The '10 Cloverfield Lane' Director Has Big Video Game Dreams For Himself
Sometimes we don't imagine that video games are a part of the lives of our favorite movie directors. Considering the poor transition of video games to film, it makes sense that perhaps these directors truly just aren't in tune with the essence of video games at all.

Telltale's Batman Is A Worthy Addition To The Batman Legacy
The myth surrounding Batman has had a seemingly unending number of interpretations over the years since he was created in 1939. Batman has appeared in comics, animation, feature films and video games over the last 75+ years. And considering how deep and intricate his story is, it's easy to understand why he's such a popular character to bring into the various mediums over the years.

'Watch Dogs 2': Who Is DedSec, And What Are They Fighting For?
The Watch Dogs 2 world is incredibly immersive, and sharply written. The lighter tone stands in stark contrast to the somewhat broody and darker original, and it seems that #Ubisoft has learned a lot of lessons from their original attempt. A lot of players passed on Watch Dogs after mixed reviews came in, but it seems that Watch Dogs 2 has picked up a lot of new fans, despite Ubisoft's difficulty with the original game.

What FPS Game Do I Need? - Titanfall, Battlefield or Call of Duty?
Short answer: All of them are great, so play them all if you can! Long answer if you can only get one or two: read on. We've all faced a decision like this at some point in our lives, a decision between several potential options. For gamers, its a two-fold decision that makes us question how many $60 games we can buy while still having money left to buy Mountain Dew and Totinos Pizza Rolls. Currently, any gamer who has any sort of affinity towards the FPS genre knows that the biggest decision to make this year is between Battlefield 1, Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare, and Titanfall 2.

Why I Love: 'Team Fortress 2'
Truthfully, I feel a bit guilty when talking about video games so much. I feel this way because I don’t find myself playing them as often as I once did. There’s three reasons for this. The first is that I feel as though the golden era of video games has come to an end (more on that in the future). The second reason is that gaming has become ridiculously expensive over the years, and being a student in 2017 doesn’t exactly have its financial perks.

Gaming Legacies: The Console Franchises That Defined Generations
Leaving a legacy is something that every game developer hopes to find when they introduce a new character or game in general. If a game is playable and has truly relatable characters, then it's more likely to have a legacy and a fan-base that wants more. A legacy game brings staying power to the developer and allow them to introduce future iterations and new games as well.

A Lineage Of Assassins: A Quick History of 'Assassin's Creed'
Eight years ago, my whole gaming experience was changed with the release of one game. I was, as were many others, trapped in the Halo 3 and Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare circuit. They were the only games I played -- literally -- all day long some days. Then I was introduced to a brotherhood of assassins, and I never looked back. I started on a journey back in 2007 along with many other gamers, as we saw that there was more out there than the first person shooter. We've played through the games and waited patiently for Ubisoft to release the next new assassin and just prior to Halloween this year we were given a new game and new characters and it has been a glorious journey so far.
