Tiny Tina's Revolution Side-Quest Is Borderlands Writing At Its Best
28.3.2022
Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands revitalizes Borderlands, thanks to a fantasy-inspired respray and an increased focus on melee attacks. A quieter but perhaps no less significant change is how the loot-shooter handles side-quests. For me, this clicked in an early optional mission called “Goblins Tired...
Call of Duty: Warzone Can’t Get More Maps Because Install Size Is ‘F**king Crazy’

25.3.2022
It only took one Speilberg exit and one decade of development hell, but a show based on Halo is finally here. I can’t believe I’m typing this: It’s actually good. Surprisingly so, though it’s not absent any cause for concern.Read more
Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands Reviews Say D&D Trappings Don’t Change The Borderlands Core
24.3.2022
Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands takes Gearbox’s loot shooter series out for a Dungeons & Dragons-inspired spin. Does it work? Critics are split. The consensus appears to be that, for better and for worse, it’s more Borderlands. Shocking, I know! But it sounds like there are also enough new tricks...

Destiny 2's New Glaives Are Perfect And I Love Them
12.3.2022
I wasn’t sold on the idea of Bungie adding glaives to Destiny 2. Something about the initial pitch seemed out of place in a game like Destiny 2. But now, after playing many, many hours of Witch Queen, I’m happy to report that past Zack was an idiot. Glaives are awesome. Read more
Tips For Playing Battlefield 2042
11.3.2022
One of the strangest things about the launch of Battlefield 2042 is that, for all that it tried to do differently and in some cases even succeeded, it was rounded on and devoured by critics so wholly that if you’d never played the game you’d be forgiven for assuming that it didn’t even boot up.Read...

The Witch Queen Is The Best Campaign Destiny's Ever Had
27.2.2022
I have never, since Destiny launched back in 2014, been able to categorically recommend it to anyone. Praise always came with caveats.
