'Fortnite: Save the World' Review
I was introduced to Fortnite like many of the early players. I saw it in the store and noticed it was a free-to-play battle royale. Naturally, I downloaded it immediately. After booting the game up for the first time I noticed that the "Save The World" Section was blocked by a paywall. Of course, I did what any rational person would with a sense of overwhelming curiosity would. I bought the "Deluxe Founder" bundle and began playing.

Which Console Is King?
Let me get my biases out of the way: I freaking love the Switch. I love it handheld so much that I haven’t even seen it to be worth purchasing a pro controller to play it docked. So yeah, spoiler alert, I think Switch is the best console on the market right now.

'Kingdom Come: Deliverance' Review
When it comes to large games put out by relatively small companies there is a tendency to be a little overly critical over some imperfections. A lot of those games tend to be priced a little less to accommodate for those issues that are, frankly, unavoidable with a small team. Sometimes that is not the case, however.

'Far Cry 5: Hours of Darkness'
If you were a fan of using stealth in Far Cry 5, you will love this DLC. Hours of Darkness feels like an entirely different game. Right from the beginning, you are thrown into the action as Wendell Redler, the Vietnam veteran found near Falls End. With his helicopter downed by the enemy, you must free your squadmates and other prisoners, all whilst clearing out NVA camps, destroying AA guns, and taking out NVA commanders. Along the way, you will face new wildlife, enemies, and an entirely new perk system. Instead of finding magazines that give you a perk point, you earn "Survival Instincts" via stealth kills. Now, don't think that you can kill a few enemies quietly and go off running and gunning. To keep your Survival Instincts, you must remain undetected or they will be stripped from you.

'Hearts of Iron IV': A Gamer's Review
So you've most likely won the Second World War on other games like Call of Duty and Medal of Honor as a Run N' Gun soldier without a care in the world. However, those games don't paint the picture of how it was actually won: with strategy, logistics, and painful-time consuming planning.

'Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons' Review
In a 2017 article with Glixel, Rami Ismail wrote about the ‘language of gaming’, which could be described as inherent and ubiquitous knowledge in video games that dictate narrative logic and colloquial control inputs. Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons speaks in a dialect all its own on every front. While the story and controls occasionally stumble over their own words, Brothers manages to deliver a beautifully offbeat oration.

Quest Factory: Aztec
What’s up guys, it's Dannis here, following the numbers to the hidden temples of Quest Factory’s Aztec. I haven't heard much about this room other than it was sort of scary. Funny thing is, I found that out when I got there. So I wasn't sure what I was in for. But with the team that I had, I was going to be the one to go in head first. But before we get into that, here is some info about Aztec at Quest Factory.

How 'Critical Role' Changed My Perception of Playing DND Characters
It’s been years since I’ve played Dungeons and Dragons. I had many fond memories of playing with friends around the gaming table and helping my character progress in their abilities and power. I had a lot of fun playing in famous Forgotten Realms locales like Cormyr, Icewind Dale and the Sword Coast.

The Enduring Appeal of 'Dynasty Warriors'
Dynasty Warriors is a series of video games published by Tecmo Koei and developed by Omega Force that has spanned generations of consoles and appealed to the hearts of a contingent of loyal fans. Yet, although the franchise has developed a cult following among its devotees, many design decisions have prevented the hack-and-slash experience from ever fully realizing its mainstream potential. While the technology of the underlying hardware has continued to propel itself into the future, the core mechanics within these games remain largely unchanged, save for a few quality of life improvements. And while each iteration has grown progressively more expansive and involved, the gameplay formula continues to boil down to a few simple yet satisfying button commands.

Sonic the Hedgehog Has a Deal with the Devil
Super Mario is the most recognizable character on the planet earth. That's not a guess or hyperbole. A survey performed in 1990 showed Mario overtaking the former champion, Mickey Mouse. There's not a soul alive who doesn't know who Super Mario is. So it makes sense that everyone in the gaming industry wanted their own Mario, and Sega was one of them. In 1991, Sonic the Hedgehog was released for the Mega Drive and Genesis to great success. For the next three years, Sonic saw a multitude of games, culminating with Sonic & Knuckles, arguably the best of them. A real rivalry was born – plumber vs. hedgehog.
