Well, I suppose the headline says it all for this one. Those hoping to take advantage of Game Pass’ long-running “14 Days for $1” promotion for Starfield are out of luck. As of now, Microsoft has suspended the promotion until further notice. If you want to play Bethesda’s latest, you’re either going to have to…

Playing the Waiting Game
As I’ve gotten older, I like to think that I’ve grown more patient. I remember counting the days up until one exciting thing or another as a kid, and with video games I couldn’t help but greedily gobble-up every morsel of news or rumors I could find ahead of release. The waiting was awful though,…
Baldur’s Gate Gate 3 Gives Me Hope For the Future of AAA Games
It’s kind of an odd feeling to be having concerning one singular game, yet here it is all the same. Baldur’s Gate 3 has me feeling that perhaps AAA gaming isn’t completely doomed after all. It’s not so much that I expect the game to somehow single-handedly lead the industry out of the darkness or…
Final Fantasy XVI is Kind of Incredible!
Though I’ve played a handful of Final Fantasy games over the years, I’m not sure that I can call myself a Final Fantasy fan per se. Fans, I feel, are more dedicated and more passionate in their feelings regarding their favorite series, I think. Still, perhaps I can at least call myself an “enjoyer” of…
Only One “First”
This past week, my game of choice has been Dredge. It’s a fishing game with eldritch horror elements, and I’ve found myself really enjoying the progression of both the atmosphere and fishing gameplay. I’ve also rather enjoyed learning more about this mysterious world I’m playing in and pulling back the layers of its core mystery….
Final Fantasy XVI is Getting a Day 1 Update
Sqaure Enix has confirmed that Final Fantasy XVI is indeed getting a day one update when it launches on 6/22. This likely isn’t going to come as a surprise to anyone considering that launch day updates have been standard practice practically since the launch of the PS4, yet there is something about this one that…
It Seems Atomic Heart is Selling Rather Well!
Good news for fans of AA-level games: Atomic Heart is actually doing fairly well. As reported by Mp1st.com, the publisher of Atomic Heart, Focus Entertainment, released a revenue report that claims that the company’s overall revenues are up about 36% from last year. This inlcudes everything that the company publishes, but Atomic Heart sales in…
I’m Kinda Glad Morality Systems Went Away
You know, I used to quite like morality systems in video games. They had a way of giving one’s choices some narrative weight and were often what a game’s different ending hinged on. That said though, I’ve found my opinion on the mechanic changing over the years. It’s not that the idea itself is bad,…
Quantum Break is Leaving Game Pass Soon
It seems that Remedy’s time travel action sci-fi epic, Quantum Break, will be leaving Game Pass sometime in April. It’s been a part of the service since practically the very beginning, so this normally wouldn’t be all that surprising. After all, most games spend much less time available as part of Xbox’s subscription service. However,…
