Darkest Dungeon II Sold 100K Copies in First 24 Hours

To quote the narrator of the original Darkest Dungeon, “ruin has come to our family.” Thankfully, however, it certainly appears as though ruin has not befallen the Darkest Dungeon franchise’s developers, Red Hook Studios. Their newest hotly-anticipated title, Darkest Dungeon II, launched…

Fighting Juggernauts Bundle Is Casual-Friendly

I want to start this off by saying that while Phenixx Gaming is a Humble Partner, I didn’t write this article with that in mind. I wanted to cover this particular bundle because I think it provides a decent gateway into one…

Prime Gaming – November 2021

Much like a song with the chord progression, C, E minor, F, and G, I’m sure we can all agree, I don’t like Mondays. However, this week’s Monday is made slightly shinier than usual, which is odd, because I’m back to talking…

God of War (2018) – Review

DARQ Is Free On The Epic Games Store

Monday, the Uncharted trailer showed Tom Holland was miscast, and Fallout 76 has a Halloween event despite being the most horrible thing about Fallout. Tuesday, leaked Steam sale dates were confirmed, Halo Infinite tried to explain what’s going on, and Fallout 76 tried to add more things to make me care. Wednesday, WoW‘s next patch was given…

Antlers (Film) Review

As much a haunting rural folk tale as it is a terrifying creature feature, Antlers is the newest and most frightening film by Scott Cooper. His atmospheric direction, production design, and craft, are bolstered by a star-making turn from newcomer Jeremy Thomas and two…

Doctor Who “The Day of the Doctor” – Review

2.47-billion. There is a reason that out of all the actors to play the character and all the variations on the single person calling themselves The Doctor, I return to Christopher Eccleston’s 9th. He’s the one where the story began and how…

BlizzCon 2022 is Now “On Pause”

I present to you a massive understatement: Activision-Blizzard is most assuredly not having a good time of things right now. If you’re somehow unaware of everything that’s happened (and is still in the process of happening) at their corporate headquarters over the…
