CYBERPUNK 2077 [E3 2018]: So Blame it on the Night…

E3's best kept secret was Cyberpunk 2077, the long awaited alt-future RPG from famed Witcher creators CD Projekt RED.

ASSASSIN’S CREED ODYSSEY [E3 2018]: The ‘Wonder’ of It All.

Another Assassin's Creed already? Say it ain't so. Instead of Egypt, fans of the longtime Ubisoft franchise are getting Greece.

I joked with the hands-on dev about female protagonist choice Kassandra's slight resemblance to Diana Prince of Themyscira, …
