What can we learn from Fallout 4’s launch trailer?
With just a handful of days left until Fallout 4’s release, Bethesda released their launch trailer which coincidentally appears to have a significant amount of the story outlined in it. If it were any other game, it would be approaching borderline spoiler territory, but given the nature of Fallout 4, it is likely that there are still some secrets that ...

At some point in gaming history, it was decided that randomized rewards would encourage people to invest more time into certain games. Soon after, microtransactions were tied to the randomized rewards, drawing a fine line between gambling and gaming. Halo 5 is the latest game to follow this trend with it’s REQ system, letting you earn cosmetic items and more ...

The Legend of Zelda: TriForce Heroes is the newest entry in the Legend of Zelda series. This series contains some of the greatest video games ever made, so every Zelda title launches to an insanely high amount of expectations.

Ever since 343 Industries took over the Halo franchise just over three years ago, they had the (somewhat unenviable) task of continuing the story of the Master Chief.

Prior to Halo 5 releasing, the marketing campaign revolved around the possibility ...

After standing in line for the midnight release of Unity last year and getting home to a broken game that I couldn’t even bring myself to finish (despite the enormous amount of potential that the setting provided), I was afraid for Syndicate (though, at the time, we all thought we’d be playing a game called Assassin’s Creed Victory). Would Syndicate make the same mistakes that Unity did? Would this ...

Halloween is upon us, and, for gamers, that can only mean one thing: It’s time to play (or replay) some amazing horror-based games. Video games have become just as much of a Halloween tradition as scary movies, haunted houses, and pumpkin patches. Every year, we feel an itch to turn the lights off, turn on our consoles, and willingly subject ...

In the beginning, there was Halo: Combat Evolved, and while it was incredibly basic by modern standards, it was good. Then came Halo 2, and though the ending was somewhat controversial, it too was good, expanding upon what made Halo great in every aspect from storytelling to multiplayer. And soon, Halo 3 followed to finish the fight, introducing some new ...

On Friday, October 23rd, Bungie had the excellent timing to release the hard mode version of their latest raid in the Taken King DLC, King’s Fall. Of course, most of the more avid players in Destiny’s audience tried their hand at beating it, thinking that their relatively high levels and good equipment will see them through to the end with ...

Guitar Hero Live marks the return of a series that changed the rhythm game genre forever when it began in 2005. After 2010, it seemed like the series was dead. Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock launched, but it looked like that was the end of things. Industry experts declared that the era of plastic guitar controllers was over, and we believed them. Now, though, in ...
