Just Cause 4 Review

Just Cause 4

The Just Cause franchise is one that I’m a big fan of. Being able to explore an island nation and cause wanton amounts of destruction, all while being a badass James Bond-esque character has been something that the series has generally excelled at. I jumped onto the franchise with Just Cause 2 which was one of my favorite games to play on the PS3. Just Cause 3 was a step down from its predecessor, but it still offered a good amount of fun with the introduction of the wing suit and some new ways to use your grapple tools. Does Just Cause 4 bring the series back to explosive glory?

It’s crazy to think that 2018 is already ending guys! It feels like the year started not too long ago. Because I didn’t really post much about the games that I played throughout the year, I figured now would be the perfect time for me to look back on them and just offer my thoughts on them.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 Review

Call of Duty: Black Ops 4

The Call of Duty franchise has been in a state of flux over the course of the past year. Last year’s WWII was meant to be the return to the series’ roots that the community had been clamoring for for years, but it ended up being simply good and not the great revamp that everyone was hoping it would be. On top of that, Fortnite has taken the world by storm with its battle royale mode, making it the most popular game in the world right now. In the past, you’d hear people always talking about Call of Duty and see friends lists filled with people playing the latest game in the franchise. It dominated YouTube in a way that no game before it did.

Marvel’s Spider-Man Review

Marvel's Spider-Man

Superhero games have important jobs to fulfill. They have to put you in the shoes of the character and make you believe that you actually are this person. They need to deliver a story that takes some of the best parts of the character’s comic history, and mashes it all together in a package that at the very least is a fun ride to go on. The world that you play in has to be a great representation of the one that you see in the comics and other media. Most importantly though, the game needs to be fun to play. Insomniac Games checks all these boxes and delivers one of the best superhero games ever with their highly anticipated Marvel’s Spider-Man.

The Walking Dead: The Final Season – Episode 2 Review

Telltale's The Walking Dead: The Final Season

Going into the second episode of The Walking Dead: The Final Season after the news broke that Telltale Games was closing down, throwing the future of the season into question was bittersweet. There’s the potential that things won’t get resolved, and even if the final two episodes do come out, who knows if they’ll be as good since the original team won’t be making them. If things are going to end here though after two episodes, things are ending on a strong note, albeit one that ends with a cliffhanger.

Now That Was An Awesome Win I Pulled Off

By: Tyler Miller

When I play games online, I typically don’t have too many clutch moments. That’s mostly because I don’t typically play objective game types. Last night though I was playing some Destiny 2: Forsaken and had by far my best clutch moment that I can think of.

After I made that play and secured the round for my team, I was so shocked by what happened. It all happened so fast that it took me a moment to really comprehend what I had just done. I was impressed and amazed with myself since I’m solid in Destiny PvP, but definitely not the best. So pulling off a clutch win like that is something that I’m definitely going to celebrate and be proud of for quite some time. Too bad we still lost the overall match.
