It may have taken almost two years, but we are now starting to see some of the documents that...

  • Metal Gear Survive Apparently Has a Plot

    Metal Gear Survive Apparently Has a Plot

    Metal Gear Survive is the upcoming Metal Gear Solid V spin-off game that Konami is working on. Yeah, Konami still makes a game here or there, presumably when it's a slow season for pachislot. Metal Gear Survive finds you fighting for survival after Mother Base is nearly pulled into a wormhole following the events of Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes. This is already a really stupid plot, even by Metal Gear standards. I'm just going to let Konami's press release do the talking. ...

    Bungie Outlines Its Plans for Major Destiny 2 Improvements

    By the end of 2017, Destiny 2 found itself looking at a mixed bag of user reviews, despite the initial critical consensus being relatively strong. This gulf continues to grow between the critical response to Destiny 2 at launch and the current opinion of the fans.

    New Resident Evil Social Media Logo is Decidedly Old School

    Between the Rocksteady developed live-service Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League and the "AAAA" quality Ubisoft developed Skull and Bones: Which is the bigger disappointment for you?
