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.

Read MoreNASCAR Heat 5 Review
The same complaint that a lot of annual sports video game franchises receive is (mostly) true with NASCAR Heat 5. This year’s game feels basically like a roster and car paint update compared to previous versions. The driving model feels a lot better — my cars don’t just spin with the slightest contact, and I’m finding it easier to get involved in drafts and pushes. The game also just looks better, though that could be because I’m playing this year’s…
Read MoreMinecraft Dungeons’ Jungle Awakens DLC is a Welcome Addition
Mojang recently released their Jungle Awakens DLC pack for Minecraft Dungeons, the first of two planned packs offered as part of the $30 Hero Edition of the game (the packs can still be purchased individually). Even if you don’t buy the DLC, there’s a free level, Lower Temple, on the main map. That map has also been updated to show other hidden levels you may have missed along your playthrough.

Read MoreJuly 23rd is the Biggest Day in Xbox History
There really isn't a point to sugar coating it. Prior to the introduction of Xbox Game Pass - a brilliant business decision that puts fans first - Microsoft was floundering with the Xbox One family in the console space. Big franchises seemed to die on the platform, most notably Fable, and the console just never picked up steam to compete with the PlayStation 4. And all of these critiques comes from a guy who played the majority of games this generation on the Xbox One X.
Read MoreMore Thoughts From Me #228: RIP E3? Hello, Other (Digital) Events
E3 is dead, long live E3. Well, okay, E3 is dead this year. We don’t know if it’ll be back next year or not. What we do know is that some companies still want to show off their games. And so we got digital events this month. I want to talk about a couple of them! There was no E3 this year but we did get several digital only events like Summer Games Fest, whatever IGN was doing, and…
Read MoreThe Elder Scrolls Online: Greymoor Review
The Elder Scrolls Online isn't a game I play constantly, but it's one that draws me back in with each new DLC launch, and the latest expansion, Greymoor, is no different. I'm back in ESO full time for right now, checking out new locations, new quests, new mounts, and so much more. But is Greymoor worth your money, and worth another trip deep into the world of The Elder Scrolls? Let's find out!
Read MoreSpongeBob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom – Rehydrated Review
In this modern age of gaming where remakes and remasters are a standard, ONE SPONGE stands alone (not really Patrick and Sandy are there too) to try and breath life again into the platformers of yesteryear? But does this one get the job done or does SpongeBob just leave us all wet? The original game was developed for PS2, Xbox, and Nintendo GameCube back in 2003 believe it or not. While a major commercial success, overall reviews were middling at…
