Video Game Review: Warhammer: End Times – Vermintide

Vermintide features a campaign that takes you from the very beginning days of the invasion all the way to the ground-shaking conclusion, with some standalone levels tossed in for good measure.

After gallivanting all across the globe, Agent 47 is finally ready to do some work stateside behind enemy lines in Episode 5: Colorado.

Video Game Review: BioShock: The Collection

We were surprised at how much came flooding back to us as soon as we fired each one of them up, which is a testament to both the gameplay and the strength of the narrative. BioShock 2 lags a little bit behind due to being so similar to the original, but its gameplay is superior thanks to a couple smart changes. On that front, it’s worth noting that the ill-fated (though quite enjoyable) multiplayer from the sequel is not included.
