Since even before its launch, Star Wars Battlefront II was already divisive. There were a lot of problems with the original Star Wars Battlefront when it launched in 2015, and developer DICE has been listening to the fans, tweaking and learning what players want. While Battlefront II does fix a lot of the mistakes from the original title, it does make some completely new ones that overshadow the leaps and bounds that they’ve made in the last two years.

Mario has been the face of Nintendo in one form or another for almost 40 years. His debut as "jump man" in Donkey Kong signaled a new era for video gaming, and when Nintendo moved from the arcades to the living room, it fell on the jumping plumber to carry the vanguard during the dawn of consoles. Now, almost four decades later, Nintendo and Mario are both still going strong, Nintendo with the hot new Switch, and Mario with his…  Read More

About 10 hours into playing The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim on the Nintendo Switch, I suddenly stopped -- my Dragonborn standing on the side of a mountain -- and I took a moment to let it sink in that I was playing Skyrim, one of the greatest games ever made, while in the bathroom.

It has become increasingly evident that Warner Bros. and DC Comics don't understand their own characters. After presenting a decidedly darker take on Superman with Man of Steel, director and creative force Zack Snyder showed his hand with Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, and removed all doubt that he just isn't the right person to be leading DC Comics' foray into a film universe. Suicide Squad, while strangely fun, was another misstep, and after a stellar showing with this summer's…  Read More

In late spring, a big deal was made that this year's Call of Duty was going back to "boots on the ground." After almost six years of futuristic combat, with science-fiction weapons, and exo-suits, and players being able to nearly fly across game maps, developer Sledgehammer Games decided to take the series back to its roots, back to where it all began, and Call of Duty: WWII is the end result of that endeavor. The decision was welcomed in many gaming…  Read More
