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…

Arkane Studios Founder Slams GamePass After Microsoft’s Massive Cuts
One of my takes that’s absolutely aged like milk over the past couple of years was that GamePass was a good thing. More and more often I keep coming back to that position and wondering why I ever held it. Not only has it been doing to gaming what Netflix and the like have done…

Fable III Co-Op: Better Late Than Never?
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…
(Very) Late to the Party with Xbox Game Pass
In recent times, my household received a lovely gaming gift: a trial subscription to Xbox Game Pass. For a month, we had a great time perusing the app’s amazing selection of games and adding oodles of title to our “to-play” list. And we had just as good a time (sort of) agonizing over the lack…
More STALKER 2 Info Drops
S.T.A.L.K.E.R: Shadow of Chernobyl ( and Call of Pripyat) have been gaining ground for years as PC cult-classics. The following was enough to inspire the developer, GSC Game World to announce a sequel last year. Since then, new about S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 has been scarce, but the developer finally dropped a bunch of new information a…
