The Xbox Series X has the PS5 beat on games, technically. That is to say, Microsoft’s backwards compatibility program beats the pants off of the PS5. That said, there are more launch exclusives for the PS5. Many of them even have multiplayer in mind with ten games in all. There are some honorable mentions worth mentioning, too. The PS5 version of Watch Dogs: Legion will be ready, but the multiplayer mode still won’t be active until December....

The Deus Ex series is one of the go-to examples of a fantastic and deep speculative video game world. The franchise has done an amazing job of creating a believable future, where bionic implants have been developed to grant users with breath-taking – and dangerous – abilities. Delving in to the darker side of technology, as well as what it means to be human, the original games developed a strong following before Square Enix brought the series back with a bang through Deus Ex: Human Revolution....

Growing up as a gamer in the early ’90s could be considered a worry-free time, without any restrictions. The first gaming system I remember playing was the SNES. It was the stuff childhoods were made of! In the summer, there was nobody to stop me from making a potato of myself via a day’s worth of Mario Kart or Stargate. And back then, nobody really told me what I could, or couldn’t play....

Disintegration is a new sci-fi first-person shooter from Marcus Lehto, the co-creator of a little game you might have heard of called Halo. Considering that that franchise has gone on to be the backbone of Microsoft’s entire gaming platform you might expect big things from a new IP by the man who helped give the world the gift of Master Chief. Sadly, it’s pretty doubtful that this will leave the same kind of impact on the world as Mr....

During Bethesda’s reveal of the DOOM reboot’s slick, gory, and speed-driven gameplay trailer at their E3 2015 Keynote Address, fans of id Software’s FPS franchise fawned over the footage with oohs and ahhs as the Marine — or “Doomguy” as some gamers call him — ripped his way through demons and hell-spawns with a shotgun, automatic rifle, and, of course, a chainsaw. In truth, the reception for the game has been so positive that some are going as far as to dub it a modern, revitalized old-school shooter....

As is starting to become common with recent releases, Bethesda has announced that Doom Eternal and The Elder Scrolls Online will be receiving free upgrades for next-gen platforms.
