Video game companies often try to market a companion app for their games. I don't know if they're just trying to cross promote something that will get phone users to generate traffic, or if the developers legitimately got behind this thing as a useful service. Red Dead Redemption II's is on the latter half. It's actually useful, which is something I ignored until my friend messaged me and Godzilla Vs Kong Crossover told me to check it out. It's a great way to use the

Crackdown 3 is also receiving a 5v5 multiplayer mode called Wrecking Zone that takes advantage of Microsoft's Azure technology for mass destruction across two maps at launch. After a tumultuous development process, it's great to finally see the game so close to finally shipping. The original Crackdown will also soon be available via Xbox Backwards Compatibility, so series fans should be satisfied over the next few mon

Let’s say you do want a more up close and personal type of gameplay though. Well PUBG has you covered on that as well. The game has all different kinds of events that take place periodically and mix things up a bit. The Tequila Sunrise mode, where the only weapons available are shotguns and melee weapons, completely alters how you play because you have to be within close range to do any damage. This usually results in chaotic firefights. War Mode sets three teams of ten players against each other at designated areas of the map and is similar to the standard team deathmatch. Metal Rain multiplies squads by two and features eight-player teams. The ever-rotating set of events always offer a refreshing change when you might not want to play the normal battle royale mode. While these modes do provide a nice change of pace, I always come back to what PUBG got so right the first time aro

PlayerUnkown's Battlegrounds shocked the video game world back in early 2017. Its creative take on the typical multiplayer shooter paved the way for the future of online action games. Fortnite has raked in the dough by branching off of the playstyle of PUBG . Call of Duty Black Ops 4 and Battlefield V will both include a battle royal mode tailored toward those series. However, despite it being a year and a half after the game initially took off, there still hasn't been a game that can replicate the experience that PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds provi

Fixed an issue where when players leave the vehicle and the vehicle is positioned right next to the window of a building, players would go into the building through the window when getting out off the veh

Wow. While Xbox Game Pass may still be the third most popular gaming subscription service , in my opinion, it offers the strongest lineup of titles available without the need of streaming. The service is discounted for the time being and you'll soon be able to download games from your phone as well, so now seems like as good of a time as ever to jump

PlayerUnkown's Battlegrounds isn’t the best-made game in the world, visually. It also doesn’t run particularly well -- a fact that developers made light of in their recent Inside Xbox Live at Gamescom showcase. We are eight months past the official release of Version 1.0, and the battle royale game is still riddled with bugs on PC; that's not even mentioning the Xbox One version, which is finally coming out of Early Access . In fact, PUBG Corporation, the developers behind the game, literally created a website entitled fix.pubg.com that outlines their roadmap for updates that will better optimize the performance of the title. There are a lot of unignorable issues that understandably drive players a

Before I proceed, let’s address the elephant in the room. Yes, Fortnite has stolen a massive number of PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds players, and the number seems to be increasing every single day. However, there is one aspect that the developers at PUBG Corporation have in their game compared to everyone else: that sweet, sweet chicken dinner. I have not found any other experience that can replicate the joyous and rewarding feeling after winning that glorious m

After a long period of silence , Sumo Digital and Microsoft finally shared more information on Crackdown 3 and its multiplayer mode. We learned that the game will be launching on February 15, and like other first party games will be included with Xbox Game Pass at lau

Like previous titles, the Hundred Acre Wood will be full of tons of minigames for players to try, including some more puzzle based ones, but players can now also walk around and interact with several Winnie the Pooh characters as well. This world reveal also came alongside the announcement that several Final Fantasy titles were coming to Xbox One as well, so JRPG fans will have a lot of classics to play on Microsoft's platform s

Red Dead Redemption II has a pretty bleak and confusing opening. I had no idea it was going to start with your gang being stranded in the mountains, deep in cold snow, and on the brink of being wiped out. Aside from the atmosphere, it's also just kind of dull and drawn out. This tempered my excitement for the game and I kept telling myself "this is going to get good" just to keep myself going. It's not the worst opening 2-3 hours of a game, but it was a letdown, to say the le
