I have experienced a betrayal so foul to a franchise that is just as heinous as X-COM turning into a third-person shooter. In fact, the c

BlizzCon 2018 was fun, right? We had great Overwatch matches, some cool game announcements, and Diablo going mobile. Much to the chagrin of a lot of people online and on YouTube.

I've had my share of gaming laptops over the years. From the tank-like, thick and bulky behemoths to the MacBook Air-lookalikes, they all came in many shape and size. Each trying to stand out from one another with bells and whistles that half of the time does not contribute even an iota to the machine's performance. In

It's been known for the longest time that the super popular Sony PlayStation exclusive Uncharted series has the potential for a silver screen debut.
