Read MorePsychonauts 2 Review
The wait has been enough to drive a person crazy, but Psychonauts 2 is finally available to play. The beloved indie darling has lost none of its charm being developed by a now fully-fledged Microsoft studio. Instead, it’s a must-play platformer that justifies itself over and over again. Because realistically, a sequel to Psychonauts could have been a disaster. Reviving any classic is tough, especially when there was only ever one entry. But Double Fine have succeeded, and we’re all…

Read MoreSony’s Horizon Delay Doesn’t Matter this Christmas
2021 isn’t going to be a good holiday season for Sony now that Horizon 2 has been delayed. With blockbusters looking few and far between, a lot of the talk about “the power of exclusives” has aged like milk. This year the viability of the PlayStation 5 will hinge on third-party exclusives and older games, such as Spider-Man: Miles Morales. If you want to play Battlefield or Call of Duty, you can do it here. Albeit, probably at a slightly…

Revealed during the Gamescom 2021 Opening Night Live stream, the trailer showcased antagonist Anton Castillo — played by actor Giancarlo Esposito (Breaking Bad, The Mandalorian)– who uses his immense resources as the dictator and ruler of the island of Yara to push back against growing rebel forces.

Read MoreSaints Row is getting a reboot, coming in Feb 2022
It’s been a while since we’ve seen a new Saints Row game. While Saints Row 4 and Gat out of Hell didn’t impress me much, Saints Row the Third is one of my favorite games of all time and I loved being able to go back to it with the recent remasters. They also did the spin-off Agents of Mayhem which was also a lot of fun but didn’t quite find its audience and the narrative was a little weak…
Read MoreMicrosoft Dropping Halo Hardware to Celebrate 20 Years
It wouldn't be a Halo launch without a crap ton of exclusive and special hardware, and the team over at Xbox is delivering a little bit of everything, from controllers and headsets, to specially branded consoles. Lets take a dive on what was shown off, thanks to information from the Xbox Wire!
Read MoreMarvel’s Avengers: War for Wakanda Review
In the latest DLC expansion for Marvel’s Avengers (after an insanely long marketing campaign advertising this), we finally get to visit Wakanda. I have been a fan of this game since it first came out for its SINGLE player campaign and story. I think it’s one of the better-written stories we have seen in a Marvel game ever, the main problem with the game is the shoe-horning of multiplayer which isn’t really needed at all. This latest installment has us…
Read MoreSiege of Paris DLC Review
While some folks became tired with the world and characters of Valhalla after a few dozen hours, I can't stop going back. It's been well over 75 hours for me in this Assassin's Creed World, and it's shaping up to be one of my favourite in the series. Thankfully, Ubisoft has done a fantastic job of supporting the game post launch with tons of DLC, the most recent being the Siege of Paris.
