I scan the games on sale section on Xbox each week, because well, I have a gaming problem, and a few weeks ago the racing game Gravel popped up for $5 and some change. I’d never heard of the game. A quick look at the reviews by users revealed a ...

You're welcome America ...

I was as hyped for Cyberpunk as anyone else before the release. Huge surprise here, I loved Witcher 3, and had gained a lot of respect for the Polish developer CD Projekt Red. I even pre-ordered Cyberpunk 2077. Some of you might pre-order games all the time, but I’ve found ...

while True: learn() describes itself as “a puzzle/simulation game about even more puzzling stuff: machine learning, neural networks, big data, and AI. But most importantly, it’s about understanding your cat.” After playing through the game, I’d say it does an excellent job using your quest to understand your cat through ...

Don’t look up is a Netflix movie written and directed by Adam Mckay. If you don’t know who Adam Mckay is, then first off, fuck you. He created some of the best comedies in the last 20 years. Ricky Bobby, Anchorman, Step Brothers, etc. etc. The first thing that jumped ...

I don't know how I didn't try Wreckfest until now. I guess I assumed it was a B-tier driving game with poor controls and a shitty game engine. It turns out I was REALLY wrong. Wreckfest controls like a dream. It feels outstanding with a wheel, absolutely blowing Forza Horizon ...

Chorus takes about 20 hours to complete and is $40. It's also the best space combat game I've ever played. Here's a gameplay trailer to give you an idea of what to expect ...

I picked up the Tomb Raider: Definitive Survivor Trilogy on the cheap this past Black Friday on Xbox and decided to give it a go on my Series X. The first in the series, Tomb Raider, was released in 2013. On the Series X, S, and PS5 Tomb Raider enjoys ...

The future is looking very bright for video games indeed. Epic Games released an Unreal Engine 5 demo featuring the Matrix. This raises the bar for narrative storytelling and video games in general. This demo was created in a year's time by a small team at Epic. The demo and ...

Singularity did poorly when it came out in 2010. Ironically, the time-mechanic focused shooter was more of a victim of its release time than poor design. Activision pushed the release of Singularity away from Modern Warfare 2, which came out in 2009, to give Singularity some breathing room and more ...

I tried theHunter: Call of the Wild when it was on Xbox Game Pass a few years ago. I enjoyed the game moderately at that time, but there was a steep learning curve, and the game was obtuse enough to cause me to fall off. When theHunter: Call of the ...

Occasionally, I will encounter an exemplary piece of art that reminds me just how extraordinary human beings and their capacity for creative expression are. These pieces of art can be music, film, sculpture, and yes, our beloved video games. Exo One is a work of art that I would recommend ...

The Forza Horizon 5 wheel settings are horrific out of the box. This is a bummer for such an outstanding game otherwise. Don't worry though, I've got you covered. These settings should smooth things out considerably and cut down on that insane wheel oscillation. Go into your advanced controls with ...

Ouch! You’ve probably seen the many reviews for Forza Horizon 5 floating around recently. Big surprise, it’s getting 9s and 10s all around and being hailed as the best open world racing game. It’s already the largest Xbox Game Studios release. Forza Horizon 5 is a slam dunk. I agree ...

Full disclosure here, I will be discussing various scenes from the new Dune movie. If you don’t want any spoilers, run away! Okay…I’ve never read any of the Dune books, and I haven’t watched the original Dune movie, so beyond a cool looking trailer for the new movie, I really ...

Some of the most enduring gaming memories I have come from the immersive sim genre. I got to experience such greats as System Shock 2 and Deus Ex on PC when they came out. The Bioshock games make my list for sure. I remember having a lot of fun playing ...

Midnight Mass follows a community of people living in an isolated island town. A young, charismatic priest arrives. Shortly after, the ...

Into the Pit Review Into the Pit by Nullpointer Games looked awesome when I first saw a trailer. You’re running around with magic shards shooting out of your hands like they’re gatling guns. The action is wicked fast, and the colors are vibrant. The enemies are metal as hell. The ...

I enjoyed core Assassin’s Creed Valhalla immensely, but by the end of the game I had lopped off one too many heads, dive kicked one too many bears, and Ubisoft had thrown too much incomprehensible Animus bullshit at me that I needed to take a hiatus from Valhalla. Several months ...

Hey guys, this is Oracle from the Red Eye Report. Far Cry 6 came out recently. I played through it, and I found the game to be incredibly tedious and uneven story wise. Something kept bothering me. Far Cry 6 plays well. Combat is a smooth experience. Ubisoft has built ...

Far Cry 6 has a lot going for it. The island nation that you spend the game liberating is huge and gorgeous. All that real estate doesn’t go to waste either. Around every corner, through every mountainous path, on every beach, there is something to look at or do. You ...

VR is in a unique position in gaming. It's truly novel for many users. Long gone are the days of marveling at mouselook in a first person shooter or crying in jubilation at the sound of your dial up modem connecting to a friend and the possibilities of online multiplayer ...

Assassin's Creed Valhalla is the third AC game since a major overhaul of the series starting with Assassin's Creed Origins in 2017. I found Origins to have an impressive and dynamic open world with a decent story. The follow-up to that game, Assassin's Creed Odyssey which released in 2018, was ...

Streaming video games is another dumb and fruitless hobby that I have. It's consistently a pain in the ass if you want to do anything like add overlays and a camera with a green screen. You need a capable PC to do this. Your stream will look like pixel vomit ...

I've had the Xbox Series X for a little under 2 weeks, and I'm ready to give my honest to goodness review of Microsoft's new console. First of all, it was a complete pain in the ass to get this console in 2020. I tried to purchase one on 4 ...

I am a gamer. I spend a lot of my free time playing video games, looking at game magazines, websites, and performing all the other fuckoff activities that gamers tend to do. For all of my nerd brethren out there, you know exactly what I'm talking about. If you can't ...
