Ghost Recon was my go-to game back in the day. I’m talking about the first Ghost Recon on the original Xbox. Six guys, two teams and 49 bad guys. Yup, 49. You can count them (and their bodies). No spawning endlessly like Ghost Recon 2. That was the Ghost Recon that shouldn’t have changed. But… Read More »
Nintendo reminds me of childhood. Lazy but magical summer afternoons playing Gyromite, Duck Hunt, Kung Fu and of course, Super Mario. Many years since the first Nintendo Entertainment System and now we are on console #7, the Nintendo Switch. And one of its first exclusives is a game about…childhood. The official trailer for Seasons of… Read More »

I always preferred the lower-level hockey to the NHL. More brutal, more raw, more old-time hockey. I’ll take the IHL Ice Dogs to the Anaheim Mighty Ducks any day. Latter couldn’t risk even a scratch on their pretty-boy multi-millionaires like Selanne and Kariya. This was the 1990s and old time hockey had already gone a… Read More »
Teaser trailers usually don’t say much and the teaser for the Guardians of the Galaxy video game doesn’t tell us anything. But what’s there to tell? It’s Guardians of the Galaxy and it’s Telltale. We see a Rad Mix cassette tape drifting in space, as iconic as the Star Child from Kubrick’s 2001. Ah, the… Read More »
We don’t know much about the new Kojima game, Death Stranding, but speculation is good fun. And actually, the trailer, introduced at The Game Awards, tells us a lot. First of all, the game’s got cash. It’s got three heavy-weights in Mads Mikkelson, Guillermo del Toro, and Norman Redus. All great names, all great talent,… Read More »
Can’t survive in Manhattan. Not now, not in the world of Tom Clancy’s The Division. The city will eat you alive, and so it’s fitting that the game’s second expansion is titled, Survival. SHD agents have crashed in Manhattan in the middle of a harsh winter. Need to survive the elements but also the roaming… Read More »
The most anticipated game (in my household) finally has a release date. December 15. My kid has been screaming (literally!) for this mobile F2P. Now I can give him a date, though his response will be, “That’s tomorrow, right?” The new Super Mario Run Intro video shows us how to play this extremely complex game. … Read More »
Living in the cold is hard. Seriously, you can die. If the cold doesn’t get you, starvation will. So, stay warm and eat! Yes, it’s Captain Obvious, but that’s the objective of The Wild Eight, an upcoming survival game from HypeTrain Digital. Add it to your wishlist on Steam. There’s a plane crash and eight… Read More »
Some games are works of art. That is, imagination and creativity and execution elicits emotion. Case in point, look at The Last Guardian’s Action Gameplay Trailer. Yes, it’s just a trailer – the game’s not out until December 2016 – but it’s more than that. Watch it with sound, and then without. The emotion is…childhood.… Read More »
