Rainbow Six Extraction
Tom Clancy’s name has been stretched in a multitude of ways. The franchises attached to the Tom Clancy’s brand have been equally stretched. Splinter Cell, Ghost Recon, The Division… XDefiant? The worlds inspired by the author’s works have often been relatively grounded, if not a bit out of the realm of belief. Years ago I read the massive tome that was Rainbow Six because I...[Read More]

Assassin’s Creed Valhalla
Assassin’s Creed Valhalla is at a crossroads. Bursting at the seams with content and technical prowess, it may remind players of Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag, released at this same time seven years ago. A cheery, cavalier game, Black Flag butted heads with the coming end of the PlayStation 3/Xbox 360 era and the introduction of the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. Valhalla, as you may ha...[Read More]
Far Cry: New Dawn
Far Cry: New Dawn was a constant thrill as I took my mustachioed female player character and blazed a trail through post-apocalyptic Hope County, Montana. Ample laughs and entertainment have become a pillar of the franchise and this direct sequel to Far Cry 5 is not one to buck the trend. Players who remain captivated by Ubisoft’s open-worlds of anything-can-happen madness won’t find a...[Read More]

The bombastically chaotic FPS series often keeps its tone in check, skirting the fine line between too serious and too dumb. We all have stories of gunning down a band of soldiers after a brisk wingsuit flight from some distant peak, only to be attacked by a voracious predator like a b...[Read More]
For Honor: Marching Fire Preview
Much like its warriors who have blazed a bloody trail through countless battlefields, For Honor is a ferocious being that can’t be tamed. The proverbial cuts and bruises that Ubisoft’s one-of-a-kind fighting game have suffered only serve to bolster the development team’s dedication towards a product that is challenging, brutal, and rarely without thrill. Like a fine wine, time st...[Read More]
Assassin’s Creed Origins
There is shaky ground as of late with gamer’s trust in the Assassin’s Creed series. The last one was filled with some broken elements and decent gameplay that mostly felt like a cookie-cutter template had been used in previous AC titles. Having watched the industry since the early 80s, I know some developers/publishers can easily fall into a routine when you know the structure of a game works and ...[Read More]
