Anthem Review

Striving to dominate the MMO console-shooter world, EA's newest title, Anthem, has landed.

So here we go, an official Spoiler Alert: At the end of Far Cry 5, a nuclear weapon is detonated over Hope County. This sets in motion a chain of events that lead to New Dawn, set 17 years into the post-apocalyptic life of the same region. A new threat has emerged and taken control of the region, and once again it is up to us to ...

The Division 2 Looks to Build on Success

With the upcoming release of The Division 2, many people are looking back and trying to remember what happened to its predecessor.

While The Division was certainly ...
