Nintendo always attempts to and successfully brings nostalgia to gamers who grew up playing the Smash Bros franchise.

Rain, high speed, stunning visuals and super fast cars. What more could a car enthusiast want? This year marks the 10th anniversary to the first Forza game. To mark this great milestone the developers over at Turn 10 Studios have created this phenomenal addition to the franchise: Forza Motorsport 6. In my opinion this is the first iteration in the franchise that truly feels...

This game brings us to the forefront of the Revolutionary War as Desmond Miles lives through the life of Connors, a newly added Assassin who fights for revenge on the Templars, outlining the never ending struggle between the Assassins...
Frantically jumping from seat to seat, the vertigo setting in, I panic as I make my way up the train. Everything inside the train begins tumble out the back into the valley below as the train inches closer to tumbling off with Drake inside of it. His leaps become more sporadic and desperate as the realization of the dire...
Many flocked to their local Gamestop or Walmart on November 5, in search of one thing, the next Call of Duty game. Call of Duty: Ghosts was recently released on the Xbox 360, PS3, Wii and all PC computers and the game has sold briskly in this short period of time.  Infinity Ward solely developed the latest in the...
