It’s the Halloween season, the spookiest time of the year. Time for candy, creative costumes, pumpkin spice, and dreadful haunts. This time of the year also calls for more horror filled games to keep players occupied for the scary holiday. Here are some games to try out for the season. Some games are more obvious […]
EA and DICE have been taking us the Outer Rim and the Cloud City at Bespin the past few months. But the most anticipated locale Star Wars Battlefront hasn’t visited yet is the Death Star. The Death Star DLC came out last week for season pass owners while others have to wait till next week. […]
We’re on the tail end of Season 3 for Killer Instinct and this week was the release of the Definitive Edition.

Skull Rain is Finally Here! The Skull Rain update for Rainbow Six: Siege is finally here and that means a host of exciting additions and changes. A new map, new operators, new weapons, new UI updates and a brand new season of ranked tactical special ops combat. As usual, a new intro screen takes center stage at […]
Here Comes a New Hero! When it comes to adding new characters, most games will add several heroes at the same time. Not Overwatch, however. Joining the cast all on her own is Ana, a sixty year-old Russian support sniper. The supporting sniper role is not one I’ve seen in other games and is fairly novel. […]
