E3 Impressions: Days Gone
Zombie games! For the love of all that is decent and holy, how many of these can we have? In my opinion, the zombie genre has been overdone to the point of nausea. Despite my feelings about the genre, however, it’s a really popular one.

E3 Impressions: Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare
Mentioning Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare online tends to elicit very radical responses from “impassioned” fans. Many of the responses are negative, and some are vitriolic. I have prepared myself for these. I have my Kevlar helmet on, my bulletproof vest strapped on, and my AR-15 loaded and ready. Bring it! OK, I’m not loaded or armored; the only thing loaded in this house is me, and the most arm...[Read More]
E3 Impressions: Detroit: Become Human

It was the machines that threw me off. The vibe of the E3 gameplay demo was one of a post...[Read More]

Kratos is back and this time we are going with Norse Mythology. From the startup of the Sony E3 Conference, we hear a wonderful orchestra that resembled a lot to the old God of War days, but we haven’t seen a God of War game since Ascension. Seeing the startup of the demo, we are introduced to a young boy playing with his toys dressed Nordic style. He is then called in by a man, but this man’s voi...[Read More]
E3 Impressions: South Park: The Fractured But Whole
I thoroughly enjoyed 2014’s South Park: The Stick of Truth. The upcoming follow-up. South Park: The Fractured But Whole, looks like a game I will be thoroughly enjoying upon release.
