Every year Activision sets aside a large portion of its staff to release a new game, one that lacks originality but is made up by including re-skinned weapons and assets. Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare is no exception to this trend. Originally promising intense new combat via exoskeleton battle suits and a compelling story with Kevin Spacey, this game fails to exit...
I have to say I had low hopes for Insomniac Games' newest title, Sunset Overdrive. Insomniac Games has a track record of making either really good or really bad games, among the better titles include Ratchet & Clank & The Resistance series.

For those of you unfamiliar with the franchise, Borderlands is a loot-based FPS action RPG. In English, Borderlands is a first person shooter centered around finding bigger,...
The Forza series has always been a standout when it comes to first party games on Microsoft's systems. The game combines aspects of circuit racing with that of open world racing. Honestly, I believe this game is the first notable console exclusive for the Xbox One, with most of  the first party games so far being lackluster efforts. The game itself, released...
