Of all the games Bethesda was rumored to be showing at E3 this year, Dishonored 2 was the one I was most excited about. The sequel to 2012’s stealth action adventure game was high on everyone’s wish list, including mine. Well, Bethesda seems to have knocked this one out of the park. The game takes place 15 years after the original game. The player can play as either Corvo Attano, the hero of the l...[Read More]
The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim Special Edition has me at odds with myself. As an old-school gamer and collector, I was initially averse to remasters of older titles. My thinking was, I admit, pretty narrow-focused: “Why should I buy the remaster? I have the original game right here!” I have since learned to embrace remasters of classic titles like Resident Evil 4 and Full Throttle, as they offer gamers...[Read More]

It’s the one aspect of titles...[Read More]
True confession: I wasn’t that fond of the original Titanfall. I bought my son his Xbox One two Christmases ago. The only game he cared about when he got his Xbone was Titanfall. When he got it, he played it religiously. I, of course, tried it as well and came away less impressed. Yes, the mech combat was sweet, and the game overall had lots of polish, but I just wasn’t all that blown away by it. ...[Read More]
This game made me remember a time when I loved FPSes. That time was 2002, and I was heavily into Battlefield 1942. In my many arguments with Grumpy Joe about modern FPSes, I always go back to this game, how I used to enjoy playing it, and how none of the FPSes today have the same feel as it. I could never accurately explain it, but something about today’s games felt weak compared to that one. Watc...[Read More]
