Fallout 4 has a special place in my heart as it was one of the last things my father and I bonded over prior to his passing. I was playing in the living room, exploring the Boston Commonwealth (as you do) and listening to Diamond City Radio (the in-game radio station that featured classic music from the 40s and 50s). He had heard Cole Porter, Tex Beneke, and Billie Holiday blasting from the TV whi...[Read More]
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]
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]
The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered is one of the worst kept gaming secrets of 2025, similar to the degree of “secrecy” of the Switch 2 launch announcement. Folks on Reddit, Twitter (yes, Twitter), Facebook, Snapchat, TikTok, Myspace, and LinkedIn all knew that Bethesda’s darling 2006 remaster was coming. We all knew of its existence from drips, drabs, and leaks. We just didn’t know when it ...[Read More]
It’s been a long Saturday night. I’ve downed multiple cups of coffee and have spent somewhat of eight hours piloting my ship around the universe. Tonight, I was looking for a habitable planet to mine for resources. Upon grav-jumping to a new galaxy, a ship popped up in front of me piloted by an NPC named Grandma. The ship’s comms relay opened: “Hello, dear! I just made dinner. Why don’t you stop f...[Read More]
We are revisiting Deathloop, but this time on the Xbox Series X. A small disclaimer before we begin. While I cannot fathom ever having a write-up like Ben Sheene’s original Deathloop review, I do have some notes to add for this newly released XBX game that was an exclusive on the PlayStation 5. I have purposely gone into this game without playing it on the PS5, and I must admit that Ben hit the na...[Read More]
Over the last few years, ZeniMax has brought us some wonderful additions to The Elder Scrolls Online. Grand adventures through Elsweyr, facing off against vampires, and defying demons brought us into these larger-than-life, legendary stories. And while these adventures have been intriguing, they have been quite dark. This year, The Elder Scrolls Online lightens things up quite a bit. High Isle is ...[Read More]
Ghostwire: Tokyo has remained elusive since its slick, stylish E3 2019 debut. In the three years that have followed, the handful of moments where Tango Gameworks’ first non-The Evil Within game has appeared did little to lift the veil. This is from the studio founded by Shinji Mikami, the name behind Resident Evil. It looks steeped in Japanese folklore and horror. And the main character̷...[Read More]
The final chapter of the Gates of Oblivion event is finally here! I can’t wait to jump in!

The Elder Scrolls Online: Deadlands is available now for all PC/MAC and Stadia players. The new DLC will launch on Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PlayStation 5, and PlayStation 4 on Novemb...[Read More]
ZeniMax brought us a wonderful new surprise today with Matt Heafy's cover of "Reach Witch Chant," as well as a new single from Trivium. I was able to sit down with Matt Heafy as well as a couple of ZeniMax directors to get their insight about the collaboration.
Over the last couple of years, some major additions have come to The Elder Scrolls Online. For the first time since some of the early Elder Scrolls titles, we’ve gotten to explore Elsweyr. Last year, I got to make a return to my first Elder Scrolls experience when we were put back into Skyrim in Greymoor. This year looks to be a treat for Elder Scrolls fans. Whi...[Read More]
I’m kind of embarrassed to say this but I have never played a Doom game. I had heard many great things about the series but never attempted to play because I didn’t enjoy first-person shooters or think I was good at them. But, here I am now, reviewing Doom Eternal on the Nintendo Switch. I figured that I would give it a try after seeing all the hype about the game releasing, even back when people ...[Read More]
