I loved Red Dead Redemption 2, and was looking forward to the online mode to add further value to my purchase. I had only played a little bit of Grand Theft Auto Online during the previous summer, as I preferred to spend my time in the story mode. I knew that Online was a whale trap, what with how much money the mode had made and how the infusion of cash I had earned from buying RDR 2 on the PSN changed the experience I’d had.

Insomniac Games is a reliable staple of the gaming world, especially for Playstation fans like myself. Picking up one of their games, more often than not, will result in a good time. The less said about Fuse, the better. At the start of all that was Spyro The Dragon, one of the mascots for the original Playstation, and one of the few early 3D platform games to really hold up over time. Spyro’s unique move set as a tiny purple dragon made for some delightful “collectathons”, and the levels he went through oozed with whimsy.

Have you ever played Fallout 4 and thought: “Gee, I wish I could play this online!”

Red Dead Redemption is something of an anomaly within the gaming industry.

Red Dead Redemption II thoughts are next week. It’s really long. In the absence of any Halloween content, let’s talk about another thing that lets you pretend to be cooler than you actually are: Dungeons and Dragons.

Dark Souls has staked a truly impressive claim on the niche subculture of video games since its release in 2012. Games with a high difficulty and some sort of tangible punishment for failure beyond wasted time gets labelled a clone of it.

Can I offer you some more Yakuza in these trying times?

After Telltale’s sudden implosion, the biggest developer left in the genre of episodic adventure games is Dontnod, creators of the time-travel sim Life is Strange. One social vampire sim later, they’ve been teasing a return to their seminal franchise, starting with the excellent The Awesome Adventures of Captain Spirit demo. In that, players were invited to experience the Saturday of a young boy named Chris as he uses his imagination to escape his alcoholic dad in a small house loaded with Easter eggs and sad details about the story of their family

On Friday, Telltale Games, developer and publisher of multiple episodic adventure games, announced a majority studio closure. Over 250 people have lost their jobs, their future games cancelled, including a sequel to their acclaimed Wolf Among Us and a game based on Netflix’s Stranger Things. On top of that, their current projects are in flux, namely the final season of The Walking Dead and a Netflix port of Minecraft: Story Mode.

The Dragon Quest series shares a lot of similarities with Monster Hunter. It's popular in Japan. Western players took a much longer road to figuring out why they like it. It sticks to the formula and it has specific idiosyncrasies. Turn-based combat, saving in churches, slimes, stupid hair, British accents and music brought to you by a war crime denialist. It’s all there.

Spider-Man has always been a great fit for video games.

In the world of gaming, no idea is truly original. With that in mind, the insistently unoriginal Yakuza series has proven to be a reliable staple of the gaming industry, and none of that has changed for its PS4 remake of the second game, Yakuza 2.

It’s been an awfully bumpy road for Telltale Games since its legendary first season of The Walking Dead. Since we said goodbye to Lee Everett, it has put out games like Tales From The Borderlands and The Wolf Among Us that prove that the studio can do more than just make us sad. On the other hand, with titles like Minecraft and Guardians of The Galaxy, they’re also capable of being decidedly subpar.

Fox News personality Sean Hannity has earned a reputation as the captain of the Trump cheerleading squad. He usually defaults to spouting bizarro Clinton-Mueller conspiracy theories, often revolving around her emails and the #DeepState.

On April 11, 2018, Speaker of the House of Representatives Paul Ryan, R-Wis., announced his retirement. After a stint as Mitt Romney’s running mate, Ryan replaced John Boehner, R-Ohio, as speaker in 2015 after the latter got forced out for making too much nice with President Obama.

Few games influenced my decision to buy a PS4 quite like Ni No Kuni: Wrath of The White Witch. Released in 2013 exclusively for the PS3, the collaboration between Studio Ghibli and Level-5 boasted a lush art style, an intriguing narrative and fun-looking combat. Unfortunately, I was stranded in the Xbox 360 ghetto as a high-schooler, left only to stare forlornly through the glass at it forever. Now, I have the chance to finally pick up and play the raw anime power I missed so long ago with it’s sequel.

I don’t know about you, but I don’t really like Facebook. The site’s design is poor, the size of the posts is inefficient on browser, the mobile app autoplays any video at what seems like maximum volume and the content that winds up at my door is lame in quality compared to what I’d get on Twitter.

In the wake of the shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, lawmakers in league with the National Rifle Association’s maximalist position on gun ownership have thrown up all the usual defenses to keep the status quo in effect. Mental health is an oldie but goodie, as well as the fact that the teachers lacked guns (which the gun industry will happily sell to them with the money they don’t have). The Russia investigation got blamed by Trump for apparently preventing the unrelated Miami office from investigating the shooter, in a particularly desperate little tweet. Like the one he put out this past Tuesday.

So, here we are again, picking through the rubble of another school shooting, one that took 17 lives at the hands of a 19-year-old so pathetic, I’m not even going to name him. We’re familiar with how the cycle goes.

So about that Rob Porter story. Recently, we found out that Rob Porter, an alleged wife beater, was kept on the job and in control of highly sensitive information, and thus open to blackmail, after, Chief of Staff John Kelly became aware of the allegations.That is on top of the fact that Jared Kushner hasn’t gotten his full security clearance yet for reasons we don’t know, perhaps for his involvement in the ongoing Russia debacle, while he’s had access to Trump’s daily briefing, one of the most tightly classified documents in the building. Oh, and the Nunes Memo Saga, where some crank abuses his power on the House Intelligence Committee to craft the most underwhelming bombshell in decades.
