I’ve played Banjo-Tooie countless times over the years. And so it’s hard to make one of my favorite games of all time feel fresh. Partly, this is because I tend to do the same thing every single time. For example, I always head left upon entering Terrydactyland and climb the vine behind the waterfall. This…

Xbox Series Outsells…the Sega Genesis
Yeah. The Xbox Series systems have (only just) out sold the Sega Genesis/Mega Drive. This, ah, news was brought forward by VGChartz.com, which reports that the Xbox Series X/S has sold around 34.10 million units during its lifetime so far. For comparison, the Sega Genesis / Mega Drive sold 34.06 million over the course of…
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.
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…
Costco Removes Xbox Products After Latest Price Increase
“Unprecedented” is a really good word to describe the current console generation. While there have certainly been many great games released since the debut of PS5 and Xbox Series consoles, they haven’t made the same kind of difference that past hardware has, which many have found disappointing to say the least. Even more so the…
Xbox Series X|S is Apparently Trailing Xbox 360 in Sales
Xbox has been in kind of a weird place ever since the days of the Xbox 360 came to a close. Despite being the undisputed king of the console market for the entire lifespan of the Xbox 360, Microsoft was never really able to to keep the momentum going thanks to one debacle or another….
You get a Fallout Crossover! And YOU get a Fallout Crossover!
Over the past day or so, news leaked about a set of Fallout cosmetics that apparently will be coming to Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone at some point in the future. About a week ago, a new Fortnite update brought the addition of Fallout gear to the perennial battle royale. They say…
Looking Longingly at PC Gaming
There was a time when I thought consoles were (and would always be) the best way to play. They were so much easier and faster than PCs and I’ve always much preferred a gamepad to keyboard controls. Of course, the years have seen most, if not all, the advantages of console gaming slowly get whittled…
Xbox Capture Deletions Start This Month
Microsoft’s policy regarding in-game captures goes into effect this month, meaning that users need to hurry up and make sure that they’ve backed-up all of their favorite videos and screenshots. As reported by ComicBook.com, it seems that users risk losing that data if they don’t get it offloaded to an external location before the mass deletion…
