You Wanna Remaster Games? Remaster These!
The eighth generation of video game consoles seems to me like the remaster generation. For all the great original IPs and sequels that we’ve received this generation, we’ve had more than a fair share of remasters on the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. While some remasters make sense, like Resident Evil 4 and Grim Fandango, some are lazy to the point of ridiculousness. Seriously, did we really need a T...[Read More]

He didn’t specify if the plan was for the original Xbox One only or if it included update like the Scorpio. Either way, 200 million units is a huge numbe...[Read More]

Ubisoft swore off releasing a new Assassin’s Creed game for 2016, the first time the series has been on hiatus since its debut in 2009.

Treyarch Releases Mod Tools for Call of Duty: Black Ops III on PC
The Call of Duty series started out on PC. You wouldn’t think that, though, with the way the series has been treated on the platform. The Call of Duty: Black Ops III PC port was mangled by Activision, just like the last couple of CoD games before it. The series now shines on consoles. Activision looks to be changing that perception – slightly – with the latest update, 15.1. The new update adds mod...[Read More]
