Launch the Baby Review (PC)
Reviewing games is like playing a game of basketball against multiple teams. Every team isn’t going to be the same and you’re always going to shift your strategy and approach depending on the team. It’s what keeps reviewing fun and the video game industry continually interesting. When you’re reviewing a game like Call of Duty: It’s a New Year, you’re not going to take that same review structure an...[Read More]
Hawked – Hands-on Preview
Competitive gaming is becoming more and more popular as the years go by.

That’s the basic structure of the game and a few added gameplay ...[Read More]
Knockout City Review
One of the biggest issues I have with competitive gaming is the lack of even ground. Typically, you have characters that are overpowered or underpowered. You have equipment that gives one player an advantage over another. You have a different combination of attributes that tip the balance of fair gameplay. Some, if not all of the above are reasons I avoid Esports gaming. It’s difficult to find a g...[Read More]
