Should You Take Your Joy Before Playing We Happy Few? - Review (PC)
Though only the second game to date from Compulsion Games, We Happy Few proves one thing about the studio – they know how to create a captivating world to explore. The studio's follow up to 2013’s Contrast is an incredibly ambitious title that has grown leaps and bounds since it first hit Early Access nearly two years ago. Their ambition growth as a team paid off in some ways and in other ways they seemed to miss the mark.

This is where the single player market will expand - in the crevices of mainstream.

Madden '19 Takes Home the Lombardi - Review (XB1)
Madden ’18 was a return to form for a series that was in desperate need of a fresh start. It’s easy to dismiss games that have yearly iterations as more of the same but, with ’18, not only did they make major improvements to the gameplay and overall fun factor - they added a single player story campaign for the first time with the incredibly popular Longshot mode. Madden ’19 takes everything that was good about ’18 and improves on it in almost every way and even brings back Longshot for season two, making this the best Madden game of the generation.
