Party Hard Review
This game eluded me when it first came out on PC; I didn’t first hear about it until two months after its August 2015 release on Steam. I snapped it up soon after, and snapped it up again as soon as it became available for the PS4. Now I’m wondering why more people I know haven’t. I admit that I don’t constantly check the Steam front page, so if this game hit it on release, I never saw it. I only ...[Read More]

Mirror’s Edge: Catalyst Beta Impressions
When I first played the original Mirror’s Edge on the Xbox 360 years ago, the game itself wasn’t too impressive. I remember the story being crap and the areas I traversed being overly linear, almost on rails. The hand-to-hand combat was engaging and allowed a bit of freedom in how to attack enemies, but most people in the game felt pretty lifeless. But the running was spectacular, and I thoroughly...[Read More]
When the Servers Go Dark: The Reality of Always-Online Gaming
The Reality of Always-Online Gaming I did it. I finally got myself an Xbox One. It was the only 8th Generation console I was missing. Now I feel complete. Now I can join my fellow Digital Crack colleagues on all multiplayer binges, regardless of platform. Life is good. My console space is limited, though. I currently own 22 consoles, including my Xbone, and things are tight on my stands. For the t...[Read More]
Betas Are the New Demos – Complete With Pandering
In trying to explain my feelings during the week of April 11, 2016 – Beta Week – when three betas became available for me to play, the term “like a kid in a candy store” inevitably comes up. I was given the chance to play three games, for a limited time, well before they were supposed to come out. My excitement was lessened by the fact that the three games were all first-person shooters, a g...[Read More]

Quantum Broken on PC: Microsoft’s Universal Windows Platform’s Mess
Don’t you hate it when you get proven wrong? Don’t you hate it when your plans blow up in your face? Don’t you REALLY hate it when you become the world’s worst joke? Again? I am, of course, asking Microsoft. They should be tired of this by now, but they love putting themselves in this position. I’m still asking because, seriously, they should know better by now.
