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...

Internet Overreaction Forces Ubisoft to Remove Weird Assassin's Creed NPC
Thanks to a recent, poorly researched video by Polygon concerning the Assassin's Creed Ezio Collection, Ubisoft was forced to remove a weird looking NPC from appearing in a cutscene.
The NPC in question has the potential to show up in a cutscene in Sequence 1, Memory 1 of the remastered Assassin's Creed II from the collection. The problem here is that the NPCs are randomized, just as they were in the game's original release. This means that any number of NPCs can show up in... -

Desperation Thy Name is a Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare Free Trial
If you haven't yet been bitten by the annual Call of Duty bug, perhaps a free trial of Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare will sway you. Or not. Actually, it probably won't but I'm still going to let you know about it. Right now until December 20 at 10AM (PT), you can play a free trial of the massively disappointing Infinite Warfare multiplayer (level cap of 15), Zombies, and somewhat decent Campaign (just two levels). If that doesn't sell you, maybe hearing that it's a 55+GB download wi... -

Microtransactions and Women Filled Loot Boxes Added to Modern Warfare Remastered
Yesterday, an update was released for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered. It added in some returning multiplayer maps and new game modes like Gun Game and Hardpoint. That's great news!
The not so great news is that they added in microtransactions into the game, which had no microtransactions in the first place. Yes, they are cosmetic but the fact remains that they were added in after the game launched without any. Secondly, they also added in female character models that... -
