This is a guest post by our friend at Enlightened-Digital, Brian Thomas. Brian has written other articles about Red Dead Redemption 2 and Fortnite. After nearly eight years of development, Rockstar will officially release Red Dead Redemption 2 this Friday. The anticipated open world game benefited from a first-time global collaboration among the company’s offices…

World of Warcraft’s newest expansion: Battle for Azeroth, is a breath of fresh gaming air. The last expansion, Legion, was fun albeit visually repetitive at the end. Seriously – can we get some blue sky for the Love of Elune? Argus doubled down on the scorched-earth-and-black-sky motif that ran roughshod over the rest of the graphics. We’re now…

Vanilla World of Warcraft (or Classic to be know from here-forth), still brings back sweet memories and haunting boss drops. Whether played for fun or as a lifestyle, the first iteration of WoW changed the culture of online gaming forever. I remember stopping at Best Buy off of Route 43 somewhere between Lake Geneva and…

Stranger Things: The Game is quite possibly the best way to start your weekend morning. Here I am, sitting on the couch next to my mother-in-law, killing time before my wife comes home from her workout. Coffee in hand and pup laying next to me, I open Reddit. Bam – front page post on Stranger…

Let’s face it. Warlords of Draenor was a move away from the center of World of Warcraft. While each expansion has its own flavor and spices, WoD definitely broke the palate for the casual WoW player, at least in my experience. And here’s why that wasn’t a bad thing. To begin, I’ve walked away from each of…

What do you get when you combine Harvest Moon style gameplay with SNES-style 16-bit retro graphics? Stardew Valley, the brand new farm simulator from ConcernedApe, that has literally taken the Twitch and video game world by storm. Oh, and perhaps the coolest element about Stardew Valley: it’s also a dating simulator, so you can go…

Clash Royale spun off of Clash of Clans like Frasier spun off of Cheers. Granted, Clash Royale doesn’t feature a Kelsey Grammar where he psychoanalyzes your opponent to death. Although the graphic of a crazy, cartoonish Kelsey grammar a la Yuri from Red Alert 3 does come to mind. First off, it’s a fun game…
