The reveal of Battlefield 6 has set the heather alight. For the first time in a long time, there’s excitement surrounding a AAA first-person shooter that isn’t Call of Duty. Change seems to be in the air, but is it all bluster? I’ve never been much of a Battlefield…
Black Ops 6 Zombies: Reckoning Preview – Towering Ends
The end is nigh. Black Ops 6’s final Zombies map, Reckoning, is on the way, and if I’m being honest, I’m excited! The teasers from the past week far exceed those for previous maps like Citadelle Des Morts, The Tomb, or Shattered Veil. They’re more reminiscent of the Terminus ones…
Xbox Steps Back and PlayStation Steps Beyond
Whether it was due to the vocal outcry online or disappointing pre-order numbers, the decision has been made: The Outer Worlds 2 will no longer release at the previously announced $79.99 RRP. It’s yet another unforced error by Xbox, which just can’t seem to stop shooting itself in the foot.…
Destiny 2: The Edge of Fate Campaign Review – Pen Beats Sword
I had no plans to cover Destiny 2: The Edge of Fate. My Guardian and Ghost were enjoying their retirement in The Tower after the conclusion of The Light and Darkness Saga, ready to let new guardians take up the mantle while they took Archie for ‘walkies’. That changed when…
It’s Not Xbox Anymore. It’s Microsoft Gaming.
Last May, I wrote: “Hopefully, the June showcase can put some fears to rest, but it will take a lot of work for Xbox to regain the trust of its fan base and the wider gaming community. We can no longer take anything the company says at face value, and…
Resident Evil 9: Requiem for a Dream Game
The festivities of Summer Game Fest are over for another year. It was the most E3-feeling event in a long time, thanks to PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo all having something going on (although a console launch isn’t typically common in June!). I was impressed by quite a few of the announcements…
Black Ops 7: The Seventh Wonder
Black Ops 7, outta nowhere! In retrospect, I’m not surprised it turned up at the Xbox Summer Showcase. Microsoft invested a substantial amount of time and money acquiring Activision, of course, it’d want the publisher’s pièce de résistance to appear. I don’t think anyone could have predicted the way it…
The Grief of Modern COD Zombies
I’ve already had a lot to say about the return of Grief, but no matter the amount of pre-release information available, you can only get a feel for it once you’ve jumped into a match. Having spent the past week body-blocking players in hallways and collecting bruises from Kali Sticks,…
Good Grief, It’s Back
For the first time in over a decade, Grief returns! If you’d asked me back in 2012, I never would have imagined being excited about it coming back in a future game. I was not a fan of Black Ops 2 Zombies at launch and saw Grief as nothing more…
