MSI MAG X870 TOMAHAWK WIFI Review
Having a good motherboard is paramount to your experience as a gaming enthusiast; this is a universal truth. What you get is what you pay for is another. In the instance with the MSI MAG X870 TOMAHAWK WIFI motherboard, I not only find this to be an absolute joy of a motherboard, but worth its price tag. Designed for AMD’s Ryzen 9000 series processors, the TOMAHAWK laid the foundation for the rest ...[Read More]
Star Wars: Outlaws Review
Is it cheesy to start every Star Wars game review with the “A long time ago in a galaxy far far away…” bit? Either way, consider this self-aware snark that has the same spirit as Han Solo’s coy smirk; or shall I say, Kay Vess’ in this instance. Yes, it is about time that we get another Star Wars game but this time from the folks at Ubisoft’s Massive Entertainment, the folks behind The Division, an...[Read More]
Gunnar Glasses: Fallout Vault 33 Edition Review
I didn’t fully grasp the wide breadth of style and pure ambition from the folks over at GUNNAR who provided us with a pair of their Fallout Vault 33 glasses. Coinciding with the release of the Amazon Prime show, these Fallout-themed spectacles provided me with even more ease while also providing me with a sense of comfort. Similar to the Call of Duty glasses I reviewed before, GUNNAR embraces them...[Read More]
Skull and Bones Review
Everyone has been riding this pirate wave since about 2003 with the huge success of Pirates of the Caribbean, a movie that definitely inspired studios to recreate the aura and atmosphere of a scalawag’s life. Somehow, Skull and Bones brings me back to that one house party where a friend wouldn’t stop attempting to gain everyone’s attention by doing a poor Captain Jack Sparrow impression.
The COD Alpha and UAV Gunnar Optiks Review
Eyes, they are the windows of the soul as they say. And as it turns out, they are quite fragile. Everything from dirt and debris to The Mountain from Game of Thrones can cause massive and irreparable harm. Another threat to our eyes happens to be the glowing, almost indistinguishable blue light emitting from your screen. I can say that since my ears have become destroyed by years of heavy metal mu...[Read More]
El Paso, Elsewhere Review – Eternal Darkness of the Spotless Mind
Self reflection is a core element of understanding one’s self especially as we experience the ebb and flow of life. Through the natural highs and lows, games like El Paso, Elsewhere is a reminder that keeping your head just above the water is better than sinking into the depths of misanthropy, apathy, and general disassociation. A shooter that acts as a metaphor for closure and the elements that m...[Read More]
Remnant II Review
For years we have taken every game that is remotely difficult and compared it to the beloved FROMSOFTWARE title–Dark Souls. Of course, there is more to it than that but there are basic mechanics that are constantly shared across this punishing genre, leaving us to draw this incredibly lazy line of comparison. It always results in “It is Dark Souls with…” every chance we get. With Gunfire Games’ la...[Read More]
Final Fantasy XVI Review – Flames and Flickers
Typically reserved for major world-altering events, it’s rare for the world to take pause. Especially to the level where everyone celebrates when a long-awaited video game releases. In this case, we get to bear witness to Final Fantasy XVI, the latest entry in Square Enix’s long-running franchise. No other series has us write out lists of what our favorite entry is and debate the nuance of ...[Read More]
