Preview by Matt S. I had the privilege to recently get some good hands-on time with SEGA’s upcoming Judgement (Judge Eyes in Japan). As I usually do, I went into this pretty vague – I try and keep myself clear of news about a game before I play it, so…
Read MoreVideo by Matt S. Sekiro comes out in about a month, and I’ve finally had some hands-on time with it! In this video I show you a couple of bosses that I fight along the way, and share some thoughts about how FromSoftware’s latest compares to some of its peers,…
Read MorePreview by Trent P. The original The Division was an “and one more thing”; we all found out about it via a trailer tacked onto the very end of an E3 presentation by Ubisoft. For anyone who remembers watching it, you’ll also remember that it was a particularly impressive opening…
