Death Road To Canada Postponed in Light of Toronto Attack
Yesterday was a heartbreaking day for the people of Toronto, and across the entire country, as a man used a rented van to drive down a sidewalk, killing 10 people and injuring 15 others. It's hard to talk about video games, or even get excited about video games when stuff like this happens, and one company agrees.

Titan Quest – Xbox One
Titan Quest originally release many years ago in 2006 by THQ, but didn’t see a console release until 2018. While the original title was liked by most reviewers - earning a metacritic score of 77 - it wasn’t known coming into launch how it would fair on the Xbox One and PS4.
