Just on the heels of Rock Band, Activision launched their own music game. Unlike the Harmonix giant, Activision completely changed up the way we thought a Guitar Hero should play, making Guitar Hero Live a completely different experience, something you will have never played before. While this new design comes with its fair share of advantages, we cannot help but look to the age old saying: If it ain't broken, don't fix it. While Guitar Hero Live does things I like, I keep wanting to go back to the old school, five button system. Perhaps I'm stuck in the ...

Back in 2010, THQ released a sequel to the popular Darksiders game titled – not surprisingly – Darksiders 2. Now in 2015, the game has been enhanced and ported to the Xbox One and Playstation 4. While subtle changes have been made, there doesn’t seem to be any reason for previous Darksiders fans to come back and play the game again. For those that have never played, however, Darksiders 2 on Xbox One will make you feel like you are…

My expectations for Halo 5 Guardians were mixed. One one hand, it is Halo, and 343 Industries and Microsoft have rarely strayed from the core mechanics that make up a Halo game. On the other hand, 343 promised a much different Halo experience, which they demoed multiple times at many trade shows: squad combat. Although squad combat is not new to the franchise, it was the first time it was used exclusively in the a numbered Halo game. So how does Halo 5 Guardians hold up to other Halo games and this current generation? We think it did okay, if not better than okay.

While The Legend of Zelda: Tri Force Heroes is not the Zelda game we all really want, there is still lots to get excited about. If you had the chance to play the demo that was released last week, you probably already know whether or not you will be picking this up. Our experiences playing the (limited) demo were incredibly positive, although we have a few reservations. Regardless, Tri Force Heroes will be available tomorrow, October 23rd at retail and online in the Nintendo eShop.

Assassins Creed Syndicate launches tomorrow, October 23rd, in North America. Review scores are slowly coming in and the game seems to be hovering around the 8-8.5 mark out of 10. Good for Ubisoft. Many wondered what kind of game we would be getting this time around. Assassins Creed Black Flag was one of the best in the series, but it followed up the poorly performing Assassins Creed III. Subsequently, the game that came after Black Flag, Assassins Creed Unity, was also in many ways a complete and utter disaster. While the game was improved with updates, few ...

Want to trade your P.K. Subban for my Jonathan Toews? Want to buy my Sidney Crosby card? No, these are not the interactions of kids on the playground, but the online interaction in EA Sports popular game mode. EA Sports introduce the Ultimate Team mode to their line-up of sports titles a number of years ago already, and have been improving the formula with each subsequent release. FIFA Ultimate Team (FUT), Hockey Ultimate Team (FUT) and Madden Ultimate Team (MUT) have scratched the nostalgic itch of those who fondly remember swapping sports cards on the ...

We've been playing Halo 5: Guardians for a few days now and cannot wait to share our impressions with you. So far, it has been as good as we expected, and even better in many instances. The future looks bright for the Halo franchise and 343 Industries. It was announced this week that Halo 5: Guardians would launch with a 9 GB update. Here is what to expect.

343 Industries has opened up on the list of achievements for Halo 5: Guardians, showing us 65 achievements to unlock. Completing the campaign on Legendary by yourself makes its achievement return as well in Halo 5. It could be a grind to unlock all of the initial achievements but as always Halo will be a fun time.

Every year Electronic Arts and EA Sports delivers the best Football and Hockey games with the Madden NFL and the NHL series’ respectfully. When NBA Live is released, it isn’t always the gamers first choice in basketball games but every year EA Sports does better and better on the hoops franchise and this year is no different as NBA Live 16 is much better than NBA Live 15, but there is still much more room for improvement moving forward.
