With a some extra time on our hands over the recent holiday weekend, my household dug a little further into some multiplayer options through Game Pass. We steered clear of MMOs and looked for local multiplayer and co-op options. In doing so, a huge surprise rose to the top: Fable III. “Wait, WHAT?” was my…

Just because I won’t be playing these games on Valentine’s Day, it doesn’t mean you shouldn’t
Today is Valentine’s Day. No matter if it’s much-loved or much-maligned in your book, it remains somewhat inescapable, at least as far as the general public is concerned.
