Dragonkin The Banished: How the Montescail City System Works

Gary Smith

A new trailer for Dragonkin: The Banished was released today, and this one focuses on Montescail — the city that serves as your home base throughout the game. It's worth a closer look because it's not just a fast travel menu with an NPC or two. Montescail starts at level one and scales all the way to 50. As you play, you earn improvement points to spend on passive bonuses or upgrading specific shops. What makes this more than a stat screen is that the city visually changes as it grows; buildings…

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 delay, however, was expected considering the amount of resources Bungie has been pouring into Marathon. That game will release on…

Chronos: Before The Ashes Review

Gary Smith

In 2016, Gunfire Games released the RPG Chronos, which a lot of folks compared to titles like Dark Souls and The Legend of Zelda. While the game was generally well received, it had an extremely limited audience because it was a VR game on PC promoted by Oculus. So you had to VR to play it. Now the game has been overhauled and the VR removed, and this new version dubbed Chronos: Before The Ashes is now available on PC, PS4, Xbox One, Switch and Stadia.

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…
