Earth Defense Force: Iron Rain had me utterly fooled. I came into this game with the impression that it was going to be a fun and carefree experience, shooting down giant bugs and robots with the biggest guns I can find. In the end, it proved to be a ...
For gamers who love long, emotional road trips, Days Gone might just be a perfect match. Bend Studios’ latest is an open-world masterpiece for an impressive myriad of reasons, and one of them is that it really makes you think. I don’t mean tactical decision-making like a RTS game, although ...
Hush now. Lock your doors and barricade your windows. We’ve managed to acquire some classified information on the happenings in Crackdown 3 from a totally anonymous source. It’s pretty sensitive stuff, so we hope the Agency didn’t send a welcoming party. Developer Sumo Digital’s Crackdown series has had a ...
