As a massive Mötley Crüe fan, I’ve read multiple biographies and accounts of the most decadent band of all time but there is no better book out there than The Dirt. It’s unabashedly the greatest biography I’ve ever read.
It’s been a long and tumultuous path for the Crackdown series since it’s announcement all the way back in 2014. At the time, it was set to usher in a new wave of technology for the Xbox One utilizing the power of cloud based computing. The tech demos for the level destruction in the multiplayer component shown over that time was truly impressive but multiple delays and years later gamers began to doubt whether or not they’d be able to deliver a great gaming experience. I’m happy to say that nearly 5yrs later Crackdown 3 arrives. Has all this time away been good for series? Let’s take a look.
It’s that time of year again. The time when you start to turn your attention to the season of giving and I’m here to help. All week we’re going to post a series of articles detailing some great gift ideas for you to consider getting for the gamer/geek in your life. Let’s get right to it with our first post for the Xbox gamer in your life.
Last year Call of Duty took us back to the familiar theater of WWII. Personally, I found it to be the best game in the series since Modern Warfare and the lack of jumping, wall running and the like was a welcome shift in the franchise. Black Ops 4 continues the trend of “boots on the ground” but they’ve done a few different things this year. No formal campaign. As someone who loves a good story, I was more than a little miffed at this revelation. Instead Treyarch opted to but strong laser-like focus on the multiplayer aspects of the game and a new Battle Royale mode Blackout. Black Ops 4 takes the already strong multiplayer foundation from previous games and adds a bit more…
Last week, I had a special delivery from our friends at Turtle Beach. The brand spanking new Turtle Beach Elite Pro 2 + Superamp dropped right on my front doorstep and .. WOW! It’s no surprise I’m a huge fan of the Turtle Beach product. I’ve been a customer of theirs for years and not a single one of them has ever quit on me. They just have a very high quality product and the Elite Pro 2 + Superamp is no exception. Surprisingly, you’ll see that the Elite Pro 2 + Superamp is not a wireless headset. I know that may turn some people off and to be totally fair, I hear you. I, myself had a sort of snotty moment where I thought…
Preface*** I’m sorry guys. I feel I let you all down. I feel like I let myself down a bit too. I tried and tried to grind out the full story for this review but I was unable to make it happen. This game is literally the biggest game that Ubisoft has brought out. Most of the Assassin’s Creed games in my experience I can hammer them out in a weekend. In fact, I’ve done every single game in the franchise over the course of a weekend. Unfortunately, that didn’t happen with this one. Not because I didn’t dedicate enough time to the game though. I literally woke up between 2-4am most days since I got it to try and get through as much as…
Another year another entry into the ever popular flagship racing franchise Forza. As has been customary for the last while, this year’s installment is for the slightly more arcadey racing sim with the 4th entry into the Horizon series.
Transference puts the player in first person perspective as they explore an apartment building collecting clues and solving puzzles all in the name of opening up the next piece of the story. You’ll be looking/listening for puzzles or clues in a picture perfect home and the next thing you know, a flip of a light switch and you’re in the same room only there’s something more insidious and darker.
Shadow of the Tomb Raider takes Lara to the region of Central and South America as she’s set to take on the corporation Trinity who is hell bent on acquiring an ancient silver box and a key that, when combined, will allow the holder to remake the world as they see fit.
