Assassin's Creed Syndicate is the ninth main entry in the series since the franchise debut in 2007, and the first I've put my hands on since Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag in early 2014. Playing through, it was difficult to take what Syndicate had to offer and where it executes it's ideas well without looking to the past and comparing it to other entries in the series. Whereas Black Flag was a major departure from…
"I am a Man of Fortune, and I must seek my Fortune." -- Henry Avery Approaching Uncharted 4: A Thief's End with trepidation is reasonable, to say the least. The franchise seemed to wrap itself up nicely on the last generation of consoles, and one of the last things anyone seemed to find themselves saying after Uncharted 3 was, "I cannot wait to see more of this."

DOOM was saddled with one of the biggest problems that the old powerhouse studios of video game development have struggled with eternally: "How do we make a classic property in 'Year XXXX' feel modern and relevant?"

I thought 'Well, that will never happen, nobody could possibly ever make that game.' Then came Brink, a class-based, first person shooter that boasted an interesting creative direction, a fairly intriguing universe and,…
Mob stories are cool. Or at least, at one time they were, when they weren't just rehashes of those that were spun 10-20 years ago. Godfather reference goes here. There is no such thing as a fresh mob story in our modern era, but that's not necessarily a bad thing, provided that the oft stale stories can be told in an interesting way. One might expect that from a game that is simply called "Mafia", but then, one…
