When diving into the world of Wolfenstein there are plenty of expectations. The alternative-history franchise has a large following of players that judge every new game based on the ones that came before it. This may be an inevitable human trait, but it often does not to justice to the raw quality of the newer title. This pitfall may be one of the biggest reasons some people will shy away from Wolfenstein: Youngblood as it plays drastically differently from its predecessors.

Read MoreMonster Jam Steel Titans Review
Monster Jam Steel Titans is one of the better Monster Truck games to ever land on consoles – the fantastic handling is the primary reason it stands so high above everyone else. While I had a lot of fun with the game, I let friends and family take their hand at the game, and it wasn’t as pretty. I came to a very real and quick observation: this game is too damn hard.

Read MoreHow CTR Nitro-Fueled Perfectly Executed A Remaster
It is very common these days for game developers to release remastered versions of their older games. Typically, the games selected for remaster were revolutionary and wildly successful. In turn, the franchises selected are typically (but not always) those that have not received as much success since this breakout title. While Crash Bandicoot remains an iconic character, there really has not been a game as appealing as the original Crash Team Racing within the franchise. Considering that release was almost exactly 20 years ago, it seems the ideal candidate ...
Read More‘Would you kindly?’: The illusion of choice in gaming
Making choices in video games is a bit like a cool morris dancer or an ideal candidate for dealing with Brexit – they don’t exist. Even in games that pretend to offer decision after decision to affect your play, the reality is that you have only two choices. You can keep playing or you can turn it off. That’s it.

Read MoreTop 5 Hitman Games of All Time
Since its launch in 2000, the Hitman franchise has experienced one reboot after another. It also inspired two films, one graphic novel, and an online slot. Gamers always differ on which Hitman game is the best but one thing is clear: it’s not the original. It’s an unfortunate occurrence. Hitman: Codename 47 introduced the incredible game to the world.
