This month we had a lot of fun with a playset written by Morgan Worth (@emptymorgue) with help from @hufflebecks, called Oasis Lake! Things get, perhaps unsurprisingly, pretty weird! Due to scheduling weirdness it's a three person Fiasco this time, which means we all have a relationship with everyone. So it's a different dynamic b...

Hey everyone! It's always a pleasure getting to review a Yakuza game. I was a bit worried that I'd be burned out since Yakuza 0 wasn't all that long ago. Fortunately, that wasn't the case and Kiwami has a lot going for it. While I don't think it's the best in the series, some of its additions, particularly the Majima Everywhere system, are quite cr...

Hi it's Bloodworth again, back with another Ubisoft preview for gamescom. The Crew 2 was one of my biggest surprises from E3, so I was happy to sit down and play a bit more. Here's the footage of my session along with my impressions. Enjoy!

Hi everyone,
Bloodworth back with more Ubisoft footage from Gamescom. This was done the same way as Far Cry, but I think the results work out a little better. Thanks again for your feedback, and I hope you enjoy this extended look at the new Assassin's Creed.

Check out 20 minutes of gameplay from Far Cry 5 with commentary from Blood and Jones. Since we already played Far Cry and Assassin's Creed at E3 and gave our impressions, I wanted to try something different for gamescom. I know it's a fairly common format of course, but not something we've done much before so let us know what you think. More to com...

Trails in the Sky is my third Don't Skip, but it's absolutely the one I enjoyed the most. Although I don't want to spoil the video itself, just know that if you have a penchant for JRPGs, you should give Trails in the Sky a shot if you haven't already. Very excited to get around to SC and the 3rd when I can. Enjoy!
