The Forza Horizon franchise has been my favorite racing series since the release of Forza Horizon 3. The excellent racing mechanics, gorgeous visuals, and the fact that it doesn’t take itself too seriously coalesce into an experience that has resonated with me on a consistent basis.

But it wasn’t until I…

My nostalgia for Turok begins and ends with 1997’s Turok: Dinosaur Hunter for Nintendo 64. Few things were cooler to 10-year-old me than shooting dinosaurs – or really dinosaurs in general – but I never engaged with the franchise beyond this title.

That has yet to happen since the N64 era, but Turok: Origins may be the best shot the series has had in decades. Developer Saber…

When Pokémon Champions launched on Nintendo Switch earlier this year, I heard rumblings of it being a slightly confusing collection of ideas. That seemed particularly baffling to me, given the simple premise of focusing entirely on battling. However, now that it’s come to mobile and I’ve spent some time with it, I completely understand what people have been saying. It tries to please everyone and, ultimately, pleases very few. Take new players, for instance. If you’ve only ever casually dabbled with the main entries, chances are the intricacies of competitive battling are an unknown. It’s easy to wade through the…

As part of our trip to Halo Studios back in May for our recently announced Halo: Campaign Evolved cover story, I had the chance to sit down and play through all three of the new missions included in the remake package.

These hands-on impressions are just a part of our in-depth cover story that chronicles the creation of the original Halo: Combat Evolved, as well as the upcoming 25th-anniversary remake, Halo:…
