Might as well get to the bulk of my E3 coverage this year: the actual presentation by the major players — at least, the ones I care to share here directly. As I’ve made known over the years, I only pay as much attention to E3 as I need to to be aware of what’s […]

The Kinect Is Dead
So, in more gaming news over the past few days, Microsoft announced that they were ending sales of the Kinect accessory and, I can only presume, no more game software will be released that supports, or at least none that will absolutely require, the device. I’d say, about time. While the Kinect in principle isn’t […]
How I’m Going To Do E3 Game Coverage
Original Xbox Games To Be Playable On The Xbox One
A somewhat minor announcement from Microsoft yesterday that has me quite excited is that later in 2017 games from the original Xbox library will be playable on the Xbox One as an extension of backwards compatibility! The original Xbox had a relatively short life – from late 2001, till 2005 and the release of the […]
Let The E3 2017 Coverage Begin!
Just because I’m “not excited for E3” doesn’t mean the news presented at the event doesn’t excite me! It certainly does, and had you read that previous article carefully you would have seen the point is the information, not the event itself – the event is archaic, but the news shared isn’t. No, I’m Not […]
No, I’m Not Excited For E3 2017
The yearly Electronics Entertainment Expo, known as “E3” will be taking place from June 13th through the 15th, 2017. As usual, the gaming community, both average gamers and the games media, are getting excited to see what Sony, Nintendo, Microsoft, and the dozens of major 3rd party game publishers will be showing off. As the […]
June 2017 Xbox Live Games With Gold
Time for the next months Games with Gold lineup, and this time we’re changing the article format a bit. Something I find interesting is that this time around, I’m seeing pretty positive feedback on the YouTube comments on this one, a rare treat to see people not complaining nonstop about the game selection. That’s a […]
Game Accessory Maker Mad Catz Is No More
UPDATE: The company returned on January 4th, 2018: https://www.xadara.com/the-return-of-mad-catz/ Back on March 30th, 2017, video game hardware accessory maker Mad Catz announced it was closing, after filing Chapter 7 bankruptcy and being de-listed from the New York Stock Exchange. The company has been spiraling downhill for quite some time now, sadly, and while there are […]
Xbox Game Pass – It Seems Alright To Me
Upon waking up today I looked through twitter, as I do every day, and found Xbox’s “Major Nelson” tweeting about a new service coming to the Xbox brand: Xbox Game Pass. https://majornelson.com/2017/02/28/introducing-xbox-game-pass-unlimited-access-to-more-than-100-games/ This is pretty straightforward service, from the looks of things: Pay about $10 a month and have a selection of full games to […]
March 2017 Xbox Live Games With Gold
February 2017 Xbox Live Games With Gold
Feburary, the shortest month of the year. Still, more games are coming to you free with a Gold subscription on Xbox Live (and seriously, what adult Xbox gamer doesn’t have an active live subscription?) This months list doesn’t look the best, but we’ll go over each game one by one and see how they stack […]
