Never Played: Prison Architect
As I write this, I am working on my third prison in Prison Architect. When I mean I’m working on it, I mean it’s on one of my 4 monitors. It’s running in the background as I write this. I am $157 in the red with this prison. But as soon as stupid prisoners buy into the Foundation Education Program, I’ll be in the black financially. Then again, if I expand the prison wing by another 85 inmates, I’l...[Read More]

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]

A recent report that Modern Warfare Remastered could be sold after the fact gave some diehard fans hope. ...[Read More]
Ubisoft Noncommittal on Assassin’s Creed or Far Cry for 2017
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. If Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot is to be believed, we might not see a new entry in 2017, either. Guillemot sat down with GameSpot and discussed the future. He’s preaching patience, giving the impression that the French publisher is focusing on releasing a quality pr...[Read More]
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]

Destiny 2 Headed to PC, Player Characters May Not
According to Kotaku, Destiny 2 will launch on PC as well as Xbox One and PlayStation 4. Kotaku credited “several sources” with the news. The game, due out sometime in 2017, has hit a few development snags. One of the snags is that developer Bungie is a bit more ambitious with the new game. They want Destiny 2 to be more than a glorified expansion. In the process, however, they may have had to scut...[Read More]

Street Fighter V Update Drops Tons of Changes, Some Hilarious, Some Bad
Capcom’s recent update 1.06 for Street Fighter V has added a ton of changes to the game. While most were expected, at least one unexpected but welcome. And one of them was not intended and was potentially harmful. The main addition with update 1.06 was Urien, the last fighter to be added for Season 1. Last seen in Street Fighter III: 2nd Impact, the brawler is bedecked in a suit. This disappointed...[Read More]
