Continuing in the fine recent tradition of games like Dusk and Ion Maiden, WRATH: Aeon of Ruin is an upcoming shooter that is being built using the original Quake engine.

The Occupation Is A Thrilling Investigative Game Where Every Second Counts 

I’ve got 10 minutes until my big interview with a member of a group that’s trying to demonize immigrants and radically alter government policy.

Apex Legends Balances The Game’s Most Powerful Gun

Yesterday, developer Respawn made a few balance changes to Apex Legends. One of the most noticeable is for the Wingman, a fan favorite weapon that’s been slightly nerfed.

My Favorite Thing About Far Cry New Dawn Is Seeing How Far Cry 5‘s Locations Changed

I’m a sucker for a game series that lets me revisit a place I’ve explored in an earlier game. I loved it when I played Super Metroid, and I’m having a great time with it now in the new Far Cry. I’m not talking about old levels being recreated in new games. I’m talking about…

Devil May Cry 5 Is The Holy Grail Of Trash

Devil May Cry 5 is the sort of video game where it’s impossible to think of a single moment my mom wouldn’t shake her head at as she folded laundry in the basement circa 1988. And that will never stop me from absolutely loving it. Inspired by the beautiful friction experience that is this game,…
