Hands-On with Ghostrunner from PAX South
Take one part Mirror’s Edge-style seamless first-person view parkour running. Add a dash of cyberpunk design – because it’s 2020, after all! Mix in some one-hit-kill sword-swinging action, and blend it all up with a bullet-time slow-mo sauce. What comes out is Ghostrunner, an absolutely fascinating experience that this writer was able to go hands-on with during PAX South this year.

Call of Duty Modern Warfare (Xbox One) Review
When I first heard that a new Call of Duty: Modern Warfare was going to be released in 2019 I was skeptical. For the last eight years, Call of Duty has seemed like a ghost compared to its glory days. If we were to pinpoint the era where the franchise started to go downhill, some would say around the time of Modern Warfare 3, Black Ops 2, or Ghosts. It has been eight years since the release of Mode...[Read More]
The Sojourn Finds Its Release Date and Platforms
Normally, a sojourn means a temporary stay, maybe a part of a pilgrimage. Not so in the case of The Sojourn which is officially announcing its incoming arrival. The atmospheric, philosophical first-person puzzle game from Shifting Tides and Iceberg Interactive will be showing up right at the start of fall this year. A new release date trailer shows off the game to great effect.

Dying Light 2 E3 2019 Preview
Last year, Dying Light 2 debuted during Microsoft’s E3 2018 Xbox press conference.

Turok Dinosaur Hunter (Switch) Review
Long before Goldeneye dominated our lives on the Nintendo 64, we had Turok: Dinosaur Hunter, Acclaim and Iguana Entertainment’s surprisingly stacked first-person shooter. Featuring a massive open-world environment and lots of action to partake in, Turok was a game changer at the time. This excitement led into the following sequel Turok 2: Seeds of Evil. Past that though, Turok began to wear out it...[Read More]
Void Bastards – Roguelike FPS – Announced By Humble Bundle
Is announcing a game on a weekend a sign of humility, or total confidence that your announcement isn’t going to be lost in the shuffle of weekend events when no one is paying attention to the news? I don’t know, but I’m betting that Humble Bundle was going with the latter option when they released the news of Void Bastards on a quiet Saturday afternoon.
