Gears of War is celebrating its twentieth anniversary this year, so there’s no better celebratory release than a new game that takes us back before it all began. Gears of War: E-Day tells the story of Emergence Day, an event that would change the world of Sera forever, as creatures called the Locust broke out of the ground and laid waste to humans. It’s something that has been talked about all through the series, but finally we get to witness it firsthand.

Review: Minecraft Dungeons 2 is an Intriguing Diablo-lite
A long time ago a little indie game came along and took over the internet for what should have been a couple months, but turned out to be almost a couple of decades instead. Minecraft has kept on growing since its 2009 release, only just recently clearing lifetime sales of a truly ridiculous 425 million. It's had a truly terrible but popular movie, there's a theme park under construction complete with an original roller coaster, merchandise is still sold everywhere, and in general the franchise

Dissidia, Final Fantasy XIV, Strangers of Paradise, and of course, Final Fantasy Brave Exvius, all pay homage to past games. So, it shouldn't be that surprising that the upcomingFinal Fantasy Resonance, which itself is an adaptation of Brave Exvius' first story arc, also pays homage to Final Fantasy's past.While you don't get to directly control famous characters from Final Fantasy's past, you

Tales of Eternia Remastered: A New Way to Experience a Classic
It can sometimes be tempting to complain about all the remasters and remakes being produced these days. Making them does take resources, after all, and some might argue that those resources would be better spent on something entirely new. Both remakes and remasters serve an important purpose, though: keeping old favorites alive for longtime fans and creating new fans in the process.

Where to Gain Level 2 Access in Rivage
Rivage makes it clear quite quickly that Miranda's keycard isn't going to get you far. In fact, it only opens up the kitchen. From there, you'll need to get access to the Pod Bay before you can get a keycard with Level 2 access, which is Amaan's card.

NZXT Brings Back S Series PC Cases with S5 RGB
The S Series of NZXT PC cases was an entry level line of PC cases with a focus on solid quality that doesn't break the bank. NZXT has announced that the series is returning with two versions: S5 RGB and S5 RGB Deluxe. These will aim for style at an entry price point with allowing multiple fan placement and RGB incorporation. For the price, this looks to be quite the steal for a mid-tower case in a world where building PC's might not be a thing in just a few years. Costs are high elsewhere, so co

Review: Well Dweller
Family can be a lot to put up with, no matter how loved they may be. It doesn't matter if it's brother, sister, aunt, cousin, spouse, whatever, sometimes you need to be over here while they're over there. They don't have to be quiet, wherever the family may have gotten off to; they just need to not be seen or heard for a bit. This is true for every type of family, even when comprised of birds living in a fairy tale kingdom. A mother bird needs her hyperactive brood to be elsewhere for a bit, so
