Sea of Thieves review: The quiet pirate life for thee
At long last, Microsoft fans have a big name exclusive to call their own. Unfortunately, it’s not the system seller we were hoping for…yet. Three years after its E3 2015 reveal and a calendar year’s worth of public playtesting mixed in there, Sea of Thieves is finally here, ready to inject the Xbox One’s lagging first-party catalog with a bit of fresh sea air.

Final Fantasy XV: Windows Edition review: The definitive edition is on PC
The flawed Final Fantasy XV experience has found a solid footing on PC, coming away as the best possible way to play the game. Square Enix had a lot riding on Final Fantasy XV from its days of being the elusive Versus XIII. This was back when fans were already anointing its protagonist Noctis as “the next Cloud” years before any of them would actually pick up the controller.

Pokemon Crystal on 3DS is the definitive version of the Game Boy Color’s best game
Pokemon Crystal on Nintendo 3DS is a must-have for anyone who breathes oxygen. It’s a well-known phenomenon that the release of new Pokemon games typically coincides with massive upticks in handheld sales for Nintendo, and there’s a good reason for that. Pokemon is a tightly designed experience that undergoes minor refinements to a formula that was near perfect from the very beginning.

Review: Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth – Hacker’s Memory is functional fan service wrapped in a budget package at full price
A fan pleaser that won’t move the needle for larger audiences. I have a confession to make. I am not a Digimon fan. I never watched the anime growing up, never collected the cards, nor played any game in the series to this point. I have, however, been an unabashed Pokemon fan since the days of Red and Blue, so going into this, I thought there was a chance I could come to like it similarly.

[NSFW] Genital Jousting exits Steam Early Access for full release
Sometimes, standing out means it’s better to be unusual than it is to stick with the status quo. Other times standing out just means that your game is about dicks, and what comes (giggity) is a little game called Genital Jousting. Publisher Devolver Digital has announced that the sausage fest adventure game has left Early Access and is now a full game according to a new press release, and features an all-new story mode starring a dick who is aptly named, John.

Review: Xenoblade Chronicles 2 is a messy RPG that works if you’re willing to dig
The original Xenoblade Chronicles was a game I, like many other JRPG fans, pined for when it was thought to be a Japanese release only. Thankfully, the Operation Rainfall petition worked, and Wii owners were treated to what was easily the best JRPG on the console, and potentially even across all platforms during that entire console generation.

Cyberpunk 2077 wins the internet by tweeting one word after four years of silence
Could a reveal for Cyberpunk 2077 be incoming? The internet can’t stop talking about CD Projekt RED’s upcoming Action-RPG after a single one-word tweet. While it sounds insatiably cliché, sometimes it is the little things that matter. Or in this instance, Cyberpunk 2077, a game that the world hasn’t even seen save for a brief concept trailer that came out exactly five years ago to the day, is proving to be quite the trending topic today.

Civilization 6 can be had for an amazing value through Humble Monthly

Next month’s bundle was recently revealed to be headlined by Civilization 6 and its 2 DLC packs, the Vikings Scenario, and Australian Civilization/Scenario packs.

Star Wars: Battlefront 2 Classic gets a multiplayer update 12 years after release
It’s not every day you see a 12-year-old game get worked on, but it’s a welcome surprise when it does happen. Pandemic’s original Star Wars: Battlefront 2 game, which originally debuted back in 2005, got a surprise patch yesterday, which is admittedly light, though it has elicited over 380 user comments on the update announcement on Steam.

Review: Pokemon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon are the definitive versions of games you've already played
Pokemon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon are fantastic Pokemon games that are easily better than their predecessors from just a year ago. A year is a very short time, particularly in regards to game development, so it doesn’t end up being much of a surprise that a large portion of Ultra Sun and Moon have been left untouched, as trainers will find themselves playing predominantly the same game as before.

Rumors of a Rocksteady Superman game resurface, subsequently shot down in two days
We know Rocksteady is working on something, but what it is, still remains anyone's guess. Naturally, with the kind of success the studio enjoyed on the Batman Arkham series, a lot of people have chosen to believe that their next project revolves around yet another DC hero, Superman. There have been rumblings of such a game from WB Montreal, the studio behind the Batman: Arkham Origins prequel, but so far they've proven to be nothing but hearsay.

Review: ELEX is a scrappy RPG that suffers on the technical front
It’s quite easy to be drawn to ELEX at first glance, particularly if you are a fan of open world Action RPGs. Its world stretches for miles in every direction and consists of diverse biomes that are home to warring factions that are just as distinct. Perhaps best of all is that it’s up to the player which of these factions you wish to take up arms with (or none at all), to which you customize the hero Jax’s look around.

Osama Bin Laden was apparently a gamer, pirated Final Fantasy 7, New Super Mario Bros, more
It's not every day that you find out that one of the worst human beings to ever waste oxygen on planet Earth happened to enjoy video games. According to some recent documents released by the CIA, it turns out that Osama Bin Laden (or at least someone who used his computer) pirated games such as Final Fantasy 7 and the 3DS hit New Super Mario Bros.

EA "nicely" asks fans keeping old Battlefield games online to cease and desist
The Revive Network is a group of dedicated Battlefield fans who have filled the void since Gamespy's shutdown in 2014. Over the last three years, the team has managed to keep Battlefield 2, Battlefield 2142, and Battlefield Heroes alive through the distribution of modified game clients. Well, no more as EA recently contacted Revive politely requesting that they shut down their work on these games.

Review: Assassin's Creed: Origins takes the series in the right direction, but not without a few bumps in the process
2017 will go down as a year where gamers will be spoiled by greatness. With titles such as Breath of the Wild, Super Mario Odyssey, Horizon: Zero Dawn, Persona 5, and even Wolfenstein 2 (among many others), it’s easy to overlook the plethora of second-tier titles. Assassin’s Creed won’t likely have that problem by virtue of its name, but it’s ultimately where Origins ends up sitting when all is said and done.

Copywriting

After trying my hand at making games, I realized I was much better at writing about them.

I got started back in the mid 90's with Pangea Software's Power Pete, a little top-down shooter that came pre-installed on the family's Macintosh Performa. After pouring hundred of hours into that and the X-Wing and TIE Fighter games, I made my way to the console space in 1997 with the original PlayStation and a copy of Madden 97.

When college time came around, I got this silly idea in my head that making games was for me, and set out to get into the industry. After landing a Master's Degree in Game Design, I quickly figured out that the classroom did not equal reality, but for whatever reason writing has always come naturally for me.

So here I am.

Now, I work as a contractor for Dell Blue focusing on Alienware and Dell Gaming. I work on videos and social content to drive engagement to these respective brands

Over the years, I've written for GameZone, App Trigger, and GameSkinny, culminating in a portfolio consisting of over 1,700 news articles, reviews, previews, guides, interviews, and editorials on a wide variety of entertainment topics including video games, TV, movies, and technology.
