Very few games now a days are really kid and adult friendly at the same time. What I mean by that is, the game is easy enough for kids to play alone, and entertaining enough for adults to participate - or play alone themselves! Peanuts: Snoopy's Grand Adventure is the PERFECT example of this. Before someone points out that Nintendo has many games that fit this build, I say yes...but no. My four year old nephew can EASILY play Snoopy's Grand Adventure, with a ...

Read MoreJust Cause 3 Review
We don't have enough mindlessly fun games on console anymore. It just doesn't exist. I'm going to get this out of the way early. The story in Just Cause 3 is not very good; it could have been way better! However, it is a catalyst for what the real joy is: mayhem and mass destruction. Most consumers will get more enjoyment out of liberation efforts than actually attempting to complete story missions. Between all the explosions and challenges, there is more than ...
Read MoreOpen World Games Need Dying Light Multiplayer Mechanics
Single player games are great, but often I find myself wishing I had a multiplayer or cooperative option when playing. Who wouldn't want to run across Velen with a friend in the Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, or cross Skyrim with an ally or two? When we began our review of Dying Light on Xbox One, I reached out to the PR company and inquired about a multiplayer or cooperative mechanic. Apparently, this feature is not to be missed in Dying Light, so we spent considerable ...
Read MoreHoliday Gift Guide: Shooters
Instead of doing a customary awards article on Games Reviews, we have opted to pinpoint a few things you might pick up for yourself or other gamers on your Christmas List.

For this article, we will examine the best Shooters that could find their way under your tree this ...
Read MoreKojima Had Options
I fee like the title of this is just stating the obvious. Of course Hideo Kojima had options. He is a developing mastermind who has created some incredible and iconic franchises. The fallout with Konami really is disappointing, but it will be really interesting to see what Kojima does next with Sony. Kojima went into depth with IGN on why he choose to do business with Sony over other companies. Exerts from that interview are below, but you can read the whole ...

Read MoreWitcher DLC Visually Impressive
New screenshots for the latest Witcher DLC hit this week, and they are impressive. Gone are the war torn country sides of Novigrad and Velen. This all new area of Toussaint is alive and well. People are happy, the economy is flowing, the countryside is fairly neat - outside of a few monsters of course - and everyone is living a generally happy life. This is odd, especially for those who spent so many hours truding through the muck and blood of the other ...
Read MoreDying Light’s First Hour
We recently received a review code for Dying Light. Yes, we understand the game came out almost a year ago, but we are attempting to get through the main story in order to review some upcoming DLC. Regardless, I played an hour last night and hates off to the developers: they created some suspenseful moments!
