I’m not very familiar with the Warhammer universe. The lore, species, and history are all things I’m very ignorant of when it comes to Warhammer. I do know that there are Space Marines, Inquisitors, an Emperor, a bunch of aliens, and the fact that it all takes place in the distant future. Outside of that, I would be very lost in a conversation with a Warhammer enthusiast. On the video game front, I’ve played Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine, Warhammer: Vermitide, and Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War. I have the original Total War: Warhammer sitting in my library as a result of a recent Amazon Prime giveaway but have yet to play it. But the game that I’ve recently played that I believe ascends past them all is Warhammer 40,000: Inquisitor – Martyr. Continue Reading
If you download and install the free Battlefield 2 standalone mod known as Nations At War, you will gain access to hundreds of maps and a gameplay experience like you’ve never experienced in Battlefield 2. You do need your CD key from Battlefield 2 to play the mod. There are maps included in Nations At War that include the ability to not only fight against Xenomorphs and raptors but also give you the ability to play as them. In this video, I went both alien and raptor hunting. There are other cool things to discover in the Nations At War mod so be sure to check it out. Props to the mod team for their excellent work on what I believe is one of Battlefield 2’s best mods. Continue Reading
Being a PC gamer allows me to check out many games that are nowhere near ready for a full release. These games are known as “Early Access” games. By purchasing such a game, you become an investor in a project still in development, but get to play what is readily available. One of the cool things about Early Access is that the game is offered at a lower price because you are making a good-faith investment. Sometimes Early Access projects will make it to the big 1.0 version. Other times, they may be abandoned due to a variety of reasons. I did a post back in 2020 that presents some things to think about if you decide to buy an Early Access title. For this post, I want to share some of the good experiences that I’ve had investing in these types of games. Continue Reading
When it comes to purchasing a new video game system, I feel like I’m not the best person to be in the market for one. As a PC gamer, I get a lot out of my hardware and games. Many of the games that I enjoy are released on PC. When I want a break from PC, I have a Nintendo Switch, Nintendo WiiU, PlayStation 4 Pro, and an Xbox 360 that can provide further gaming experiences. The games that I tend to focus on with the other systems are many times exclusive to the platform such as Fire Emblem: Three Houses (Switch), Ghost of Tsushima (PS4), and the first Crackdown (Xbox 360). Many of Xbox’s exclusives are also available on PC so that’s how I keep up with the Microsoft exclusive brands such as Halo, Forza Horizon, Gears of War, Ori, State of Decay, and Sunset Overdrive.
