If you’re Sony, 2016 was a solid year, and it’s extremely hard to continue the momentum you’ve already started. Going into 2017 would be a difficult follow-up due to your A+ library, solid console support, and PlayStation Plus offers.

Since the launch of the Early Access period for Star Wars Battlefront II, we’ve been asked if we are going to review the game, and when the review will be released. Just like any game, we discuss what games we want to cover, and we decide what we feel is best for ourselves as well as our writers.
Over a couple of weekends ago, a trio of our writers here at Blast Away the Game Review was invited to Wizard World in Oklahoma City for the weekend. Over the course of Saturday, they took quite an adventure through it, and what came from it was quite an experience.
Digital Extremes has been hard at work with the latest update, one of the largest yet for their free-to-play game, and one that has been considered to be the best update to the title yet. The new update completely rocked the Warframe community the moment Plains of Eidolon launched.
