The Division Preview
Across several different events Digital Crack Network has tried The Division, but now, for the first time, we were afforded the opportunity to sit down with the game and explore Manhattan for four uninterrupted hours. We completed the first few missions, participated in several random encounters, and killed way too many friendly Agents in the PvP Dark Zones. In summary; we had a great time. The Di...[Read More]

Amplitude Review
Rhythm action games were once big business, with every man and his dog owning a copy of Guitar Hero in the mid-noughties. There was scarcely a party that didn’t involve epic battles fought using plastic peripherals and well-timed button presses. Guitar Hero won over critics and players alike and at one time it was more than just a game, it was a cultural institution seeing enough success to ...[Read More]
Gaming..A life time of experience.
I realize that as the “old school gaming specialist” of Digital Crack, I am dating myself. To many, “old school” probably means the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES). Actually, I go beyond that. For those that want to know, let me tell you how old I really am. This is a history lesson, and there may be a quiz at the end of this, so pay attention! My first game console was the Telstar Ranger, a d...[Read More]
Fallout 4 Review
The Fallout series is immensely popular and for the most part the games have been impeccable. But as Fallout 4 was presented at E3 the thing that probably got people just as excited as the prospect of the game itself was the fact that it was coming out this year. Just five months after its announcement we’re ready to hand out our verdict on the game. Having spent a majority of our waking hou...[Read More]

An immortal with a heart of stone, a mysterious demi-god, a cursed prince, and a grumpy Witcher. CD Projekt Red pulls out all the stops in the first expansion for The Witcher 3, Hearts of Stone. The Witcher 3: Hearts of Stone takes us back to when we were younger. Buying an expansion for a much-loved game was almost as exciting as getting a brand new one. We were always eager for more of the same,...[Read More]
Batman Arkham Knight Review
Is Batman Arkham Knight the best super hero game ever created ? Back in 2009 Rocksteady Studios released Batman Arkham Asylum and like many I thought it was another bad licensed super hero game. That was until i played it and thought finally someone created a good Batman game that made you feel like Batman. So when Batman Arkham City came out in 2011 it was a day 1 purchase for me. It was an amazi...[Read More]
Rainbow Six Siege Review
First person shooters have this reputation of being nothing but frenetic respawn fests, filled with young abusive kids who don’t have the attention span for anything at a slower pace. Call of Duty (the modern generation) has a lot to answer for in this regard, and with its focus on tighter maps, faster respawns, and more realistic player damage, the multiplayer element of the game became less abou...[Read More]
