For sure Black Flag is my favorite AC game hands down. Before it was released there was a real shortage of pirate themed games out there and Black Flag really picked up the slack. The best thing I like to do is replay it in the dead of winter because the setting really makes you feel like you're...

Logitech G13 Game Board. I have a medical condition that makes WASD nearly impossible. The G13 lets me map WASD to a little stick that I can control with my thumb. And it's super easy to set up profiles for all my games. I even use it on other types of game like Strategy. It's a lot more...

I pay attention to you a lot more than anyone else on the PC Gamer website and I assume you and I are a of a similar age as well as have similar tastes and thoughts as far as gaming is concerned. Case in point: I also want to like Epic Strategy games like "Crusader Kings 2" or "Galactic...

I tried to keep going to work like normal since I work in an "Essential Industry" but since my wife is a nurse in a major hospital (and I got a cold, which freaked everyone out in the office) I decided to work from home for the time being. We've been binge watching a lot of TV and in my...

So far I've really enjoyed the Elder Scrolls series starting with "Morrowind". The only thing I would really like to see is maybe some improved/added mechanics. One thing I've always wanted to see in open world RPGs is vertical movement. When I was a kid and played D&D with my friends I...

Good or bad when I see the phrase "Free to Play (FPS)" I usually write the game off. Because my experience has been that no game asks for more money than "Free to Play" games. Sure, you're not required to spend money on a lot of these games but it's strongly encouraged. And it seems like most of...
