QUANTUM BREAK [Review]: Time 4 Sum Aksion.

Ironically, we're late to review a game that revolves around time. But that's OK--GHG knows you don't mind, seeing how the famed Max Payne/Alan Wake developers, Remedy, have already made you wait long enough... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ruY1eT9bXiw But is this union between AAA video game and Netflix-styled TV series worth the wait, hype, and ambition?

HITMAN [Beta Face-Off Review]: Enjoy the Silencer.

GEEK - Good to see you back, old friend. Glad you brought your Twin Ballers. This first closed-beta of Square Enix's Hitman reimagining is pretty robust, but also minimal. There are several different ways to successfully pass the mission. The mission? C'mon, we all know the mission. The same mission we've had since the very …
