Another standard E3 event this year was the first gameplay trailer for Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare, a game that you would think would be the highlight of the upcoming gaming season that instead is being treated like the worst thing ever. Why though? Why are people hating on Infinite Warfare? Because it’s too futurist? […]
Make no mistake about it, I genuinely enjoy Titanfall. I’m a fan of mechs as is, and to have a FPS that is mech based was a great idea. Titanfall had massive hype, but sad to say, to the masses, it didn’t deliver. While being multiplayer only, usually a bane to my enjoyment of a […]
Looks like Destiny is falling into the yearly update cycle proper with this next expansion – a cycle started last year with The Taken King expansion. Steady content updates are good things, you have to keep games like this fresh for people to keep wanting to play, and considering the love it or hate it […]
In 2014, Ubisoft released their highly anticipated hacking-centric open world shooter “Watch Dogs”, and it was met with mixed emotions. Many players loved the unique gameplay element of hacking into various electronics, and felt the city of Chicago was captured well, but criticized the driving controls, some story and character elements and most of all, […]
What better to start my E3 2016 posts with than what is probably the most major “ready to go” product announcement this year: the new, slimline Xbox One. I make no effort to hide that I am an Xbox fan now. Oddly, it was the Xbox One that made me want to try Microsoft’s hardware, […]
E3 2016 has already been quite a bit of excitement, with announcements we all expected combined with some that are coming totally out of left field. So far I haven’t written much of anything about it simply due to me waiting for the bulk of the announcements I would care about (namely Sony and Microsoft) […]
Looks like Microsoft has another change coming to the user interface of the Xbox One. This isn’t too major of an upgrade, but it looks to be a good one. Let’s look it over. Cortana: Cortana, the Halo themed voice activate assitant available on Windows Phone and Windows 10 platforms, is coming to the Xbox […]
So the most current bit geeky pop culture news floating around, that at least caught my attention, is this story on Kotaku about a guy turning a Burger King toy from around 2000, into a functional Game Boy. At least, that’s what the article states, and while this isn’t a lie, it isn’t quite what […]
Next weekend is going to be a big one for the gaming world; this years Electronic Entertainment Expo, or E3, the largest event in the gaming world, will be occurring in Los Angeles. I’m not one for hype… gaming hype especially is often the key thing ruining a game experience for many, but with the […]
I’ve been playing Farcry 4 off and on for the past few months. Yeah, it’s a 2014 title, but it’s still a good one – in fact, it was the first game I bought for my Xbox One when I purchased it last year, but only in November of 2015 did I get around to […]
I’ve been meaning to write about Angry Video Game Nerd episodes for years now. The videos, while extremely crass and possibly intolerable for some types, are also well loved by so many others, especially gamers of my age range who grew up playing games on the Atari 2600, the NES, and later consoles. We grew […]
Many gamers felt the Games with Gold offerings in May 2016 were sub par. Even I felt they were rather hit and miss, but I never turn down a chance for free games, and I always look forward to what the next month will offer – you never know when a random game will become […]
UK based YouTube Channel “Xbox On” uploaded a short video I found relatively interesting; at least, interesting enough to write about here, where they list 36 facts about the Xbox 360 game console. Now, honestly, this number is an exaggeration. There are maybe 10 main facts, if even that many, with various ancillary facts related […]
Proving yet again how absolutely broken the YouTube copyright system is, Fox has issued a DMCA takedown against a YouTube video of the NES game “Double Dribble.” The reason? The video clip, which was uploaded in 2009, was used in the most recent (at this time) episode of the animated comedy Family Guy. That’s right. […]
Let’s go back. Way back. over 15 years into the past, to high school computer labs in late 2000 and early 2001. At this time, I didn’t have a computer at home (amazing, I know!) so my only real access to PC’s, or the internet, was at school. This was fine by me – I […]
