When it comes to EA Sports titles you’d be forgiven if you thought they updated the rosters, added a new idea or two, and slapped a full price tag on the product and bled you for another year. There have been years like that, and as we always say in these reviews, it’s not always a bad idea to stagger your sports game purchases by a few years. That said, after playing a ton of NHL 26 over the past…

I’ve spent the last week living in the pocket with Madden NFL 26 on Xbox Series S, and for the first time in a long while, it feels like EA’s football sim is finally moving the chains instead of punting on third down. The on-field speed is snappier, animations finally sell contact without looking like a physics experiment gone wrong, and the broadcast package wraps the whole thing in a Sunday-afternoon vibe that makes even a midseason matchup feel like…

There was a brand new State of Play today and it featured 007 First Light. Take a look at the footage and then our thoughts on this new James Bond game. 007 First Light comes out March 27th, 2026. It features a young James Bond on very early missions. The gameplay feels like a bit o Hitman and games like Splinter Cell and Uncarted. There’s a lot of stealth but also you find yourself in massive gunfights too. Bond has…

To say I could review Sengoku Dynasty would be an error – this is a big game with a lot going on, and the few days I’ve invested into the game isn’t enough to fully understand all the moving pieces here. What I can say is that I haven’t been this invested in a survival game since ARK: Survival Evolved. Despite some minor technical issues and camera problems, I think Sengoku Dynasty is looking very promising, and the Japanese setting…

When Worms Armageddon first slithered onto the PC back in 1999, it turned the turn-based strategy genre on its head with its cartoonish charm and relentless chaos. This Xbox release brings that same explosive fun to console, marrying nostalgia with modern comforts. The essence of those frantic, physics-driven encounters remains perfectly intact, but now loads almost instantly, runs silky-smooth at 60 frames per second, and lets you customize every last detail of your wriggling squad. At its core, Worms Armageddon…

I never expected a game about parking lots to stir so many feelings. This indie walking simulator invited me into a dreamy, slightly eerie world where the mundane becomes surprisingly meaningful. In around 30–35 minutes, I found myself reflecting on memory, loss, and the strange beauty hiding in plain sight. You wake up in an empty parking structure, clutching a car key fob that’s your only guide. Each level feels familiar yet off-kilter—rows of cars under flickering lights, concrete pillars…

When QUByte Classics unveiled their Beat ’Em Up Collection, I was instantly curious. After diving in it’s clear this anthology delivers a satisfying blend of nostalgia and discovery. Rather than rehash the well-worn streets of Capcom or Sega, the package brings together seven lesser-known side-scrolling brawlers from the early ’90s, each one a snapshot of a moment when developers were still figuring out what made this genre tick. Available on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Switch, and PC,…

Let’s go to the Shire! I’ve been hearing a lot of bad things about Tales of the Shire. All the reviews came out and said it wasn’t a good game. I wasn’t sure if I would get to play…

Check out the release announcement trailer below along with our thoughts on the game. Morgan: Metal Detective will release on July 30th on PC, PS5, Xbox Series, and Nintendo Switch.
