After that, fans of the franchise got a new entry every year from 2009 to 2015 with the release of Assassin’s Creed Syndicate. With a technically flawed release in 2014 with Unity, many fans began to feel burned out on the series. Thus, 2016 came and went without any major Assassin’s … Continue reading Assassin’s Creed Origins Review

Well, I’ve had yet another ordeal getting to this point with Soul Sacrifice. My Gamestop claimed their shipment hadn’t come in, so I didn’t pick up the game on the release date. I went back two days later, and the guy working said it had come in prior to the release date because he was there when it came in. I can already hear Gary … Continue reading Soul Sacrifice Review
