Fan loyalty, exclusives, tech, and a host of other factors come into play when making bets...

Can Video Games Help Us Become Better People? Most people think gamers are aggressive, lack self-control, and cannot delay gratification. Someone who plays World of Warcraft might be seen with prejudice. Video games have a bad reputation but the E-Sports world is gradually increasing. There is a great hype around the subject, as more than 2.5 billion people in the world are active gamers. Many people are concerned about action and first-person shooter games, thinking these types of games teach...

By, William Griston, For Love of the Game – Gigamax Games Contributor Liberated is an attempt to create an interactive comic book which is a pretty novel concept(no pun intended, but gleefully observed). I understand that the team behind Liberated is very small, so I shouldn’t be too hard on them or their game. Ever since 2010 Indie games have driven the market trends. We wouldn’t have battle royale games without DayZ or PUBG, nor would we have a resurgence in the popularity...

By, William Griston, For Love of the Game – Gigamax Games Contributor Do Synthetics Deserve Rights and Freedoms? That’s the question that Detroit: Become Human is asking of us, and for me, that answer was an emphatic “Yes!”. Ever since I started writing for Gigamax, I’ve been relatively diligent with taking screenshots. Detroit was different, it is such an engaging game that I forgot to take any screenshots while doing my playthrough. Detroit has the best story that I have had the great...

Special thanks to OffGamers for the guest blog submission! Read more by OffGamers! We're living in a period in gaming where a publisher can re-release the same exact game for multiple platforms for nearly a decade and nobody bats an eye. Don't get us wrong, Skyrim and Grand Theft Auto V are great titles, but we'd love it if publishers dove a bit deeper into their catalogs and gave some older gems their time in the sun. There are some excellent titles from yesteryear that were so...

Atomic Heart Shows Off Next Gen Gameplay And Soundtrack The developer behind Atomic Heart, Mundfish, has revealed a new gameplay trailer for it's upcoming first person shooter that gives off some serious Russian Bioshock vibes. The new footage takes place in the halls of the Exhibition of Achievements of National Economy, an amusement park located in Moscow, or VDNKH for short.

By, William Griston, For Love of the Game – Gigamax Games Contributor As beautiful as it is unstable I want to play it, but it crashes too damn much. Horizon Zero Dawn is the kind of game that’s a console seller, hell, I almost bought a PS4 for it. I’m glad I didn’t because it just got ported to PC, but oh man, why are PC ports always a gong show? Do these companies not test their product before they roll them...

Review by, William Griston, For Love of the Game – Gigamax Games Contributor As always, I’m a bit late to the party. That seems to happen these days. The whole “being a (semi) responsible adult with real-world responsibilities outside of video games'' thing tends to get in the way of being at the forefront of gaming. It is kind of strange, I have more or less the same amount of free time as I did back in high school but my days seem...
