Last Epoch: An Endorsement For Early Access Gaming

When it comes to early access gaming, Last Epoch gives you a lot of value for your investment.

I’m a time travel geek. If that theme is in a book, movie, television show, anime, or video game; then I’m interested. That is the reason why Back to the Future is my favorite movie trilogy, Steins Gate is my favorite anime, and the original The Twilight Zone is my favorite television series. All three included time travel as a significant element though The Twilight Zone explored many other sci-fi themes. So when I came across Last Epoch on Steam last year, I was curious to see what it was about. And thank goodness I did. Continue Reading

Unfortunately, Lui Kang and Kung Lao could not save the latest Mortal Kombat movie.

I wanted to like the latest Mortal Kombat film. It was one of the few movies that I was genuinely looking forward to seeing in a long time. The last three Mortal Kombat games have been fantastic in their storytelling, content, and gameplay mechanics. No fighting game out there has put together a better complete package than what the modern Mortal Kombat titles have done. Which is why the latest movie was such a disappointment. Continue Reading

IN THE NEWS: What is Going on With Ubisoft?

It was nearly a year ago that a French newspaper named Libération blew the lid off of what has been described as a “toxic culture” at Ubisoft. Normally, I like to wait to hear with the accused side says before ever jumping to any conclusions. But when Ubisoft then basically admitted that there were things going on within the company that shouldn’t have been occurring, it seemed to validate the previous news articles on the subject. Last summer, we had the resignation of executives and supposedly a plan in place to prevent workplace abuse from happening in the future. Gamesindustry.biz has an article that sums up the series of events that you can access by CLICKING HERE. Continue Reading

There’s More To Life Than Video Games

Gaming is fun but can also be a hindrance depending on how it is used.

I absolutely love gaming. It is one of my favorite hobbies and I will unapologetically admit that to anybody. Despite what some people make think, I am not ashamed one bit that something that I discovered and enjoyed as a child is the same thing that delights me to a greater degree as a middle-aged adult. But I am 100 percent aware that there is far more to life than gaming, even though I do plenty of it. Gaming is something I enjoy in life, but it can never be my life. Continue Reading

BOTS or PLAYERS: Should a Gamer Have to Choose?

Posted on 25 May 2021 by

Classic shooters such as Unreal Tournament 2004 allowed gamers to play against each other and against bots.

I am a big fan of bots in multiplayer shooting games. This is because playing online with other players doesn’t really appeal to me. There are occasions when I will play a Call of Duty game online here and there, but those are rare occurrences. More than 90 percent of my time in multiplayer shooters is spent playing with and against the A.I in the game. It’s what I prefer and I wish that every multiplayer shooting game included this option.
