Alan Wake 2 Review: A Must-Play Psychological Horror Experience
Easily, the best horror game in years.
In 2010 Remedy Entertainment released Alan Wake, a game where a writer is pulled into a horrifying world seemingly of his own creation. Alan Wake was a game that I bounced off at least two times. Despite the game being well received by critics and fans, I felt like its gameplay was just a repetitive slog that even its unique story could not overcome. When a sequel was announced by Remedy, I found myself extremely indifferent to the news. Still...

Review: Starfield
A safe, if not soulless, journey through the cosmos.
Bethesda Game Studios releases are safe. They are familiar. You know almost exactly what to expect when a major new release from them rolls around. They instill a feeling of "I know this game won't be groundbreaking, but I know I'll have fun." Yes, there are some obvious differences, but the heart of each Bethesda game is almost universally the same. The recent release of Starfield is no different. To put it bluntly: Starfield is Fall...

Babylon's Fall Announced by Square Enix and PlatinumGames
The duo of Square Enix and PlatinumGames announced Babylon's Fall for the PlayStation 4 and PC. This was actually announced at E3 last week but I am a terrible person and seemingly had this one slip under my radar. You just read pretty much everything that has been revealed about the game so far. The only other thing we know is that it will be released at some point in 2019. If it doesn't come out in Autumn of 2019, then somebody somewhere screwed up royally. ...

There Were a Lot of Kingdom Hearts 3 Videos at E3
I think Square Enix really wants to hammer the idea home to you that yes, Kingdom Hearts 3 does exist and yes, Kingdom Hearts 3 will be released on January 29, 2019. We had new trailers from the Xbox E3 event, from Sony's E3 event, and you better believe that there was one at Square Enix's own E3 event.
Let's start with the Xbox one that showcases some realistic Pirates of the Caribbean people with... Goofy.
