Assassin’s Creed is the perfect game for memes because it doesn’t make sense half the time. That’s not to say it’s a bad series, but it sure is fun to laugh at. There are glitches that cause ships to ascend to heaven and people’s faces to disappear. It’s not all glitches though. Some game mechanics are wonky as well. First of all, who the heck is going to see a wanted poster when it’s on the roof of a building....

It would be close to impossible to talk about some of the most popular JRPG series around without mentioning the masterpiece that is Persona. The series was already great with the first two games, but its Persona 3 that truly helped the series break its shackles and emerge as one of the freshest and most interesting JRPGs of all time. Of course, while Persona 3 was a groundbreaking title, it was also the first Persona title to try out such a different formula....

During her reign as “The Slayer,” Buffy had to face many nasties, strange creatures, and demons, some of which were so unsettling that they have stayed with viewers ever since....

While the Xbox One saw less than stellar sales in its first year it was still a worthy upgrade to the Xbox 360. That’s just what you’d expect from a world-leading console developer like Microsoft.

But the gaming world is competitive, and as this console generation draws to a close, the PS4 and Nintendo Switch both eclipsed Xbox sales....

The announcement that Batman: Arkham Origins would be developed by WB Games Montreal, not Rocksteady Studios may have set the game off on an uphill battle, but we’d be lying if we said we weren’t growing more and more interested by the day.
