Watch Dogs was one of the first “next gen” games we ever saw, even if at the time we didn't know for sure if it was “next-gen”. At Ubisoft’s 2012 press conference Watch Dogs was the finale, the “One l… Read more

It's like GTA for the Wi-Fi Generation.

The most average game I've ever played

The hacking differentiates it somewhat, but Watch Dogs is still a bread-and-butter open-world game with an abysmal story

Ever since its eye-opening debut at E3 a mere two years ago, Watch Dogs has been heralded as the true arrival of next-generation gaming. Ubisoft itself has done little to discourage this notion, barre… Read more

In this game you play as a 4chan reject who I'm pretty sure the developers of the game actively disliked. Aden Pierce plays an elite hacker who hacks the systems to put cat memes onto Chicago's futuri… Read more

What Could Have Been: Watch Dogs

Watch Dogs. The oddest game I ever liked.

Watch Dogs as many great things going about it. The shooting is fun, the hacking is a great tool and never feels gimmicky, and the side quests are fantastic. As great as these big mechanics are that m… Read more

A solid idea hampered by familiarity
