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...

Review: Kingdom Come: Deliverance (PC)
I don't remember history being this buggy.
If there is one area that video games come up short in, it's when they attempt to tackle real-life history. Specifically, games come up well short in being historically accurate without also including a healthy dose of embellishment or suspension of disbelief. In nearly all of the games that focus on real-world history, you almost always play as some overpowered jack-of-all-trades. Yes, this includes games and franchises such as Call of D... -

Prey Twitter is Teasing Something
The Twitter account for Prey seems to be hinting at something. It's probably a bit too soon to suggest it's a full-blown Prey 2, but it's something. I am mostly expecting this to be something akin to the Death of an Outsider release that came out as a supplemental release for Dishonored.
At the very least, it looks like whatever it is will be taking us to the Moon.

Far Cry 5 Trailer Takes the Fight Against Cultists to the Mountains
A new Far Cry 5 trailer shows off some fresh gameplay. Specifically, it shows off some gameplay taking place in the mountains of Hope County. No, this isn't Far Cry 4, but I can see how you would be confused.
These are the Whitetail Mountains, an area full of trees, ziplines, and plenty of locations to snipe some evil, gun-loving cultists.
Montana's mountain country is a paradise for stealthy players, with plenty of forests to hide in and wingsuit-friendly cliffs for... -

How to Take Advantage of Value Betting
Most beginners avoid betting on teams with long odds in fear of losing their money. Putting your bucks on such teams is also known as value betting - a concept that many punters are oblivious to. In eSports betting, a successful gambler understands the difference between the team's chances of winning and compares them to other betting odds on offer. Profitable betting requires having the ability to find value bets, putting your money on these bets and making a staking plan that brings out the be...

Quantic Dream's Detroit: Become Human has been given a firm release date of May 25, 2018 for the PlayStation 4. It's a game by David Cage, so you're probably already destined to hate it or love it, so I'll just get right into the gameplay and story details.
In a dystopian vision of our near future, Detroit is the story of three androids, three machines designed to obey, who start to feel emotions. Confronted with persecution and the violence of society, they will all have to decide... -
