Checkpoint GamingLatest Reviews
The date was the 6th of September 2017. I set up the transfer of my characters from Bungie’s first Destiny title to the greatly anticipated Destiny 2. We had been warned that we would not be keeping any of our items in the new game, but it couldn’t prepare you...
Destiny 2: Shadowkeep
I’ve been playing Destiny since the Alpha dropped back in 2014, since then my husband, friends and I have been avid fans. We’ve been there since the start and while being a Destiny fan comes with a love-hate relationship with the game you’d be hard pressed to find a player...
Control
It takes just a beat. I stop in my tracks and I look around the room. I know I’ve been here moments ago but the hallway I just walked through can’t have looped back like that. Wait, didn’t I exit through the door I just entered? Who was that janitor,...
Super heroes have always had a mixed relationship with gaming; not everything soars as high as PlayStation’s exclusive Spider-Man or the Arkham series. What’s always been even harder is the much loved team ups from the comics. There is something really fun about seeing Doctor Strange join forces with Wolverine...
World War Z
Hey remember that Brad Pitt zombie movie World War Z? It had big plans and was going to set the world on fire with its adaptation of a beloved novel that balanced horrific and heartbreaking imagery with believable world building? Then I am sure you’ll remember all of its success,...
Devil May Cry 5
Devil May Cry first leapt on to the gaming scene 19 years ago. After Capcom rebranded the concept from a Resident Evil sequel to a brand new IP it quickly became a pinnacle moment in action gaming. Fast paced and bombastic combat, it became the father of an action sub...
Hyper Jam
Neon and Synth are oozing from the battlefield as my fighter of choice, Vance in his fancy white suit, dashes across the scene armed with only a katana in a room full of rocket launcher wielding enemies. I reflect two missiles but take a third to the face killing me...
Ashen
If you know me, you know I detest and often protest against the use of “Soulslike” or “Soulsborne” as a descriptor of a genre. Becoming a catch all phrase for a game with difficult combat meant that people used it for basically anything that presented even the slightest challenge. Unfortunately...
Battlefield V
Battlefield is an interesting beast. One of the big names in online first person shooters it is perpetually at odds with its competition, not of its own accord but usually by rabid fan bases that have drawn a line in the sand. As such it is never granted the opportunity...
Assassin’s Creed has been a series that has become a cornerstone in modern gaming. After a smash hit release it went from being a hot ticket item to a little bit of a joke with yearly releases that felt hollow and more like cash grabs than any kind of advancement....
Marvel's Spider-Man
In an interview with TIME in 2015, Stan Lee revealed that his publisher thought his new creation Spider-Man was the “worst idea he’d ever had”. No one liked spiders, teenagers should only be sidekicks, and no one wanted a hero with real world problems. Fast forward 56 years and Spider-Man,...
