Coming Soon: Modern Warfare Trilogy?
For those of you still raging against Activision for bundling Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare Remastered with the upcoming Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare, there is good news and bad news. Whoops, I take it back, it’s just bad news. Best Buy is listing Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Trilogy for the Playstation 3 and Xbox 360 for $30.

Battlefield 1 : Back to its Roots, and BOY Does it Look Good
Thank God this is not going to be another futuristic soldier game! Over the last 6 years, a new trend has been going on that has infuriated me to my core. Being someone that was in love with the Call of Duty franchise, my soul has been crushed over and over again the last couple of years. I first fell in love with military-style First Person Shooters in 2002, when Battlefield 1942 came out. I inst...[Read More]

My Thoughts on the Battleborn Beta
I played the recent Battleborn beta test and enjoyed the game. I put a large amount of time into the game, and the amount of suckage on my part while playing it was also large. But while I did suck at it – I called myself the MVP of Digital Crack as a joke – I came away from Battleborn feeling I had a very good experience overall. I should say first that I am not great at first-person shooters. I ...[Read More]
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]

EA drops it’s first trailer for Battlefront Outer Rim DLC

As of this week, you now have a good answer to that last question. EA and DICE have posted a trailer for the imminent Outer Rim expansion that gives you a solid look at Jabba’s home, whether it’s t...[Read More]

First DLC pack for Xcom 2 out now, adds customisation options
Firaxis has released the first DLC pack for their rather fantastic turn-based tactical alien shooter,Xcom 2. It’s not the type of DLC that adds more gameplay content to the title, though, but is rather aimed at those who take pride in making their squad of elite soldiers look as cool, unique or weird as possible. Dubbed Anarchy’s Children, the DLC pack adds more than 100 new options fo...[Read More]
