With the upcoming release of The Division 2, many people are looking back and trying to remember what happened to its predecessor. Don’t we all remember having a ton of fun running around an open-world console shooter, grabbing loot and taking down bad guys? The concept was neat, the graphics and animations were smooth and sufficient for its time, and the actual feel of the game was great. So, what happened? End game happened. While The Division was certainly ...

Insurgency: Sandstorm is the sequel to the indie hit Insurgency which was published by New World Interactive in 2014.

Released last December by developer The Bearded Ladies Consulting and publisher Funcom, Mutant Year Zero: Road to Eden is a turn-based tactical RPG that utilizes elements of real-time stealth and an intriguing storyline to bring an experience that can only be described as a next-level XCOM.

Can social gaming actually improve your life? This is an age-old dilemma. As long as we have had video games, there have been concerns and often-unsubstantiated claims regarding the mental health impact that they have on players. Proponents of these statements often point to outdated and early-stage studies that suggest people who sit alone in a dark room playing video games alone for several hours each day are more prone to isolation, depression and even ...

While not slated to be released until January 25th, 2019, the latest from developer Limbic Entertainment and publisher Kalypso, Tropico 6 is already available via Beta Access for pre-purchases. As someone who has a rather complicated relationship with the Tropico franchise, I approached the Tropico 6 Beta Access with cautious optimism.

Recent studies show that up to 79% of consumers do most of their shopping and spending online. This is up a huge margin from 22% just 10 short years ago. With this clear and tectonic shift towards an online market, it has never been more important for business owners to ensure that they are projecting a strong internet presence. For many traditional businesses who have, until now, operated entirely in brick-and-mortar storefronts, this means delving into a new ...

In the world of gaming, long before the console or the PC, ages before professional sports, board games or even electricity, casinos (known then as gambling houses) reigned supreme. As far back as 1638, gambling houses have offered an exhilarating and challenging experience for those with a little extra money to burn.
