12 8 月, 2020 Kirk McKeand 0

MMOs feel too much like a second job to me. They’re spreadsheets that you play at your PC, which is where I sit down to work all day. I don’t like the idea of stabbing 20 wolves to get +1 of some stat I don’t give a crap about. I’ve tried TESO, FF14, and even […]

4 8 月, 2020 Kirk McKeand 0

EA Vancouver has reworked the standup to give it more pop in UFC 4. The UFC games have always been good, but the sense of raw power has always been missing from the standup game – the twist of the hips transferring into an outstretched fist smashing against jawbone isn’t easy to capture in a […]
