In Eastward, the two main characters must fight and solve puzzles in order to survive the game’s story. The new DLC is totally different though.

The Case for a God of War Remake
I recently finished God of War (2018) and very much enjoyed it. I know this isn’t going to be news to most people, but it’s really rather good. And while I could easily write a couple of thousand words on what worked (and a quite a bit less on what didn’t), there’s one thing that I felt stood out more than anything: the original God of War needs a Final Fantasy 7-style remake. Sony is in their “pointlessly releasing old…
The Spy Who Shot Me Impressions
“The Spy Who Shot Me” is a first-person shooter (FPS) game that combines classic spy action with a touch of humor. Developed by independent game developer and publisher Retro Army Limited, the game pays homage to the spy genre while adding its unique flair. In this game, I had to step into the shoes of a suave secret agent tasked with thwarting a global villain’s nefarious plans. The gameplay features a mix of espionage, gunfights, and gadgetry, offering a nostalgic…

Sand Land is one of my most anticipated games of this year! And now we have a release date for it. Check out the trailer and my thoughts on it. Sand Land will be out on April 26, 2024. There will be a standard edition, a deluxe edition, and a collector’s edition available. The game is coming out on PS4, PS5, Xbox Series, and PC. I really love the game’s Dragon Quest like graphics. Its definitely an action game but…
Is It Worth Buying a PC In 2024?
With 2024 rapidly approaching, we ask what seems like an easily answerable question. Is it worth getting a new PC in 2024? Well, yes, it is. Because that’s not the difficult part. The difficult part now is the choice of how you’re going to enter into the world of PC gaming. Will you go for a desktop or a laptop? Will you stream via GeForce Now? Hell, you could even buy any of a selection of handhelds that offer up…
2023: What a Year It’s Been
It’s that time of the year where I start thinking about Christmas guides. And man, 2023 has been something special. We look back at 1998 and 2004 and we remember them as years where gaming evolved. Title after title that defined a generation – and an entire industry. And, you know, I think 2023 may just end up being one of them. Granted, it’s hard to tell. One of the important things about those two years is longevity. Metal Gear…
Arcadian Atlas Is Coming to Consoles Next Week
Arcadian Atlas, a strategy rpg, is coming to consoles next week! Check out the launch trailer below. Acadian Atlas is coming to Nintendo Switch, Playstation, Xbox, and STEAM on November 30th. Thats next week. This game looks really cool. Its a strategy rpg that reminds me a lot of Final Fantasy Tactics and Tactics Orge. I love the art style and just everything I see about the game so far. It’ll make a great addiction to all the systems, though…
PlayStation Remasters We Really Need
The Last of Us Part II is getting a ‘remaster’ for PlayStation 5. At the ridiculously old age of three, it really is overdue. I mean, it’s basically unplayable at this point. Nobody is surprised that this is something Sony is putting out with a straight face, nor that there are a sizeable amount of people who are really into it. And all the more power to everybody involved. You don’t have to be mad to be a gamer, but…
What the Activision Purchase Means for eSports
There are a number of big reasons why Microsoft’s purchase of Activision made sense. But the eSports angle rarely got explored. For the vast majority, the Call of Duty of it all was just more important. And that’s without mentioning the huge boon the purchase gave Xbox in the mobile space. In fact, there’s a lot of reasons this deal was made, and eSports is probably the least of it. At least, it might seem that way on the surface.…
Can We Stop With the Live Service Trend?
I can’t be the only person getting tired of hearing about all these live service games. Call me selfish, but I really wish it’d just stop. Trends come and go. In the past every game seemed to have a stealth section. Or a tower defence mini-game. These were annoying, but had very little impact on the industry itself. Nobody was imploding because their content pipeline wasn’t filled to the rafters. And yet live service has fundamentally changed the way many…
