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]

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.

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]

The game, a gussied-up version of the most beloved game in the Call of Duty se...[Read More]

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]
