Announced since 2019, and delayed from an originally intended summer launch last year, Namco’s 17th installment in the long running Tales series, Tales of Arise, certainly has us intrigued.

Legrand Legacy: Tale of the Fatebounds Review
Legrand Legacy: Tale of the Fatebounds is an interesting, and relatively cheap indie RPG that can be purchased on the Nintendo e-shop (and Xbox Live, and PS Store). What makes Legrand Legacy unique is that it is essentially a Japanese Role-Playing Game developed by a team of 27 western developers (Semisoft). During its two-year development…

Halo 5: Guardians (Xbox One) Review
A spouse (343 Industries) tries incredibly hard to please their partner (gamers and critics) by preparing their favorite dish (Halo), a dish that the spouse’s parent (Bungie) has served them for as long as they could recall in perfect tasting fashion.

Assassin’s Creed: Valhalla Review
Assassin’s Creed: Valhalla, is the 12th major chapter and the latest release in the long running Assassin’s Creed series. The game is a refinement of Ubisoft’s AnvilNext 2.0 engine, and a wonderful take on the ‘Viking’ time period. For Starters, I am not a huge fan of the Assassin’s Creed series as a whole. I…

Reading through Metro 2033, I could imagine the chilly temperatures of Russia’s vast,…
