The major element of E3 is the games. Last year, I only covered a few major games and let the rest come and go as it was. This year, I plan on covering many many more games, over the next week or so – easily probably 20 different games are certainly worth me at least …

Let The E3 2017 Coverage Begin!
Just because I’m “not excited for E3” doesn’t mean the news presented at the event doesn’t excite me! It certainly does, and had you read that previous article carefully you would have seen the point is the information, not the event itself – the event is archaic, but the news shared isn’t. No, I’m Not …

The Computer Chronicles – Greatest Computer Games (1995)
In this 1995 episode of The Computer Chronicles, Stuart Cheifet takes a look at the cutting-edge in gaming entertainment in the mid 90’s.

Titanfall 2 Single Player Cinematic
Ah, Titanfall. Remember the campaign slogan, “believe the hype?” Well the hype was just that, hype. While I do enjoy the game, it was spoken of as something far greater than it really was (but isn’t that always the case?) and quickly fell by the wayside as gaming continued progressing. It looks like in Titanfall …

Hawken on Xbox One – Initial Thoughts and Review
I’m a big fan of the sci-fi trope known as Mecha. These massive, humanoid, piloted battle machines are in many stories key plot elements (Evangelion, Gundam, Mechwarrior, for examples) and have been present in many video games, from side instances in Halo 4 and 5, to being central gameplay elements like in Titanfall or Shogo: …

World War One First Person Shooter Verdun is Coming to the Xbox One and Playstation 4
World War One, by all accounts I’ve heard, would be the closest thing to “Hell on Earth” that has ever happened in human history. In many ways, it was the first true “modern” war, and in an equal number of ways was the last “traditional” war. The Verdun video game is based on the events …

Writing About What I Want, When I Want, How I Want – An Update
So, over the past few months I’ve been writing more. Much much more than I have in months, indeed, in years past. I’ve expressed before that I am switching over from making YouTube videos to writing more. I still crank out the occasional video, but at this stage, it’s so much easier to write than …

First Look at Titanfall 2 Single Player and Multiplayer Trailers
Make no mistake about it, I genuinely enjoy Titanfall. I’m a fan of mechs as is, and to have a FPS that is mech based was a great idea. Titanfall had massive hype, but sad to say, to the masses, it didn’t deliver. While being multiplayer only, usually a bane to my enjoyment of a …

First Look At Watch Dogs 2
In 2014, Ubisoft released their highly anticipated hacking-centric open world shooter “Watch Dogs”, and it was met with mixed emotions. Many players loved the unique gameplay element of hacking into various electronics, and felt the city of Chicago was captured well, but criticized the driving controls, some story and character elements and most of all, …

When Open World Games are Too Open
I’ve been playing Farcry 4 off and on for the past few months. Yeah, it’s a 2014 title, but it’s still a good one – in fact, it was the first game I bought for my Xbox One when I purchased it last year, but only in November of 2015 did I get around to …

A Rant on Downloadable Content
Downloadable Content. Intended as a way to expand the quality of a game after its initial release, many gamers see it as a bane of their gaming experience, often feeling it is nothing more than a way to milk more money out of the consumer who already spent $60 or more on their new game. …
