October is a packed month for sudden launches of B-tier-looking video games based on pop culture from your childhood. First, we got word of a new G.I. Joe game. Then, we learned that there's a Cobra Kai beat-em-up tie-in with the...

[Update: To celebrate the new season, an animated short was produced showing Sam Fisher putting the youngsters through their paces.] I'm relatively new to the Siege community having only picked up the game earlier this year, but seeing as ...

November 10 might be a date that you've heard thrown around a fair bit today. That's because it's the day that the next generation of Xbox kicks off. It's when Xbox Series X and Series S both launch. It's also when some high-profile games l...

Sometime in the third act of Gears Tactics, as I was studying the battlefield to find optimal points of cover to send my COGs scurrying behind, the parallels hit me like a ton of bricks: All those Gears games I had been playing since t...

I played a ton of Gears Tactics over the course of the last two weeks, and I loved it so much that I'm about ready to go back for more. The endgame Veteran missions are starting to wear thin -- the only thing I'm really chasing is rand...

Man, I remember when Wasteland 2 hit Kickstarter, I was so excited. Not because I had a nostalgic familiarity with the series, but because I am just so in love with traditional RPGs in that vein. I wanted to support that style of game ...

I can't say I've ever seen a tactical role-playing game that looks like Othercide. It's committing hard to its black, white, and red aesthetic, and the subject matter – a war between Daughters, the "echoes of the greatest warrior to e...

Mutant Year Zero: Road to Eden captured hearts and minds in 2018 with the way it blended smart tactical shooting, real-time stealth/ambush mechanics, and a cast of gruff wise-cracking animals. It was XCOM by way of Animal Farm, m...
