Halo Infinite is a good game that’s only become better over the last year or so thanks to smart updates and new content being added each season.

If you’ve been murderin’ your way through dungeons in Diablo IV recently, you’ve likely killed a lot of monsters, found a lot of loot, and also ended up with a half dozen (or more) gems in your inventory taking up space that weapons and armor could occupy. That can be annoying, and some players...

Two Decades Later, Halo 2’s Iconic E3 Trailer Will Be Playable

A Game So Good It Could Have Been Hexen III
4.7.2022
In the mood for a retro-style FPS, I dug around the new releases on Steam, and poked at a few, not really clicking. Until, that is, I found Hands Of Necromancy, and then played it all weekend. This is a Hexen-like FPS, with enormous, sprawling maps, a whole bunch of weapons, an array of enemy...
