“Talent borrows, genius steals” is a quote most often attributed to famous wit Oscar Wilde, although he’s had so many quotes attributed to him that it’s hard to know which ones he actually said. His point was that if you’re smart, you’ll incorporate ideas from other sources into your work, but if you’re really clever,

The Call of Duty series presents an interesting paradox. To an outside observer, the franchise seems merely to tick along, with no particular instalment excelling or causing too much ire. On the other hand, the fanbase is very vocal and very opinionated (as, perhaps, one should expect from any fanbase), with each subsequent Call of

Madden NFL 22 is the latest offering from the long-time running franchise. John Madden was born in 1936 and was originally a Coach and later in his career, a well-known sportscaster. Given that he won a title with the Oakland Raiders as head coach and also the number of years he spent commentating, it’s only

There are so many games that allow you to play the role of the hero, it’s a wonder more don’t take the villainous approach. Sure, there are games like Prototype, inFAMOUS, and Overlord that cast you as comically overpowered supervillains, but there’s a real dearth of titles giving you the true evil supervillain experience.

Genuinely enhanced version with the original essence. Video games are being remastered to the point of almost making us desensitized. One can hardly be surprised with one of the oldies getting an enhancement, a remake, or reboot. A few of such titles have made our hearts skip a beat, but many failed to justify the

Fear. Darkness. Thrill. The unknown. Bloody adventure. These might be the best words to describe this indie survival deep space game. The Persistence will challenge you to explore, fight the ominous clone printed creatures while trying to bring the ship back to the Earth. As a clone of security officer Zimri Elder and the last

Relive the Cold War while building your own superpower. Does the mysterious yet powerful Soviet Union fascinate you? Do you wish you could be a part of it and experience life during the Cold War? This game offers you not just to be a part of that world, but also to build it. In this

It’s been a little over two months since Animal Crossing: New Horizons graced us with its long-awaited presence and boy, what a crazy couple of months it has been. Like most people I know, I’ve been playing it every day since it came out. Everyone knew that it would be a hit when it eventually

A “fresh breeze” in the battle royale genre With Scavengers Studios, a relatively new development team to the gaming industry, with a small number of members in it (eighteen members) releasing Darwin Project to the PlayStation 4, it’s a very good opportunity to have a talk about it, as it is a battle royale type of game but

A success on top of an OG big hit It’s back and greater than ever, a remake that was already a huge success back in the day and an already good story that got expanded, to meet the demands of the modern era for playable content. The guys at CAPCOM really gave their best to

Once upon a time, the humble 3D platformer was the go-to game of choice for any developer wishing to make a movie tie-in game but not possessing the resources or time to make that game more unique. Everything from Toy Story to Wall-E to Madagascar got the 3D platformer treatment, and while they were all

For some, Call of Duty is in the midst of an identity crisis. 2017’s Call of Duty: WWII returned the series to its early-2000s roots but couldn’t quite manage to capture the magic momentum of the franchise at its best. In 2018, Treyarch took its turn with Black Ops 4, a game that garnered its
