Read MoreXbox One X Review
We all know about the power packed under the hood of the Xbox One X. Microsoft is boasting that their latest console has 40% more power than any other console on the market, with a 2.3 GHz clocked 8-core Custom AMD CPU, 12 GB of GDDR5 of graphics memory, and 6 Teraflop GPU enabled 4K for outstanding picture quality. For your hardcore, technological expert, all of this data means something; for the rest of us, it's a lot of numbers and acronyms that sound great, although we aren't entirely sure what they mean. But at the end of the day, what does the Xbox One ...
Read MoreXbox One X Coverage: Assassin’s Creed Origins
One of the more high profile titles we received with our review bundle was Assassin's Creed Origins, developed and produced right here in Canada at Ubisoft Montreal. From top to bottom, the reimagined Assassin's Creed title is phenomenal in more ways than one, and with only a few hiccups, it wasn't hard to slap an outstanding review score on this one. While our initial review as done on a console that did not support 4K, we knew we would have to give the title a spin a second time on the Xbox One X. Despite having over 50 hours in my original game, it didn't ...
Read MoreSuper Lucky’s Tale Review
The best part about reviewing a game later than other outlets is too see what the chatter is around a specific title, and being able to feed off of that. In general, the majority of outlets are on the same page when it comes to titles, the things they do well, and the things they do poorly. After spending a significant amount of time with the title on Xbox One X, I jumped online to see what the reaction was within the media circle. I was shocked. I was seeing scores of 5 and 6 out of 10, and was flabbergasted on how that was possible. So, I returned to Super ...

Thor: Ragnarok is coming to theaters this Friday. Also coming this month is Lego Marvel Super Heroes 2! So, of course, the Lego people would want to have some kind of Thor crossover in their game right? RIGHT! Check out the new Lego Marvel 2 trailer below and then please come back for my impressions of it.

Read MoreAssassin’s Creed Origins: Predator Bows Key to Infiltration of Enemy Areas
Although your original starting point of Siwa will be light on the restricted areas you can enter, when the large world of Assassin's Creed Origins finally does open up to you - especially in your first major city, Alexandria - you will realize that restricted zones are a dime a dozen. Enter them, and be prepared for a fight. Get spotted, and in certain situations, it is as good as a game over. There are ways to successfully enter, kill, and loot an entire location, but careful skill is needed to do this. Your weapon of choice in these situations? The Predator Bow.
Read MoreLego Dimensions Ending
There has been rumors of Lego Dimensions being canceled for awhile. It turns out those rumors are true. Lego Dimensions is ending and there will be no new figures made from here on out. We have WB/TT’s official statement below and my thoughts on the announcement. I was hoping that the rumors of Lego Dimensions ending/cancelation were not true. I haven’t been able to collect a lot of the figures for this game, but I was hoping that there was…
Read MoreEvil Within 2 Review
I've never been one to excitedly wait for a horror/thriller title on console, but Evil Within 2 might make me rethink that position. Despite my reservations about horror games in general - very predictable, and often doesn't have the same shock value as a movies - Evil Within 2 gave me enough spine crawling, freight endusing moments, mixed in with some great open world mechanics, to deliver on what is one of the better horror/thriller titles to date on console. Despite my distaste for the genre, I simply couldn't put Evil Within 2 down until I had beaten it!
