After Us Review (PS5)

After Us offers a glimpse of our future and a warning of things to come.

A gaming experience where you engage in thoughtful introspection, wordless encounters, and some platforming across Earth's many diverse locations to undo the devastation caused by global warming sounds like an intriguing idea on paper. Its execution in After Us, however, leaves quite a bit to be desired. Some awkward platforming, poor combat, and performance woes will ultimately leave you feeling a little less...
 

Redfall is Arkane's Worst Game Ever

It's also the worst "AAA" developed title in recent memory.

It was a struggle to finish Redfall. It was an absolute struggle thanks to performance issues, technical deficiencies, crashes, broken A.I., and uninspired quest design. It was the antithesis of fun and I pushed myself to complete the game out of pure spite.

Prior to playing Redfall, I saw Arkane as a studio that could do no wrong when it comes to their output. Dark Messiah of Might and Magic in 2006...

UK Blocks Microsoft Activision Merger

The CMA claims the deal would harm cloud gaming.

Cloud gaming. Cloud gaming is the reason why the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) in the UK voted to block the $69 billion deal that would see Microsoft taking over Activision Blizzard.

The decision didn't come down to concerns over Call of Duty exclusivity or anything that would make some measure of sense. No, it came down to the CMA being concerned that the deal would "undermine new and innovative" competition...

    Xbox Backtracks on Sharing Media to Twitter Removal

    The complaints have been heard.

    Some weeks back, newer Insider builds for the Xbox consoles removed the ability to share screenshots and clips directly to Twitter. The only way you would be able to post to Twitter, would have been to first upload the screenshots to the Xbox app on your phone and then send out the Tweets from that.

    Why was this feature removed in the first place? It's not really clear. All that was clear was that users were not happy about this change....

    Once again, Epic Games is being sued over a dance emote used in their popular battle royale game, Fortnite. YouTuber and choreographer Kyle Hanagami filed a lawsuit against Epic Games that says they copied one of his dance moves without authorization.

    Hanagami says that the "It's Complicated" dance emote in Fortnite copied one of his own choreographed moves. A move, he says, that he owns the copyright...

    Virtual Gaming Economy: Trends 2022

    The nature of the virtual economy in a fantasy game world often resembles the real world, but there are some differences. Some variables, such as the need to buy food or pay utility bills, of course, may not be present in the virtual economy. Even the most fantasy worlds have a few things in common with the real world: people can own things and can usually sell them as well.

    In more popular games, some people begin to crave virtual items as much as real ones. This very real demand is...

    Breath of the Wild 2 Delayed Until Spring 2023

    Nintendo apologized to fans for the delay.

    Earlier today, Nintendo announced that The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild 2 was delayed until Spring 2023. A very vague release window of "2022" was provided last year by Nintendo, but we really haven't seen nor heard much about this sequel for quite some time.

    The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild 2 may not even be the game's final name. The decision to just make a full-fledged sequel to 2017's original The Legend...

    Call of Duty Player Caught Cheating... By Himself

    Hoisted by his own petard.

    A Call of Duty: Vanguard player was recently accused of cheating while competing in a recent unofficial paid tournament. The player and streamer, known as Kenji, tried to clear his name by pointing a webcam at his screen while streaming in order to try to prove he wasn't cheating.

    It backfired in the most spectacular fashion.

    This all went down in a 2v2 Search and Destroy match. Though Kenji and his teammate won the match, the results...
