Another week, another showcase! This time round it was Microsoft showing off all its upcoming Xbox goodies. This included a 45-minute dive into Starfield, which was a thing in and of itself. This game remains one of my most-anticipated, and that hasn’t changed. (My birthday is right around the time it releases, so happy birthday…

Xbox Isn’t Planning a Mid-Gen Console Upgrade. Good.
As part of the deluge of announcements to come out of Summer Games Fest, Microsoft announced that it currently has not plans for a mid-generation console. That’s really all there is to it, and, frankly, I’m glad. I really didn’t like that we had mid-gen consoles in the first place.
Looks Like Microsoft is Going to Buy Activision Afterall
For a minute, it looked like Microsoft’s buyout of Activision was going to be averted thanks to the EU not being on board with the merger. Unfortunately, it seems these sorts of mergers are all but inevitable. It was just announced a day or so ago that the EU’s regulatory body, the European Commission, just…
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,…
Halo Infinite Online Might Just Remain a Disaster
Halo Infinite has been an utter mess since the word “go!,” and it’s looking more and more like it’s going to stay that way.

Minecraft: More Than Ten Years Later and Still Going Strong
It’s kind of amazing to me that Minecraft is over a decade old now and yet is still very relevant in today’s gaming landscape. How many games can boast a similar feat? I mean sure there are games that still inspire today’s works and plenty of games that people still play, but how many games…

Halo Infinite Will Be Missing Features at Launch
A few days ago, 343i released a “development update” video for Halo Infinite. There’s a lot of good and interesting info in it, so definitely check it out if you have time. Still, the biggest announcement was that the game will be missing a couple of key features at launch, these being Campaign Co-Op and…
Halo Infinite Multiplayer Looks…Good!
Okay, so this is actually a little late, but I figured now would be a good time to talk about it since people have been having fun with the beta recently. Unfortunately, I’m still lacking any of the new consoles, so I can only look on in envy. Still, I must say that Halo is…
