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]

DayZ Still Coming to PS4 and Xbox One but PC Still has Priority for Now
DayZ is one of those games that attract an unusual amount of interest. The game, originally a mod for ARMA II, has become a monster of its own, despite not being technically finished.

Since the announcemen...[Read More]

When EA and DICE removed one particular feature from Star Wars Battlefront, however, players rejoiced. A recent patch for the game, coinciding with the new Death Star expansion, lists a bevy of changes. Tucked well within the “General” section of the patch’s notes is one seemingly-innocuous ...[Read More]
Modern Warfare Remastered May be Sold Separately – Or Not
I pity anyone who has to talk to media outlets when video games are concerned. Say one thing wrong and the internet is gonna eat you alive…or do endless cartwheels. That was what seemingly happened when Raven Software director David Pellas sat down with Game Reactor to talk about Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered. The game, a gussied-up version of the most beloved game in the Call of Duty se...[Read More]

The tale of two cities : How Tokyo’s flagship games event remains in E3’s shadow.
The Tokyo Games Show celebrated its 20th anniversary this year, and while crowds over the two public days hit either side of 100,000, the absence of a genuine show stopper could be seen as a slight disappointment. The presence of Sony, as it has been recently, was huge. Horizon: Zero Dawn still looks incredible, and while the upcoming release of the PlayStation Pro triggered suspicions that...[Read More]

Retro Review: Bushido Blade (PS1)
Release Date: March 14, 1997 Developer: SquareSoft, Light Weight Publisher: SquareSoft With all the attention For Honor’s closed alpha received this past weekend, I felt it only appropriate to go back and look at Bushido Blade, the PS1 game that For Honor’s stance system reminded me of.

For Honor Impressions
I guess the following little anecdote can best explain my feelings for the game For Honor: When Ubisoft announced the game’s closed alpha, I signed up immediately. For Honor is one of the games I saw at E3 that really interested me, and I wanted to take it for a spin. Of course, since I am older than video games, I promptly forgot about it and went on with my life. Last Friday, I received an email...[Read More]
