Martin O’Donnell’s indelible choral theme to Halo: Combat Evolved has helped set the tone for Master Chief’s battle against The Covenant from the very beginning. For me, just hearing the word “Halo” is enough to bring those haunting voices and the piece’s somber melody to mind, but with Halo 4 in the hands of a new developer, the time has come for a fresh approach to the series’ soundtrack. Enter Neil Davidge, who has contributed to the scores for such films as Clash of the Titans and Trouble The Water, but may be better known for his writing and production work on the last three Massive Attack albums, Mezzanine, 100th Window and Heligoland....

One of the main factors that makes players return to Dark Souls 3 is the game’s PvP. Aside from playing through the entire game and its DLCs, players can also take the time to fight one another and test out various builds to see how effective they are. A recent massive mod overhauls all of that however, making Dark Souls 3’s PvP more intense, rewarding, yet balanced in return. Known as Champion’s Ashes, the mod essentially reworks the game’s feint system, spells, weapons, armor, move sets, and much, much more....

When it comes to gaming, there’s retro, and then there’s really retro. There’s Atari 2600 retro, and then there’s shapes-carved-into-stone retro. Centuries ago, during a time when a Nintendo Switch would be seen as evidence of witchcraft and likely subject its owner to death by drowning, would-be gamers turned to a more primitive form of entertainment. Today, historians and gaming enthusiasts are gazing in awe at a newly-discovered, medieval-era relic that gives a glimpse into board games from a very different time....

When Microsoft introduced the original Xbox to the masses in 2001, it came with a gigantic controller that many felt was too large. Over time, gamers affectionately (and sometimes non-affectionately) called this controller The Duke due to its large stature, and the name stuck. Several months ago, Hyperkin announced that it was bringing The Duke back, and the nostalgic masses reacted in positive fashion. Now it appears Microsoft also approves of the design, with a tweet from former Xbox co-founder Seamus Blackley sharing his enthusiasm....

Xbox UK marketing director calls 2016 a tipping point for Xbox One, saying the console’s momentum builds confidence within the industry going into 2017. It’s no secret that for the last few years since they launched, Sony’s PlayStation 4 has consistently outsold Microsoft’s Xbox One. With more than 40 million units sold worldwide, PlayStation 4 has outperformed Xbox One nearly every month since release. However, that changed this summer. Beginning in July, Xbox One sales picked up, taking over the top spot in console sales since....

For as much as the launch of the Xbox One was met with tremendous fanfare and a 1 million unit sales tally in the first 24 hours, the console is still very much a work in progress. Nowhere is that more apparent than in the game’s party system which, to the say the least, is significantly flawed. Luckily, Microsoft is well aware of the Xbox One party system’s shortcomings, and are apparently doing all they can to correct them in a future update....

It’s been less than three weeks since Mass Effect 3 came out and with most long-time fans having already conquered the single-player campaign, the focus is now on multiplayer. In our Mass Effect 3 review, we pointed out that BioWare was successful in adding a fun co-op experience with their first attempt at adding multiplayer to the series, but ultimately, it was a very limited addition considering it only featured one mode and six small maps....
