The Open-World Dilemma: When Expansiveness Undermines Storytelling

Once upon a time, the open-world concept was a luxury that only a handful of games could afford to explore. Fast-forward to today, and it's almost a rite of passage for a AAA title to boast an expansive, explorable world. This boom has brought some exceptional titles to the table, including the likes of "Witcher 3," "Skyrim," and "Breath of the Wild," but it has also diluted the unique value of truly immersive open-world experiences. Open-world games often advertise a buffet of options: mul

Uncrowned's Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II Review

Welcome to Uncrowned Gaming’s first-ever game review! We will be looking at the hit release Call of Duty Modern Warfare II, although that is the Roman numeral II not the number two as that would be an entirely different game. Yay for modern naming schemes. Overall I enjoy pretty much all the changes that they added to this game and most of the new systems are actually quite positive. However, due to a few key features, this review would actually be more of a thumbs down than a thumbs up.
