We Played Anthem, And It’s Pretty Fun

I sat down with Anthem, BioWare’s upcoming shared-world third-person shooter, for 30 minutes today. I came away surprised at just how good it feels to move around in the game’s fantasy sci-fi world.

Skull & Bones Is Way More Than Just A Black Flag Spinoff

Skull and Bones is still happening and has the makings of a damn good pirate game.
