Destiny 2: Shadow and Order Delayed to June 9, 2026 — Bungie Promises Expanded Content

Gary Smith

Bungie has officially announced that Destiny 2: Shadow and Order, the game's next Major Update, has been delayed from its original March 3rd release date to June 9, 2026. The news comes at a difficult time for the game, as Destiny 2 continues to struggle with historically low player populations following the launch of Edge of Fate and the ongoing Renegades season. The delay, however, was expected considering the amount of resources Bungie has been pouring into Marathon. That game will release on…

Crysis Remastered Review

Gary Smith

In 2007, I was doing most of my gaming on the Nintendo Wii, the original Xbox, and a low-end PC (mostly playing Black Hawk Down multiplayer). My brother built a gaming PC and it did run Crysis, although it didn't run it on the highest setting (one below that). I played a little bit of Crysis on that PC when the game came out and it was stunning. It looked amazing and the gameplay was fun. In many ways, it was indeed a jaw-dropping experience. Fast forward to 2020, and Crysis has been remastered…

MAG Deserves Rebirth on PS5

PatriotPaine

It's hard to believe, but it has been over 10 years since MAG was released on PS3 and now we're inching ever closer to the release of PS5 (even if we still don't know that date yet). It was, in the long run, a short-lived game that released in January 2010. As an online only title with no single player to speak of, the servers for MAG went offline on January 28, 2014 just a couple of months after the launch of PS4. Sadly, the game has been dead longer than it had a chance to be played. I got a…

Borderlands 3 Review

Gary Smith

It’s been about three weeks since Borderlands 3 released, and thus far I’ve put in around 54 hours into the game on one character. Within the first week, I had completed the main campaign twice; once on normal and once again on True Vault Hunter Mode. The current inability to skip cutscenes means I’m in no rush to play through it again to experience the other three characters (I’ve played FL4K mostly, with a little bit of Zane as a second character). I can play through Mayhem 3 solo with little…

Destiny 2 Forsaken Review

Gary Smith

It has been over one and a half months since Destiny 2's first big expansion, Forsaken, released. I don't even want to guess about how much time I've put into the game during this time, but suffice to say it has been A LOT. I've gotten two of my characters to 600 (and my third is very close), I've completed the raid a couple of times, and I've solo'd the Shattered Throne dungeon. I've seen all that Forsaken has to offer, including the first post-Forsaken in-game event, Festival of the Lost. It's…

Destiny 2 Review

Gary Smith1 Comment

Destiny 2 has been out for over a month, and I feel like it's the time for me to finally get this full review out even if it is "late" (although the PC version doesn't release for another week). I came into Destiny 2 as a hardcore, dedicated Destiny player with over 2,500 hours logged in the first game. It's because of my love of the game, or franchise, that this review will be the longest one we have ever published and will tackle the game from different perspectives and dive deep into…

Sniper Ghost Warrior 3 Review

Gary Smith4 Comments

CI Games released their first Sniper Ghost Warrior game back in 2010 and followed it up with a sequel in 2013. I didn't play the first one, but I did the second one. It wasn't particularly good. Now some four years later, and after a few delays, CI Games has released the third entry into the Sniper Ghost Warrior franchise and the good news is that it's certainly better than its predecessor. I applaud CI Games for taking a step and making an effort to make this a "full AAA production." You always…

Fallout 4 Review

It’s been a long time in coming… too long… but at last a new Fallout game is upon us and it’s very good. The good news is: A review like this is a mere formality since many of us have already broken the 100 hour figure on this. What more need be said, right?

Gaming Accessories: FPS Freek Galaxy Review

Gary Smith

A few years ago I wrote a little piece about FPS Freek Havoc and Infinity thumbstick grips for PS3 and I really liked them. But, like the PS3 itself, they've been pushed aside (well actually one of the Havoc's broke sometime early last year and that was my fault). Out of the box, the Dualshock 4 is an all around better controller than the Dualshock 3 and that includes the thumbsticks. I like the thumbsticks on the DS4 as they are, but like a lot of gamers I've had to replace a controller due to…

Destiny – The Taken King Review

Gary Smith

A little over a year ago I posted my review of vanilla Destiny, which I gave a superb 4.5 star rating. That review encompassed the game from launch to three weeks after launch with a little over 85 hours invested in it and having done everything but the raid. Now here we are a month and a half removed from the release of Destiny’s first major expansion, The Taken King, and it is time to review it all over again.

