Let it be known that I am a HUGE fan of arcade racers and a long-time player of Cruis'n Blast. I've been quite disappointed that the once-dominant genre is barely holding on. Obviously, the arcade scene in North America has been on the decline for years, and those arcades that…

Gears 5: Hivebusters is just what the series needed; a short but enjoyable romp, new faces, and a new perspective.
I'll be honest; I was never that big of an Assassin's Creed fan. Sure, I knew about the series and how funky it was with its off-the-wall plot. However, it wasn't until the last 4-5 years that I've paid more attention to the series, especially with Assassin's Creed Origins and…
