We’re not talking about a new Starship Troopers game here. We’re talking about a sequel to one of the most underrated online (and no, it cannot be played offline) co-op shooters I’ve seen since Chromehounds on the Xbox 360! Released on the PlayStation 5 and Steam for PC by Arrowhead Studios, Helldivers 2 has become a hit thanks to its well-balanced difficulty and other important factors.

Recently, my beloved G4TV was hit with major layoffs. I say, my beloved because I've come to love and enjoy the bizarre content that has only recently been allowed to blossom. However, there are plenty of viewers that constantly disapprove of the content as well as the choice in talent.

From Sideshow To Mainstream

Dynasty Warriors is a longstanding juggernaut in the realm of hack n slash games. Standing alongside the likes of Golden Axe, God of War, Diablo, and Devil May Cry, Dynasty Warriors has its own unique take on the genre. Decidedly mediocre when game critics shine a light on its flaws, DW still manages to find ways to play with the line between button mashing, grinding for experience, and offering tons of playable characters. Dynasty Warriors 9 continues this trend with one major wrinkle to sha...

Let’s dig deeper into what Mount & Blade 2 Bannerlord is and what it i...
