If you’re an auteur, you define genres. You set trends, push boundaries. Every project challenges expectations. You make something daring. Bold. Risky. You ignore expectations, and make something that changes the rules. You make Death Stranding.
Nintendo’s new Switch that doesn’t Switch travels incredibly well and is generally more portable friendly, but it also doesn’t do the thing its name says it does.
John Wick Hex might not be the Wick game we would have expected, nor is is polished to a mirror sheen, but it’s a fun, tactical distraction in its own way.
13 years after its debut, the familiar faces of Gears of War are still around, but far from worn out. Gears 5 has the same beating heart, but breathes new life into the franchise with smart changes and additions. It’s an absolute landslide of content.
Horde mode. Today it’s ubiquitous. A style of gameplay that’s almost expected of a big budget multiplayer title, and a mode that wouldn’t exist without the Gears franchise. I took a run at Gears 5 Horde mode this week, and yup, it’s just as fun and intense as ever.
Gears 5 is just a week away, and this week I took a first look at the Gears 5 campaign. Will it pull back the Gears faithful and those on the fence as well? Early signs point to awwww yeah.
Control is Remedy’s most ambitious title yet, promising incredible technical quality and visual design alongside the visionary narrative style the studio is known for. What’s more, Control is the best work they’ve ever done.
Logitech’s G Pro X headset sets a new benchmark in gaming headphones with stunning performance, solid quality, and a competent mic at a relatively budget price.
Wolfenstein Youngblood flashes forward to the trendier than ever 1980’s where BJ Blazkowicz’s daughters Jess and Soph are taking up his mantle. They’re Nazi killers, no doubt, but regrettably Youngblood struggles to capture the tone and style that have made the recent entries so memorable.
The Gears of War franchise has done a lot for the Xbox brand and video games in general. Where would we be without stop and pop, or the roadie run? I’m as big a fan of horde mode as anyone, but I’ve got to say: I’m really worried about Gears 5.
