Back on June 14th 2013, The original The Last of Us game came out and changed what video games could be forever. With groundbreaking graphics, writing better than many blockbuster movies released today, outstanding acting, outstanding sound design...it goes on and on. From my very first time playing it I was hooked, and it quickly landed in my top 3 games of all time despite it's gut wrenching opening that literally made me shed tears. It was the last hoorah ...

It’s the bottom of the 9th inning. The Sirloins trail by 2. Men (well, 1 man and 1 woman) on 1st and 3rd. 2 outs. Hammer Longballo steps up to the plate.   Yes, you read that right: Hammer. Longballo.   The slugger is well known in the minds of Super Mega Baseball fans. A hitter of epic proportions, both in his head size and on the stat sheet.   He’s older now. Has been in the Super Mega Baseball…

Good news! We (thanks to the awesome folks at Sony Interactive Entertainment Canada) have the pleasure of being able to play, experience and review The Last of Us II. This is truly one of the most anticipated titles to come across our gaming consoles this generation, despite the leaks and negative press from some!

The moment I was hoping for, has in fact come true…when I first reviewed Predator Hunting Grounds (which you can find here), I felt something was missing. What that was, mainly, was memorable characters, well they remedied that now with the return of DUTCH! Official developer announcement below: “We are bringing Dutch to Predator: Hunting Grounds. Yes, Arnold Schwarzenegger has reprised one of my favorite roles from childhood for this game. The ...

While we all could use a good news story, I think Sony is doing the right thing. Playstation tweeted that it would be delaying its Playstation 5 event originally scheduled for June 4. “While we understand gamers worldwide are excited to see PS5 games, we do not feel that right now is a time for celebration and for now, we want to stand back and allow more important voices to be heard,” the tweet said. The announcement comes after a…

MotoGP 20 might just provide the Nintendo Switch’s best sim racing experience. But on a system best suited for kart racers, is that a notable achievement? I’m lucky in this modern gaming landscape to own each current major home console. Each system has its strengths and weaknesses — whether you’re talking game library, raw power, extra services or online infrastructure. Whatever console you have, you have access to great games in every genre and ...

As we continue to count down the days until June 19th, I’ve mainly stayed away from all information on this game since E3 two years ago. Not for lack of caring, but because TLOU was one of my favorite games of all time, so the bar is set VERY high for me. I’ve not watched any trailers or read any leaks either. But all that changed today when I decided to jump in on the newest State of Play from…

While we are all anxiously awaiting until TLOU2 is in our sweaty little hands, Sony continues to drop more merchandise including a PS4 Pro bundle. See below for official announcement: “We’re all counting down the days till we rejoin Ellie in her journey next month, and today, we are thrilled to announce the Limited Edition The Last of Us Part II PlayStation 4 Pro bundle, which will launch alongside the game on June 19, 2020. This special bundle features ...

So we all remember the great days of Tony Hawk Pro Skater right? The awesome tricks, the great courses, all the hours spend with our friends playing along. But lets be honest some of the biggest highlights was the soundtrack! If you miss it, we got some news for you! The faithful remaster of Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 and 2 will include blockbuster songs from the original franchise. We wanted to share a look at the track list. The…

Just when you thought you’ve seen everything in Quarantine…well now there’s Smurfs! Publisher Microids and developer OSome Studio, in partnership with IMPS, have announced the signing of a publishing deal for a 3D action adventure game based on The Smurfs. The game will feature a new story and remain “as faithful as possible to the original material,” with “tons” of humor, thrills, friendship, suspense, and action. “We are delighted for ...
