Friends aren’t always on the same page, yet your differences make your friendship exciting. In that way, friendship is a lot like a double-sided sausage dog.

I loved Assassin’s Creed Odyssey. Well, for the first twenty hours. Then I realized that most of the locations, side quests, and rewards were practically all lazily copy-pasted with minimal effort. I eventually got so bored I had to quit. When it was revealed that Ubisoft Quebec was working on another open-world Greek-inspired game, this time […]

The tragic state of NBA 2K this year says it all, but some sports game developers do at least try their best to change things up. British studio Sports Interactive is […]

I’ve spent my last week or so playing through Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War in preparation for this review. It’s been a refreshing change of pace after what can only be described as a mixed year with Modern Warfare. I’ve finished the campaign and reached first prestige on multiplayer, so I’d say it’s about […]
