Horizon: Zero Dawn Review – Guerilla Games Nails It On Their First Try
Back at E3 2015, Sony revealed a trailer that showed us a tough female warrior taking on robotic beasts with a bow and arrow. It was an original idea, and it was a pretty awesome gameplay trailer overall.

Middle Earth: Shadow of War Looks Epic and Ambitious
Back in 2014, Middle Earth: Shadow of Mordor was my favorite game of the year. While it is true that Shadow of Mordor borrowed heavily from other titles such as Assassin’s Creed and the Arkham series.

Monolith Productions knows how well this system worked, and is ...[Read More]
