Few years back, I posted a tongue-in-cheek post about why Koreans are so damn good in eSports. Maybe it was a language or cultural thing but that got some mixed responses, especially from our friends overseas. I wasn’t being serious then, but I am being serious now. Koreans are really really good at eSports! And… Read More »
The backlash over Battlefield V’s inclusion of women and non-white dudes is ridiculous. The gripe is that British women did not fight in the front lines. There are also other nit-picky couch-historian arguments about the inaccuracies of body art, weapons and prosthetics. For a quick preview of our new characters, here’s the single player trailer:… Read More »
Red Dead Redemption 2, or as I like to call it, Grand Theft Stagecoach, has another gameplay video to remind us, once again, just how closely it resembles GTA. Who came blame Rockstar Games for repeating a successful formula? The game is beautiful (what isn’t these days?) It’s also vast and there are a lot… Read More »
We finally have a game about Ancient Greece where the Greeks don’t have English accents. They’re still speaking English but a Greek accent means they’re more Greek than the English-accented English-speaking Greeks. That’s a win. Actually, the best part about Assassin’s Creed Odyssey’s Launch Trailer is that it doesn’t look like just another AC game.… Read More »
What is it like being blind? I’ve always wondered what it would be like to be blind, and wanted to try a VR experience, although it could never truly replicate it. My guess is a VR simulation would be similar to closing your eyes. You can never know what it would be like to be… Read More »
It’s hard to be wowed by cinematic teaser trailers anymore. To grab gamers’ attention, the trailer should show something new or have some real bite to it. I don’t know how good Cygames’s new RPG, Project Awakening, will be. The Japanese developer’s team is top notch, but we don’t know much about it yet. But… Read More »
People are asking, “Do video games cause violent behavior?” The shooting at the Madden 19 qualifiers in Jacksonville has brought the controversial topic to light again. I don’t have PHDs but I am certain there will never be a definitive answer. There are too many variables in a person’s life. There are of course triggers,… Read More »
Those delightful mercs are back, and it’s time to kick some ass! Jagged Alliance: Rage! is coming and I can’t be more excited. It’s 20 years after the first Jagged Alliance and our returning cast is older and seriously messed up. Alcoholics, cancer survivor, depression…. But they’re still professional killers ready to conquer another jungle… Read More »
Ever struggle with your inner demon? Have the forces of good and evil whispering in your ears, battling for your soul? Devil’s Hunt is like that. But with much more fire and fury. Based on Equilibrium, a Polish graphic novel, the game provides a Jekyll & Hyde experience where you’re both saint and savior. Here’s… Read More »
I’m very excited that Fallout 76 takes place in West Virginia. I’ve never been there. I don’t plan to. But it looks like a crazy, creepy place. Perfect for a new post-apocalyptic Fallout journey. I don’t know much about West Virginia. Actually, I know almost nothing other than that on the map, it’s like the… Read More »
