Fallout 76: Burning Springs Preview
The longevity of Fallout 76 has been something to admire. What is, essentially, the only non-Starfield game we’ve received from Bethesda in the last seven years continues to dazzle me. Since 2018, every major Bethesda or Xbox games showcase has included time dedicated to showing what Fallout 76–and Elder Scrolls Online, by association–has coming up and what the game has accomplis...[Read More]
Heretic+Hexen Review (PS5)
Amid all the Call of Duty games, Battlefield scrums, and every first-person shooter in between, it should never be forgotten where the blueprint for these came from. Knowing your gaming history will allow you to appreciate your gaming present. One might even say that by understanding the progression in the past, you will avoid being Doom’d to repeat it. Or something clever like that. For those of ...[Read More]
New content announced for Fallout 76 and Elder Scrolls Online, trailers released
This is certainly a solid Xbox Showcase. I know that fans of ESO are going to be thrilled with the new content, as that world keeps on growing and rolling. It certainly is a good way to take your mind off of the Elder Scrolls VI, which people are dying to see at any given time. I’m sure we’ll see some footage between now and 2028. I also know that Fallout 76 folks are enjoying their ti...[Read More]
DOOM: The Dark Ages Review
DOOM: The Dark Ages sees the journey of id Software’s modern-day DOOM revitalization complete a perhaps unexpected full circle. Leading up to the game’s release, id has emphasized The Dark Ages‘ inspiration was classic DOOM, that groundbreaking shooter from 1993. 2016’s “reboot” served to bring the framework into the modern era. Spectacular visuals allowed the g...[Read More]
Indiana Jones and the Great Circle Review (PS5)
Indiana Jones is off on another adventure, but this time it’s on the PlayStation 5. Delivering a PS5 edition of Indiana Jones and the Great Circle can only stand to benefit Bethesda, Xbox, and MachineGames. Never let an opportunity to make more money be blocked by a ‘console war’. The industry needs a boost to stay healthy, as does the Xbox brand, and releasing this game on multiple platforms is t...[Read More]
Indiana Jones and the Great Circle Review (Xbox Series X)
A couple of years ago when Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny was announced with James Mangold directing, it was tough not to think that Mangold had a large task ahead of him. Taking an iconic character and putting together a story that was worthy of the previous entries in the Indiana Jones saga probably came with an ark load of pressure. Satisfying a fanbase that felt scorned from the last fi...[Read More]
Indiana Jones and the Great Circle – Preview (Hands-off)
This past week, Digitalchumps was privy to a preview from Bethesda Studios and MachineGames Studio about their game Indiana Jones and the Great Circle. While the preview was hands-off, which I’m sure will change very soon, we did get some great insight about the game’s gameplay, timeline, and how it was trying to balance what makes up a good Indiana Jones adventure. Now, what we didn’t get during ...[Read More]
Redfall Review
It has been a rough week for the folks at Arkane with their recent release of Redfall, a vampire open-world game that has a setup that would make John Carpenter smile. The game is being hailed as something that fell short of expectations, even going as far as drawing ire from Xbox head of everything Phil Spencer. And, to be quite frank, none of what is being said or felt is entirely wrong. While R...[Read More]
Ghostwire – Tokyo – Review
A year removed from our original review of Ghostwire: Tokyo and it has finally made it to the Xbox. So, how did opinions change since last year? I’m glad you asked because that’s why I’m typing this review. Anyway, while the game still has some issues with pacing and content, the overwhelming feeling of dread and a city filled with unnerving creepiness still dominate the gameplay. While those attr...[Read More]
Hi-Fi Rush Review
It’s good to know that a more complicated and far more entertaining Space Channel 5 has entered the match. Hi-Fi Rush is an incredibly unique game that combines musical timing, action, witty humor, and compelling characters to put a beautiful feather in the cap of Microsoft’s Xbox Series X. Let’s get right into it. Story of a musician Well, sorta a musician. The story of Hi-Fi Rush revolves around...[Read More]
The Elder Scrolls Online: High Isle
The next chapter of the Legacy of the Bretons year-long event, High Isle, is here! And with it, a refreshing feel to The Elder Scrolls Online. The past few year-long events have been these epic quests where you must stop a threat to life on Tamriel as you know it. This year, we take a step back and look back toward the people of Tamriel. The Three Banners has been at the heart of ESO the entire ti...[Read More]
Ghostwire: Tokyo
Ghostwire: Tokyo thrives on pushing the malleable boundaries of open world games. I’m unsure how many players will go into playing Ghostwire: Tokyo expecting a wide, open city packed with collectibles. How many playing this will have experience with Tango Gameworks’ The Evil Within series and its rapid emphasis on larger explorable spaces? Within the first hours, Ghostwire: Tokyo provi...[Read More]
