Initially, Predator: Hunting Grounds got me excited to jump into the heavy boots of a Predator once again. The Alien vs Predator games and surprise Ghost Recon: Wildlands DLC proves that being or being hunted by a Predator is usually a fun time. With IllFonic behind this asymmetrical multiplayer title, the developers of Friday the 13th: The Game and arena shooter Nexuiz,...
Gears Tactics is a single player top-down turn-based strategy combat game developed by The Coalition and Splash Damage and published by Xbox Game Studios. It’s the latest entry in the Gears of War series and takes place in the same story realm. Gears has carved its identity over the decade...
Sakura Wars is not an RPG, turns out. I guess I shouldn’t have assumed. With Fire Emblem, Persona 5, Trails of Cold Steel, and the other Persona 5, I thought this would be another social sim/JRPG hybrid. But Sakura Wars bucks the trend by being part dating sim, part action-platformer....

Pull on your racing gloves and grab a helmet! Italian developers Milestone have hit the track with MotoGP 20, the latest entry in the motorbike racing series for PS4, Xbox One, PC, Google Stadia, and Nintendo Switch. Will it get your engines going?
It’s odd talking about A Fold Apart given the circumstances. At present, we are a few weeks into COVID-19 shutdown. Friends and family are separated, and only through technology can we maintain any modicum of a relationship. A Fold Apart feels like quite the reflection of the world today. In...
