Horizon appeared. It reviewed very well. It sold pretty well. And it disappeared into the shadow of Elden Ring. Forums throughout the interest are dissecting the new king of the open world to the point of complete joylessness, for better or for worse. And Horizon Forbidden West has had to take a quiet second place. It’s important here to say this isn’t an article about Horizon’s quality, or even about its quality next to Elden Ring. This is an article…

Influencers are great - in fact, I've worked to build a brand outside of GamesReviews.com to attempt and achieve that to some extent. But I'm finding more and more that one single person isn't generally convincing me of making a purchase. Instead, I'm finding the growing communities on Twitter - as toxic as it can be - as a driving force behind whether or not I play games. And Elden Ring is a great example of this.

Occasionally a game will come out that helps define a generation. Ocarina of Time. Metal Gear Solid 2. The Last of Us. Red Dead Redemption 2. And now, perhaps, we can add Elden Ring to that list. I say perhaps because I haven’t played it yet. I wasn’t planning to play it for some time. Trailers and discussions have been ignored… But today the Metacritic score got to me and I loaded up my Amazon account and purchased the launch…

The March PlayStation Plus lineup will test your survival, racing and combat skills in equal measure. Prove you’ve got what it takes to survive a deadly island wilderness in Ark: Survival Evolved, outpace the competition in Team Sonic Racing and sharpen your reflexes in cyberpunk first-person adventure Ghostrunner. And in addition to those titles, team up and take on fearsome, supernatural foes in bonus game Ghost of Tsushima: Legends, which joins the lineup this month. All games will be available…

A few years ago, when EA Sports added the women's national teams to FIFA, I often enjoyed trotting out Team Canada and going to work. As one of the better clubs in the world, it was fun to not only cheer for them in real life, but to play with them as well in FIFA. On the men's side...it's never been that way. I've always cheered for the Netherlands when the EURO Cup or World Cup come around, and always played as the Netherlands in FIFA. When FIFA 23 launches this fall with a FIFA World Cup mode, I can finally play as....Canada?

Horizon Forbidden West has come and gone, and it’s apparently unplayable. It has only an 88 on Metacritic. Call Sony, tell them to shut it all down. Nope, not just PlayStation. Shut it ALL down. Don’t take my word for it either. Go take a look on Twitter, or on the regular gaming forums. People are up in arms because – horrors of horrors – Forbidden West didn’t score above a 90. It didn’t score above Forza Horizon. It BARELY…

Video game website IGN had what they call IGN Fest today. During IGN Fest, they showed off footage of Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga and had the developers talk about the game. You can check that video out below, along with my thoughts on the game! Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga is coming out on April 5th, 2022. IGN Fest showed off footage and had the developer’s talk about the game. And…WOW! The Skywalker Saga looks fantastic! This…

The unexpected consequences of Microsoft’s near-$70b purchase of Activision is suddenly every developer wants to be bought. Nearly every studio and publisher, when asked, have answered positively about the possibility. So Ubisoft, for instance, today said they would consider offers. Which is a great answer, by the way. Makes it sound like the second the bidder walks out the room the party poppers will come out. Look, video games are hard. They’re expensive and developers don’t make much money on…

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (TMNT) Shredder’s Revenge is coming to the Nintendo Switch and other places this year. There is no solid release date for it but we keep getting teased. Here’s the newest trailer which shows off…Master Splinter! Yes he’s a playable character! TMNT Shredder’s Revenge looks amazing. I am so very hyped for this game. So far: you can play as all of the Turtles, April O’Neil, and Master Splinter. Its very likely that other characters will be…

The GTA Trilogy has sold about 10m copies. That’s about 10m more than you might have expected if you visited the internet around launch time. Rockstar announced the total alongside some other eye-watering statistics. Grant Theft Auto V has sold 160m copies. Red Dead Redemption 2 disappoints at only 43m. I’m kidding, the fact it sold so well is one of the happier stories of the last few days. Here’s a less happy one. The Resident Evil 3 remake shipped…
