The World Demands a New Batman Arkham Game
It's been eight years since the release of Batman: Arkham Asylum, a classic game that was built with the words 'Metroidvania' in mind. But ever since then that series has helped influence many mechanics found in other popular games. Things like the fighting system, detective mode, or even the superhero genre, in general, have gotten a boost from the popularity of Rocksteady's franchise. Arkham Asylum is an incredible game that came out of nowhere. Arkham City reinvented itself, while keeping what was so successful about the first one. Arkham Knight, while I love it and praise it to this day, has the most flaws in the franchise.

Let’s Talk About 'Corpse Party'
On the PlayStation Store, on my PSP, a game that popped out at me had the most unusual name of Corpse Party. I had guessed that it would be a horror title. It was also a year before I would download this game... not out of fear, but more like I couldn’t afford the game at the time. But when I finally did download and play it, I lost a little bit of sleep.

'PUBG' Is Disappointing Xbox Players
The game that has captured the attention of PC gamers has come to Xbox consoles. PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds is a 100 player free-for-all game that has been highly popular on PC for the past few months. This game allows players to play solo or in teams. The objective is to be the last ones standing in a large scale battle, where the playing area gets smaller with each passing minute and areas where artillery rain fire from above. The game is a fast pasted shooter with countless options for the player.

ARGs: When Games Meet Real Life
Some may remember last year when Blizzard first hinted about their newest hero at the time. On May 26, 2016, a newspaper appeared on Overwatch's Dorado map, asking a simple question: "Who is Sombra?" At the time, most thought nothing of the message, outside of a potential new hero. But when Ana's origin video was released, everything changed.

Gaming as a Female
Gaming is something for pretty much anyone. From Candy Crush to Call of Duty, I like to think there is something referred to as a “game” for everyone. There is always confrontational debates throughout the technological world; Apple or Android, PlayStation or Xbox and the life long war between console and PC. However, gaming seems to have sunk into a stereotypical hole of a man’s hobby. I, for one, think that’s insane; my grandma plays difficult hidden object games that would make Sherlock blush.

Chocobo Racing
If you aren’t familiar with chocobos then you are in the wrong place, but you are forgiven. Chocobos are like…chickens…or ostriches, and they belong to the Final Fantasy series. They are present in every game, I think, and I also think there are other chocobo based games, but Chocobo Racing is, well, a racing game where you get to play as a Chocobo.

5 Tips For Playing Better Rangers
The wilds of the world are dangerous places, filled with strange beasts and hungry monsters. Most would never step off the beaten path and risk getting lost in these expanses. There are some, though, who are at-home in these huge, empty tracts, who have the skills to survive away from the hustle and bustle of towns and cities, and who can fade into the foliage like ghosts at the first sign of a threat. Valued allies, and deadly enemies, rangers are masters of the untamed wilderness. However, they are often seen as nothing more than that. If you've been looking to step outside the box with your next ranger, consider the following tips.

This hypertensive atmosphere between the Western and Eastern blocs had variable effects on countries all over the world and came to an end in 1991 after 45 years.
