It’s time to enjoy two of the best co-op games ever made… again. Overcooked! All You Can Eat combines the first and second games together into a “remastered” pack on Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5, but it feels a bit like warming up leftovers. If you’ve never played this series before and have somebody to play it with, disregard any negativity in the coming 900 or so words. They are fantastic fun and you’ll get an awful lot out…

As the year 2020 starts to finish up (thank goodness), we have to wonder: what will happen next year? To keep things more game centric: what will developers/publishers and companies like Nintendo, Xbox, and Sony put out next year? Here are my thoughts! 2021 might be another tough year for video games (and everything else) like this year. I won’t say 2020 was a bad year for video games. We got Animal Crossing New Horizons, Final Fantasy 7 Remake, The…

Tis the season everyone, time for Call of Duty to release a new game,  Time for them to climb the sales charts with another new title, Time for wives to mourn the loss of their husbands as we all prepare our bodies and new consoles for some elite level pew pew action. The Campaign mode of Black Ops Cold War was designed and developed by Raven Software which was already designing a campaign based on the Cold War before Treyarch …

How do you make a great racing game like Dirt 5 into a must-play experience? You optimise it for Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5. It’s that easy. Racing should be a bigger genre than it is. When you look at the mobile scene, the biggest titles are things that are intense, fun and playable in short bursts. That’s driving games to a tee. We haven’t been able to have that pleasure on console until now. The traditional experience has…

2020 has been a really tough year for many folks, and while video game consoles might not be the highest priority on everyone's list if they are experiencing financial hardships, some folks do have just enough saved up and lying around to not only survive this pandemic, but also get in on the latest and great tech.

There was some chatter earlier this year that the jump this new generation will give us will be the biggest since the leap between 2D and 3D. Don’t just dismiss that as marketing talk, because it’s very true. Since the strongest 2d games were released for the SNES, we’ve seen a very slow transition to 3D. PS1 and PS2 were about finding the roots that would lead us to gaming as we know it today. PS3 was about building those…

Assassin's Creed has been one of my favourite franchises of all time, and the changes they have made in the last few entries are wonderful in almost every way. While there were a few things in Assassin's Creed Origins and Assassin's Creed Odyssey that I didn't enjoy, some of those issues have been rectified in what I like to call the "New Era" of Assassin's Creed titles. From start to finish, Assassin's Creed Valhalla is a fantastic experience, punctuated by dozens of highs, and very few lows. Let's dive in!

I've been having discussions on Twitter with a bunch of folks around which next generation console feels more next generation, and from an outside perspective without having touched either yet (hopefully soon readers, hopefully soon! Many have been asking!), I've been fairly consistent in saying that PlayStation 5 feels much more next generation than Xbox Series X or Xbox Series S. And that's not a knock on Xbox. In fact, when you dive deeper into my reasoning, it's ultimately the system we would recommend this holiday!

Today is yet another big day in a long history of big days for Ubisoft, a worldwide video game development company with multiple studios scattered around Canada. One of the largest - Ubisoft Toronto - was the team behind today's launch, Watch Dogs: Legion. Yesterday, Ubisoft Toronto hosted an industry event via YouTube, giving media and fans the opportunity to ask questions of the Toronto team, about how Watch Dogs: Legion was created. We asked a few of our own questions around the various studios working relationships, and got some fantastic responses!

I've been exploring the streets of London thanks to Ubisoft Canada, and while Kevin Austin has been focusing on our review of the title, I've been putting my energy into some supplementary articles. One of the biggest questions I had going into Watch Dogs: Legion, and one I think I've finally answered, is "does Watch Dogs: Legion miss having a singular protagonist?" Let's dive in.
