One Of The Best Cowboy Games Ever Made Is Now Free On Steam
9.12.2021
Don’t get me wrong, Red Dead Redemption II and Gun are fun and all. I certainly enjoyed my time with them, and I even still play Red Dead Online. But Call of Jaurez: Gunslinger, perhaps a better cowboy game than both of them (and most others), is now free on Steam for a limited time. And if...

9.12.2021
Halo Infinite, out in its entirety this week for Xbox and PC, has officially flooded the tubes. Surely you’ve heard of friends playing it. They may have sung its praises as a top-flight arena shooter, or a return to form for a dormant series. They may have also lambasted its battle pass as...
Halo Infinite's Campaign Opening Is Awful
9.12.2021
For a game sold on its wide open spaces, player freedom, and great big sticky-up hexagons, Halo Infinite’s opening couple of hours couldn’t be much less representative.

Every Tuesday, the Halo Infinite store refreshes with a new stock of items and armor to help your Spartan stand out in the battlefield.

Halo Infinite's Ranked Multiplayer Is Depressing Right Now
7.12.2021
Ranked is never for the weak at heart, but usually, that’s because you have to contend with a bunch of tryhards just like you. In Halo Infinite, however, I don’t rage at my teammates or my performance nearly as much as I do the actual mode itself.Read more
You Can’t Replay Campaign Missions In Halo Infinite
6.12.2021
One of the joys of Halo is its replayability. Ask any devotee and you’ll get some story about endlessly rerunning “The Library” in Halo: Combat Evolved, or replaying Halo 2’s “Delta Halo” to get out of bounds and explore that uncannily Canada-looking mountain range. Sadly, at least at launch,...
Halo Infinite's Crystal-Clear Visual Design Puts Its Murky Competitors To Shame
6.12.2021
I cannot believe I am praising a video game because I can see it, but hear me out. Somewhere along the line, maybe in the last decade and some change, shooters have become a visual mess. I cannot tell you how many times I’ve had to squint hard in games like Battlefield to try and determine if...
