The announcement of Divinity is old news by now, but I wanted to talk about it because of the circumstances around it. First, it’s kind of funny that it’s getting much more attention and discussion than Highguard, the chosen “one more thing” at the end of the show that was supposed to set the internet…

Netflix to Acquire Warner Bros. Games
I won’t pretend that I know any thing about corporate-scale business, but I’m starting to wonder if the people running these companies actually know all that much more, I mean, you’d think keeping a company that brings in tens of millions of dollars a year solvent would be relatively doable, but I guess not. So,…
So…Prince of Persia: Sands of Time Might Get a Remake?
Rumors have been swirling lately that Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time might be seeing a remake as early as January next year. The thing is, Prince of Persia is, and has always been, a Ubisoft property. If it was the Ubisoft of the 2010s making this potential remake, I’d be excited. But this…
Star Citizen Breaks Yearly Crowdfunding Record Somehow
You know, as much as I’d like to just hate on something that I personally consider a scam, I’d rather just say that I really hope that everyone invested in the project is happy with what they’re getting out of it. Really, I do. There was a time when it looked like Star Citizen was…
The GabeCube is is Real!
This isn’t exactly news anymore, but I wanted to talk about Valve’s surprise announcement last week. I mean it probably shouldn’t have been a surprise since Valve already has the Steam Deck and its VR device, and it already tried the Steam Machine thing once before. Yet, this time it feels different. This time Valve…
Tim Cain Remarks on How Digital-Only Hasn’t Saved Gamers Any Money
Gaming has been around a long time, as have many of us who enjoy games as a proper hobby. We’ve a great many changes and shifts in the gaming market over our many years, but one of the most significant is one that has been nearly all-encompassing yet hasn’t delivered on the industry’s most important…
Halo: Campaign Evolved Won’t Have Online PvP
A lot of info about Halo: Campaign Evolved over the past few days, Proper gameplay was shown, comparison videos have been made, and it’s coming to PlayStation (how crazy is that?)! But, there will apparently be one big negative: no online competitive multiplayer.
Pokemon Legends Z-A Is Looking Rough, and It Really Shouldn’t
I’ve long been of the opinion graphics don’t really matter, certainly not of much as they used to. You could have the most realistic or high fidelity game ever made and it’d still be garbage if the gameplay is no good (see: The Callisto Protocol). However, this isn’t to say that visuals don’t matter at…
Xbox Hardware Mostly Unavailable in Europe
In a past news post, I speculated that Microsoft secretly wants out of the console business and is purposely driving customers away from Xbox in order to make the move less messy. It’s only my pet theory, but I think it’d go a long way towards explaning the baffling string of decisions made regarding the…
Xbox Game Pass Discount Scrapped on All Games and DLC Purchases
With every move it makes this year, my suspicion that Microsoft is looking to scrap the Xbox label grows stronger. Seriously, tell me how any of these decisions make the brand more attractive to potential customers. First and foremost, no good first-party games despite buying up half the AAA industry. Second, the price hikes on…
