Posted on November 27, 2015 by Fionna Schweit

Microsoft has already made it extremely clear that in Windows 10 you can play your Xbox games. It now seems Sony will follow suit with the PS4. I myself have experienced the majesty of game streaming while sitting at my on computer. Sony, while late to the party, it seems is finally joining in.

This is particularly awkward after at least on competitor announced last week they would be

Kenny’s Fallout 4 Log – Day 14

Posted on November 25, 2015 by Kenny Keelan

The Obsession Sets In November 25th, 2015 It’s starting to happen and I can slowly feel it: even though I know there’s better games out there, much less in my PlayStation 4 collection, alone, I find myself coming back to Fallout 4 every single time. There are days where, in spite of the fact that there is an autosave and dedicated saving features, I simply refuse to turn the game off. These are all signs that this game has its hooks in me, hardcore: kind of like McDonald’s, you know there’s better food out there and you’d enjoy it much, much

Star Wars Battlefront’s First DLC will add new map and game mode

Posted on November 25, 2015 by Fionna Schweit

One of the major complaints about the newest Star Wars game is that it just doesn’t feel like battlefront one and two did. It doesn’t have the scale. There is no galaxy map to conquer, and even the large walker assault mode feels empty at times. It seems EA is looking to rememdy this with the Battle of Jaku DLC. In a recent blog post  they have announced that the newst mode, which is to be called turning point, will have massive 20 on 20 action.  The game mode will have Rebel forces pushing hard to capture a series of increasingly difficult checkpoints

I suggest you just watch the video.

Posted on November 24, 2015 by Rae Michelle Richards

All of our American editors are enjoying their time with family over the holiday weekends. As countless people are traveling across the continent to see family members and love ones that they may not have shared physical space together in many months.
