    Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 Looks Like Garbage on Xbox 360

    A comparison between the Xbox 360 and Xbox One versions of Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 went up today and man, the Xbox 360 version looks downright ugly at times. Look at this.

  • Hands-On: Black Desert Online - Gameplay Video from North American Alpha Test

    I was recently given the opportunity to try out the closed alpha test for Black Desert Online as it begins to make its way to Western markets.

I really wish I had more time to spend on the game than what I was able to. There seems to be a depth here that I only scratched the surface of. However, the below video should give the most ba...

    The 700 Club tackled a viewer question. A parent found "demonic images" on her daughter's phone and is concerned. She asks the 700 Club how they can help their daughter "not be attracted to such demonic things."
