We have no idea what's going on with the Spike VGX this year or even if there will be one. The annual celebrity-fueled, ad-hungry video games event was consistently chock full of controversy and disdain from the gamer community which is why last year host and Highly recommended Web-site producer Geoff Keighley helped re-brand the Spike Video Game Awards into the Spike VGX. It was a ratings success but still begged the question of whether it should contin

An example of that is the lack of restrictions on climbing. Link is able to scale anything, with only his stamina bar slowing him down. It was an interesting addition to the game as climbing hasn't always been a big feature in previous Zelda instalments, but it is a welcome cha

In the early games, you had to look for things like window frames and ledges to grab. Assassin's Creed Origins, however, lets you hold onto pretty much anything. So, you can scale any structure in the game. And as the title is set in Ancient Egypt, that means you can climb several historical landmarks, including the Pyramid of G

Kingdom Come: Deliverance is an open-world RPG __ that __ was developed by Warhorse Studios released for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and the PC. It is set in the medieval Kingdom of Bohemia which was an Imperial State of the Holy Roman Emp

Unless Ubisoft was trying to reignite the feeling of rage we all felt while playing Assassin's Creed Unity with this trailer, it's safe to say that they have sorely missed the mark. The entire trailer doesn’t even provide a worthy description of what the game actually is going to be, which is worrisome for an "announcement" trailer. The AC franchise has been inconsistent for the last couple of years and this mobile addition just screams stay away. All the viewer is provided with throughout this jaunt down a dark tunnel is that you will be able to change your outfit within the game and continue the AC trademark of jumping off roof tops into hay bails down below.

Broken Sword: Shadow of the Templars isn’t a historical game in the sense that it transports the players back in time - although, the game was made in 1996 so it could be considered a modern-day historical piece. It is, however, a point-and-click adventure game that gives players a lot of historical insight into the Knights Temp

Assassin's Creed has been all over the map lately between the quality of its games and the way the marketing team is choosing to present them to us. Unfortunately for the newest installment to the on-going and seemingly endless series, Ubisoft doesn’t make much of an effort to sell it.

Ryse: Son of Rome was originally an __ Xbox One exclusive that was released in 2013, it was later released in 2014 for the PC. It was developed by Crytek the same developers that created the Crysis series and just like that series Ryse has great visuals and fantastic production val

The popularity of CD Projekt Red's The Witcher series has exploded since the release of The Witcher 3 ; unsurprising, perhaps, considering all that the game has to offer. That's not to say that the series wasn't already popular before that though, with its first two entries having sold millions of copies between t

Who Will Be There: Panelists include actors Doug Cockle (Geralt of Rivia, The Witcher franchise), Dark Horse Comics author Paul Tobin (The Witcher House of Glass), Nick McWhorter, CD PROJEKT RED's game developers Damien Monnier and Lukasz Wnek ( The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt ), and Rafal J

With the nominations coming before the year's end, we're faced with the usual issue of not all of 2014's titles being included (like Ubisoft's The Crew ) but at least they got in the most recent two-three weeks which includes the largest batch of high profile releases. The deadline for eligible entrants was games released by November 25th. On the Canadian Videogame Awards front, the date of nomination eligibility was much earlier and meant that some of the year's biggest titles ( Assassin's Creed Unity, Dragon Age: Inquisition, Far Cry 4, etc. ) didn't make the

What To Expect: The presentation will focus mostly on the single player campaign for Battlefield: Hardline - an episodic story that puts players in the shoes of beat cop Nick Mendoza and takes them from the grit of LA to the glam of Mi

In a ranking of the best climbers in all media, Spider-Man would land somewhere near the top. After all, he has the movement skills of a spider. And his talents are perfectly replicated in the 2018 Marvel's Spider-M
