Gears of War Comparisons
Gears of War 4 released to the world last week both on Xbox One and Windows 10, many fans hoped for a sequel packing everything they'd dreamt of since Gears of War 3 hit the shelves back in 2011. The last 3 titles in the franchise have been developed for the most part by three separate development teams. GoW 3 by Epic, Judgment by People Can Fly and GoW 4 by The Coalition - this means all three don't share as many similarities as the first three made by Epic.Each has their own pros, cons and features we consider to be
When the Game of Life Owns All Other Games
My name is Flint Stocks. Some of you may know me from my extensive writings on the now indefinitely missing in action game review site, GameXotic.com. Others may not know me at all. When Warren Dance recently suggested I do some writing for Opium Pulses, I was honored. I felt like it was a great opportunity to dust off my keyboard after the long hiatus from writing that resulted from the untimely demise of GameXotic. It was a disaster which stemmed from a classic case of real life problems getting in the way of gaming. It’s a subject worth talking about.The
Can Too Much Hype Kill a Good Game's Reputation?
Hyped games is a sore subject right now after the release of No Man's Sky, a game universally agreed to be over hyped… but is it a bad game? That's hard to tell right now and is something we'll have to judge for ourselves after the dust has settled. Instead, let's take the time to view how it has affected other games in the past. Although I do have my own opinion (both good and bad) on the games mentioned in this article, I'll be sticking closely to the subject... Does too much hype and bad reviews that come as a
Snake's News - Failure Now
Aaaand another week, another piece of news. Here we go, gents. We'll begin with two big failures.MULTIPLAYER IN TELLTALE'S BATMAN IS A F*****G FAILUREWell, it turns out the "crowd play" feature won't be exactly what we wanted it to be. Remember the 2000 players judging your every move and voting for which option to take? Well, the number got cut by 1988. Only up to 12 players will be able to watch and judge you. Even better - they will be able to do it only locally. As if sitting in one room and talking about the choices was obsolete. Telltale,
Snake's News - The Nvidia Redemption
A lil' bit later than usual. I'm a human too, I have to sleep y'know. Also, I had to re-post this 3 times.GTX970 LAWSUIT FINISHEDIf you remember - the GTX970 was advertised as having 4GB of memory, despite having 3.5GB + 0.5GB in reality (don't even do the maths on this, it is a HUGE difference). Anyway, after a mass lawsuit Nvidia has lost and offered to refund $30 to all US customers who bought it.Why $30? Apparently that's how much cheaper the card would be if it was advertised as 3.5GB in the beginning.MAFIA 3: MEET THE VOODOO QUEENAnother trailer

Honestly, Path of Exile (especially with everything they’ve done leading into PoE 2) deserves a top spot on this list. The dark, gritty art style is incredible, and the lighting engine alone is a masterpiece. When you're running through a damp, dimly lit dungeon and your skills light up the entire screen with realistic shadows and reflections, it looks better than most modern triple-A games.
The only downside to the game looking this beautiful is that when your build gets chaotic and the screen fills up with hundreds of exploding monsters, it can get incredibly intense. To actually survive those gorgeous, high-density maps without constantly dying, you need a seriously optimized character.
That’s why so many players, myself included, eventually look to buy Path of Exile items or high-tier gear on trade markets just to get our defenses up. Having the right build lets you actually appreciate how incredible the game looks at max settings instead of staring at a 'You Have Died' screen every two minutes though
