Dr Disrespect is no fool, but that doesn’t mean he can’t be caught with his pants down from time to time. And this is one of those times. Call of Duty: Warzone is perhaps the greatest battle royale game in the world today. It has all the fast action of Apex Legends with an even […]
DOOM Eternal Review: The Thinking Man’s DOOM
The DOOM reboot in 2016 revitalized the FPS genre in many ways. The fluidity of the combat and always-move-forward design philosophy made other shooters look trivial by comparison. DOOM Eternal is to DOOM (2016) as DOOM (2016) was to all other shooters.

MLB The Show 20 Review – Solid Contact
Baseball in real life is often criticized for its slow pace, but I like its flow in MLB 20. It’s different from most other sports in that the moment-to-moment experience isn’t continuous, but I enjoy the built-in tension before, during, and after crucial plays in MLB The Show 20. The action goes from 0 to […]
