Vermintide II Is The Best Four-Player Co-op Since Left 4 Dead

Despite having played literally thousands of video games in my life, I had not played Warhammer: Vermintide, so I was unprepared for how sweet its sequel is.

The Horror Of Video Game Doors

Is there anything scarier than a door in a horror game? I submit that there is not. Most horror video games feature monsters or ghosts. Or aliens, or ghouls, or giant gore-drenched spiders.

Arkham Knight’s DLC Makes Me Want To Play A Full Game About Newlywed Superheroes

I recently began playing through the episodics extensions of 2015’s Batman Arkham Knight, with the lowest of expectations. I finished playing them excited about an unusual twist to superhero video games that shows up in the Robin episode. The episodes are all short.
