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...

They are calling it The Avengers Project and it could prove to be one of the best movie based superhero games ever created.

ECHO Brings Sci-Fi Adventure to PS4 and PC on September 19
While the headline is vaguely familiar, the content should be drastically different here. ECHO is an upcoming sci-fi adventure that has been given a September 19 release date on the PC and PlayStation 4. It's being developed by Ultra Ultra, a studio that is made up almost entirely of former Hitman developers from IO Interactive. Color me intrigued.

Destiny 2 PC Beta Begins August 28; Minimum Requirements Announced
The dates have been finalized for the Destiny 2 beta on the PC. Those who pre-ordered the game will get to play it starting on August 28. It then turns into an open beta on August 29. The beta is slated to end for everyone on August 31. Will they extend the beta to last roughly a week as they did for console players? Maybe. Given how the PC release is already dreadfully behind the console release, I wouldn't get my hopes up too high for much of anything.
