Hands On Mega Man 11 Brings the Blue Bomber Bang Up to Date on PS4
You rock, man
Capcom should probably send a thank you letter to Keiji Inafune before the year’s out. While it could be argued that the Japanese publisher has been laying the foundations for a new Mega Man with various re-releases and compilation packs, it doesn’t take a cynic to suggest that Mighty No. 9’s enormous Kickstarter success may have...
Review Destiny 2: Forsaken (PS4)
The cycle repeats
It's hard to shake the feeling that we've been here before with Destiny 2: Forsaken.

"Development is a journey"
While there seems to be a fair amount of positive chatter surrounding Call of Duty: Black Ops 4, the lack of a single player campaign remains a point of contention for some.

Easy, Tiger
You can infer a lot from The Golf Club 2019 Featuring PGA Tour’s title.
