Diablo IV: Vessel of Hatred Review (PS5)
Before we begin, let me get some disclaimers out of the way. The first is that I hadn’t played Diablo IV before this review.

Diablo 4
I find it hard to fathom that Diablo 3 released 11 years ago. But then I’m reminded it took 12 years for the follow-up to Diablo 2 to arrive. Maybe in 10 years Diablo 5 will release.

My finger wasn’t truly...[Read More]

Diablo 3: Eternal Collection – Nintendo Switch Review
When Nintendo announced the Nintendo Switch way back in 2016, my very first thought was exactly, “Diablo 3 needs to come to the Switch and I will lose my life to it.” Here we are in 2018, Diablo 3 is on the Switch, and I have almost lost my life to it.
