the always fantastic Bill Murray and Andie MacDowell. It was written and directed by Egon himself, Harold Ramis (may he rest in peace).
  
  The premise was simple: A weatherman (Murray) is stuck in Punxsutawney, PA doomed to repeat February 2, otherwise known as "Groundhog Day," for all eternity. It was part comedy, part depressing realizations, and part romance all rolled into a single film set in one...

  Cyberpunk Thriller '>observer_' Arrives on Nintendo Switch February 7

  
  One of my favorite games from 2017, Observer (stylized as >observer_), is coming to at least one more platform. That platform is none other than the Nintendo Switch. On February 7, the cyberpunk world of Observer will put your detective skills to the test for $29.99.

  Ace Combat 7 Released on PC Today

  
  The PC release of Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown is finally here. It arrived a bit later than its console versions. The PC version seems to be only available through Steam. I'm just as surprised as you are.
  
  If you purchase the game before March 4, 2019, you will get the "Launch Edition" of the game at no extra charge. This includes a playable F-4E Phantom II aircraft, and three skins from the previous games (Su-37: Yellow 13, F-14D: Razgriz, F-15C: Pixy). This can be...

  This game is very much the definition of "Early Access" in that the release lacks content and is very buggy. Those who went through the long stretch...
