The Outer Worlds is Outta This World

The Outer Worlds isn't the best choice, it's Spacer's Choice! This game is a true Role-Playing video game with well thought out dialog options. It's far more an RPG than an open-world action game. It has a New Vegas feel to it but it's a very, very different game....

That Time I Was in The Atlanta Journal Constitution

Quick Scope Review of Ghost Recon Breakpoint

With the game being so new I wanted to do a Quick Scope review to help you understand why this game is lackluster. As if all the mediocre reviews and overwhelmingly poor feedback weren't enough. But like you (maybe, I don't really know you) I LOVE this franchise and...

Why Be Normal When You Can Be Extraordinary?
