More Thoughts From Me #244: Online With Final Fantasy
I had never played a Final Fantasy online game before. I didn’t think they’d be for me nor do I want to pay a charge every month. However when I found out that there was a free trial for Final Fantasy 14 on the Playstation 4, I decided it was finally time to try an FF online game. So what do I think? Well… Over the weekend, I’ve been playing Final Fantasy 14’s free trial. And… Actually I like it.…

Ghost Recon: Breakpoint Closed Beta – Promising Signs
Hopping into the Ghost Recon: Breakpoint Closed Beta this weekend, I wasn’t quite sure what to expect. The E3 trailer toyed with the notion that this release would be drastically different from Wildlands, or any other Ghost Recon game that came before it for that matter. Contrary to that notion, the GRB Closed Beta plays very in a style very similar to Wildlands. The notorious ‘Wolves’ appear to only show up from time to time and do not seem to be your main enemies; this is another fact that contradicts the impressions left by earlier announcements of the ...

The Division 2 Review
In an age of early access games and update-driven releases, it is a rarity indeed to find a game that, upon release, truly feels like a finished product. Too often are developers pressured into pushing their games out too quickly, leading to outrage from the community and an overall poor experience. The lesson to be learned here is that quality cannot be rushed, and that developers need to remind gamers of this fact and not allow themselves to make compromises for an earlier release date. Ubisoft, for its part, has certainly known for its resistance to this ...

Want a Free Game? The Division 2 Pre-order Can Help!
As if there wasn't enough hype around the release of The Division 2 with its focus on replayability and endgame content and the Private Beta they offered for anyone who pre-ordered the game before Feb 7th, Ubisoft has now announced that anyone who puchases a standard edition of The Division 2 Pre-order digitally will receive another Ubisoft blockbuster, absolutely FREE.

Read MoreThe Division 2 Private Beta Leaves Us Wanting More
After a weekend of rushing through the ruins of Washington, DC between overturned cars and concrete barriers, I have officially rediscovered my love for this franchise. The Division 2 Private Beta offered a wonderful taste of what can be expected from the full release coming mid-March. I had such a wonderfully fluid and dynamic experience, I hardly know where to begin!
Read MoreThe Division 2 Looks to Build on Success
With the upcoming release of The Division 2, many people are looking back and trying to remember what happened to its predecessor. Don’t we all remember having a ton of fun running around an open-world console shooter, grabbing loot and taking down bad guys? The concept was neat, the graphics and animations were smooth and sufficient for its time, and the actual feel of the game was great. So, what happened? End game happened. While The Division was certainly one…

Elder Scrolls Online: Tamriel Edition Review
Launch week for the Elder Scrolls Online: Tamriel Edition on Xbox One was disastrous. Server issues trumped all the dialogue surrounding the game, including inability to load, waiting over an hour to get into a game, or having to log out to fix any number of in-game glitches. However, the benefit of holding off on a review until a week or two after launch is really understand what the game is all about.

Evolve Review
The terrain of the planet Shear is devastatingly dangerous and exceptionally beautiful. The planet was populated in an effort to establish colonies far in the distant future. However, when vicious and ruthless monsters began to destroy the civilization, the plant became a warzone. The graphics and story created for the new hit FPS MMO Evolve are unique and enchanting and tell the story of Shear’s birth, death, and rescue with beautiful style. The planet is equal parts treacherous and stunning and the hunters who sneak through its terrain to hunt down the ...
