• Impact Plays: God of War – Sony`s New Brilliant Addition To The Franchise

    A traditionally hack-and-slash, fast-paced, God-murdering collection of video games, the God of War series has a pretty large, pretty devoted, fan base. Having already hacked his way through Sparta (and most of the Greek Pantheon), fans were excited to see Kratos now in the realm of Midgard, and expectantly...
  • Impact Plays: 7 Days to Die

    Since its release in June 2016, the zombie survival game 7 Days to Die has received numerous reviews, yet most of them edge more towards criticism than praise, especially regarding the console version, which is the one I played.

  • Impact Plays 2003 Edition: Ratchet and Clank 2

    2003. What a year. We received two The Matrix sequels that we probably didn’t need, the first Call of Duty game came out, and Ratchet and Clank 2: Locked and Loaded (known as Ratchet and Clank 2: Going Commando) was released. Ratchet and Clank 2 is the perfect video game sequel. It expands, builds and...
