Sony infamously refused to participate in cross-platform play with the extremely popular racing/sports title, Rocket League . With Rocket League coming to the Nintendo Switch later in 2017, fans are excited to play with gamers on multiple consoles. However, PlayStation has stated that they will not be taking part, stating that Sony wants to maintain control of its online ecosys

League of Legends is easily the most popular video game. Thousands of fans and players alike are ready to fill eSport stadiums just to watch their favorite players go head to head. They watch them on giant screens compete for million dollar prizes and complete bragging rights. It’s a sport on its own at this point, and competitively, it’s an absolutely exciting thing to wa

During certain missions, you are prompted to cover your face with a bandana, which is typical of Westerns. It looks cool. This is to keep your identity hidden, right? Well despite this, somehow you always get fined with a bounty. It doesn’t make any sense. I tried wearing masks too and that doesn’t do anything either. It feels like Rockstar put them in as an obligation to the genre. They didn’t want to implement it as a real disguise. It might have broken the game otherwise, or someth

Avarice’s Blade is an old but outdated item in League of Legends . When it existed, Riot was known to remove hidden power via gold gains. Previous patches were unable to change much about Avarice Blade and already it was once the only item that lost something if one were to upgrade

Zhonya’s Hourglass seems to be agreed on as the best item League of Legends seems to offer. With a cooldown of 120 seconds, its unique abilities allow for this item to make up for it. With this item equipped you can burst through powerful Champions like Fizz or Di

The game gives you two options: warn the reverend so that he can move on alive and well, or kill him for a pile of cash. It’s as simple as walking up to the reverend (who will greet John in a cloyingly friendly manner), and use whatever facet of John’s arsenal to put the reverend down in the street like a dog. Even though it’s the Wild West, popping a reverend was —and still is— considered a bit shocking, to put it ligh

Red Dead Redemption 2 is a long game and there’s a lot to do in it. The main campaign alone, along with a good number of Stranger missions, took us just under fifty hours to complete, which is exponentially longer than its predecessor. That’s barely even participating in the various other activities, such as hunting, gambling, bounty hunting and more. The Stranger missions are one of the bigger draws as they are once again whacky, over-the-top scenarios that fill out the world. Arthur may not have the sarcastic, comical timing of John Marston, but he still lends to each situation with his confusion. Sadly, I never saw a damsel tied up on a railroad track that needed saving. Speaking of Stranger missions, you’re also able to make choices that may affect scenes in the main story. For example, I met one woman earlier in the campaign and she appeared as a prostitute later on, which lead to a bounty immediately put on my head. Another was a surprisingly lengthy scene with a nun who I randomly bumped into once, and Arthur opened up to her. Your choices through the campaign do hold some weight as they can affect where specific people end up in the future and might even expand upon Arthur’s character more.

That’s how the law works, right? You just pay some money for it to go away? Well, that’s how it works in regards to bounties in Red Dead Redemption II . All except for story bounties like Blackwater. It’s a little more than ridicul

The stats of the Ohmwrecker are pretty bad. Essentially every other Tank-like item can already reset turret agro and dive. That said, it’s an expensive item and isn’t profitable to use anyway. It’s practically useless given how you can tank turrets without even needing to buy the Ohmwrecker in the first pl

That said, much of its uselessness comes from not being able to build it into anything later on in the game. Most Champions would only use it in the beginning minutes of the game, only to sell it for more gold later

Unfortunately, one key component to Red Dead Redemption 2 I have difficulty getting into is the controls. The controls are similar to the typical Rockstar Open world Games vehicles world formula (at least Grand Theft Auto and Red Dead Redemption), with a thousand different actions being assigned to a handful of buttons. This is a mechanical marvel with all the different systems at play, from gunplay, horseback riding, hand-to-hand combat, character interactions and so forth. Controlling Arthur feels loose and stiff at the same time, something I can never put my finger on, and I have a difficult time determining if it’s a good or bad thing. Sometimes it can be frustrating, while other times it can lend to the charm of the game. The gunplay is still top notch, though, with each of the old rifles, pistols and shotguns feeling authentic and enjoyable to fire, especially with the Dead Eye skill. There are a ton of different weapons to obtain, all of which are need to be properly maintained, which somewhat ties into the survival aspect of the game, such as maintaining food intake for both you and your horse.
