This version of Microids/Eden Games production looks promising: over 50 real cars with enhanced steering, realistic configurations, campaign mode, new local and online multiplayer options… Maybe, it’s not perfect, however, this game definitely stands out from the crowd.

What do open-world racing games do wrong that Riders Republic does right? They focus on car racing, while Riders Republic allows you to race with a wide variety of unconventional vehicles – even parachutes. Ubisoft’s newest game is an open-world racing game that drops you into a vibrant world where you can immerse yourself in the fun and chaos. Whether you want to snowboard wearing a bunny hat, or you want to get to the top of the leaderboard in a onesie, you can race the courses you want,...

From Software’s ambitious new take on the “Soulsborne” genre has helped make Elden Ring 2022’s most anticipated game. With such a dramatic change from a mostly linear narrative to an open world structure does Elden Ring hold up to any of the previous Souls games?
Escape to an Adventure Time-ish place with OlliOlli World, the third game in the OlliOlli series. Unlike regular skateboarding games, OlliOlli Word takes on a laid-back approach and gives you a vibrant stage where you can kickflip, backslide, grind, and grab all you want. It may not be as challenging as Skater XL, but it’s the best bet if you want to break into the world of skateboarding games – and if you want to play something pleasing to the eyes.
Flying Wild Hog’s latest installation of Shadow Warrior has been on my radar for a while. With the decision of having Shadow Warrior 3 drop the co-op loot based gameplay of Shadow Warrior 2 I was nervous getting into this crazy vibrant world for the third time. Was this departure, from what worked so well with it’s last game, the right call for this franchise or should this ninja have been sent back to the Dojo for some more lessons?
Ah, yes. Another Call of Duty game that’s set in World War II. The eighteenth game (yes, there are that many) in the Call of Duty lineup was teased to be one of the “best” games set in the second world war, but is it, truly? Activision has released several Call of Duty games set in that time period, such as its original game Call of Duty, so it doesn’t come as a shock that they’d take gamers back to World War II. After all, it’s been a long...
Two years ago, I found myself writing about the release of the second season of HBO’s Succession, an up-and-coming drama that had been dazzling viewers and taking home plenty of Emmy’s. Once again, I have the pleasure of getting an early look at the third season of the show, whose popularity has not waned since my last viewing. If anything, you’ll find an even bigger audience was waiting for this season to drop with bated breath after the cliffhanger of a season finale we’d been left with last time....
It took twenty years for Romero Games to release the highly anticipated Empire of Sin, and all we can say is that it was worth the wait. Set against the gin, guns, and glamour of 1920s Chicago, Empire of Sin is the kind of video game that has plenty to offer. Much like Chicago in the 1920s, Empire of Sin is a flawless mix between a tactical shooter and a business simulator. It’s on a genre of its own and it isn’t difficult to see why it has received...
Gearbox Software has returned to its most successful franchise by releasing Borderlands 3. This visually stunning, Max Max-like game offers more than just nostalgia. With a thirty-hour campaign, amusing narratives, and a diverse array of weaponry, Borderlands 3 is easy a step above its predecessors. We were first treated to the post-apocalyptic, “loot and shoot” game back in 2009, and since then, Borderlands has become one of the most popular RPG shooters to ever grace our consoles. In September of 2019, Gearbox Software released the fourth installment, Borderlands 3,...
After a bit of a struggle to find their footing, DC has been having a much better time in the movie playing field as of late. Films like Wonder Woman, Shazam, and Joker have proven that there’s room for superheroes other than Marvel on the big screen, and they don’t all have to act like Batman. The issue then became one of finding identity; since Marvel had such a strong cultural hold on the superhero blockbuster, it was imperative for DC movies to find their own brand of storytelling...
Racing games tend to take themselves seriously these days. With simulators such as Gran Turismo and Project Cars, light is rarely shined on arcade-like racing games like Mario Kart anymore. With Dirt 5 from Codemasters Cheshire, gamers can fully immerse themselves in nostalgic, arcade-style action. Dirt 5 abandons the typical, formal, and realistic simulation and embraces lighthearted gameplay, even starting with a corny joke the moment you press play. Unlike its predecessor, the 2.0, Dirt 5 takes a step back in terms of gameplay. It doesn’t want you to...
With Halloween past us, we’re coming up on that most wonderful time of the year once again, and you know what that means: Christmas movies. Cheesy romcoms, tales of wintertime magic, kids’ movies about setting up insanely complex and sadistic traps to catch two home intruders. Plenty of Christmas cheer to go around! Specifically, there’s always an abundance of movies that center around a celebrity stepping into the boots of Santa Claus for all sorts of wacky adventures. Whether kid-friendly or adult-oriented, these films are a staple of Christmas...
