    Final Review: Agents of Mayhem (PC)

    Final thoughts and final score
    It has been a few days now since I put up the initial "review in progress" for Agents of Mayhem. Chances are, you can just read that below these words as I do not plan to edit or alter that content in any way. Has my opinion on the game changed in that time? Slightly. Did the full public release of the game do anything to change some of the egregious shortcomings I encountered? This question is the one that I'm not sure I have a definitive answer to. M...

    Crackdown 3 Delayed... Again... This Time Until 2018

    Announced back at E3 in 2014, Crackdown 3 is once again hit with a delay. The game initially targeted a release in late 2016. I suppose technically, this is its first "official" delay since it was never given a "firm" release date until earlier this year but still, three years. That's over three years across three different developers no less. Anyway, this latest delay pushes the game to a "Spring 2018" release. This update comes from Microsoft Studios Publishing General Manager, Shannon Lof...
