We’ve seen 4k/60fps, we’ve seen raytraced lighting and ridiculously pretty textures – but if you believe the chatter on forums, we still haven’t seen next-gen. Why? Because armchair experts and fanboys would rather water down the medium with bitching than spend even a second getting excited. It’s happened all over again with the Xbox conference this week. The most rabid in our community have declared it ‘Not Next-Gen’ and so the question is: what even is next-gen? The answer will…

It's been a while since we got to jump into a brand new Halo experience, but we will be getting that opportunity soon when Halo Infinite launches. Two things struck me when watching the gameplay trailer. 1) This looks like more Halo; and 2) holy crap this looks fantastic.

Obsidian's next big gaming experience is hitting Xbox One on July 28th, and I personally cannot be more excited. With hundreds of hours played in similar games - Hello ARK Survival Evolved! - I cannot wait to dive into Grounded with friends.

Thanks to our friends at Skybound and Sideshow Collectibles, I had the early opportunity to play Dark Harvest, a game about harvesting and spending souls, as well as influence tokens, to...well...get more souls. Because to win at Dark Harvest, you need to have the most souls in your possession, and how better to get souls than to get some great reapers on your side. But does Dark Harvest deliver enough fun to warrant the $25 price tag? Let's take a look!

Xbox Canada was at it again this week, sending us over a pair of custom Adidas shoes, in glorious green and branded with the Xbox logo, in celebration of this weeks Xbox Games Showcase. These shoes were sent to media around Canada, with the following card info included:

Cris Tales, an indie rpg, received an unexpected demo today on the Nintendo Switch eshop. I checked out and have some impressions below! Cris Tales is an indie rpg that borrows from the jrpg genre while also creating its own unique look and feel. The graphics in the Cris Tales demo are amazing. This game is beautiful! Everything has so much detail to it. The characters and environments are really great. Here’s hoping the full game continues to look this…

Tuesday, July 14, 2020: One of the most popular ways people use Nest Hub Max is for video calling. Up until now, that meant one-on-one sessions with friends and family. Rolling out today in Canada (English only), you can make group video calls with Duo and Google Meet on your Hub Max. With just a simple voice command, Google Assistant can now help connect you with multiple people at once.

I’m a huge fan of Animal Crossing: New Horizons. You all know that. I gave the game a 10 out of 10 in my review. I keep writing articles about it with lots of praise. I’m a huge fan. So yeah, its tough for me to say anything negative about the game or the series (though I have. The eggs! THE EGGS). But today, I do have at least one negative thing to say. And some positive stuff too! Let’s…

With the last two installments of the Assassin's Creed franchise, Ubisoft has reworked the games entire formula while trying to stay true to what made the original so fantastic - stealthy mechanics, outstanding kills, and more. While Origins and Odyssey were surprisingly similar - small welcome changes did come when we headed to ancient Greece - it appears as if Ubisoft is taking a big leap forward with Valhalla, and I couldn't be more excited.

CrossCode is an action adventure game coming to the Nintendo Switch this week! I’ve been playing it a bunch and now I’m ready to share my opinion of this game. Is CrossCode worth checking out? Here is my review! CrossCode is set in a fictional MMO (Massive Multiplayer Online) world. Note: this game is not a real MMO but at times, you can be fooled. The main characters and the NPCs all make the world of CrossCode seem like a…