Not An Official Review: Dying Light

Gary Smith1 Comment

I've had Dying Light since release when I received a digital code to review the game. That was a few weeks ago. I am progressing extremely slowly, but at this point I've seen enough of the game to write the review. However it comes with the caveat that I will not be assigning a score to the game, for two reasons: I haven't completed the campaign or tried the multiplayer, and my problem with the game that has slowed my progression probably isn't an issue for most gamers. I play a lot of video…

Grand Theft Auto V (PS4) Review

Gary Smith1 Comment

Rockstar wowed the majority of us a year ago when they released Grand Theft Auto V on PS3 and Xbox 360. Even on old hardware, it was an excellent looking game that still looks better than some games released on the new systems. Now that Rockstar has released the game for PS4 and Xbox One, it looks even better. For starters, there's increased detail for everything. Textures are better, overall image quality is greatly improved thanks to anti-aliasing. There's greater draw distance, and even…

Destiny Review

It’s been three weeks since Destiny released, and after over 85 hours of gameplay, I’m finally ready to deliver my verdict on the game as it stands now. This review is based on a purchased digital copy for PS4 with over 85 hours logged in my main character (I also have two other low level characters going). As of this writing, I’m level 28 with a maxed out Gunslinger well on my way to finally maxing out Bladedancer while grinding to level 29. I’ve done everything the game has to offer at the…

Blue Estate The Game

Blue Estate Review

Gary Smith

If you don't know what Blue Estate is (and I didn't), it's a comic book by Viktor Kalvachev. This is a digital only game, based on the comic, by developers HeSaw (from what I can gather, the first game from the Paris based developing studio). It's unlike anything currently available on PS4. That's a good thing for this game, because it has a certain market all to its self. That market is the on-rails shooter market. Popular in arcades, the on-rails “light gun” shooter genre saw a bit of a…

THE MONKEY

The time has finally arrived, the first big Next Gen exclusive has launched.  While Titanfall certainly had a whirlwind of hype pushing it forward the real question would be whether or not it was worth your time.  Some seemed unsure of the lack of a single player campaign in which the game launched with.  It should come as no surprise though that the guys who really helped breath life into the First Person Shooter for the mainstream would put the focus primarily into an online multiplayer…

Battlefield 4 Review

Eric W.3 Comments

EA DICE returns after two years following the release of the very successful Battlefield 3 with this inevitable sequel. I am happy to report that this game is not a quickie BF3 retread with a slicker coat of varnish on it.  They did listen to the fans feedback over the course of the last two years, as the return of Commander Mode easily indicates along with larger levels and more expansiveness in general. The game is not a revolution by any means, but it certainly is a clear evolution across the…

Hello all, and welcome again to my glorified walk through the world of gaming, The Backlog. Today we'll venture back to the PlayStation Vita and check out Killzone: Mercenary. The Killzone series is one of my favorites, so I was looking forward to getting my hands on this as soon as I found out about the title, and especially since I missed out on Killzone: Liberation as I did not have a PSP.

Call of Juarez Gunslinger Review

It’s a funny thing when a franchise can have three retail games available, the last of which is widely considered to be quite bad, and then have a fourth game be reduced down to a cheap digital only title. Now you may be asking “well what’s funny about that?” and the funny thing is the $15 downloadable title with almost no promotion whatsoever is easily the best game in the franchise. And it’s not even close. After the horrible decision to take Call of Juarez to the present day with “The…

Metro Last Light Review

Eric W.

In a post apocalyptic not too distant future a year after the events of the first game, protagonist Artyom returns to face the consequences and fallout of the events of that game and it's a more refined but equally as intense, dark, and immersive experience as Metro 2033 ever was. For some reason there were concerns that this game was going to be “dumbed down for the Call of Duty crowd” and I am happy to report that is not the case. If you loved the first game you will absolutely love this and…

Dead Island Riptide Review

Despite watching and enjoying gameplay videos, I never actually got around to the first Dead Island games. It ended up being one of those games on a long list of titles that I mean to get and play but don’t for whatever reason. Now there’s Dead Island: Riptide and it seems like its somewhere in between sequel and expansion. The game begins where the first one left off; the good news here is that if you’re like me and didn’t play the original, you’re not really going to be loss. If you played the…
