Extreme “Who’s-listening-in-2021"-on-a-Led-Zeppelin-Youtube-video energy. Go away.

This is the most fun I’ve had with an FPS in awhile and the devs have been incredibly transparent throughout the beta. Feels like it could really be the next big thing in the FPS world.

If they think it’s the best, who are you to say otherwise? It’s a fantastic series. I never understand responses like this.

Finally managed to snag an Xbox Series S, so I’ll be Game Pass-ing all weekend. Looking to dive into Sea of Thieves, Forza Horizons 4, and Halo MCC. I haven’t owned an Xbox since the end of the 360 days nearly 10 years ago, so I’m excited to play a bunch of new games and catch up on some titles that have passed me…

“The Legend of Zelda: Death of the Wild”

I can never bring myself to hit the shot. Shepard gets so many wins and garners so much acclaim over the course of these games, it only feels right for the legendary Archangel, my Shep’s ride-or-die best friend, to get one little moment in the sun. Knowing how that Garrus understands, on some level, that he’ll never…

While I agree with you, I think we see these kinds of articles specifically because Microsoft pushes the “we want everyone to have access to everything” narrative (see Phil Spencer’s quote near the end of this very article) and then drops a bunch of exclusives. As far as I can recall, for better and mostly for worse,…

Hmmm, medallion’s humming.

I’ll be (finally) finishing up Mass Effect 3 this weekend, it’s been such a joy to revisit this trilogy. I’m not as hot on ME3 as I used to be; it very much plays like a straight-up action game as opposed to the more thoughtful and talky sci-fi of the first two. But the combat is still solid, and it really nails the…

Totally get where you’re coming from with this (it would track plot-wise) but I’m actually glad to hear that the game doesn’t go the dark ‘n gritty route that so many AAA games nowadays are. R&C games are, almost always, lighthearted and goofy, and it’s comforting to know that this game retains that comforting…

Fair enough! I’m all for not being reminded of the last year.

If it’s based on Rainbow Six Siege’s “Outbreak” mode, I wonder why they didn’t just go with Rainbow Six Outbreak. Extraction isn’t terrible or anything, but it doesn’t really convey the parasite of it all.

Surely there must have been a way to review this without sticking a big ‘ol spoiler in the headline.

I’ve been playing a lot of Mass Effect 2 for the first time since it launched, and I’m reminded at every turn how it’s one of the best sci-fi games ever made. Takes everything the first did poorly and fixes almost all of it (let Shepard sprint, for the love of god) and takes everything it did well and turns it up even…
