2018 has been a good year for arcade-racer fans, as two high-profile open-world titles have stormed onto the scene: The Crew 2 and Forza Horizon 4. Ever since Ubisoft first announced The Crew 2, comparisons were being drawn between it and the Horizon series.

Now that I’ve actually played (and reviewed) both The Crew 2 and Forza Horizon 4, I can give my final thoughts on which racer truly “does it better”....

Saying goodbye to someone you love can be difficult. Never even getting the opportunity is worse. Such is the case with Deadwood, David Milch’s cult Western classic from a different era of HBO prestige programming. From a time before premium cable darlings were expected to compete with cinematic production values, Milch crafted an artful but decidedly niche series in which cowboys spoke with the eloquence of Shakespearean princes while bathing in the verbal vulgarity of, well, a 19th century frontier brothel....
Even if one is less than impressed with Hideo Kojima’s body of work, no one can ever decry it as bland or uninteresting.
