Summer of Gaming (and Xbox's time to shine)!
It's that time of year where summer kicks off and game companies are ready to show off the latest and greatest in gaming. And while E3 may be a distant memory (for now), Summer Game Fest and all of its individual publisher showcases are ready to take part of the festivities. But in particular, we...

The Case For A Better Xbox?
The Xbox brand has been hit hard the last couple of weeks between the CMA blocking the Activision Blizzard King acquisition and now with the underwhelming reviews given to the release of Redfall. It has created a situation where many media outlets and content creators are calling for Phil Spencer...

Stop Preordering Games
2023 has seen its share of big game releases so far, but it has also seen its fair share of bugs, glitches, and performance issues. Hogwarts Legacy, Wild Hearts, Wo-Long, Star Wars Jedi Survivor, and The Last of Us Part 1 have all fallen under these buckets of late. It is not a new issue if…

Sony Going Back To Handheld Gaming?
The last handheld system that Sony had was the Vita, which died a quiet death a few years ago as Sony went full speed on their console support. Which is why it was curious to learn of rumors of Project Q-Lite, which supposedly is either Sony's new cloud gaming handheld or is a dedicated handheld...

E3 2023 Is Dead
Since 1995, E3 has been a gaming staple to showcase the latest games coming out for consumers to enjoy and to also give publishers and developers a platform to strike deals for the upcoming releases. Over the last 5 years though, it has suffered an identity crisis trying to figure out its…

The Success of the Switch
Nintendo Switch is on a warpath in sales as it was announced as end of September 30th that they have sold around 114 million devices. An impressive feat that should be honored even as we call for Nintendo to upgrade its specs or start thinking about its new hardware in the midst of the launch of...

Playing Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim in 2022
I have never played Skyrim before until these last few weeks. It was a game that came out during a time where gaming was less of a priority in my life. Building a big sprawling world where you can be immersed it and see your character grow is not an easy game to make. Bethesda has been kings at...
-
The Fall of G4TV
G4TV is gone....again. Try as it might to stand out in a 2022 gaming media landscape, it eventually found itself competing with tons of gaming channels across the YouTube and Twitch platforms that consumers have been more drawn to during G4TV's original absence. What was done wrong and who is to...

The Playstation Remaster/Remake Train Continues
We're only a month removed from The Last of Us Part 1's remake release on the PS5 and already the rumor train is milling over a potential remaster/remake of 2017's Horizon Zero Dawn along with a multiplayer mode involving co-op. Is this the direction Sony should be taking with their franchises?…

The Resurgence of Cyberpunk 2077
The launch of Cyberpunk 2077 back in December 2020 will go down as the one of the most critically panned launches in gaming history. Even with many calling it a good game on its own, it still ruined CD Projekt Red's reputation as they pulled the wool over the eyes of console customers and even…

Grand Theft Auto 6 Leaks
Yesterday was a very bad day for Rockstar Games and Take Two. And one can only imagine what the week(s) will look like ahead for them. The GTA6 leaks are the talk of the town right now and could go down as one of the worst game leaks in the history of the industry. What are the implications of...

The Problem With Subscription Services
Streaming services across TV, movies, and video games are all the rage nowadays. You can't help but be enamored considering the cheap cost of admission and the abundance of content that goes with them. With that said, one has to wonder if it has a cost to them we're not seeing. Companies behind...
-
Video Game Remake Controversy
The Last of Us Part 1 Remake was announced last month and is releasing on September 2nd on PS5 and PC platforms. Timeless as the game is, there has been controversy about whether or not it is a "cash grab" given it is remaking a barely 10-year-old game that already had a remaster on PS4 8 years…

Summer Games Fest is here!
Video game Christmas has arrived again! While strange to not call it E3 this year, the excitement is still palpable with Summer Game Fest, Devolver, Xbox/Bethesda, and Capcom all having showcases of new and upcoming games. That said, you can't help but feel some hesitation on what and when is to...

Support your indie games

-
Are video games too big?
I’m playing Horizon Forbidden West currently and it’s been great. But being 10 hours in and the game being a beast of a 60+ hour game, I feel like I will get to the point where it gets too much and my backlog will continue to grow. Am I alone in this thinking? Let’s discuss.
-
Halo Infinite Review
343 had a lot to live up to with Halo Infinite after subpar offering of their campaigns in Halo 4 and 5. So much so they convinced Microsoft to delay the game a year after when it was supposed to come out for the launch of the Xbox Series X and S platforms. Did it deliver the punch it needed? I…

PlayStation Plus Upgrades (?)
Playstation’s Spartacus has been revealed and it’s…..ok? With new tiers and questions on the value of the higher ones, one has to wonder if this truly is a competitor to Xbox Game Pass. Let’s discuss.
-
Difficulty in games
Elden Ring came out last week and like a lot of From Software’s games, it created a conversation around difficulty in games and if a studio should be incorporating more options to make it less difficult. Is it something they should do or does it interfere with the studio’s vision? We discuss!
-
Patience for gaming releases
February 2022 has a ton of great gaming releases going on. But leading into this month, I question if people really had the patience to wait for them.

Nintendo sets the tone for 2022
Just when you think the Switch is winding down, here comes Nintendo with another Direct to let you know otherwise. And this is without a peep of Metroid Prime 4 or Breath of the Wild 2. Let’s break it down.

Twitch Streaming Struggles

New Games vs Your Backlog
Is it just me or do we have FOMO when it comes to new video game releases? Especially when we talk about how much of our backlog we need to get to. Let’s discuss.

Episode 158 - Sony says no more to E3, delays for everybody!
You go away for 2020 for a while and look what happens... Sony is once again out for E3 2020. Is Sony making a mistake going into a big holiday console launch? Or is the real story the fizzling relevance that E3 itself seems to be becoming? And then delays has shifted tons of key games that we...

Episode 153 - Sony State of Play is coming, Game time with Gears 5 and Borderlands 3
Beyond their State of Plays, Sony has been relatively quiet this year as they presumably get ready for the PS5 generation next year. Which is why it got all the more surprising when they announced another State of Play coming up on September 24th. Compared to their last live streams though, this...

Sony finally announced a release date for Death Stranding with a new trailer that came out a couple of days ago.

-
Episode 144 - The State of E3
E3 2019 is a few weeks away! We'll be ramping up with episodes soon on what each of the console makers, publishers, and developers will be doing this year, but I thought it would be good to also look at the E3 event as a whole. With companies like Sony completely bowing out of E3 and others...

The latest State of Play from Sony was short but sweet as we got some good reveals of an expansion to a hit game, a remaster for PS4, and a game we haven't heard from in years but will be a good showcase for the remaining PS4 exclusives before the next generation hits. And EA had their latest...
